Dr was ok but said nothing more he could do. To go see a dental expert because he thought that was the cause of my problem and no more surgery would help. But I was given meds to take with minimal explanations on use. No help on who to see for issue and follow up in 3 mo

Dr Chaabon gives excellent care and goes over and above sinus treatment. He made sure that I was cardiac evaluated and checked by an infection specialist last Summer. This last visit, he sent me to an Opthomologist for treatment of Dacryocystitis of the right eye. Since I was diagnosed as IGA deficient last Summer, all infections must be adequately diagnosed and treated with antibiotics. I am very grateful for all his care and treatments
