Nasal Polyps

What are Nasal Polyps?

In some cases, polyps grow into the nasal passage. They usually originate at the sinus openings. Polyps are like teardrop-shaped collections of inflammatory cells, fluid, and tissue. They are covered by a mucous membrane. They can grow in response to infection, allergy, locations of abnormal contact, or for unknown reasons. When polyps are widespread, it is usually from some underlying mucosal abnormality.

What Patients Are Saying

I have been dealing with extremely weird problems with my right ear for about two and a half months. After being ignored at my regular physicians office, I decided to see Dr. Schwartz ( Swartz) and I am so happy I did. The hearing test was thorough and I received the results immediately after which gave me relief. The assistant was so nice and made me feel like she was truly listening to me. I loved how she relayed everything to the doctor before he came in. Because of this, He gave me answers and set up a game plan immediately. I have never felt so taken care of! I truly felt important and heard. Thank you everyone in the office for being so amazing!

I recently had to find a new ENT after my employer changed my insurance. I have a complicated health history so it can be daunting to find a new provider that you trust. I was very pleased with Dr. Picerno – she was kind, patient and very thorough! I’m so happy to have found her! I also met with Amelia, an audiologist, and she was also awesome!

Dr Cosgriff was wonderful, very professional, knowledgeable and helped a lot. I was having problems with ear wax in my very small ear canals, and I went to a unrelated clinic first to get it removed. They only made it worse, and actually cut my ear canal, I couldn’t hear from the blocked wax, then suggested I go to an ENT. I was able to get a quick appointment with Dr Cosgriff, and with her special tools, and her expertise, she was able to fix my ears right away. What a difference! I found her office on yelp with all the positive reviews! Thank goodness!
