Services We Provide

We provide medical and surgical care within the entire field of Otolaryngology.  
We have highlighted a few of these areas below, but this does not represent the
full breadth of our practice.  If you have a problem that is not discussed below,
call us and we will be happy to discuss what we can do for you.
Audiology

Dr. Schnabel provides hearing tests for patients of all ages.  Additionally, she
can provide and properly fit hearing aids for adults.
Sinusitis

We provide medical and surgical treatment for patients of all ages with
sinusitis.  This includes everything from managing medical conditions such as
allergies that predispose people to sinusitis to advanced surgical procedures
to re-open blocked sinuses.
Hearing Loss

We can fully evaluate the nature of your hearing loss and provide medical,
rehabilitative, and surgical treatments depending on the cause.
Ear Infections

We can diagnose and determine the appropriate treatment for acute and
chronic ear infections of any type.
Nasal Obstruction

We identify the cause of your difficulty breathing through the nose and can
determine the best medical and/or surgical treatment to correct the problem.  
We also offer in-office somnoplasty
(more information) to reduce the size of
turbinates.
Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is surgery to either change the appearance of the nose for
cosmetic purposes or reconstruct the nose to open the breathing passages.  
We perform rhinoplasty for both purposes and often combine our techniques
to serve both causes.
Sleep Apnea and Snoring

We fully evaluate your airway to identify the location of obstruction.  We offer
both surgery and in-office procedures depending on the severity and nature of
the problem.  Some of our in-office procedures include uvulectomy, pillar
implants
(more information), and somnoplasty (more information).
Thyroid Surgery

We perform thyroid surgery for suspicious nodules, cancer, and enlarged
glands that are causing compression of the airway or esophagus.  We are
capable of managing the most advanced cases of thyroid cancer including
those that have spread to lymph nodes throughout the neck.  We frequently
utilize intraoperative monitoring of the recurrent laryngeal nerve.  This allows
you to have the peace of mind that we are doing everything to minimize your
risk of a weak vocal cord after the surgery.  We believe in a team approach
and work closely with endocrinologists to diagnose and manage your
disease.
Parathyroid Surgery

Parathyroid surgery is performed to correct high calcium levels that are due to
malfunctioning parathyroid glands.  We offer diagnosis and advanced
surgical techniques to cure your disease.  
Other Head & Neck Masses

We diagnose and manage masses, cysts, and tumors of all kinds found in
the head and neck regions.  This includes congenital cysts, salivary tumors
and stones, skin cancers, and much more...
Tonsil and Adenoid Diseases

We manage infections and obstructions related to the tonsils and adenoids.
Pediatric Airway Problems

We evaluate and manage any airway problems in children of all ages.  This
includes the aspiration of foreign bodies, congenital airway anomalies,
laryngomalacia, etc.
