Here are answers to some common questions about receiving ENT care with Dr. Ghadiali:
- What kind of conditions does an ENT specialist treat?
- Dr. Ghadiali, an otolaryngologist, is a medical doctor and surgeon who treats a wide range of conditions affecting the head and neck. He specializes in ear problems (infections, hearing loss, dizziness), nasal and sinus issues (allergies, sinusitis, breathing problems), and throat conditions (voice disorders, swallowing problems, tonsillitis). He also has expertise in thyroid surgery and head/neck tumors.
- Do I need a referral to see an ENT?
- Dr. Ghadiali's office accepts many insurance plans. While some, like HMOs, may require a referral from your primary care physician, others, like PPOs, do not. Please contact your insurance provider to confirm their referral policy before scheduling an appointment.
- I found a lump in my neck. What should I do?
- While many neck lumps are benign, like swollen lymph nodes from an infection, any persistent lump should be evaluated by a medical professional. Dr. Ghadiali is an expert in diagnosing head and neck masses and can perform a thorough examination, and if needed, an in-office biopsy to determine the cause.
- What is sleep apnea and how can an ENT help?
- Sleep apnea is a condition where the airway repeatedly collapses during sleep, causing pauses in breathing. Dr. Ghadiali, an ENT specialist, can examine the entire airway to identify areas of blockage and recommend treatments, including surgical options, that other sleep specialists may not offer.
- Is it normal for my voice to be hoarse for a long time?
- Hoarseness from a cold or overuse should improve within a couple of weeks. If hoarseness persists longer than 2-3 weeks, it's important to seek evaluation. Dr. Ghadiali can perform a laryngoscopy to identify the cause, which could range from acid reflux to vocal cord nodules.
- What is a hearing test (audiogram) like?
- Dr. Ghadiali will conduct a simple, painless hearing test in a soundproof booth. You'll wear headphones and indicate when you hear tones of different pitches and volumes. This helps him determine the type and degree of any hearing loss.
- What is the difference between dizziness and vertigo?
- Dizziness is a general feeling of lightheadedness or unsteadiness, while vertigo is a specific type of dizziness, often involving a spinning sensation. Dr. Ghadiali can perform tests to diagnose the cause of vertigo, which frequently originates in the inner ear.
- My child gets a lot of ear infections. Do they need ear tubes?
- Ear tubes, or tympanostomy tubes, are often recommended for children with recurrent ear infections or persistent fluid buildup in the ear that impacts hearing. The tiny tubes help ventilate the middle ear and prevent fluid buildup. Dr. Ghadiali can evaluate your child to see if they are a good candidate for this common and safe procedure.
