Re: i need a great surgeon

[Guest guest]

Hi " matthewc " ,

I would give the " Find an ENT " database at:

http://www.entnet.org/

a try. You could specify a state (VA) and then a specialty. If I were

you I'd consider a neurotologist, and neurotology is a specialty that

you can pick out of the database. Neurotologists are ear doctors that

also specialize in the nerve pathways that run through the ear. That's

just my opinion though and you may find an otologist with tons of

experience operating on cholesteatoma patients.

All the best on making a choice. My search came up with these folks in

VA (some have multiple offices):

H. Coelho, MD Richmond, VA 23298-5026

Theodore W Fetter, MD Vienna, VA 22180-4661

Bradley W Kesser, MD Charlottesville, VA 22908-0713

Jeffery J Kuhn, MD Virginia Beach, VA 23451-3669

Jeffery J Kuhn, MD Portsmouth, VA 23708-2197

Pierre T , MD Newport News, VA 23606-4250

C. Mason, MD Charlottesville, VA 22902-4852

Moody , MD Norfolk, VA 23507-1904

L Rigby, MD Richmond, VA 23226-1934

Wayne T. Shaia, MD Richmond, VA 23233-2012

Barry Strasnick, MD Norfolk, VA 23507-1904

Barry Strasnick, MD Virginia Beach, VA 23452-6263

You'll get additional information on the doctors once in the database

and some provide links to their practice's web site.

I live in VA, just west of DC and was referred to a surgeon, whom I still see, that is at s Hopkins in Baltimore, MD. I had my surgery for first, and only (knock on wood), back in April 2007. No reoccurence, and am now doing follow-up visits every 6 months now. My last visit last week went well, as I've been following up every 3-4 months after the first year.

Here is a link to his profile at JHU:

Does anyone know of any ear only surgeons in va or in a state close by? My ENT says I need someone who only does ears. He did my first cholesteatoma and is very good so I value his opinion. Now I have another in my other ear. Thanks for all the help

First I had a huge ctoma in my left ear. It was removed and left a very big

opening. I now have a ctoma in my right ear. The ENT that did my original

surgery did not want to re-enter my left ear because it was to risky and could

make me permantley dizzy. Now that I have a CToma in my right ear they want to

try to improve the hearing in my left ear. My original ENT says that Dr.

Hashasaki is the best in the state but he isnt doing my surgery. His one year

resident is under his guidance.

I had a ct scan done. I will call and ask my ent if any of the canals were

exposed, should I ask him anything else? Thanks
