Services
Hearing Loss Treatment
Our practice offers comprehensive evaluation and management of hearing loss, including conductive, sensorineural, and mixed types. We provide advanced diagnostic testing and personalized treatment plans, such as hearing aids and cochlear implants. Our audiologists are doctorate-level experts dedicated to improving patients' quality of life through improved auditory function.
Balloon Sinuplasty
Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive procedure to treat chronic sinusitis. Using a small balloon catheter, we gently open blocked sinus passages without tissue removal. This FDA-cleared technique offers faster recovery and lasting relief from symptoms like congestion and facial pressure, with most patients resuming normal activities within days.
Sinus Surgery
We perform endoscopic sinus surgery to address chronic sinusitis and structural abnormalities. This outpatient procedure improves drainage and reduces inflammation using minimally invasive techniques. Our surgeons prioritize patient safety and comfort, with post-operative care plans to ensure optimal healing and long-term symptom relief.
Hearing Aids
Our audiologists provide comprehensive hearing aid services, including selection, fitting, and follow-up care. We offer a full range of devices from leading manufacturers, tailored to individual hearing needs and lifestyle preferences. Patients receive personalized counseling to ensure proper use and maintenance of their hearing technology.
Thyroid Treatment
We diagnose and manage thyroid disorders, including nodules, goiters, and cancers. Our approach combines medical management with surgical intervention when necessary. For thyroid cancer patients, we coordinate multidisciplinary care with oncologists and provide post-operative follow-up to monitor recovery and hormone replacement needs.

Report
First and last time seeing Mr. Bassett. He was rude, cruel, arrogant, insulting, unprofessional I've been to other ENTs and they were professional. He didn't do a full exam,looked in one ear, kept questioning me about being vaccinated, told me I have bad luck as he was sticking cotton swabs up a nostril then numbed my nostril I think and looked for a vessel to cauterize. Now my nose is in as much pain as before. The office people were friendly but he is weird, although he said I had skin cancer on my face... He told me my nostril would be draining all day today. Nothing. But my nose hurts bad

I can't say enough good things about the staff of the Sun City office. My mother suffered sudden vision loss and a neighbor tried to help her put new batteries in her hearing aids and ended up damaging them. This left my mother unable to see and hear. As soon as I got to town I took them in for repair. It was just before Thanksgiving. The staff rushed the hearing aids out to make the last UPS pickup before the holiday. The staff contacted us as soon as they came in after being repaired off-site and they shared in my mother's joy and relief when she put them in and was no longer cut off from the

Dr. Borgesen is the best doctor I've have ever been to. I have gone to numerous ENTs, regular physicians, no one could diagnose me. Until Dr. Paul B. Borgesen. The staff is amazing, very professional. Especially Daijah the receptionist! Such a lovely person!
