"I suffered from repeated and severe bouts of sinus and ear infections for many years and undertook sinus and ear tube surgery in the past with another doctor which ultimately proved unsuccessful. Following my move to Houston and a particularly miserable few weeks of allergy induced sinus and ear infection, I visited Dr James Ludwick's office. The doctor performed an in-office camera exam and I was able to watch live images of my nasal passages and sinuses to see what was going on. A CT Sinus scan was subsequently recommended. Dr Ludwick spent time with me to show me these scans and discuss in detail what the problems were. Having gone through surgery before, I was extremely reluctant to undergo another procedure. The time Dr Ludwick spent showing me the scans and explaining what was going on, really helped me understand why I was repeatedly getting sick and what Dr Ludwick believed could be done to help me.
My previous ENT Doctor only briefly explained what he thought was wrong and did not really go into the details of what the surgery would involved. I was simply advised that "you need sinus surgery". The time Dr Ludwick spent to explain my problems and show me what was going on really helped me to understand and trust Dr Ludwick. His professional demeanour and competence won me over and I decided my best hope to lead a more healthy life was to undertake another procedure to insert ear tubes and perform functional endoscopic sinus surgery. The procedure was less unpleasant than I imagined and the recovery time was only around 5 days. My quality of life has improved markedly since this procedure and I no longer suffer from repeated infections. My energy levels, sense of taste and smell are all restored. If you suffer from sinus or ear infections and are tired of the misery these bring, I highly recommend the work of Dr James Ludwick.”
