My husband, Levi, went to Dr. Kuperan for deviated septum repair. Dr. Kuperan goes out of his way to listen and acknowledge his patients concerns. My husband was scheduled for surgery and was very nervous about  anesthesia but Dr. Kuperan and staff went out of their way to make him comfortable about procedure. Everything went smoothly and his pain post surgery was minimal especially for procedure being more intensive than originally planned. While waiting for my husband to be done with surgery Dr. Kuperan updated me himself and went over all details of procedure. I felt very comfortable and informed at all times. If you need the help of a physician while being heard and not just another number, Dr. Kuperan is the doctor for you!

An Expert Approach for Exceptional Results

Struggling to breathe due to nasal blockages or chronic sinus issues? Traditional treatments provide only temporary relief—but Breatheplasty® offers lasting results. By improving airflow and reducing sinus infections, this minimally invasive procedure helps you breathe easier. When paired with balloon sinuplasty, it tackles both nasal obstructions and sinus drainage issues at the source so you can finally breathe freely.

Dr. Kuperan's Philosophy

Dr. Kuperan knows everyone is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to nasal and sinus concerns. With his advanced training, genuine compassion, and commitment to patient-centered care, he tailors his Breatheplasty® procedures to each patient so he can ensure the best outcomes for your specific facial anatomy and breathing concerns.

Specialized Techniques

Dr. Kuperan uses industry-leading surgical techniques that maximize patient safety, comfort, and results.

  • Precision Septoplasty for Improved Breathing: By carefully reducing or removing the septum cartilage or bone blocking your airway, Dr. Kuperan can improve nasal function while preserving your natural facial anatomy.
  • Turbinate Reduction for Lasting Relief: Dr. Kuperan meticulously reduces enlarged turbinates—the structures along the base of your nasal passage—to alleviate chronic congestion, sinus pressure, headaches, sleep apnea, and other nasal-related disorders.
  • Structural Support for Long-Term Stability: By reinforcing and strengthening the upper lateral nasal cartilage and correcting nasal valve collapse with VivAer® radiofrequency treatments, Dr. Kuperan can help alleviate breathing difficulties.

Dr. Kuperan and his staff are outstanding. I traveled from across the state for a second opinion and decided to proceed with Dr. Kuperan as my primary. They make sure you're comfortable with the treatment program and so far I can say my sinusitis is almost completely gone. Highly recommend a consult if you're tired of dealing with chronic sinus issues.
