What happens when I seek ENT services?

Your ENT appointment begins with a review of your medical history and a discussion of your current symptoms and concerns. Then Dr. Zadeh completes a thorough physical exam and determines if you need additional diagnostic imaging or testing.

These are a few examples of diagnostic tests:

Allergy testing

Dr. Zadeh often does a skin prick test to identify allergens, but you may need a patch test or blood test.

Sinus CT imaging

Dr. Zadeh performs in-office CT scans, creating a three-dimensional X-ray image that allows him to accurately diagnose nasal and sinus problems.

Nasal endoscopy

By guiding an endoscope through your nose, Dr. Zadeh can visually examine the tissues and diagnose and treat problems.
