Dealing with Nose & Sinus Issues in the DC Area?

Expert Care is Here and Ready to Resolve Your Nose & Sinus Problems

The nasal cavity and the sinuses are structures which are separate but closely anatomically connected and related to each other.

Common conditions we treat include the following:

Nasal obstruction, or difficulty breathing through the nose
Recurring and chronic sinus infections
Nasal polyps and nasal tumors (both benign and malignant)
Epistaxis or nose bleeds
Headaches: some causes of facial headaches come from abnormal nasal anatomy and sinus infections
Post nasal drip: a constant sensation of mucous dripping into the back of the throat from the sinuses.
Seasonal allergic rhinitis: nasal congestion, sneezing and drainage from seasonal allergies. We do not perform allergy testing. However, we work closely with allergists if necessary.
Smell disorders: including decreased sense of smell or complete loss of smell

Common surgical treatments include the following:

Nasal septal reconstruction

A procedure to correct a deformed or crooked nasal septum in order to improve nasal breathing.

Turbinate reduction

A procedure to reduce enlarged or swollen nasal membranes called turbinates to improve nasal breathing. This is sometimes performed in the office under local anesthesia, called Radiofrequency reduction of the turbinates. A more definitive surgical reduction (SMR turbinates) can be performed under anesthesia, and is frequently done with other surgeries including a nasal septal reconstruction

Balloon Sinuplasty

An office-based procedure performed under local anesthesia intended to balloon open the sinus openings to decrease and eliminate sinus infections.

Dr. Winkler is an extremely talented and dedicated physician who listens carefully and considers the whole health history as he develops a treatment plan…He’s appropriately cautious and will demur on a procedure if there’s a safer alternative. However, if a procedure IS warranted, he has the talent to do it well.

My husband has been fighting a rare and deadly cancer that was found in his nose by Dr. Hao for over six years now. We both truly believe that if not for the professionalism and concern that has shown us over those years, that my husband would not be alive today. We cannot praise Dr. Hao enough.
