Balloon Sinuplasty
Chronic sinusitis is a very bothersome condition where the tissues lining the sinuses become inflamed. Sinusitis can have a severe impact on one’s life, causing pain and constant pressure to the face. Sinusitis can feel like a stuffy nose that never goes away, even causing you to lose the ability to smell. Sinusitis is not something to take lightly as it can keep you bedridden and give you congestion, as well as debilitating headaches.
Fortunately, there is a solution to this malady. We can perform a balloon sinuplasty that could be the answer to your chronic sinus problems. Dr. Lee Mandel’s vast experience and talented team can make this procedure a breeze without making any incisions, resulting in minimal discomfort and downtime.

Minimally Invasive Palatal Stiffening (MIPS)
If you have been diagnosed with OSA caused by an overextended uvula or a soft palate and have not received much relief using a CPAP machine, then you are in luck. Dr. Mandel has created an innovative procedure that can be custom-tailored just for you using breakthrough laser technology. This technique can treat breathing and snoring issues very effectively and diminishes any risk of post-op discomfort.
Our MIPS procedure takes as little as three minutes when performed as a stand-alone procedure or about fifteen minutes when combined with other nasal procedures. This technique will help minimize breathing vibrations that may cause blockages that lead to snoring.

Nasal Polyps
If you suffer from a runny nose, postnasal drip, a decrease in your sense of smell, or constant congestion, you may be suffering from nasal polyps. These are benign growths that appear in your nasal cavity, occupying crucial space and obstructing your airway.
Rhinitis, sinus infections, asthma, allergies, and even aspirin sensitivity can contribute to the emergence of nasal polyps. Other reasons can include fungal sinusitis, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, or genetic factors that predispose you to these common growths. Whatever the cause may be and whatever symptoms you have, we can help solve your Nasal Polyps problems and get you on the fast-track to breathing easier.

Allergy Testing/Immunotherapy
Living in South Florida comes with sunshine and great weather. Still, unfortunately, it also comes with a more extended allergy season due to the different allergen producing foliage peaks throughout the year. For those with allergies this can be a very trying time.
At South Florida Sinus and Allergy Center, we have developed innovative allergy testing and cutting-edge immunotherapy treatments that will help fight even the most severe cases of allergies.
Most allergy tests consist of 100 or more skin pricks. Our allergy tests, however, offer a more extensive analysis with fewer sticks. At South Florida Sinus and Allergy Center, you can enjoy less discomfort while receiving more accurate and extensive diagnoses.

Common causes include mold, pollen, dust mites, animal dander, latex, and allergies to certain types of food and medications.

Home Sleep Testing
Snoring is no fun; aside from disrupting your sleep as well as your partner’s sleep, it may be potentially starving your brain of oxygen. In adults, one of the most common reasons for snoring is known as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). In short, OSA occurs when the muscles in your throat over-relax, causing your airway to tighten and, in some cases, completely close. When this occurs, breathing becomes very difficult. Obstructive Sleep Apnea is not a condition to be taken lightly. It can lead to severe conditions, including heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, hypertension, and more.
The first step towards a successful treatment is performing a home sleep test. Unlike most available tests that are highly uncomfortable, we use a specialized home test kit to minimize discomfort and expedite results.
