ENT Rec and question? Preferably Queens/Manhattan?
Hey everyone! I'm looking for an ENT doctor. I haven't been to my regular doctor yet since I haven't been able to get over there this week. On Monday morning I started having this terrible itching in my ear. Since then it's gotten worse and there's been other symptoms- swollen glands, tenderness around and outside ear, headaches. From my online research, I believe it's a fungal infection (or "swimmer's ear") and not a regular bacterial infection. It's not so much painful as annoying. But from all the accounts online I've seen, going to a regular doctor usually makes it worse as they don't recognize it as a fungal infection off the bat and perform treatments for bacterial infections which can actually make the fungal infection WORSE. So I'd like to avoid all that noise and go right to an ENT doctor. So if anyone has an ENT doctor they really like, please let me know.
Also, do you know if I need a referral from my GP to see an ENT? Does it depend on the insurance- I have Blue Cross....
TIA!

I like Dr David R. Edelstein. He did my sinus surgery. He is affiliated with some of the top NYC hospitals. He was when I used him chief of Ent at MEETH. He has been in Top drs in America and NY magazine's top doctors in NY. I think he is on 3rd but he has more than one office if I remember correctly.

You only need a referral if you have a gateway type plan-HMO? You would have to check and see what kind of plan you have.
What do you think you have a celluitis?
