ENT and Allergy of New Orleans provides sinus, allergy, and ENT services to the Greater New Orleans area. The organization offers simple and minimally invasive solutions to treat sinus issues.

ENT and Allergy of New Orleans specializes in sinus, allergy, and ENT care. According to the company website, they offer the most cutting-edge medical and surgical care for all ear, nose, and throat conditions. Dr. Gregory Pippen, and Dr. Adil Fatakia are two of the primary care providers at ENT and Allergy of New Orleans. 

Dr. Gregory Pippin holds dual board certifications as an otolaryngologist and a facial plastic Surgeon. According to his bio page, he obtained his Bachelor of Science degree from Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama, and then pursued his medical education at Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans. Following this, he successfully completed a comprehensive residency program encompassing Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery, Facial Plastic Surgery, and Reconstructive Surgery at Virginia Commonwealth University's Medical College of Virginia in Richmond.

Dr. Adil Fatakia obtained his Bachelor of Science degree from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and subsequently returned to his hometown to pursue his medical degree at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, according to his bio page. Dr. Fatakia then completed a five-year residency program in head and neck surgery at Tulane University, followed by a fellowship in sinus and skull base surgery at the Sinus and Nasal Institute of Florida in St. Petersburg.

The practice has three locations serving Marrero, Chalemette, and Harvey, according to their website. One of the minimally invasive treatment options offered by the company is balloon sinuplasty.

Balloon sinuplasty is a safe procedure utilized by surgeons to address chronic sinusitis, according to Nuffield Health. During the process, doctors insert a guide wire equipped with a small balloon into the nostrils and navigate it to the area of blockage. The balloon is gently inflated enough to open the sinuses, and the recovery thereafter is quick.

ENT and Allergy of New Orleans offers a Sinus Self-Assessment Quiz that sinusitis sufferers can take to find out if they might benefit from a quick and easy treatment.
