When You Don't Know Exactly What is Causing Your Discomfort
Many symptoms overlap: a poorly treated nasal allergy can end up resembling chronic sinusitis; throat irritation can be caused by acid reflux rather than a bacterial infection; and daytime fatigue is often linked to sleep-disordered breathing.
The evaluation consultation serves to examine the picture as a whole. Instead of treating symptoms in isolation, Dr. Karla Sanz explores the ears, oral cavity, throat, and nasal function in a coordinated manner to identify the root cause and define the next step.
