Dr. Aaron Rogers is a local leader in the treatment of nasal and sinus disorders. He trained at Emory University completing hundreds of sinus procedures under the supervision of academic rhinologists and endoscopic neurosurgeons there. His research centered on nasal polyposis and chronic sinusitis in addition to studying the effects of topical glucocorticoids (steroids) on the nasal and respiratory tissues. At Advanced ENT he initiated and oversees the Otolaryngic Allergy program, offering allergy testing and modern allergy treatment options (such as “Allergy Drops”) for patients suffering from nasal and pharyngeal allergy symptoms. He also brought Balloon Sinus Dilation, or Balloon Sinuplasty, and the Intersect Propel steroid-eluting sinus implant to the Advanced ENT practice. After performing the first in-office sinus balloon procedure in Atlanta in 2010, he has made this a meaningful part of the treatment options offered to patients suffering from chronic sinusitis and nasal congestion.

Obstructive sleep apnea, snoring and other sleep disorders have special interest to Dr. Rogers as well. Dr. Rogers works with two local sleep laboratories for diagnostic testing and has ability now to perform most sleep apnea tests from home. We have a full-time Certified Sleep Technician on-site to help with testing and fitting of CPAP devices. Dr. Rogers also offers oral appliance therapy (a specialized retainer to wear at night) and an array of sleep apnea surgeries.

Dr. Rogers is also very active in the Head and Neck Cancer Tumor Board at Northside Hospital, managing a number of patients with head and neck malignancy. Surgical interventions for these patients can range from ultrasounds, to small biopsies to head and neck cancer operations like neck dissection and glossectomy. He is an advocate for early screening for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infections in the throat.

Dr. Rogers is active in the medical device innovation community both locally in Atlanta and in Silicon Valley, consulting with a number of device companies. Meaningful and innovative technology we hope will ultimately improve the quality of specialist healthcare and reduce costs for all.

Dr. Rogers has written several scientific publications, editor of a nationally-distributed pocket guide for ENT trainees, and authored a chapter in the textbook Skull Base Surgery Techniques and Concepts. Additionally he has presented medical research at many recent leading national scientific conferences.

Dr. Rogers’ personal interests include spending time with his wife Barbara and a myriad of outdoor activities. When not at work he can usually be found running, cycling, golfing or fly fishing.

Local hospital affiliations include Northside Hospital, Atlanta Outpatient Surgery Center, St. Joseph’s Health Center, Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite, Perimeter Surgery Center and Meridian Mark Surgery Center. He also volunteers his time teaching other physicians and treating patients at Grady Hospital on a regular basis.
