Default OT - Medical stuff in MIA/WPB - ENT, Mammography and Colonoscopy

Hi, all,

In another venue,

I am surprised no one has repsonded to your request for help. Without
any personal knowledge, I would suggest you contact Seth Thaller, MD
DMD. 305-585-5285 Dr. Thaller is Chairman of the Department of Plastic
Surgery at the University of Miami. He does have a backgorund as an
ENT surgeon.
It apears Dr. Thaller has a private practice as well as directing the
residency program. If you call him, be sure to investigate carefully
the advantages of seeing either Dr Thaller in his private office, or
seeing a resident in the training program.
Most plastic surgery programs now do a lot of breast reconstructive
surgery. Because of that they will know which surgeons and which
radiologists are doing good work on breasts, and with the proper
questions should be able to help you find the best possilbe help.
Good luck.


I said:

This has appeared in several different venues. Aside from the "watch
out for horror story" colonoscopy commentary, the other curiosity I
have found is that everyone either misunderstands, doesn't know what
one is, or assumes that mammography implies the need for breast
surgery.

A mammogram - a specialized X-ray of breast tissue - is an annual
event for most women, but you can't just walk into some place and get
one - you have to be referred. We've got the referral, but we need a
recommendation.

Thanks for the recommendation on the ENT lead...

And, now, I observe...

So, not having any responses, I assume that nobody who's seen this
either has had the procedure(s - a colonoscopy, mammogram or roto-
rooter/resection of nasal passages) or knows of someone who has, in
the Miami through West Palm area, and can recommend the practitioner
who did the work?

Thanks...
