NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 1997 -- New Yorkers fed up with the misery of sinusitis have a new place to turn -- the Sinus Center in Midtown Manhattan. Sinusitis, the nation's leading chronic disease, affects over 37 million Americans. Scott Gold, M.D., director of the Sinus Center, said "Many people don't even recognize the symptoms of sinusitis -- a thick nasal discharge, facial pain and headache, stuffiness and labored breathing. They just feel miserable for weeks and months." Established by ear, nose and throat specialists Dr. Gold and Robert L. Pincus, M.D., the Center draws on their years of experience in treating sinus disease, as well as their commitment to comprehensive care and state-of-the-art expertise and technology. "There has been a revolution in diagnosing and treating sinusitis," said Dr. Gold, who is also chief of otolaryngology at Beth Israel Medical Center, North Division. "Today, with nasal endoscopes and CT scans, we can pinpoint precisely the presence of sinus infections, and develop the medical regimen to treat it effectively." Medical management of sinusitis usually resolves the vast majority of cases, said Dr. Pincus, formerly vice chair of otolaryngology at New York Medical College. "When medical management fails," said Dr. Pincus, "surgery may be necessary." The group is pioneering powered nasal endoscopy for treatment of polyps and other nasal obstructions that cause sinusitis. The new outpatient procedure is faster and less invasive than the endoscopic sinus surgery which the Sinus Center pioneered five years ago. The Sinus Center is a program of New York Otolaryngology Group, P.C., and is located at 36A East 36th Street. The group is offering the public a free brochure which describes sinusitis and its treatment in detail.
