Specializing in treating the conditions of the nasal cavity, Dr. Matt Hershcovitch is aiming to quickly revolutionize the industry with the work being done at SoCal Breathe Free Sinus & Allergy Centers.
By staying current on sinus intervention innovation and technology, Hershcovitch is offering minimally invasive, office-based approaches and techniques to treat sinus conditions and diseases.
“These patient-centric innovations are more cost-effective and result in better outcomes, fewer complications and faster recovery times,” the physician states on his website.
Hershcovitch is a double-certified, fellowship-trained physician also specializing in ENT (ear, nose and throat) and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Besides being committed to providing his patients with top-quality service, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, State University of New York and Stanford University-educated doctor comes equipped with advanced knowledge of minimally invasive techniques that pave the way for safe and effective office-based treatment.
“I was born and raised on Long Island, New York,” Hershcovitch says. “My interest in medicine started in college, where I worked part-time as a medic. I found my time working on an ambulance more exciting than my initial plan to become an engineer. I decided that a career in medicine was what I wanted to be doing. I thought about combining my talents and specializing in radiation oncology; however, I fell in love with surgery during medical school. In particular, I found head and neck surgery very interesting and exciting.”
While specializing in treating the conditions of the nasal cavity -- nose and sinus infections, sinus obstructions, ruptures, operculum collapse, polyps and reconstruction of sinus cavities -- Hershcovitch stresses the idea that nasal well-being cannot be understated.
“The health of the sinus cavity affects how well one can breathe, the degree of sinus congestion and ultimately how one feels,” he says. “In addition, the evidence continues to support that your nose is the gateway to the rest of your health. As technology has evolved, we now offer patients immediate and long-term relief right in our office.”
When not working with patients at SoCal Breathe Free, Hershcovitch enjoys spending time with his wife and three children, traveling to exotic destinations, going to the beach, snorkeling and deep-sea diving.
