Your sinuses are the spaces filled with air between, behind, and below, and above the eyes.

We see patients for any kind of sinus, allergy, or skull base related symptoms. This includes changes to smell or taste, sinus infections that occur more than a few times a year, allergy issues, and more.

When you arrive for your appointment, you can expect thorough care and a complete diagnostic process. Using your medical history and any tests that are deemed appropriate, such as x-rays or allergy testing, your doctor will work with you to find the best treatment for your symptoms.

Your sinuses are filled with a lining called mucosa. The lining is moist and very thin–about 1mm. Sinusitis occurs when the lining becomes inflamed.

Headaches can be caused by many different things. However, they may be related to sinus problems if they are accompanied by nasal obstruction, decreased sense of smell, or nasal discharge.
