Looking for ENT recommendation

[imjustdave]

I enjoy diving but every year I end up with sinus issues in the spring and fall time so looking for a recommendation of a ENT and or hyperbaric medicine doctor in the Greater Seattle area.


FYI Edmond Kay, M.D. is retired now, so ... I missed out.

Are you a DAN member? If so, contact them.

Probably any of these people would be fine:

OTOH, likely any decent ENT should do fine for spring/fall allergies. Probably some antihistamines as needed (over the counter now) and some nasal steroids, also OTC now. Saline rinses can do wonders for washing out allergens.

I've had rotten sinuses my whole dive career and have a schedule of thing I need to do, and med to take to be comfortable, let alone dive. Be happy to talk to you. I'm in Seattle. PM with phone #.
Do you dive locally?

I've heard that Dr. McKendry is the one to go to. I plan on it. I received her recommendation from a doc at Virginia Mason
