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.

Cosmetic Facial Plastic Surgery
Did you know that Otolaryngologists 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.
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.
Otoplasty – Surgery to reshape the cartilage of the ears so they protrude less.
Ear Lobe Repair – Surgery to help reconstruct the lobe of the ear due to damage from an earring or gauge.
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. In addition to traditional medical management and sinus surgery, we also offer in-office balloon sinuplasty. Check out our Advanced Treatments page to learn more about other minimally invasive procedures, many that can be done in the office, that we offer.
Sleep Disorders
Our team can help diagnose the cause of your sleep disorder. An examination will reveal if your Obstructive Sleep Apnea or snoring is caused by nasal allergy, infection, deformity, or tonsils and adenoids. There are many new treatment options available to manage these conditions.
