I saved someone’s sight last week. Yes I’m a dentist.
A patient came in complaining of a toothache. Sonia ( not her real name) lives in Asia and only comes to New York once a year, so I don’t see her as regularly as I’d like.
Of course I examined Sonia’s teeth. I took an x-ray, and I saw nothing. Since I knew there must be something to Sonia’s complaint, I looked further. I took a panoramic scan. I compared it to a scan I had taken several years prior.
I found something!
I saw a change in Sonia’s left sinus. There appeared to be a growth.
I referred Sonia to an ENT Doctor and this week Sonia had surgery to remove a fast-growing tumor from her sinus. It was pushing on her eye and had it progressed, Sonia would have lost sight in that eye.
I love solving problems and I love helping people solve theirs. You need a Doctor like that and if you have a problem that’s not being addressed, look elsewhere.
I’ve received more satisfaction this week from saving Sonia’s sight than I could ever have imagined when I first went to dental school. I am so thankful I am a Dentist.
To your health, wellness and eyesight,
Michael
