My name is Don Reed and I just recently had a balloon sinuplasty done by Dr. Depasquale.
Going back as far as I can remember, I have had trouble breathing through my nose, even
when I was a boy I couldn't breathe through my nose. The problem just got worse as I got
older, and the last few years it has become dramatically worse; I couldn't sleep I was
breathing through my mouth all the time, and it was very difficult. I had been to a doctor
several times trying to find the problem, allergy tests, so on and nothing seemed to
help. Finally they did a CAT-Scan of my sinuses and found out the openings in my sinuses were
dramatically smaller than they were supposed to be. And Dr. DePasquale recommended the
balloon sinuplasty, where they would simply go in and blow up the balloon like they would
for a clogged artery for a heart patient, for instance. And she did that and that was
last week and I am breathing 90% better, it has dramatically improved, I now sleep through
the night pretty well. The runny noses the plugged up nose has almost totally gone away.
I am totally happy with the procedure.
