Our Sinusoft Pathway takes your from Congestion to Clarity. Answering the Big 10 Questions, and you will know better how we do this so effectively. This serves as the introduction to the Big 10. 194/5000 Thumbnail
Introducing the BIG 10 QUESTIONS
We have created our SINUS TREATMENT SPECTRUM. This process permits the patient to select the treatment best for them. With this process, patents undertake their ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS in clinic with one of our ENT physicians. They learn to read sinus CT scans then they undergo their own CT scan. We read this scan multiple times, using arrows and measurement technology to provide an objective review of your sinus CT scan. Then we discuss what we can and cannot accomplish with our treatments, the 4 different treatment strategies, and discuss which treatment the patient prefers pursuing. We are detailed with next steps providing our ROAD MAP custom tailored to each patient's needs.
What's the Best Sinus Treatment Strategy for You?
We have the Sinusoft ROAD MAP. We also have a SINUSOFT CONCIERGE who will coordinate things for you. Change your mind about your treatment strategy? No worries, she will change your ROAD MAP accordingly. We intend to get you all the answers to your questions, cost estimates that are actually very accurate and well-explained, and EFFICIENCY. Patients who desire additional appointments, we have those opportunities. Patients who want to move decisively towards results, we are very good at delivering results. Our ROAD MAP provides 3 ways you can learn more, answering your questions, so you can pick the correct treatment for you!
Question 2: How do you deliver care EFFICIENTLY?
We are your medical insurance CHAMPION. We will fight for you. Interestingly enough we ALSO have great respect for our strategic partnerships with medical insurance. We aspire to interact with them in the most professional way possible. All of us are aligned in the desire to keep cost done, to offer a world class service, and to help you get better ECONOMICALLY. For these reasons, we enjoy strong relationships with our insurance partners. YES: The insurance companies LOVE the Sinusoft Procedure because it is 1/3 the cost of sinus surgery yet enjoys a superior success rate. HOWEVER: The insurance companies also FEAR the Sinusoft Procedure. They know with sinus surgery, there are several natural barriers that prevent the average patient from pursuing sinus surgery. The Sinusoft Procedure has eliminated these barriers. Which barriers are we referring to? The following: The Sinusoft Procedure: No narcotics never! We are that delicate. Recovery in DAYS not WEEKS. Less cutting means easier healing. No operating room. Skip the cutting, skip general anesthesia, skip the risk, skip the cost. No packing. Less cutting means less bleeding. Less antibiotics. We fix the ROOT CAUSE so your sinuses will breathe High success rate. Sinus surgery results are a coin flip: 50-50. Not with the Sinusoft Procedure. We enjoy a dramatic improvement over that. So, insurance companies are worried, that anyone with sinus problems will sign up. They want to control cost. They want to avoid "over-utilization" of medical care. We don't believe them. They have created a few hoops to jump through. Nothing unreasonable. We will make sure that all the necessary care is undertaken BEFORE we perform the Sinusoft Procedure. We will AUTHORIZE the procedure with your insurance and get you an accurate estimate. We are here for you!
Is Sinusoft Covered by Insurance? The Real Cost
We start with our world class TEAM. You will feel the quality from the moment we pick you up from your car with our WARM WELCOME PICK-UP, until the moment we tuck you back into your car for your HAPPY NAP, we have a WONDERFUL TEAM. We support our team with the latest technology. Every piece of equipment is the latest (some of which we helped develop). We undertake your care in a beautiful clinic DESIGNED FOR in-office procedures. We are proud to use our proven processes. We developed and refined these processes over 3000 in-office procedures. Others are still trying to figure things out, we are just delivering a great experience. All this adds up to a world class Sinusoft Procedure, light-years ahead of dated sinus surgery. Here are a few facts to make this point: The NO's: NO NARCOTICS NO INJECTIONS OF LOCAL NO NEEDLES, NO IVS NO PACKING NO SCALPELS NO NPO (others make you go without eating) NO WAY! Way baby, way... The YES's: TEXT access to your ENT physician. SOFTWARE that reaches out and talks to you, coaching you through the recovery. MOD-TECH assistants = not just your average nurse, they know their stuff. NAVIGATION TECHNOLOGY = available for every procedure. We have 11 systems in 9 procedure rooms in 3 metropolitan areas. A CAUTERY MACHINE IN EACH CLINIC = that we have never used. Because we have MUCH LESS bleeding. THE ABILITY TO TREAT from 12 years old to over 100. Medically fragile patients experience less risks with a procedure in the clinic, than with a surgery using anesthesia. CONFIDENT SPECIALISTS = we do 10 - 40 procedures EVERY WEEK.
What Makes the Sinusoft Procedure Experience Great?
How long has the Sinusoft Procedure been around? The Modern Nose Clinic recognized that we needed a procedure that could accomplish EVERYTHING we do in the operating room, more delicately, in the clinic. At the time, we did not realize that doing so would create a FAR MORE DELICATE patient experience. We began seeing patients recover more quickly and painlessly. Using a balloon to dilate the opening of a sinus (balloon dilation sinuplasty) has been FDA approved for over a decade. The Sinusoft Procedure takes that as one small element in the overall clinical experience. So for years, physicians have: Used balloons to dilate sinuses. Performed endoscopic septoplasties. Removed lesions like polyps. But never have they done all of that in the clinic with: No narcotics. No needles. No packing. No anesthesiologists. No IV No npo (not be able to eat) We developed this procedure over 7 years ago and have performed over 3000 since that time. Are we proud? Yes, yes we are! Only available at the Modern Nose Clinic
How Long Has Sinusoft Been Around? Watch and Find Out
The Sinusoft Procedure is better than sinus surgery in every way. Less cutting. No need for narcotics. Great results. Less bleeding. Easier recovery. Efficiently delivered care. Less expensive. We are proud to offer our patients the Sinusoft Procedure. Only available at the Modern Nose Clinic.
Sinusoft vs Sinus Surgery: See the Difference
Every ENT doctor who comes to visit our clinic system has this question = HOW DO YOU DO IT? How can you fix a deviated septum with: No narcotics. No needles. No packing. No nasal splints. No injections. No anesthesiologists. No bleeding. And... how do you deliver a BETTER septoplasty result in the clinic than typically delivered in the operating room by others? We have the Sinusoft Procedure. We have the experience with over 3000 procedures in the last 7 years. We have the technology with everything a physician might ever hope to have in the OR, in our clinic procedure rooms. We have our MODTECH staff, trained beyond the standard training for nurses. We have a TEAM of professionals at every level of the organization. Oh yeah, and we are the ones who developed the procedure and refined it in the first place. Listen to Dr. Douglas Skarada tell you more here. Only available at the Modern Nose Clinic.
Can Sinusoft Fix a Deviated Septum? Watch This
Medicine is broken, there is no doubting that. We started the Modern Nose Clinic as an "idea factory." The goal is big and audacious: FIXING MEDICINE ONE IDEA AT A TIME. We started with efforts to create a different clinical experience. We aspire to deliver a WORLD CLASS PATIENT EXPERIENCE. Our appointments begin from the comfort of your home. When you arrive, we already know you from our PRE-CONSULT INSIGHT software. How strange for a provider to walk into the room already knowing your story. (How refreshing) We deliver your care EFFICIENTLY. We measure your results. We are not afraid to look carefully when our patients are not yet perfect. We will offer additional treatment so we can "get you as close to perfect as humanly possible." We undertake our ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS, so we can do "more knowing and less guessing." Once we know what each patient is up against, we create a custom treatment plan perfect for you. We MEASURE your progress with our severity tracker software. Ultimately, we want to see your number approach zero. "What is measured, improves." With our process-driven approach, we believe we deliver better outcomes, at a lesser cost, more efficiently than anywhere else. Hear it from Dr. Doug, our medical director. Wishing you ALL THE BEST from TEAM Modern Nose Clinic!
