San Antonio, Texas–Conditions of the upper respiratory system can cause pain and misery when the appropriate treatment is not found and applied. The first step towards relief is in obtaining a proper diagnosis. Irritation and inflammation of the ear, nose and throat often begin with a cold, flu, or allergies. Although the symptoms normally subside in most people, they may persist, reoccur, and/or grow worse in others. Problems in one of these areas can also lead to more problems in other areas as the problem spreads to other areas of the respiratory system. Any time that symptoms become too difficult to manage, the condition should be diagnosed by an ear, nose, and throat specialist (ENT).

Dr. Sertich is uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions related to the upper respiratory system. As a specialist in San Antonio ear, nose, and throat conditions, he has kept up-to-date on modern procedures to benefit his patients. Balloon Sinuplasty is a modern procedure used to treat chronic sinusitis that Dr. Sertich has performed more than any other physician in the country. The advantages of this procedure over traditional treatment methods are that it is less invasive and causes minimal bleeding. The patient also experiences low pain following the procedure and can return to normal activities soon after. This procedure also has a very high success rate and is effective long term.

Due to his training and experience as a surgeon, Dr. Sertich is also highly qualified to perform a number of surgical procedures used to treat conditions of the ear, nose, and throat. These include repair for a deviated septum, removal of nasal polyps, tonsillectomies, and pillar insert surgery for sleep apnea. Any condition of the upper respiratory system that produces severe and continuing symptoms that interfere with the patient’s quality of life should be evaluated by the San Antonio ear, nose, and throat specialist. In many cases, the symptoms can either be greatly minimized or eliminated altogether.
