Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hi, After 3 trips to the emergency room, the doctor finally diagnosed my husband with achalasia. The onset seems to coincide with his treatment for oral cancer, in which his vagus nerve was cut and he had a more than normal amount of radiation, which killed his taste buds and his teeth. He is now cancer free. The ER gastro-enterologist said he didn't know what to do, as my husband has much scar tissue from an extreme hiatal hernia operation. I saw on the achalasia website that in Florida, the doctor to see is Dr. Boyce in Tampa. Is anyone here familiar with his work? I read here that many of you have been to Dr. Rice in Cleveland? I am willing to travel to make sure he sees the best doctor for this. I am tired of his being misdiagnosed, undiagnosed, and receiving flawed treatments for his various health problems. Suggestions, please. Thanks, R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
