According to their website, Tampa Bay Breathe Free specializes in sinus, allergy, and ENT care. The company states that earning a patient's trust is its highest priority.

Tampa Bay Breathe Free's provider is board-certified otolaryngologist Dr. Mariah Pate. According to her bio page, Dr. Pate began her educational journey with a Magna Cum Laude bachelor's degree from the University of Florida. She received her Medical Degree from Quillen College of Medicine at East Tennessee State University, graduating in the top 5% of her class. She completed an internship in otolaryngology at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University. Subsequently, she completed her residency in otolaryngology at the same institution, where she not only served as chief resident but also earned recognition with a Research Award.

Tampa Bay Breathe Free is located at 2805 54th Ave. N., Suite 300, St. Petersburg, according to the company's website. One of the minimally invasive treatment options that they offer is balloon sinuplasty.

Balloon sinuplasty is a safe procedure utilized by surgeons to address chronic sinusitis, according to Nuffield Health. During the process, doctors insert a guide wire equipped with a small balloon into the nostrils and navigate it to the area of blockage. The balloon is gently inflated enough to open the sinuses, and the recovery thereafter is quick.

Tampa Bay Breathe Free offers a Sinus Self-Assessment Quiz that sinusitis sufferers can take to find out if they might benefit from a quick and easy treatment.
