NOSE AND SINUS SPECIALISTS

Nose and sinus disorders afflict millions of people, causing pain, fatigue, headache, breathing difficulties and loss of smell, among other symptoms. In fact, sinusitis alone affects about 37 million people at least once each year, making it one of the most common illnesses in the United States.

TESTING

CT Scan

A computed tomography (CT) scan of your sinuses also may be recommended, along with a culture of any fluids draining from the nose. Blood tests may be ordered depending on your other medical conditions.

Nasal Endoscopy

In this procedure, a narrow tube fitted with a tiny camera (called an endoscope) is passed through both nostrils. For comfort, your nostrils will be treated with a topical anesthetic. The endoscope will help identify any swelling or blockage. Tissue samples will be taken of any abnormal growths.

Non Invasive Evaluations

Our professionals will run a number of non-invasive physical tests to determine the cause and relative treatment option for your unique condition.

Sinusitis

Have you ever had a cold or allergy attack that wouldn’t go away? If so, there’s a good chance you actually had sinusitis. Experts estimate that 37 million people are afflicted with sinusitis each year, making it one of the most common health conditions in America. That number may be significantly higher, since the symptoms of bacterial sinusitis often mimic those of colds or allergies, and many sufferers never see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Stuffy Nose

Nasal congestion, stuffiness, or obstruction to nasal breathing is one of man’s oldest and most common complaints. While it may be a mere nuisance to some persons, to others it is a source of considerable discomfort, and it detracts from the quality of their lives.  Nasal obstructions is classified into four categories, recognizing that overlap exists between these categories.

  • Structural
  • Infectious
  • Allergic Rhinitis
  • Chronic Rhinitis
Nosebleeds

The nose is an area of the body that contains many tiny blood vessels or arterioles that can break easily. In the United States, one of every seven people will develop a nosebleed some time in their lifetime. Nosebleeds can occur at any age but are most common in children aged 2-10 years and adults aged 50-80 years. Nosebleeds are divided into two types, depending on whether the bleeding is coming from the front or back of the nose.

Patient Testimonials

"Had a great experience with everyone from the secretary to the doctors to my stay for the sleep study. The office is fast and extremely helpful. And now I am able to sleep easy. And I learned so much about my problem. No other doctor has ever took the time to explain why I need what I need. And I had one of the best nights sleeps at their health spa. Now I can finally enjoy the same sleep at home. Thank you."
I was in [extreme] pain in my left ear on Friday. The receptionist said she would call me back to see if she had an opening. She called me back in less then 30 minutes and by the way was the sweetest woman, told me to come at 10:30! Dr. Carabin knows her stuff she got me fixed up in no time and I am looking forward to my follow up appointment! Also they didn't take the insurance I had and it was cheaper then the other ENT who took my insurance😳Weird! Super grateful👂👍🏼
This place is great as is the staff, physicians assistants and doctor. Not sure what the other two reviewers are talking about Island ENT is great.
Dr. Carabin is a Dr. that goes above and beyond for the welfare of her patients! I have been seeing her for about 5 years now and if there is something that she is not equipped to handle she will find someone for you that can. Then she will double check to make sure you are taken care of. Her staff is wonderful. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
I should have posted this year's ago. Dr. Carabin and her staff saved my live. I don't say this lightly as a Disabled Vet. I stopped breathing 187 times during the test. I have only been without it 2 times. That was because I was traveling and forgot the power cord.
Since I was a kid, I've had plenty of problems with my ear and because of that, I met tons of doctors, good ones and bad ones! [...] One of my Doctors: Dr. Ioana Carabin, MD,PA. She treated me over the years, and I can say with confidence, I am now trusting her 100%. She is an extremely good doctor and specialist! I can only say good things about her and her team. She is so responsible, caring, dedicated, and her knowledge goes beyond! [...]
