Services
Balloon Sinuplasty
Balloon Sinuplasty is a minimally invasive procedure for chronic sinusitis relief. Using a small balloon catheter, our specialists gently open blocked sinus passages, restoring drainage and reducing inflammation. This office-based treatment offers immediate symptom improvement with minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to normal activities within 1-2 days. Our team's expertise in this technique provides lasting relief from facial pressure, nasal congestion, and recurrent sinus infections.
Allergy Testing
Our comprehensive allergy testing identifies triggers for nasal congestion, skin reactions, and respiratory symptoms. Using skin prick tests and blood analysis, we diagnose inhalant, food, and environmental allergies. Custom treatment plans include immunotherapy, medication management, and lifestyle adjustments to reduce symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Our board-certified specialists help patients of all ages manage allergic responses effectively.
Pediatric ENT
Specialized care for children's ear, nose, and throat conditions including recurrent ear infections, tonsillitis, and sleep apnea. Our providers perform tonsillectomies, adenoidectomies, and ear tube placements with family-centered care. We address developmental concerns like speech delays and chronic nasal obstruction while ensuring comfort for young patients through gentle diagnostic techniques and age-appropriate treatment approaches.
Hearing Disorders
Diagnosis and treatment of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss in adults and children. Our audiology program offers comprehensive hearing tests, ear wax removal, and management of chronic ear infections. We provide medical and surgical solutions for conditions causing muffled hearing, tinnitus, and balance issues, including tympanoplasty and hearing aid fittings to improve quality of life for patients with hearing impairment.
Sleep Apnea
Custom sleep apnea management for obstructive and central sleep-disordered breathing. Our evaluation includes physical exams and sleep studies to determine causes of snoring and breathing interruptions. Treatment options range from CPAP therapy to surgical interventions like uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. We specialize in addressing both adult and pediatric sleep apnea through personalized plans that improve sleep quality and reduce daytime fatigue.

Would give 0 stars! Was just a waste of our time. Scheduled an appointment on the website to the Voorhies Ave office but it scheduled us to the other office location. When I called the Voorhies Ave office to make sure that the appointment went through to the Voorhies Ave office the receptionist made me look stupid telling me that I made the appointment to the other office instead of the Voorhies Ave when I specifically selected the Voorhies Ave office!
I called the Voorhies Ave office on 3 different days to make sure that they accept the insurance and even filled out all the insurance information when I scheduled the appointment online just to come to the office on the day of my appointment for them to tell me that they do not accept my insurance after I filled out all the paperwork. Now I see why they had so many appointments available, the doctors may be good, we wouldn't know! But the people working in the office do not know how to do their job!

Do NOT go to this doctor. I had nasal congestion for several months. I arrived early, and was told to "take a walk around the block." I did, and was eventually seen. The doctor never made a single appearance. A team of young assistants took me from room to room doing tests I hadn't asked for (hearing, etc.) before telling me I had a deviated septum, adenoids, and a gland problem. I had a camera put up my nose without any sprayed anesthesia - and I later learned that using anesthesia is common practice.
The tests brought one visit's copay to $50. I was given antibiotics and told not to take them - they were prescribed "only for insurance purposes." Before subjecting myself to the months of allergy tests, CAT scans, and surgery the assistants had recommended, I sought a second opinion. I do not have a deviated septum, or adenoids. I have an allergy, most likely from dust. Never, ever go to this doctor's office.

The first impression was disturbing because there is an enormous amount of garbage with a really fowl smell in front of the door inside the building. I almost turned around and left. However, the staff and doctor were terrific and very thorough.

Worst Dr ever they just want to make money. Dr kantu forced me to do operation my nose, he was saying to me I will die where I'm sleeping. After my operation I'm not filling good, now I have headaches dryness throat, nose, mouth, I'm breathing a lot of air now, I have panic attacks because I can't control the air when lm breathing. Take second opinion from another Dr. if they said you need operation. I want to put 0 stars.

Had mistakenly thought I had an appointment for the day I went but did not. The young lady squeezed me in since I was already there. Everything was explained as we were going along and the appointment moved along really well. No problem setting up a follow up.

We had the pleasure of meeting one of the doctors and she took good care of my son. I also thought the office was immaculate. They took him in and it was a quick and easy appointment.
