Expert services and solutions for nasal conditions.

Chronic Sinusitis

When your sinuses are blocked or inflamed, you may be in pain, have trouble breathing, and experience other symptoms that lower your quality of life. If you’re one of 37 million Americans with sinusitis, our expert ENT specialists can help you find relief.

Symptoms of sinusitis include:

Pain or pressure in your face
Stuffed, blocked, or runny nose
Coughing or congestion

Nasal Trauma

Nasal fractures or trauma can make it much harder to breathe through the nose and can significantly alter your appearance. Nasal trauma can include damage to any of the nose structures, including the skin, cartilage, or bone. Immediate treatment is necessary for any type of nasal trauma. Our ENT specialist’s can repair nasal fractures and help you breathe easier.

Rhinoplasty

At Family Ear, Nose & Throat, we can perform a rhinoplasty surgery (nose job) to improve both appearance and functionality of your nose. Patients of any age can have a rhinoplasty as long as their nose has finished growing. For girls, the minimum age is 14-15 and for boys around 17-18.

Through rhinoplasty we can correct most cosmetic problems with your nose, including:

Deviated Septum

If you experience nasal congestion, frequent nosebleeds, or postnasal drips, then you may have a deviated septum. A deviated septum can make it difficult for you to breathe correctly, particularly when you have an upper respiratory infection such as a cold or sinus infection.

Symptoms of a deviated septum include:

However, if snoring becomes very loud, interferes with sleep, or becomes bothersome to your partner, it may be time to see us at Family Ear, Nose & Throat.

Because snoring can be due to sleep apnea, we may recommend a sleep study to see if you have sleep apnea.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea can be diagnosed by monitoring you while you sleep and counting how many times you stop or almost stop breathing. Sleep apnea often causes you to snore and can lead to symptoms like extreme fatigue.

Common symptoms that may not be obvious of sleep apnea include:
