Yup,

The scoping is a breeze. A small(ish) pediatric 3mmm fiberscope is introduced in your nose after a little Afrin and lidocaine. It is done while you are awake. You can actually see and participate in the images. It will last 10-15 minutes. No seadtion required. You should be able to come & go the same day if you wish (I did from Seattle).
