Dizziness
Most people have experienced dizzy spells from normal movement or amusement park rides. This can be very frightening, when it occurs unexpectedly. There are three main systems that the body uses to identify its position (equilibrium) in space. The inner ear is one of these organ systems. The semi-circular canals and the vestibule are two parts of the inner ear that function primarily to detect the speed, direction and degree of movement of the head. In normal movement there is constant information being sent to the brain along with messages from the eyes and muscles to report the body's position in space. It is the job of the brain to synthesize this information to give you a sense of balance.
Balance is very complex; dizziness can result when misinformation is sent from any of the three balance organ systems or from the brain's inability to correctly process the information. Dizziness, therefore, is a symptom - not an illness in itself. There are many illnesses of the inner ear which can cause misinformation to be sent to the brain. Inner ear infections, injury, over-accumulation of inner ear fluids and tumors are common inner ear causes of dizziness. In addition, non-ear related problems, such as high blood pressure, blood sugar problems, nerve disorders (e.g. multiple sclerosis), stress and fatigue, can also cause similar feelings of dizziness.
Because the balance system is so complex and there are many causes of dizziness, we are trained to identify key symptoms and to evaluate your inner ear with a number of diagnostic tests. Sometimes the help of other doctors such as a Neurologist may be necessary. Often, when the cause is the inner ear, we can provide medicine, therapy or surgery to resolve the problem. In any event, we are ready to help you receive any treatment you may need to get better.

Plastic Surgery
Otolaryngologists, such as Dr. Marchetta, Dr. Robbins, and Dr. Reschak, can receive up to 15 years of college and post-graduate training in plastic surgery, concentrating on procedures that reconstruct the elements of the face. Because they study the complex anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the entire head and neck, our surgeons are uniquely qualified to perform the procedures that affect the whole face.
In addition to reconstructive facial plastic surgery, our surgeons provide the following cosmetic services:
Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty - Surgery of the external and internal nose in which cartilage and bone are restructured and reshaped to improve the appearance and function of the nose.
Blepharoplasty - Surgery of the upper and/or lower eyelids to improve the function and/or look of the eyes.
Rhytidectomy - Surgery of the skin of the face and neck to tighten the skin and remove excess wrinkles.
Browlift - Surgery to improve forehead wrinkles and droopy eyebrows.
Liposuction - Surgery to remove excess fat under the chin or in the neck.
Facial implants - Surgery to make certain structures of the face (cheek, lips, chin) more prominent and well defined.
Otoplasty - Surgery to reshape the cartilage of the ears so they protrude less.
Skin surface procedures - Surgery using lasers, chemical peels, or derma-abrasion to improve the smoothness of the skin.
Facial reconstruction - Surgery to reconstruct defects in facial skin as a result of prior surgery, injury, or disease. This includes reconstruction of defects resulting from cancer surgery, scar revision, repair of lacerations to the face from prior trauma, removal of birth marks, and correction of congenital abnormalities of the skull, palate, or lips.
Non-surgical procedures - Techniques such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and injectables. Injectables are medications that can be placed under the skin to improve the appearance of the face, such as botox, collagen, Restylane, and other fillers.

Sinusitis
Have you ever had a cold or allergy attack that wouldn't go away? If so, there's a good chance you actually had sinusitis. Experts estimate that 37 million people are afflicted with sinusitis each year, making it one of the most common health conditions in America. That number may be significantly higher, since the symptoms of bacterial sinusitis often mimic those of colds or allergies, and many sufferers never see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Sleep Disorders
Our team can help diagnose the cause of your sleep disorder. An examination will reveal if the snoring is caused by nasal allergy, infection, deformity, or tonsils and adenoids. Snoring or obstructive sleep apnea may respond to various treatments now available.
