Sinus infections can be stubborn and sometimes, they won’t clear up on their own. 👃 If you’ve been dealing with sinus pressure that lasts more than 10 days, notice pain or swelling around your face, or have lost your sense of smell, it may be time to get checked.

As an ENT specialist, I use advanced diagnostic tools to assess what’s really going on and create a personalized treatment plan to help you breathe, and feel, better.

If you’re in the G.T.A and think you might need expert care for your sinuses, you can request an appointment with me through your family physician or a nurse practitioner. Let’s get you feeling like yourself again. 💛

As the weather gets colder, I see a noticeable rise in congestion, runny noses, and nighttime coughing in children. Their nasal passages are smaller and more sensitive, which means dry fall air can irritate them much faster than it does adults.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One simple tool I often recommend is a cool-mist humidifier in your child’s bedroom. Adding moisture back into the air helps soothe irritated nasal passages, reduce dryness, and improve breathing overnight. It can also support better sleep—both for your child and for you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your little one is experiencing ongoing congestion, mouth breathing, snoring, or frequent colds this season, it may be a sign that their nasal or sinus health needs a closer look. I’m always here to help you navigate what’s normal, what’s not, and how to keep your child’s ENT health on track as we move into the colder months.

To see me at my North York / Vaughan area clinic, please request a referral with your family doctor, paediatrician, or a nurse practitioner.

As an ENT specialist, I often remind patients that snoring isn’t always “just snoring.” It’s your body’s way of saying that something in your airway may be obstructed, whether from nasal congestion, allergies, enlarged tonsils, or even sleep apnea.

When air can’t move freely through your nose or throat during sleep, the tissues vibrate and that vibration results in the snoring sound. Over time, this can disrupt sleep quality, affect oxygen levels, and even contribute to daytime fatigue or cardiovascular strain.

If you or someone you love snores regularly - especially if it’s accompanied by pauses in breathing, gasping, or daytime sleepiness - it’s worth getting checked.
Healthy sleep starts with healthy airways.

Ear fullness is one of the most common symptoms patients describe in my clinic, and it can be surprisingly complex.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
That “plugged” or “pressure” sensation doesn’t always mean infection. It’s often related to how the Eustachian tube - the small passage that connects your middle ear to your nose and throat - regulates pressure. When that tube doesn’t open properly due to allergies, sinus inflammation, altitude changes, or congestion, it can create a feeling of fullness or muffled hearing.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
In other cases, the cause might be wax buildup, fluid behind the eardrum, or even jaw tension. Understanding why it’s happening is key to finding lasting relief.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you experience frequent or persistent ear fullness, don’t ignore it, especially if it’s accompanied by hearing changes, pain, or dizziness. A proper examination can help identify the underlying cause and guide treatment options.​​​​​​​​

If you're in the GTA and would like to see me, please request a referral thought your family physician or nurse practitioner.

Every consultation begins with three simple, but essential, questions I ask all of my patients.

These questions help me understand your symptoms, your daily life, and your goal, because ENT care isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re dealing with chronic sinus issues, dizziness, hearing changes, or throat discomfort, your answers help shape a treatment plan that fits your life, not just your chart.

Here are the 3 questions I always ask:
1️⃣ How long have you been experiencing your symptoms and have they changed over time?
2️⃣ How do these symptoms affect your daily routine, work, or sleep?
3️⃣ What outcome would make you feel like your quality of life has improved?

They may sound simple, but these questions tell me more than any scan ever could. Because behind every diagnosis is a person and listening is the first step toward healing.

If you would like to see me at my North York / Vaughan area clinic, please request a referral with me through your family physician or a nurse practitioner.

Medicine demands precision, but it also requires perspective.

I value evidence-based practice, the science behind every decision, and patients who respect their appointment times. But I’ve also learned to appreciate the small things that keep the balance - a strong cup of coffee, a new outfit after a long week, or even a few minutes of mindless TV to switch off.

Behind every case, there’s a person. And maintaining that balance between discipline and humanity is what sustains good medicine.

If you’re experiencing ongoing ENT concerns - from sinus and ear issues to voice or throat problems - my North York / Vaughan area clinic is here to help. Thoughtful, evidence-based care, tailored to you. Request a referral with your family physician or nurse practitioner.

Many of you know me as an ENT specialist, but I’m also a proud surgeon. Surgery is a meaningful part of what I do, and for many patients, it’s the step that helps restore comfort, function, and confidence in their daily lives.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of the common procedures I perform include:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔹 Septoplasty — to correct a deviated septum and improve breathing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔹 Endoscopic sinus surgery — for chronic sinus infections that don’t respond to medication.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔹 Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy — to relieve persistent throat infections or sleep apnea symptoms.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔹 Ear tube placement — for children and adults with recurring ear infections or fluid buildup.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each of these procedures is designed to improve quality of life, not just treat symptoms, helping patients breathe, sleep, and live better.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether through medical management or surgery, my goal is always the same: to find the right solution for each individual’s ENT health. If you’d like to see me at my North York / Vaughan area clinic, please request a referral through your family physician or nurse practitioner.

✈️ Cooler weather can trigger ear and sinus pressure, especially when you fly.

As temperatures drop, the air inside airplanes and outdoors becomes drier and denser, which can make pressure changes more noticeable. For those with sinus congestion, allergies, or a recent cold, that discomfort can be even stronger.

Before you travel this season, here are a few ways to keep your ears and sinuses happy:

🔹 Use a saline spray before and after your flight to keep nasal passages clear.

🔹 Stay hydrated as dehydration worsens sinus pressure.

🔹 Chew gum or swallow during takeoff and landing to help equalize ear pressure.

🔹 If you’re feeling congested, consider seeing your physician or ENT before your flight.

As an ENT, I often see patients who experience ear pain or temporary hearing changes after flying. Most cases are mild, but they can be prevented with a bit of preparation. If you’d like to see me, too, please request a referral through your family doctor or nurse practitioner.

Safe (and comfortable) travels this fall.
