Care for your ears, nose, and throat.
From ear concerns and sinus symptoms to changes in your voice or swallowing, our team provides evaluation and personalized treatment in Flint, Michigan.
What brings you in?
Patients come to us with a wide range of ear, nose, and throat concerns. These are some of the reasons people schedule an evaluation with our team.
Ear concerns
Hearing changes, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), ear pain, earwax buildup, and dizziness or balance concerns.
Nose and sinus concerns
Difficulty breathing through the nose, recurring sinus symptoms, postnasal drainage, changes in smell, and recurring nosebleeds.
Throat and voice concerns
Persistent throat discomfort, voice changes, and swallowing concerns.
Snoring and sleep-related breathing concerns can also be discussed with our team.
Nasal Procedures
Nasal and sinus symptoms can have different causes. Your evaluation helps determine which treatment options may be appropriate.
Septoplasty
The nasal septum is the wall of cartilage and bone that separates the two sides of your nose. Septoplasty addresses a deviated septum when it contributes to difficulty breathing through the nose.
Functional rhinoplasty
Functional rhinoplasty addresses structural problems affecting airflow through the nose. Your evaluation helps determine whether this approach may be appropriate for your breathing concerns.
Sinusitis treatment
Sinusitis involves inflammation of the sinuses and can cause congestion, drainage, and facial pressure. Treatment depends on your evaluation and may include nonsurgical care, functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), or in-office sinus balloon dilation when appropriate.

The right approach depends on the cause of your symptoms and your individual evaluation. Our team will discuss which options may be appropriate and explain their benefits, risks, and follow-up.
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS)
FESS uses a small endoscope to guide surgery through the nostrils. It can improve sinus drainage by addressing tissue or structures that block the sinus openings.
In-office sinus balloon dilation
This procedure uses a small balloon to widen selected sinus openings and support drainage. It is an option for certain patients following an evaluation.
