We can reduce chronic infections and correct sinus problems and chronic congestion by removing nasal polyps and repairing deviated septums.

We are the first facility in the nation to use the Stryker iNtellect ENT Navigation System to assist with endoscopic nasal and sinus surgery. This advanced system pairs a computed tomography (CT) scan of the patient’s sinuses with computer software that creates 3-D maps to guide the physician during surgery and avoid extending beyond the sinuses. This technology offers more precision and allows for a safer procedure.
