As one of only a few fellowship sub-specialty trained full-time Rhinologist and Sinus Specialists in the Westchester and Hudson Valley regions, Dr. Jourdy offers advanced and contemporary expertise in nasal and sinus disease, as well as anterior skull base disease. This unique knowledge base and skill set allows Dr. Jourdy to have a better understanding of normal, as well as abnormal, nasal and sinus function, as well as the best treatment strategies for each individual patient. Using state-of-the-art, minimally invasive surgical and non-surgical techniques, Dr. Jourdy can treat difficult and complicated sinonasal disease (some of which are listed below) while shortening patients’ recovery time, and allowing them to return to work and normal activities sooner.
