I’m looking for a highly experienced sinus specialist who regularly performs image-guided endoscopic sinus surgery. I’m located in Palm Beach Gardens but willing to travel anywhere in Florida for the right surgeon.
I’m 23, a competitive boxer with asthma, and have dealt with 2–3 sinus infections annually throughout my life. However, my current infection has lasted over 60 days, unlike anything I’ve experienced before.
After three rounds of antibiotics, prednisone, nasal rinses, and an allergic reaction to my final antibiotic, I’m still unable to breathe properly through my nose, have virtually no sense of smell, and continue experiencing facial pressure. Three weeks after finishing treatment, I’m nowhere near my previous baseline.
A close family friend, a now-retired, world-renowned ENT in Philadelphia, is positive my structural obstruction requires surgery. Unfortunately, my current ENT in the Jupiter/Palm Beach Gardens area has continued pushing me off week after week with little initiative, I’m more than ready to move on.
I’m looking for a skilled surgeon who performs these procedures frequently and can evaluate me as soon as possible.
My life has essentially been on hold for two months. Being unable to train or breathe normally has taken a significant physical and mental toll.
Any recommendations from those who’ve undergone sinus surgery or work in healthcare would be greatly appreciated!
