> Hi Ted and others,  First,   thank you for the FABULOUS ENT referral for my
> daughter.  We met with a Dr Lebovics and my daughter and I both loved him.
>  To make a short story long....she had been referred to someone in NYU.  She
> met him...he never looked her in the eye....asked her about "the nurse"
> (practitioner...was lost on him) who referred her and ordered her CT.  He
> then wanted to schedule her surgery on the basis of the CT she brought with
> her.  He did not do an endoscopy.  He did not take a good history.  She told
> me she was NEVER going back to him.  (she is the new nurse)
>    Dr Lebovics listened to the history,  did an endoscope,.....ordered a
> hearing test ...as she c/o problems...referred her to an allergist....asked
> me to have my radiologist and dentist comment on teeth in the maxillary
> sinus' to determine if either of them thought the teeth were causing the
> chronic sinusitis....and will have her return.  She may very well need
> surgery but he was not interested in doing it unless he ruled out any and
> all  other potential causes...HOW REFRESHING!!!  He also asked how I was
> referred....and expounded on how NPs/PAs/RNs  were wonderful and his office
> loves to work with and hire us.   As I may have explained in prior posts.
> I have a very large family.  I am one of 7 children....have many nieces and
> nephews.  Although we have many nurses in the family,  I am the only NP.
> They all know about our lists  and what a great source of info we have
> here....Sooooo...

> Now....onto my new question.  I have a young adult female who has always had
> very fine curly hair.  Her parents have become concerned lately as they feel
> she is losing more hair.  As her hair is curly she doesnt appear to have a
> problem to the rest of the family...but is noted to have lots of scalp
> showing when she tilts her head  ....They have  started the derm consults
> and testing.  She had a scalp biopsy and was dx'd with non scarring alopecia
> and advised to take po biotin and a mvi and to have  10 injections into the
> scalp.  I do not know the name of the med?  any thoughts?  comments?
>  advice??  specialists in the field?  Ted...I wish you were nearby.....
>   As always I am extremely grateful to all of you folks.
