Dr. Samuel J. Girgis is a board certified Otolaryngologist. He completed his specialty training at Loyola University. Dr. Samuel Girgis specializes in general ear, nose and throat patients with an emphasis on treatment of sinus diseases and facial plastic surgery.

Dr. Girgis has performed over 4,000 nasal/sinus functional and cosmetic procedures since the start of his practice in 1986. He strives for excellence in nasal function as well as the cosmetic aspect of nasal and facial structures.

We have state-of-the-art facilities to make accurate sinus diagnoses. We have the ability to perform an ENT examination and obtain a CT scan from out onsite facility in the same visit, allowing us to make precise, "real time" diagnoses and implement effective treatment. This results in more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan. This process frequently saves the patient time and unnecessary visits.
