American Sinus Institute rescued me from daily debilitating headaches! I was experiencing post nasal drip, congestion, and headaches. The nasal drip and congestion, although a nuisance, I could tolerate; they were more of a mild issue. The headaches were severe; light sensitivity, sometimes nausea, lasting for hours. A family member suggested I make an appointment with American Sinus Institute; they previously had the Balloon Sinuplasty, and were very pleased with the results. I am so happy I did! The staff was amazing, the appointment quick and easy, the CT scan of my sinuses was performed right in the office with immediate results. They told me I would benefit from the Balloon Sinuplasty and boy did I! I was asleep during the procedure (the Anesthesia Provider - Amazing!) and very little discomfort afterward. I had some congestion for about a week after the procedure, but other than that, recovery was a breeze! Best of all, no more headaches! Well, I still get the occasional headache; but not nearly the severity or the frequency. I went from almost daily headaches to one maybe two a month; if the pollen or mold count is really high. I can't say enough about American Sinus Institute! They are Awesome! read more

I had a fantastic visit with Dr. Amand Shah at the American Sinus Institute today! I was able to get an x-ray scan right that day in the office and immediate feedback. That NEVER happens!!! Dr. Shah explained my scans to me and just what the problem is. Then he suggested a way to make my nose work properly, but never pushing me into it! I'll be going in for a correction of my deviated septum, along with balloon sinuplasty. If that goes as well as my visit today, I know I'll be very happy . . . and thrilled to finally be able to breathe like normal people. Dr. Shah and his entire staff were very pleasant and helpful and happy to answer my questions. All of them, including Dr. Shah, spent the time that I needed, never rushed. It was great! Update August 2023: I had my surgery today! So far everything has gone exceptionally well! Dr. Shah spent time with me beforehand answering my questions, his staff was outstanding all along the way, and I'm doing well. It's important to Dr. Shah to give 110% when he's in surgery, and that's comforting to know. read more

"It's a miracle!" I am a 69 yr. old woman who has been suffering with sinus infections, headaches, pain in my face, stuffy ears, and post nasal drip all my life. I am usually on antibiotics,one right after another, steroidal nasal spray, and two allergy meds. About eight months ago, my PC sent me to an ENT. He did a CT scan, added even more meds and more nasal lavage. I was miserable. I saw the American Sinus Institute ad on tv and called for an appt. I was seen the next day and scheduled my balloon sinuplasty . Everyone was very nice, very professional, very knowledgeable and very caring. It has been six months since my surgery, and I feel fabulous . I will be going back for allergy testing, and will try to get my allergies under control. I highly recommend the American Sinus Institute to everybody and everyone I see. The people are wonderful, the care superb, and the results for me, miraculous. I feel blessed to have found them. read more

American Sinus Institute is a wonderful place to get relief for your sinus issues. Everyone in my family had different sinus symptoms. My oldest daughter had recurrent bronchitis, my husband blew his nose all day long, and I had severe earaches. All of us suffered from fatigue, congestion, and constant post nasal drip. It's common to have different follow up plans after this procedure. My oldest daughter has not taken any over the counter medications in the three years since her procedure. She doesn't take allergy shots or drops. My husband and I still do our rinses every morning (with distilled water and a saline packet so about two cents per rinse), and I get once a month allergy shots - my husband takes the drops - the procedure will not cure you from allergies but it can get you off over the counter medications and improve your quality of life - I love working here and I promise that we will treat you like family - read more

I was confident in Dr. Shah's expertise that I felt comfortable enough to undergo surgery --twice. Dr. Shah addressed each of my concerns and presented different courses of treatment (including surgical and non-surgical options) prior to any procedure. P.A. Crowder conducted thorough follow-ups and presented solutions to potential issues in a proactive manner. Both professionals foster genuine connections with their patients and take feedback seriously to ensure you are happy with your overall treatment. They both gave me the resources necessary to make an informed decision and they never made me feel pressured to do something I didn't want to do. I hardly give reviews but I know how difficult it is to find doctors that keep your best interest at heart despite external pressures. With Dr. Shah and P.A. Crowder, I knew I was in great hands and would strongly recommend them to anybody who would require similar services. read more

Dr. Shah was a Godsend for my husband. My husband suffers with severe allergic symptoms to almost EVERYTHING out there, pollen, dust, oak, dander, you name it. For years, he complained of problems breathing through his left nostril. He saw several ENT's but none of the medications or injections were able to correct the problem. Dr. Shah examined him and suggested he have surgery. In doing so, Dr. Shah discovered and removed a papilloma. My husband can now breathe through both nostrils and his sleep and quality of life have improved so much. Dr. Shah's expertise in his field is evident. He truly cares about his patients and it shows. He answered all our detailed questions and his staff was professional in their manner and made us feel welcome. I highly recommend Dr. Shah and his services to ANYONE who suffers from allergy symptoms. read more

I am very pleased with the care I receive from Dr. Shah and his staff. They go above and beyond what many doctors and staff do. The treatment is so personal. I just underwent sinuplasty to correct my deviated septum. Dr. Shah answer all of your questions. He is a professor at the Medical School. This brought me another level of respect for him. To me it translates to more doctors listening to their patients and ensuring they have staff members who do as well. Claire was wonderful during my scheduling for the appointment. We encoding many obstacles along the way. It was almost like we were friends by the end. She keeps you in the loop. She doesn't make you wait for a response days later. Thanks, Claire! The front office is very welcoming too! I would do recommend American Sinus Institute to anyone who needs an ENT. read more

The services that I received from Dr. Shah at the American Sinus Institute was excellent and his staff was very friendly and professional. I was a bit nervous about my procedure, but Dr. Shah took his time to explain my conditions with me as well as my treatment options & what to expect after surgery. He's knowledgeable, sensitive, informative and I felt confident in my receiving expert medical care from him. He takes his time with the patients to help them with their health issues! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for doing SinusPlasty Procedure. Dr. Shah is by far one of the best doctors that I've ever had and I can say that I'm breathing so much better than I ever have in a very long time. I give him a A+ Kris R. read more

I have had two procedures with Dr. Shah, and both experiences were amazing. The receptionist was very friendly and checked me in very quickly. The medical and nursing staff were also friendly and got me ready for Dr. Shah quickly and efficiently. The RN who inserted my IV was very good. I am a hard stick and she got it on the first attempt. The anesthesiologist was friendly as well. Dr. Shah was thorough and took the time to answer all of my questions and I knew exactly what to expect before and after each procedure. I was given typed pre-op and post-op instructions. I received follow up phone calls after my procedures to see how I was doing. I was totally at ease and very highly recommend Dr. Shah and American Sinus Institute. read more

Dr. Shah and the pros at American Sinus Institute have been taking care of me for almost two years. Everyone is kind, respectful, and knowledgeable. We haven't gotten to the bottom of my problem yet, but I appreciate that Dr. Shah and his PA Nathan are working with me to consider lots of options. My first surgery improved two major but didn't quite get everything, so we just did a second procedure. I'm hopeful I will be even better after this go-round. The office staff is also always very polite and prompt in getting the right person on the phone to help me or getting someone to return my call if that person isn't available. I highly recommend this practice, particularly if you have difficult-to-diagnose sinus problems. read more

I had a great experience at American Sinus Institute seeing Dr. Anand Shah for my sinus issues. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly and professional, and everything moved efficiently. The office itself was clean and well run, which made the whole visit feel comfortable. Dr. Shah really stood out. He took the time to listen, explained what was going on with my sinuses in a way that made sense, and didn't rush through the appointment. I felt like he genuinely cared about getting me the right treatment and making sure I understood my options. Overall, it was a smooth, reassuring experience. If you're dealing with sinus problems or need an ENT, I'd definitely recommend Dr. Shah and this office. read more

It was difficult finding an ENT, so thankful for this office. They were able to get me in and address all My needs in a timely manner. They identified a concern and took quick action to helping me with this concern. They were quick to Prescott medication, submit all that was needed for insurance so I can proceed with the testing. They got me scheduled and took really good care of me. I am still going thru the process however this office has been very caring, professional, easy to reach, understanding, and just overall great. You don't find offices or Doctors like this often so when you do, you appreciate it. I am truly thankful for them and would highly recommend this clinic to anyone! read more

I happened to bump into the American Sinus institute on another appointment across the hall. I have been having breathing issues that affected sinus, snoring, and Sleep apnea do to regular flow of air period. The admins, nurses and doctors were able to explain what they did and we encountered a few other concerns. They were able to address the issues and I am hoping to recover soon and be able to improve my quality of living. I am excited to hear many people having had this procedure with success but I am most glad to have been able to bump I to a doctor and clinic that was able to work with me and my needs and specially through VA as a community health provider! read more

My son had the balloon sinuplasty procedure with American Sinus Institute almost 2 years ago and it has been the best thing we've ever done for him! He finally sleeps through the night and wakes up without congestion. Headaches were a major concern for him before the procedure as well and he has had a tremendous improvement in the frequency and severity of headaches in the past 2 years since the surgery. I would highly recommend a consultation for anyone who suffers from sinus problems or has a child who suffers from the symptoms my son had. This surgery has been life changing! read more

I had the balloon sinuplasty back in June of 2020. I was having severe sinus pressure on my face, difficulty breathing, I had ear ringing, difficulty sleeping, dry mouth because I had to breathe through my mouth, I had lost sense of smell. I was suffering from these symptoms for over 10 years! Thanks to Dr. Shah and staff I can now breathe, smell, no face pressure, no ear ringings and I don't have dry mouth at night while I sleep! Thank you doctor and staff for your clear/transparent understanding of the procedure and for your kindness! God bless you! read more

I've been to a lot of Doctors being in my 50's and having several problems from a major auto accident 25 years ago and have NEVER seen a kinder more patient, sincere Doctor as Dr. Shah. He is the Best!! His surgical team for the Balloon Sinuplasty was great. All of them made me feel very comfortable before my procedure, and Dr. Shah from my first consultation to my follow-up's. He's down to earth and makes you feel like a friend, not a patient or ever a number like a lot of Doctor's these days. I couldn't recommend Dr. Shah any higher! read more

After moving to San Antonio I found that my allergies got severely worse and boy did I suffer with recurring sinus infections. The headaches, facial pain/pressure, constant post nasal drainage, foul breath, fatigue and congestion got the best of me. Having the balloon sinuplasty procedure was the best thing that I have ever done! I can breath so much better and (knock on wood) I have not suffered with any sinus infections since. I feel like myself again!!! The staff and doctors are amazing. They treat you like family! read more
