North County Appointment Planning
Planning Nasal Endoscopy at Our Solana Beach Clinic
Nasal endoscopy in Solana Beach is a focused office examination for a defined nasal question, such as persistent obstruction, drainage, smell loss, bleeding, or suspected polyps. A thin rigid or flexible scope can show the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, and accessible drainage areas, but it does not visualize every sinus and does not automatically replace CT imaging.
Bring prior endoscopy, sinus CT, operative reports, and the history of nasal sprays, rinses, blood thinners, bleeding disorders, medication reactions, surgery, or trauma to Stevens Avenue. Ask whether an endoscopy is actually scheduled or the first visit is consultation only. A clinician may use topical decongestant or anesthetic and can explain visible findings; further imaging or ENT coordination may still be needed.
What to bring to the appointment
- sinus imaging or prior endoscopy and operative reports
- a list of blood thinners and nasal medicines
- the timing of obstruction, drainage, smell loss, pain, or bleeding
Modena Health Solana Beach is located at 462 Stevens Avenue, Suite 300, Solana Beach, CA 92075. Patients from Solana Beach, Del Mar, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, and nearby North County communities can call 858-392-8660. Provider schedules, tests, procedures, and treatment availability vary by location, so confirm the exact appointment type before changing medication or making travel arrangements.
A More Complete View
Why Routine Nasal Examination May Not Be Enough
The front of the nasal cavity can be inspected with a lighted instrument, but deeper areas may remain out of view. Nasal endoscopy can help a clinician assess swelling, drainage, bleeding sources, crusting, polyps, postoperative changes, or another visible abnormality when symptoms and routine examination do not provide an adequate explanation.
Endoscopy may be considered for persistent blockage, smell change, chronic or recurrent sinus symptoms, unexplained bleeding, imaging abnormalities, or monitoring after prior treatment. The responsible clinician decides whether the expected information justifies the procedure for an adult or child.

What Happens During the Examination
The Scope Is Guided Through the Nasal Cavity
The patient remains positioned for an office examination while the clinician passes a thin scope through each side of the nose. A topical decongestant or anesthetic spray may be used when appropriate. The clinician looks at specific nasal structures and may document findings. Procedures and patient needs vary, so this page cannot promise the exact scope type or medication.
Pressure, watering, sneezing, temporary numbness, a brief lightheaded feeling, or minor bleeding can occur. Tell the team about blood thinners, bleeding disorders, pregnancy, prior reactions to topical anesthetics, and difficulty tolerating nasal procedures before the examination.

Prepare the Existing Evidence
Bring Imaging and Prior Endoscopy Findings for Comparison
Bring CT reports and image access, ear-nose-throat notes, operative records, culture results, photographs of bleeding when useful, and a timeline of sprays, rinses, antibiotics, or steroids. Note which side is affected and whether smell, vision, breathing, or facial symptoms changed suddenly.
Continue medication unless the office gives procedure-specific instructions. After topical anesthetic, follow staff guidance about eating or drinking until normal sensation returns. Related context is available on the chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps pages.
