Dr. Alen Cohen has personally pioneered a breakthrough procedure in the treatment of chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps and sinus headaches termed Minimally Invasive Image Guided Sinus Surgery (MIGSS)TM. He also routinely performs Balloon SinuplastyTM to treat select patients with acute-chronic sinusitis. Nonetheless, what stands out most about Dr. Cohen is his compassion and professionalism in the treatment of his patients. This quality is not only expressed by the multitude of patients he has treated for years but by the numerous physicians who refer him patients regularly and come to see him as patients themselves. Considered the top Los Angeles Sinus Surgeon serving the entire LA & Ventura County areas, Dr. Alen Cohen operates in premier surgical facilities in Los Angeles, Encino-Tarzana, & West Hills, CA.
Here at the SoCal Sinus Institute...... We treat patients with both acute and chronic sinusitis of various etiologies. For many patients the cause is severe allergies, however viral or bacterial upper respiratory infections, fungal pathology, nasal polyps, various toxic fumes, chronic smoking, autoimmune and/or other systemic conditions can be the culprit. Once the cause is identified then appropriate medical management can be instituted by Dr. Cohen. Many times patients are treated with specific oral or nebulized antibiotics, nasal steroid or antihistamine sprays, oral decongestants, nasal irrigations, oral steroids or various other targeted medical therapies. Nonetheless, if our patients have continued to suffer after exhausting medical management options either by their primary physicians, urgent cares or emergency rooms then the next step will be surgical management. At SoCal Sinus the surgical management options include both in-office and outpatient surgical options. First an in-office sinus CT scan will be performed as well as a targeted nasal endoscopy by Dr. Cohen in order to confirm which procedure you would most benefit from. The most common in-office procedure performed by Dr. Cohen is Balloon SinuplastyTM. This is a simple in-office procedure that usually takes 30 minutes under local anesthesia and patients return back to work the next day with little to no discomfort and no nasal packing. This is an excellent procedure for patients who do not suffer from a deviated septum or nasal polyps or complicated nasal disease. For slightly more complex patients, Dr. Cohen will offer a Minimally Invasive Image-Guided Sinus Surgery (MIGSSTM) which is an outpatient procedure done in a surgery center setting. With this procedure patients are also amazingly surprised as to how little discomfort and pain they are in postoperatively and the improvement in their quality of life ultimately. Dr. Alen Cohen, one of Los Angeles' most highly regarded nose and sinus surgeons, is an expert in the surgical management of acute and chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, sinus headaches, nasal obstruction and patients suffering from recurrent sinus infections. He is often sought after to teach other surgeons the intricacies and delicacies of these complicated procedures and also often gives lectures on this topic in various forums. Please call us to obtain the relief that you've been dreaming of for years.
