Sinus problems in the southern United States are usually secondary to allergies until proven otherwise. Our practice sees many patients who have had recurring sinus infections and multiple sinus surgeries. Once a patient is evaluated in our office and treated, many never have another infection -- or need another surgery.
Identifying the cause of the problem and eliminating it from our patient’s environment it is our goal.
Allergy shots are commonly used to desensitize our allergic patients who suffer from sinus disease. These vaccines also help prevent nasal and sinus inflammation, which in turn decreases symptoms and infections.
“When I first went to see Dr. Hutto, I was experiencing 8-10 sinus infections a year and I was constantly on meds to treat my condition. But since first seeing Dr. Hutto over two and half years ago, my life has changed 100 percent! … She’s not quick to prescribe medications and looks at all the factors in your life that may be causing your condition—listening to you and working with you to start a treatment plan and making sure you follow that treatment plan until your condition improves."

“For years I’d gone to doctors with sinus issues and I was always given antibiotics to treat my condition. I would start to feel better for a short while but eventually the drugs would wear off and my infections would always return. This went on for years. But then I went to see Dr. Lisa Hutto. She actually listened to me. She was the first doctor to do that."
"For years I’d gone to doctors with sinus issues and I was always given antibiotics to treat my condition. I would start to feel better for a short while but eventually the drugs would wear off and my infections would always return. This went on for years. But then I went to see Dr. Lisa Hutto. She actually listened to me. She was the first doctor to do that. She knew I had a problem beyond normal infections and recommended I see an ear, nose and throat specialist. It turned out I had 80 percent blockage in my right sinus cavity and, because of a cyst, I had 100 percent blockage in the other cavity. There was no place for my sinuses to drain and that’s why I kept on having repeated problems. I would have never discovered I had these issues if not for Dr. Hutto. She is also an advocate of weight loss in terms of the general health benefits it can have on someone’s immune system. She and her staff discuss how weight loss can improve your ability to fight sinus and other infections and she even hosts weekly Weight Watchers meetings at her office. I ended up losing 50 pounds and my wife lost 55 pounds. Clearly, this is a doctor who goes out of her way to help patients discover proactive treatments and programs that go way beyond her area of specialty. Because of this personalized level of care, I’m proud to call Dr. Hutto not only my doctor but a friend."

“Before becoming a patient of Dr. Hutto, I struggled with constant sinus infections and bronchitis. Playing with my dog, running outside, and riding my horse were a challenge because of my allergies."
“Before becoming a patient of Dr. Hutto, I struggled with constant sinus infections and bronchitis. Playing with my dog, running outside, and riding my horse were a challenge because of my allergies. Dr. Hutto and her staff were very thorough in the investigative stage and in charting the best plan of treatment for me. After determining what my allergies were, I am now able to ride my horse, run outside, and play with dog without all of that suffering! Allergy shots have been the best option for me and while others that I know are suffering through the pollen season, I am out living my life!"
