My 11 yr old daughter has been having horrible nosebleeds. I took her to our family doctor who referred us to Dr. Borovik. Do not go to this ENT! He gave us two options, which he did not explain in detail, 1. Come into the office for two separate visits to have each nostril cauterized. 2. Put her under and do both at once. Initially we chose option 2 thinking it would be easier & due to his lack of explanation I was thinking would be a little laughing gas and be quick. While checking out during our consultation I was told she would have to fast for 12 hours, check into Munson, have an iv and anesthesiologist put her out... then I was told I would need to pay upfront $500.00 and that didn't include my out patient surgery co pay and the anesthesiology bill. Seemed like over kill for putting silver nitrate on a Qtip and touching the inside of her nose! I called the office back and told the receptionist we wanted to go with option one. At that point the doctor took the phone and told me it was a horrible idea. Said my daughter would be in immense pain, she would start screaming and flailing and there would be profuse bleeding. When I asked if he used any type of numbing agent he flat out said "NO". I said "really? Not even a Novocain cream??" Then he replied "oh well yes we would use that" well, sir, that IS a numbing agent! He then told me in his 30yrs of practice this nightmare he described has been his experience with kids having this type of procedure. Perhaps it says more about him than the people he is treating? Bottom line I felt like he was trying to scare me into the more expensive procedure, his office was dirty and he was rude and I felt talked down to. I would have gone with the more pricy option had I felt it was better for my child but honestly anesthesia scares me and it's risks out weighed the procedure's risk. I told him to cancel everything. I will be seeking a second opinion. Then I googled him. Holy cow!! page after page of horrible reviews!! Literally go to any other ENT in town!
