Sinusitis Treatment: In-Office Balloon Sinus Dilation

We are a recognized National Center of Excellence for In-Office Balloon Sinus Dilation

Sinusitis sufferers-find instant relief that lasts. In-office balloon sinus dilation is a minimally-invasive option that can be performed by one of our physicians in our office. The goal of in-office balloon sinus dilation is to reshape anatomy to expand sinus pathways and restore drainage.

Dilate

Your physician gently inflates the small balloon and dilates the treatment area to restore drainage. The balloon is removed from the treatment area.

 

The procedure utilizes small balloons placed in key places in the nose and sinus, which are then dilated to expand the sinus pathways. It may be an effective, lasting option for some patients whose symptoms do not resolve with medication.

    All staff members were friendly and helpful. Very nice, new facility. Very efficient, no wait time on my appointment. I was told they day before I would have a scope and what the cost would be. After initial exam, it was not needed. So I would say it is a trustworthy place to go.

    Fantastic meeting with Dr. Shah at the Shiloh IL. facility. He was very professional, and approachable. He asked questions, listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs to see an ENT expert. He exceeded my expectations.

    Being a nurse, I am very PARTICULAR regarding care. My husband has received excellent care from Dr. George. We were introduced at Memorial East ER when I took my husband for a severe nosebleed after exhausting all of my nursing skills to get it under control. Dr. George was very professional, knowledgeable and most of all a terrific bedside manner. Follow up in his private office has also been exceptional from the intake staff and nursing personnel. I highly recommend Dr. George and this facility for treatment.
