From sinusitis to hearing loss to a tonsillectomy, ear, nose, and throat problems are best handled by a specialist. In Anchorage, Alaska, your ENT needs will be best cared for at Aurora ENT. The providers at Aurora ENT - Dr. Mary Totten - is not a conveyor line doctor running people in and out as fast as possible. She believes that maintaining a schedule that allows ample time with each patient is key to positive, successful patient-doctor relationships. Aurora ENT provides every patient with all of the information they need about their diagnosis, treatment plan, recovery, and insurance coverage.
Dr. Mary Totten, MD, founded Aurora ENT to provide more compassionate and comprehensive care to her patients.
Aurora ENT aims to provide the best quality of care possible to every patient by offering services that set the practice apart from other providers, including:
Aurora ENT offers a non-surgical procedure for patients who suffer from repeat nasal polyps with SINUVA™ (mometasone furoate) Sinus Implant. SINUVA is proven to reduce polyps and nasal congestion and obstruction.
What is SINUVA?
SINUVA is a sinus implant that treats nasal polyps without surgery. During a routine office visit, Dr. Totten will use topical and/or local anesthesia to numb the patient's nose and sinuses. SINUVA is then placed in the sinus cavity through the nasal opening.
How SINUVA Works?
Its innovative design provides a 2-in-1 approach: it is designed to open in the sinus caivty and release anti-inflammatory medicine to treat nasal polyps for up to 90 days.
SINUVA benefits (At Day 90)
The most common adverse reactions observed in a clinical trial were bronchitis, upper respiratory or middle ear infection, headache, light-headedness, asthma and nose bleed. SINUVA is indicated for adults with nasal polyps who have had ethmoid sinus surgery.
