Sensa Health

What Sensa Health does

Sensa Health is a private otolaryngology medical practice founded in 2020 and headquartered in Koreatown, Los Angeles. The practice specializes in ear, nose, and throat care with sub-specialty expertise in rhinology, allergy, and skull base surgery, led by Dr. Kevin J. Choi, MD MS — a board-certified otolaryngologist and fellowship-trained rhinologist from Duke University Medical Center. Sensa Health serves individual patients with ENT conditions ranging from common ailments (sinusitis, hearing loss, tonsil and adenoid problems, deviated septum) to advanced cases (skull base tumors, pituitary tumors, CSF leaks, complicated sinus disease that has not responded to prior surgery or balloon sinuplasty). The practice operates from two clinic locations — Koreatown, Los Angeles and Buena Park, Orange County — and performs surgical procedures at four affiliated hospitals: PIH Health, Hollywood Presbyterian, Glendale Adventist, and Adventist Health White Memorial. Multilingual support (English, Korean, Spanish) aligns with Koreatown and broader Southern California demographics.

The clinical offering centers on advanced rhinology and skull base surgery performed endoscopically through the nose, including pituitary tumor resection, CSF leak repairs, endoscopic powered dacryocystorhinostomy, and endoscopic optic nerve and orbital decompressions performed in collaboration with neurosurgery and ophthalmology colleagues. The physician's surgical experience exceeds 1,050 sinus surgeries completed during residency and fellowship training at Duke, positioning the practice as a referral destination for complex and revision cases. The practice also runs active clinical trials in nasal polyps (adult and adolescent), pediatric migraine, chronic rhinosinusitis, and chronic rhinitis (using radiofrequency treatment), adding a research-driven service line alongside standard consultative and surgical ENT care.

Sensa Health operates on a professional services revenue model, generating income through office consultations and surgical procedures billed to patients and their insurance carriers. Patient acquisition combines referrals from primary care physicians and other specialists with self-referrals, supported by the practice website (sensahealth.org) and direct phone scheduling. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by procedure complexity and insurance coverage. Clinical trial participation provides an additional, research-related revenue and therapeutic-access channel.

Emerging players

• Pacific Neuroscience Institute: Specialty institute in Southern California focused on skull base and endoscopic neurosurgery, including transnasal approaches collaborating with ENT surgeons. Comparable to Sensa Health in shared skull base surgery case territory (pituitary tumors, CSF leak repair) and joint neurosurgery/ENT workflow design.

Direct peers

• Becker Ear Nose and Throat Center: Private ENT subspecialty practice with active rhinology, sinus surgery, and allergy offerings in a defined regional market. Comparable to Sensa Health as an independent physician-led ENT practice specializing in sinus and rhinology care delivered through referrals and direct consults.
• Piedmont Ear, Nose, Throat and Related Allergy: Private physician ENT and allergy practice with sub-specialty offerings including rhinology and sinus surgery in the Southeast U.S. Comparable to Sensa Health as a private-practice competitor offering fellowship-trained rhinology services to a defined regional catchment.
• Charlotte Eye Ear Nose & Throat Associates (CEENTA): Multi-site private physician practice offering comprehensive ENT, allergy, and sinus subspecialty services across the Charlotte region. Comparable to Sensa Health in offering subspecialty rhinology and sinus care within a physician-practice operating model.
• ENT and Allergy Associates (ENTAA): Large multi-specialty private ENT and allergy practice group on the East Coast with multiple office locations and hospital affiliations.

Broad incumbents

• Cedars-Sinai Sinus Center: Sinus and rhinology specialty program within a major Los Angeles hospital system, performing advanced endoscopic sinus and skull base procedures. Comparable to Sensa Health in clinical scope (rhinology, sinus surgery, skull base), but embedded in a large multi-specialty academic delivery system rather than an independent practice.
• Kaiser Permanente Otolaryngology: Integrated managed-care delivery system operating ENT services across Southern California with significant rhinology case volume. Comparable to Sensa Health in addressing the same local patient population for ENT and sinus conditions, but with in-network steerage and a closed referral model that creates competitive pressure for private independent rhinologists.
• UCLA Health Head and Neck Surgery: Academic medical center ENT and rhinology program with fellowship-trained specialists performing skull base and complex sinus surgery in Los Angeles. Comparable to Sensa Health in subspecialty rhinology and skull base capability, but operates within a broader health system with research and residency infrastructure.
