ENT Specialist Serving Patients from Querétaro | Nose Surgery and Rhinoplasty

Querétaro's medical offering grows every year, but for otolaryngology (ENT) conditions that require subspecialty surgery or a high-level second opinion, many patients from Querétaro make the trip to Mexico City. Sinus Center, at Hospital ABC Santa Fe, regularly sees Querétaro patients looking for a definitive solution.

From Juriquilla and El Refugio to the Centro Histórico and the residential communities of southwest Querétaro, the city has seen population and economic growth that has made it a hub of well-being and quality of life. Even so, otolaryngology (ENT) with surgical subspecialty expertise is still scarce nationwide, and patients from cities like Querétaro often have to travel to reach a surgeon with the experience and equipment that the most complex cases require. The distance to Mexico City, about two and a half hours by road or less than forty minutes by plane, makes Hospital ABC Santa Fe a realistic and accessible option.

Querétaro patients who see Dr. Yáñez often arrive with histories that include multiple treatments, conflicting opinions or previous procedures that didn't deliver the expected results. That accumulated experience is exactly the context where an in-depth diagnosis and sound clinical judgment make the biggest difference.

How it works and what sets us apart

Sinus Center can organize the first visit efficiently for patients coming from Querétaro, including the endoscopic evaluation, a review of the medical history and the treatment proposal in a single visit. Many patients return to Querétaro the same day with clarity about the next steps.

A second opinion worth the trip

For those who have already gone through treatments without results or are weighing whether surgery is necessary, a visit with Dr. Yáñez can be the moment of clarity they've been looking for. An accurate diagnosis changes everything that comes after.

Treatment coordination to minimize travel

Procedures at Sinus Center can be scheduled so that Querétaro patients make as few trips as possible. The first visit, the procedure and the follow-up are coordinated with attention to the patient's time and logistics.

Here's how we can help:

Nose Surgery and Rhinoplasty

People living in Querétaro who have explored nasal surgery options locally without finding the level of experience their case requires have an accessible option in Dr. Yáñez. His more than thirty years in functional nasal surgery and his experience with advanced techniques make him a national reference.

Ear surgery

Ear problems in children from Querétaro that keep recurring without a solution often reach Sinus Center after parents have exhausted local options. A complete ear evaluation can identify in one visit what months of trial-and-error treatment have not been able to clarify.

Laryngeal surgery

When a specialist in Querétaro refers a patient with a complex laryngeal condition, they often refer them to Mexico City. Dr. Yáñez is one of those referrals: his endoscopic laryngeal evaluation combines accurate diagnosis with clinical judgment.

Head and neck surgery

Head and neck conditions that require tertiary-level surgery are often referred from Querétaro to Mexico City. Dr. Yáñez receives those referrals with the experience and equipment needed to offer a clear treatment plan.

Endoscopic nasal surgery

For Querétaro patients with chronic sinusitis that hasn't responded to medical treatment, endoscopic nasal surgery can mean the end of a cycle of recurring infections that has lasted for years. Dr. Yáñez evaluates each case with a conservative approach.

Deviated septum surgery

A deviated septum that limits breathing and affects sleep has the same impact in Querétaro as anywhere else in the country. But finding a surgeon with real experience to correct it can be harder outside Mexico City, and that is the gap Dr. Yáñez can close.

  • Sinusitis treatment
  • Turbinate Hypertrophy
  • Sleep apnea
  • Ear infection
  • Pediatric ear infections
  • Otologic Diseases

Frequently asked questions

  • How does the consultation work?

    The consultation includes a detailed medical evaluation of your symptoms, history, and how your condition has progressed. Based on this, we’ll outline a diagnosis and the next steps best suited to your case.

  • Is the treatment determined at the first appointment?

    In many cases, the first consultation helps identify the likely cause of the problem and determine the next steps. The final treatment plan is based on a comprehensive evaluation and, if necessary, additional tests.

  • What types of conditions or specialties do you treat?

    We treat conditions affecting breathing and the upper airway, including chronic sinusitis, persistent nasal congestion, deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, sleep apnea, ear infections, and Eustachian tube problems, among others.

  • How do I know if I need surgery?

    Not all patients need surgery. Surgery is only considered when a diagnosis indicates a structural or functional problem that cannot be resolved with medical treatment. The decision is based on a thorough evaluation.

  • Are surgeries safe?

    If surgery is needed, it is performed using modern, minimally invasive techniques for greater precision and faster recovery. Each procedure is recommended only when clinically justified.

  • What technology or tests will I need?

    During your consultation, we’ll determine whether tests such as nasal endoscopy or imaging are needed. You don’t need to bring previous test results, though they can help with your evaluation.

  • Can I use my health insurance?

    Depending on your insurance plan, you may be able to find out how they handle your consultation. We can provide the necessary documentation for you to submit directly to your insurer. We recommend confirming coverage directly with your insurance company.

  • What if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?

    Please notify us in advance so we can reschedule your appointment. This helps us stay organized and make appointments available to other patients.
