What Baylor College of Medicine couldn't do.
What Dr. Cynthia Tarver couldn't do.
What Dr. George Fisher and countless other ENT's couldn't do........
.....Dr. Fakhri did.
I would have never met Dr. Fakhri had it not been for Dr. Bechhara Ghorayeb.
Having been to a multitude of allergists and ENT specialists, the conclusion at least for me was that I was seen more as a "client" - not a patient. Merely relegated to someone to keep checking in every three months to pay for the office visit and be given prednisone. Just a routine customer. Hey it's all about repeat business, right?
That all changed after a visit with Dr. Ghorayeb.
My sense of taste and smell gone, he concluded I needed surgery to remove polyps that had created nearly 100% blockage in one of my nostrils.
"But I've already had 2 surgeries for that, " I informed him.
"Hmmmm this is a very delicate area in which to have repeat surgeries," he said, "And I'm afraid I won't be able to attempt yet another one."
"But aren't you an ENT?", I asked.
"Yes," he replied "but you'll need to see a specialist capable of navigating through something so delicate. Remember this area is incredibly close to your brain and eyes."
He took his cell phone out and made a quick call right there while under his care.
"When you go back up to the front, the receptionist will have an address and phone number to someone I suggest you see."
The difference maker to me is Dr. Fakhri took a personal interest in my issue and made it a point to not prescribe yet another panacea to keep me coming back over and over.
He inquired about my previous surgeries and I noticed surgery wasn't what he wanted me to go though but it might be needed. He tried every measure to prevent that but to make a long an already long story short - surgery was needed.
The result was fantastic.
And I'm happy to report I'm off all medications with the exception of being treated with aspirin and only 1 rinse a day of warm water mixed with Neil Med sinus rinse and montelukast powder. That's it. That's the maintenance. No longer am I a walking medicine cabinet.
Since 2010, I can smell.
I can taste.
Even seasonal allergy flare ups are RARE.
Life is good.
So I don't know who to thank - Dr. Ghorayeb or Dr. Fakhri
Did he change my life? You tell me. read more
