Dr Maurice Stevens in Watkins medical centre Wickham terrace is very very good.

But if you are thinking about FESS, don't do it, it is a trap

Post sinus operation help

I also need a good ENT after the worst operation in 2011.
The doctor in perth has been de registered due malpractice.
My symptoms are severe due excessive mucusa and turbinate resection.

It seems I can get no help. I have bad headaches and can not tolerate temperature changes ,too hot and too cold.
I am told by neurologist it is in my mind and prescribed anti depressants which make things worse.

I read some ENT in USA are more informed at MAYO clinics etc.
I was told FESS was OK but it seems that I was operated using the older IMA style.
I became unemployed post operation.

My advise to all is do not submitt to any sinus operation without careful consideration.
Life is hell on earth for me now.
All advice is appreciated

Hi Nose,cabin, PM as I can suggest an outstanding ENT. He's not in perth but he's very up with the national situation and could probably recommend someone in perth; alternatively you could come east and see him for another opinion. Hi specialty is sinusitis.
