OUR PROCESS

I'm Dr. Atkins and I want to tell you what makes care at Atkins Expert Sinus Care different from other practices. 

I have always tried to look at my practice from a patient perspective. And with patients in mind I developed a simple 3 step process in order to find the cause of your problem and not just have you continually “trying” things to ease your symptoms. I’ve invested in technology so that everything you need in order to get a proper diagnosis is here in my clinic. Many people can be diagnosed and on the road to feeling better in one to two visits.

There are six main causes of sinus problems.

​

• Chronic sinus infection

• A deviated septum (crooked nose)

• Narrow sinus passages

• Allergies

• Immune problems

• Previous sinus surgery that didn't work (scarring, poorly performed)   

​

I take time to listen and address all possible causes of your problem. And if needed testing is simple and available in our office.  We can perform a nasal endoscopy to visualize the inside of your nose, obtain a low-dose, low-cost CT scan to look for structural problems or infection, and can test you for allergies. We look at the information from these tests to make the correct diagnosis and treat what really is causing the problem.

​

When considering which doctor is best for you, experience matters. I've performed more balloon sinus surgeries than any other physician in our area. I've also probably helped just as many without performing surgery.
