Subspecialty Focus: Rhinology and Nasal Surgery
While Dr. Zadeh is a fully trained otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon capable of managing the full range of ENT conditions, his clinical practice is deeply focused on rhinology, the subspecialty dedicated to diagnosing and treating nasal and sinus disorders. This focused expertise means that patients who come to him for septoplasty, chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, or turbinate reduction are seeing a physician for whom these are not occasional cases, but the core of daily clinical practice.
Rhinology, as a subspecialty, requires a sophisticated understanding of nasal anatomy, airflow physiology, mucosal biology, and advanced surgical techniques. Dr. Zadeh's fluency in image-guided surgery, using real-time intraoperative CT imaging to navigate complex sinus anatomy, places him at the leading edge of medical innovation in minimally invasive nasal and sinus care.
Conditions and procedures within Dr. Zadeh's core clinical focus include:
- Chronic rhinosinusitis with and without nasal polyps
- Deviated nasal septum and septoplasty
- Turbinate hypertrophy and turbinate reduction
- Endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and revision sinus surgery
- Balloon sinuplasty
- Nasal polyp surgery and Propel sinus stent placement
- Smell and taste disorders
- Nasal obstruction from anatomical and inflammatory causes

Clinical Philosophy
Dr. Zadeh's approach to patient care is grounded in three convictions that shape every consultation and every surgical decision.
First, he treats the source of the problem, not only its symptoms. Many patients with chronic sinusitis or nasal obstruction have seen multiple providers and been given short-term symptom management without a clear diagnosis of the underlying anatomical or inflammatory cause. Dr. Zadeh uses nasal endoscopy, CT imaging, and allergy evaluation to build a complete clinical picture before recommending any treatment.
Second, he recommends surgery only when it is genuinely the most appropriate next step. Dr. Zadeh begins with the least invasive treatment for every patient. Surgery is recommended when conservative medical management has been appropriately tried and has not provided adequate, durable relief, not as a first resort.
Third, he treats every patient as an individual. Nasal anatomy varies significantly between patients, and so does the experience of living with nasal and sinus disease. Dr. Zadeh takes time during consultations to understand each patient's specific symptoms, functional concerns, and goals before constructing a treatment plan.
Patient Trust and Recognition
Over the course of his career in Los Angeles, Dr. Zadeh has built a reputation grounded not in marketing claims but in patient outcomes and word-of-mouth referrals from both patients and referring physicians. Several indicators reflect the trust patients and peers place in his care:
- Referring physician network: A significant portion of Dr. Zadeh's new patients are referred by primary care physicians, allergists, pulmonologists, and other ENT specialists who trust him with complex or previously treated cases.
- Revision surgery patients: Dr. Zadeh regularly evaluates and treats patients who have had previous sinus surgery elsewhere and are seeking a more experienced surgical opinion or revision procedure. Being trusted with these cases reflects the confidence the medical community places in his technical skill.
- Video testimonials: A library of patient testimonial videos is available on the practice website, covering a range of conditions and procedures. These are unsolicited accounts from patients describing their experience and outcomes in their own words.
- Five-star ratings across review platforms: Dr. Zadeh maintains consistently high ratings on Healthgrades, Google, and Yelp, with patients frequently citing his thoroughness, clear communication, and the quality of their recovery.
- Telemedicine availability: Recognizing that not all patients can travel to Century City, Dr. Zadeh offers telemedicine consultations for appropriate cases, extending access to his expertise across California and beyond.
