Setting the standard for treating head & neck conditions.
Snoring – There’s no reason to keep your spouse awake at night anymore. Not when your snoring problem can be corrected with the latest surgical procedures, including septoplasty, to normalize sleep. Snoring can also be a symptom of sleep apnea, a life-threatening condition caused by obstructions in the throat and nose area, which is also treated by Dr. Porter.

Endoscopic nasal & sinus surgery – Complicated sinus infections can be more safely and effectively performed with functional endoscopic sinus surgery, such as endoscopic antrotomy to drain an infected cheek sinus. Dr. Porter is well-trained in endoscopic surgery as well as the traditional methods of sinus surgery.

Pediatric care – We offer leading-edge ear, nose and throat care for children, including surgery for ear tubes, tonsils and adenoids. In fact, Dr. Porter was the first doctor in Fargo-Moorhead to perform coblation tonsillectomy, which significantly reduces both pain and recovery time when compared to conventional tonsillectomy.
