Sinus and ENT Treatment
My Houston Surgeons is the only private practice in Texas specializing in the medical and surgical treatment of sinus and nasal problems with two fellowship-certified sinus specialists. Dr. Arjuna Kuperan and Dr. Shawn Allen have each completed highly prestigious subspecialty advanced fellowship training in sinus, nasal, and skull base diseases. They are both board-certified and board-eligible by the American Board of Otolaryngology.
Our surgeons are leaders in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic sinusitis, nasal airway obstruction, smell and taste loss, nasal allergies, chronic nasal drip, nosebleeds, chronic eye tearing, cerebrospinal fluid leaks, and benign and malignant sinus and skull base tumors.
Many general ENT doctors advertise being “sinus specialists” but only My Houston Surgeons has the fellowship level sinus expertise you deserve. For sinus and nasal problems, trust your care to our expert Rhinologists.
Rhinology: Specialized Sinus Treatment
At My Houston Surgeons, our sinus experts specialize in Rhinology, which is the medical and surgical treatment of sinus and nasal disorders and encompasses a wide spectrum of problems including chronic sinusitis, nasal obstruction (deviated septum and/or inferior turbinate enlargement), anosmia and hyposmia, allergies, chronic nasal drip, epistaxis (nosebleeds), chronic epiphora (eye tearing), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, and benign and malignant sinus and skull base tumors.
You can trust your sinus issues to our specialists because they have the skill and experience to diagnose and successfully treat complex cases.
Extended Frontal Sinus Surgery in Houston
Extended frontal sinus surgery is an advanced endoscopic procedure designed to provide relief from chronic sinusitis and other severe sinus issues to patients who have undergone previous unsuccessful sinus surgeries. My Houston Surgeons has two board-certified and board-eligible otolaryngologists (ENT) with fellowship training in advanced endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery on the team who are highly experienced in extended frontal sinus surgery. Dr. Kuperan and Dr. Allen have a long track record of restoring a normal quality of life to patients with even the most challenging frontal sinus disease.
Revision Sinus Surgery
Revision sinus surgery may be needed if previous sinus surgery was unsuccessful in resolving a chronic sinus condition. Additionally, those with successful initial treatments may develop new conditions requiring further intervention. Revision sinus surgery in the hands of a fellowship-trained sinus expert is much more likely to succeed long-term.

What Distinguishes Us from Other “Sinus Specialists?”
At My Houston Surgeons, we believe that every medical problem requires a tailored approach to achieve the best outcome. Unfortunately, in many practices, a “one size fits all” approach is used to deal with patient illnesses. For example, the balloon sinus dilation procedure is an excellent minimally-invasive way to open an infected sinus in a patient with mild chronic sinus disease. However, this procedure is often done without considering the severity of sinus disease. Unfortunately many patients fail to improve or continue to have chronic sinus infections because they really needed endoscopic sinus surgery in the operating room.
Many general ENT doctors prefer to perform balloon sinus procedures because they lack the advanced training required to safely perform more complex sinus procedures. The balloon also saves them time. Our expertise and advanced fellowship sinus training will ensure that you get the perfect treatment–the first time. Our sinus specialists have the unique skills to perform the most minimally invasive balloon sinus dilation procedures ranging all the way up to the most advanced frontal sinus drill-out procedures (Lothrop). We offer the full spectrum of sinus, nasal, and skull base treatment so you know that when you see us we will tailor your treatment to your specific needs.
Trust your care to our fellowship trained sinus specialists, and you can rest assured they will advise you on the best treatment options because they have the knowledge, expertise, and skills to do whatever it takes to get you well again.

Demystifying Sinus Surgery
Part of what makes finding a true sinus expert challenging is that the work we do is hidden from view inside the nose. On the contrary, if a plastic surgeon did a poor facelift, the results would be obvious and future patients would go elsewhere. Unfortunately, sinus specialists do not benefit from this transparency. Many patients undergo substandard sinus surgery, get complications, or even have persistent disease and the patients are unaware of this because it is all hidden out of sight.
At My Houston Surgeons, we will show you the endoscopic views of your nasal cavity and sinuses through the nostril openings so there is no more mystery about your treatment. If you think you may have persistent problems or complications after previous endoscopic sinus surgery, nasal airway surgery, or balloon sinuplasty let our expert sinus specialists evaluate the surgery that was done and assess its adequacy. Our focused subspecialty practice allows us to provide the highest level of sinus and nasal care that other doctors lack.
