This data-driven approach allows us to design highly personalized treatment plans and match patients with the most effective therapies available. We also offer exclusive access to clinical trials, giving eligible patients the opportunity to try next-generation treatments not yet widely available. If nasal polyps are disrupting your life, our team is here to help you breathe easier—with less congestion, better sinus health, and long-term relief.
Nasal polyps are soft, non-cancerous growths that form in the lining of the sinuses and nasal passages due to chronic inflammation. Though painless, these growths can obstruct airflow and contribute to a range of frustrating symptoms, including nasal congestion, facial pressure, frequent sinus infections, and a reduced sense of smell or taste.
Individuals with nasal polyps often experience persistent postnasal drip, fatigue, and difficulty breathing through the nose. These symptoms are frequently tied to chronic rhinosinusitis and may be worsened by related conditions like asthma or NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease—a reaction to common pain relievers such as ibuprofen or aspirin.
Nasal polyp treatment has advanced dramatically in recent years. While surgery and steroids were once the main options, today’s therapies focus on long-term relief by targeting the root cause: chronic inflammation.
Traditional Treatments:
Today’s Breakthrough Option: Biologic therapies now offer a non-surgical, steroid-sparing approach. These monoclonal antibody treatments work by calming the overactive immune response responsible for polyp growth. They help:

Our current clinical trials for nasal polyps:
Evaluates the safety and effectiveness of a new nasal polyp medication. Includes a placebo group.
Monitors long-term results of a currently approved treatment. No placebo group.
Compares two FDA-approved therapies to determine which is more effective. No placebo group.
Biologic therapies for nasal polyps offer a non-surgical path to relief—with little to no downtime. Most patients begin noticing improved breathing, reduced congestion, and a better sense of smell within just a few weeks of starting treatment. Side effects are typically minimal, and consistency with prescribed nasal sprays or rinses can further enhance results.
For patients who undergo surgery, mild swelling and congestion are common during the initial recovery phase. Saline rinses, rest, and avoiding strenuous activity will help support healing. Your provider will guide you through every step and schedule follow-ups to monitor progress and adjust your care as needed.
The optimal treatment for nasal polyps varies based on symptom severity. Biologic therapies offer a non-surgical approach to reducing polyps and preventing their return. Nasal steroid sprays are effective for inflammation, and surgery becomes an option for more serious cases.
Experiencing persistent nasal congestion, sinus pressure, postnasal drip, and changes in sense of smell or taste may indicate the presence of nasal polyps. These symptoms, lasting for weeks or months, differ from those of a cold or allergies. Our team of specialists offers thorough diagnostic evaluations, including physical examinations and imaging tests, to accurately diagnose and treat nasal polyps.
