What Makes Us Different?

Answers to the Top 5 Questions We Hear from New Patients

When you're searching for an ENT specialist, it’s natural to have questions—especially if you’re dealing with long-standing sinus problems, allergies, or throat concerns. At our practice, we welcome those questions, and we’re here to provide answers that bring peace of mind.

To help you get to know us better, we’ve rounded up the top 5 most common questions new patients ask—and shared what makes our practice, led by Dr. Paul Lapco, truly different.

1. “What should I expect during my first visit?”

From the moment you walk through our doors, we prioritize making you feel comfortable, informed, and heard. Your first appointment includes:

• A comprehensive discussion of your symptoms and medical history
• A thorough ENT exam using advanced diagnostic tools
• Time with Dr. Paul Lapco or his Advance Registered Nurse Practitioner to explain findings and discuss next steps

What makes us different is the time we take to listen—your concerns aren't rushed, and we ensure you leave with clear answers and a tailored care plan.

2. “Do you offer treatment options besides surgery?”

Absolutely. In fact, one of our hallmarks is providing minimally invasive and non-surgical treatments whenever possible. From allergy management to Balloon Sinuplasty, we focus on long-term relief with minimal downtime.

Our practice is centered around modern techniques, many of which can be done right in the office—no hospital stay, no general anesthesia, and faster recovery.

3. “How experienced is Dr. Paul Lapco?”

Dr. Paul Lapco is a board-certified otolaryngologist (ENT specialist) with years of experience treating adults and children for a wide range of ENT issues. Patients often comment on his clear communication, calm demeanor, and personalized approach to care.

He combines advanced training with a deep respect for each patient's individual journey—making him not only highly skilled, but also deeply trusted.

4. “Can I get everything done in one place?”

Yes. Our office is equipped with on-site diagnostics, including sinus CT scans, hearing tests, allergy evaluations, and more. This means fewer appointments, quicker answers, and more efficient care.

We also coordinate treatments and follow-up plans seamlessly—so you can focus on healing, not on managing logistics.
