Recurring Sinus Infections, Adult ENT Recs?
I have chronic sinusitis, dust allergy, and a deviated septum. I've had multiple infections over the last 3 months, and have seen Dr. Liang at Kaiser without much success. I'm looking for another specialist/ENT who can help me troubleshoot my frequent sinus infections, post nasal drip, headaches, and discomfort. There were a bunch of old (rave!) reviews for a Dr. Drury but unfortunately, he's retired.
Thanks!

I don't have extensive experience with him, but i saw Dr Shane Zim out of Kaiser Richmond after a sinus infection caused my eardrum to rupture, and found him helpful, knowledgeable and responsive. Good luck to you - sinus infections are the worst.
I know this is not exactly what you are asking for, but it was a game-changer for me. I am not giving you medical advice and I am not in the same position as you, but previously for many years I would get month-long sinus infections after every cold, approximately 6 times a year. I have completely eliminated these sinus infections by using Zicam Nasal spray during colds as recommended on the box. It is an over-the-counter medication. Best of luck.
My husband sees Dr. Christina Corey at berkeley head and neck. He's had markedly bad sinusitis the last 3 years that has make him snore and sound like he has a cold all the time. She has him on a regimen of medication and nasal flushes, that has improved things by ~ 60%, which is a lot farther than he was getting on his own. We recently got 2 air purifiers (one for bedroom) and that probably got him about 10-15% better, which was pretty amazing. We are also changing our pillows soon to and help too. So he's not totally his normal self, but his 'new normal' is pretty good. Hope this helps!!!
