- SinusitisWe were one of the first in the area to perform in-office balloon sinuplasty, a breakthrough procedure that relieves sinus pain and sinus pressure associated with chronic sinusitis.
- SnoringSnoring is a noise produced during sleep that originates in the back of the throat or nose. Snoring occurs when the muscles in the back of the mouth, tongue and throat relax while sleeping, which narrows or blocks the airway. Breathing causes your uvula (soft palate) to vibrate and knock against the back of the throat, resulting in the snoring sounds. Swollen or infected tonsils and adenoids, blocked nasal passages or deviated septum can also narrow the airway and lead to snoring.
- Primary CareThat all patients with flu-like symptoms (cough, fever, fatigue) reschedule their appointments until they are cleared by their primary care doctor.
- Ear InfectionsAdenoids are lymph tissue located in the back of your nose. The adenoids can become enlarged or infected. When infected, they can lead to a chronic sore throat, ear infections, or sinus infections.
- Bronchitis
- Pneumonia
- Endoscopy
- Multiple SclerosisDysarthria: Â Dysarthria is a speech disorder caused by weakness of the lips, tongue, palate, and facial muscles as well as the respiratory system. It can be caused by stroke, brain injury, tumors, surgery, Parkinson’s disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis among other neurological conditions.
- Diabetes Care
- MRI
- X-Rays
- Computed TomographySymptoms lasting more than 12 weeks or recurring multiple times within a year are considered Chronic Sinusitis. Your Eastern Virginia ENT & Allergy doctor may use x-rays, CT Scan, and other tests to determine if you have Sinusitis. Treatment of sinusitis depends on the cause, and may include medications, self-care and prescriptions. Other treatment options for recurring or chronic sinus complications may be needed. If left untreated, sinusitis can lead to more serious infections or complications due to the proximity to the brain and other areas of the head.
- Ear SurgeryBalance therapy has been instrumental in helping patients recover from vestibular impairment. It is appropriate for patients who have persistent imbalance after recovering from vertigo, patients with vertigo that is induced by certain positions such as BPPV, patients with bilateral loss of balance function, patients recovering from acoustic neuroma or inner ear surgery, and patients with limb weakness, diabetes, or other problems that prevent them from compensating from loss of balance.

- Cyst
- UlcerContact ulcer/granuloma: Â Contact granulomas develop due to persistent tissue irritation in the posterior larynx. Signs and symptoms may include hoarseness or a feeling of a lump in the throat. They are commonly seen in people use their voice excessively.
- FungusThe sinuses are air-filled cavities that surround the nose and nasal passages. If these passages become inflamed, fluid can build up, and interfere with the drainage of mucus in the sinuses. This condition is called sinusitis. The sinus inflammation can be caused by infections from a virus, bacteria or fungus. A deviated nasal septum or other blockages can cause sinus infections and may be develop either acute or chronic sinusitis.
- LesionsVocal fold lesions (such as nodules, polyps, and cysts):  Benign laryngeal lesions  are abnormal growths of the vocal folds or the larynx (voice box) that are NOT cancerous.
- Rashes
- Physical TherapyLabyrinthitis is an acute vestibular syndrome, consisting of spinning vertigo, nausea, and sometimes vomiting, lasting for several hours to several days. The most common cause is a virus of the inner ear. It is incapacitating when it first happens. The acute phase is treated with medications such as meclizine or Valium, anti-nausea drugs and fluids. Once this subsides, patients are usually off balance for several days or longer. The situation usually recovers back to normal. Persistent imbalance may be treated with vestibular physical therapy (“balance therapy†).
- AllergiesOur specialists can help develop your allergy management plan. Allergy testing and treatment places a very important role and management can include Immunotherapy in the form of allergy shots, tablets or drops.
