If these symptoms sound familiar, you don’t have to keep living with them. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Cohen to get to the root of your sinus issues.

Traditional sinus surgery often means general anesthesia, a trip to the operating room, and weeks of recovery.

Balloon sinuplasty offers another path forward. It’s a minimally invasive, in-office treatment that relieves sinus pressure by gently expanding blocked pathways without cutting or removing tissue. Most patients are back to normal activity within 24-48 hours and start noticing results in just a few days.

If medication isn’t cutting it and you're dealing with sinus issues every few months, this procedure could be right for you. ✔️
