At our Long Beach practice, Dr. Dennis Clark provides comprehensive care for a wide range of allergy and sinus conditions. We regularly treat patients suffering from seasonal allergies (hay fever), environmental allergies, chronic sinusitis, acute sinus infections, nasal polyps, allergic rhinitis, post-nasal drip, and chronic nasal congestion. Each condition receives personalized attention and a tailored treatment approach based on your specific symptoms and triggers.
If you're experiencing persistent congestion lasting more than two weeks, frequent sinus headaches or facial pressure, or chronic sneezing and runny nose, it's time to schedule an appointment. Other concerning symptoms include difficulty breathing through your nose, reduced sense of smell or taste, and recurring sinus infections. When symptoms begin to interfere with your daily activities or your allergies don't respond to over-the-counter medications, Dr. Clark can help provide relief through targeted treatment.
Dr. Clark employs a comprehensive approach to diagnosis, beginning with a thorough medical history review and physical examination of your nasal passages and sinuses. When appropriate, he may recommend allergy skin testing, nasal endoscopy, or blood tests for specific allergens. In some cases, imaging studies might be necessary if structural issues are suspected. This thorough diagnostic process helps identify the root cause of your symptoms and guides the development of an effective treatment plan.
Our practice offers a comprehensive range of treatment options tailored to your specific condition and needs. We utilize prescription allergy medications, immunotherapy (allergy shots), specialized nasal sprays and rinses, and targeted decongestants. Dr. Clark also provides anti-inflammatory treatments and guidance on lifestyle modifications that can significantly improve your symptoms. When necessary, we can coordinate with surgical specialists to ensure you receive the most appropriate care for your condition.
Dr. Clark believes in a multi-faceted approach to long-term allergy management. This begins with identifying and avoiding specific triggers while developing personalized treatment plans that evolve with your needs. Through regular monitoring and adjustment of medications, combined with preventive care strategies and patient education about environmental controls, we help you manage your condition effectively. Dr. Clark also provides seasonal preparation guidance and recommends lifestyle modifications that can significantly reduce your symptoms over time.
Your initial consultation includes a detailed review of your symptoms and medical history, followed by a discussion of your lifestyle and environmental factors that may contribute to your condition. Dr. Clark performs a comprehensive physical examination and develops an initial treatment plan based on his findings. You'll receive education about your specific condition and clear answers to all your questions and concerns. Before you leave, we'll establish a schedule for follow-up care if needed and provide written instructions for home care.
