Headaches
Sinusitis
Nasal polyps are benign growths that arise in the sinuses and nasal cavities. If they grow large enough, they can obstruct nasal breathing. One third of polyps are associated with allergy and one third with chronic sinusitis. The etiology for the remaining third is unknown.
Medical Weight Loss
Dysphagia is the medical term for trouble swallowing. Sufferers are sometimes unaware of their problem. Some signs and symptoms of dysphagia include difficulty starting a swallow, difficulty controlling food or saliva in the mouth, coughing, choking, unexplained weight loss, gurgly or wet voice after swallowing or the sensation that food is becoming stuck or held up before it passes into the stomach or is regurgitated. Untreated dysphagia may develop into aphagia in which one refuses to swallow.
Snoring
Advanced ENT & Allergy is the best sleep center in South Jersey. With multiple locations, we can help treat problem snoring and sleep apnea without you having to be far from home. Over 45% of normal adults snore at least occasionally, and 25% are habitual snorers. Problem snoring is more frequent in males and overweight individuals. Snoring may be an indication of obstructed breathing and should not be taken lightly. An Advanced ENT & Allergy otolaryngologist can help you to determine where the anatomic source of your snoring may be and offer solutions for this noisy and often embarrassing behavior.
Primary Care
We manage laryngopharyngeal reflux as it often causes throat symptoms, however patients should seek evaluation by their primary care physician if they are experiencing other symptoms of GERD, such as chest pain. Chest pain may indicate acid reflux, but this kind of pain or discomfort demands urgent medical attention. Possible heart conditions must always be excluded first.
Ear Infections
Ear infections occur when a cold, throat infection, or allergy attack causes fluid to become trapped in the middle ear. Mostly affecting children, symptoms may include earaches and thick, yellow fluid coming from the ears. Ear infections may be more common in children than in adults, but grown-ups are still susceptible to these infections. Unlike childhood ear infections, which are often minor and pass quickly, adult ear infections are frequently signs of a more serious health problem. Ear infections are often caused by bacterial infections. But whether you get an outer or middle ear infection depends on how you become infected.
Sleep Disorders
There are several advantages to using oral appliances over other sleep apnea treatment methods. They are easy to use, inexpensive and effective for treating many sleep disorders including snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea. They are easy to insert and remove and tend to have higher compliance rates than CPAP. Younger patients who must moderate sleep apnea, lower BMI and smaller neck sizes are most likely to see positive results from oral appliances.
Urinary Incontinence
Pneumonia
A common cause of dysphagia is spasm of the esophageal sphincters due to gastroesophageal reflux. Tumors and strictures of the esophagus can also cause swallowing problems. If dysphagia is severe enough, aspiration into the airway can occur causing aspiration pneumonia which can be life threatening.

Endoscopy
A complete evaluation of the upper and lower aerodigestive tract is necessary to properly diagnose the cause of dysphagia. This evaluation may include x-ray studies such as a barium swallow or endoscopy of both the upper and lower aerodigestive tracts.Â In some cases, evaluation of the esophagus can be done in the office using a new technique known as transnasal esophagoscopy (TNE). This procedure is done with topical anesthesia and requires no sedation.

Depression

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Thyroid
Thyroid Cancer
When certain conditions interfere with normal thyroid tissue, surgical removal of the thyroid gland can be performed. This is usually done when thyroid cancer has been detected, an otherwise benign thyroid nodule grows so large it causes problems or hyperthyroidism (a disorder in which excess thyroid hormone is produced) does not respond to treatment with medications or radioactive iodine.

MRI
Your physician can likely diagnose a sinus headache based on your symptoms and a physical exam, but sometimes a CT or MRI scan may be ordered.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Diagnosing asthma can be challenging, since most of the symptoms are found in other illnesses. Following a physical exam and a discussion of your childâ€™s symptoms and family medical history, his or her doctor will run diagnostic tests to check for asthma. These may include lung function tests using a peak flow meter or spirometer, allergy skin testing, x-rays, and CT scan. If your child is younger than three years old, a diagnosis may be delayed since asthma medications in very young children can lead to unknown side effects.
Chemotherapy
Most patients with AIED respond to the initial treatment of steroids, prednisone and methotrexate, a chemotherapy agent. Some patients may benefit from the use of hearing aids. If patients are unresponsive to drug therapy and hearing loss persists, a cochlear implant may be considered.
Radiation Therapy
Treatments are determined by the cause of the mass. Benign neck cysts and masses are usually removed by surgical excision. Head and neck cancers may be treated by some combination of radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery, depending on their nature.

Minimally Invasive Surgery
If you suffer from chronic sinusitis and have run out of options, you may be a candidate for balloon sinuplasty. This minimally invasive surgery is a safe and effective method of enlarging your sinus passages for easier breathing and a drastic reduction in sinusitis symptoms.
Ear Surgery
Those with damage to the ears resulting from an accident or injury (such as a burn, laceration or torn piercing) are often viable candidates for reconstructive ear surgery. The type of surgery, and its success, depend on the severity of the trauma and may range from a simple outpatient procedure to a total ear reconstruction that takes months. Your best bet is to seek immediate medical attention following any type of trauma to the ears.
Otolaryngology
At Advanced ENT & Allergy we have the trained staff, facilities and the equipment required to treat all areas of Pediatric ENT (Otolaryngology). We will work closely with the family, the pediatrician, and must importantly, our younger patients to get your child healthy and well.

Plastic Surgeons

Rhinoplasty
There are many other possible causes including Alzheimerâ€™s disease, brain tumor, aneurysm, diabetes, cocaine use, chemical exposure, malnutrition, hormonal imbalances, medications, Parkinsonâ€™s disease, rhinoplasty, radiation therapy and old age, among others.
Plastic Surgery
Two successful practices in southern New Jerseyâ€”Professional Otolaryngology Associates and Associates in Ear, Nose, Throat & Facial Plastic Surgeryâ€”merged to become ROHNA (Regional Otolaryngology Head and Neck Associates, LLC) in 2003. At that time, ROHNA was comprised of 13 board-certified physicians and continued to serve the surrounding communities by providing exceptional, comprehensive ear, nose and throat care.
Otoplasty
Reconstructive otoplasty can benefit people who suffer from microtia, a condition at birth that results in undeveloped ears. The condition can affect either one or both ears. Because the ears are underdeveloped, hearing loss is often associated with this condition. Reconstruction of the ear canals or surgically implanted hearing aids can drastically improve hearing.

Skin Cancer
Secondary cancers are tumors that have spread from primary tumors in other parts of the body to the head or neck. Most often, secondary tumors of the neck originate in the lung, breast, kidney or from skin cancers (squamous cell carcinoma or melanoma).
Cyst
Eczema
When water becomes trapped in the ear, bacteria can cause inflammation and infection of the ear canal. This painful affliction is known as swimmerâ€™s ear and can occur following exposure to any moist environment. It is most common in children and teenagers, individuals with eczema and anybody with excess earwax.
Lesions
Benign Vocal Cord Lesions. Prolonged hoarseness can occur when you use your voice too much, or too loudly for extended periods of time. These habits can lead to nodules, polyps, and cysts. Vocal nodules (singerâ€™s nodes) are callus-like growths of the vocal folds.
Psoriasis
Any cut in the skin of the ear canal can increase the risk, as will coming into contact with water that is polluted or contains excess bacteria. Despite the name, water exposure isnâ€™t the only method of contraction; anything that damages the protective film of the ear canal, such as cotton swabs, chemicals found in hairspray or hair dyes, can be a cause. Skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis and seborrhea may also contribute.
Burns

Allergies
To determine if you are a candidate for sinus surgery, your ENT doctor will thoroughly examine your ears, nose and throat, looking for obstructions and other abnormalities such as nasal polyps. This usually involves nasal endoscopy and a CT scan of the sinuses. Allergy testing is often part of the diagnosis as well. If medicines fail to provide long-lasting relief and allergy testing does not provide a treatment strategy, surgery will be considered.
