Patient Testimonial

Dr. Burke has been my family’s ENT for many years and they don’t come any better than her.

by J.L

She is extremely intelligent with one of the best bedside manners of any doctor I have ever met. I was relocated to Washington DC for a few years and would fly back for all ENT issues that came about, that’s how much we value her as our doctor. We truly love her as our doctor and respect all of her opinions.


Allergy

Allergies are the immune system’s abnormal response to a foreign substance around you.

  • Environmental Allergy
  • Immune Deficiency
  • Asthma Management
  • Hives and Eczema

Sinus

Your sinuses are hollow cavities that help found around the noses and eyes. Their walls are lined with mucus that helps filter and humidify our air. If this mucus does not drain properly, the sinuses can become blocked. This leads to problems such as sinus infections or other conditions.

  • Deviated Nasal Septum
  • Congestion (Nasal Blockage)
  • Nasal Drainage
  • Sinus Infections
  • Loss of Sense of Taste and Smell

Sleep

Sleep is an essential part of preparing yourself for the day ahead. We’ve all experienced the difficulties that a lousy night of sleep can cause. For those with sleep disorders, achieving a good night of sleep can be even more challenging and even require medical intervention to be achieved.
