Bio

As an ENT specialist, I have interest in diagnosing and treating environmental allergies affecting the Ear, Nose, and Throat. This includes pollens, molds, dust mites, cat, and dog. People think of allergy as "hayfever", with sneezing, runny nose, stuffiness, and itchy eyes. Allergy is also related to chronic ear fluid and infections, ear pain/fullness/pressure, nasal polyps, sinus infections, throat mucous, and voice changes. These symptoms can be caused by other conditions as well. Therefore, a comprehensive history and physical exam is performed in the office. If environmental allergy may be causing your symptoms, testing can be performed to help identify your triggers. The basic treatment approach begins with avoidance of offending allergens and medication to control your symptoms. If this does not help, allergy shots or drops may be recommended. Because each patient is unique, my goal is to help find the best treatment approach for you that helps relieve your symptoms.
