Sinusitis
The Sinuses are air filled cavities inside the bones of the face and forehead and lined with mucous membrane, which constantly produces liquid that drain into the nasal cavity. Any causes of obstructions of such drainage can produce infections in those cavities. Symptoms may include fever, pressure and pain, heavy nasal, post nasal discharge, headaches, and fatigue syndrome. CT scans are helpful and medical regiments are initiated. Successful functional endsoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is the gold standard for treating chronic sinusitis. Modern miniature instruments are inserted inside the nose under fiber optic magnifications on a TV screen. This procedure can be done safely with fewer invasions and under general anesthesia as an outpatient. The result is to open the ostia to facilitate the cilia of the sinus membrane to flow out thru the nasal cavity.

Medical Weight Loss
Miscellaneous Hoarseness, difficulty in swallowing, sudden weight loss, may require throat examination with mirrors or small nasal scopes. They can be done in an office setting. When more details and biopsies are needed, outpatient procedures can be arranged.
Snoring
Snoring and Sleep Apnea. Snoring is a problem for many which can be a social nuisance. It can be associated with sleep apnea with significant implications such as waking up tired, or headache, feeling sleepy, and falling asleep at work or while driving, short temper, or diminished attention. Severe sleep apnea may associate with health problems including high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke. A detailed history and upper airway examination is important and many diagnostic techniques including multiple sensors, a sleep at home sensor, and in a sleep lab to verify the severity. Many treatment modalities like nonsurgical and air pressure devices (CPAP and BPAP) or surgical outpatient procedures in selected patients are very helpful.
Ear Infections
Middle ear infections cause earaches; pressure and hearing loss which are frequently experienced by children and in some adults are due to Eustachian tube blockage, nasal allergies, enlarged adenoids, and nasal obstruction. In children, hearing loss may affect their ability to learn and speak if not treated. Ear infections may cause eardrum perforations, chronic drainage with foul discharge, and may signify the forming of an infected cyst cholesteatoma, which can destroy middle ear hearing bones known as ossicles, and expand to the inner ear mastoid and into the head.

Endocrinologist

Thyroid
Just imagine for a moment what goes on in your throat. You breathe air in and out of your throat 24 hours per day. Food and drink goes in several times a day. This is the place where communication begins with words, speech, singing, yelling etc. So, when someone has tonsillitis, sore throat, acid reflux, thyroid disease, sleep apnea, snoring or a tonsillectomy, it can be a major problem. Fortunately Dr. Kitt and his staff are prepared to help the many Bakersfield patients who need medical treatment of the throat. If you have any questions, please give us a call at our Bakersfield ENT Clinic.

MRI
Whether you have tinnitus, hearing loss or just need some ear wax removed, we can help you get relief at our Bakersfield Ear Nose and Throat Clinic. Many conditions can be examined with an otoscope or microscope, hearing test (audiogram), middle ear pressure measurement, special CT Scans, or MRI. Generally most treatments can be provided in the office; however some may require surgery which can be done in the hospital. Read more about..... tinnitus, hearing loss, ear wax removal and others

Dr. Victor Kitt completed his residency training from the University of Chicago. He was then certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose & Throat). After practicing in Chicago for a few years he received a fellowship in Advanced Head & Neck Cancer treatment at the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinic and completed that program in 1984. At that time he decided to move his practice to Bakersfield, California.
