Looking for a Ear Nose Throat Doctor
Hi, I am 37 and I have chronic sinus infections (On my fifth since last July). I am very unhappy with my PCP, but I have asked some friends and will be following up. I know I need to find an ENT. Can anyone recommend one? I live in Fairfax (22030) and work in Manassas (20109). I was told 18 months ago by my PCP who I loved (in Massachusetts prior to my move last summer) that he wanted to refer me to consider surgery. I wanted no part of that then, but after suffering every other month, I at least want to consult with a specialist. I am fussy about doctors, most likely because my mom is a nurse, so I know more than the average Jane and I question things. (Not always appreciated! LOL) I want a partner in my healthcare, not a dictator!
So What Happened?™
Thank you so much for your referrals. I have an appt with Dr. Gurian in Manassas on Thursday 7/14. :)

Hi there! I had a very similar problem and whenever I get sick it turns into a sinus infection that lasts forever!! This last time that I was sick (for 3-4 months) I was referred to an ENT in Manassas- Dr. Lim. I can't remember his phone number off the top of my head but I could look it up for you. He has an office in Manassas by the post office and one in Gainesville too. I really liked him and after seeing him my sinuses cleared up in a few days!! I'll definately go back to him if I have trouble again! Hope this helps and hope you are feeling better soon!

Dr. Lim whom is in Manassas. Perhaps one of the best doctors we have ever been too....really takes his time to talk to you, very honest, very thorough. He was recommended to us and I have never been so impressed with ANY doctor so much. :)A.

I, too, was told in 1997 that I would need surgery following 9 months of sinus infections that wouldn't go away. But my grandmother told me to rinse with salt water. I was desparate & gave it a shot. It worked! Go buy a netti pot and give it a try. I like making homemade salt water using iodine-free salt b/c I can't stand the bitter aftertaste of the preservatives in the pre-made saline rinses. Good luck!

D.,
Sorry to hear about all your suffering. We've been through that with my 2yo daughter. Both my kids have been seeing an ENT in Fairfax. We love Belinda Mantle but I'm not sure she does adults. The practice on a whole is awesome. Dr. Rubenstein is great too and he is adults only. The # is ###-###-####. They are located in the Yorktown 50 building off of Rt 50.
If it makes you feel any better, I'm a pediatric nurse so I appreciate what you said:))
Good luck.

For a PCP, I highly recommend Broadlands Family Practice in Ashburn. The doctors are relatively young, the practice is tech saavy, and they seem to take a well-person approach. Best family care provider I have ever had. Unfortunately out of your way, but maybe worth it.
