Dr. AppleBaum claims to be a chronic sinusitis specialist and after having a catscan of my sinus he diagnosed me with a chronic maxillary sinus infection. He gave me two courses of antibiotics and told me if I was not feeling better in a week to stop taking the antibiotics and go see a specific ENT and get a culture done so we know what the bacterial strain is and can treat it with the appropriate antibiotic. The antibiotics do not work so I go see the ENT and the culture comes back positive and the ENT gives me a third antibiotic and it does not work. I went back to my primary, who gave me 2 more courses of antibiotics and they do not work. I decide to go an ENT who is an expert specialist in balloon sinuplasty to see if he thinks the procedure might help. I walk into his office and hand the receptionist the disc with the CT images and she asks me for the CT report. I said what is that, I did not even know such a thing existed? So she gets it from the imaging place and makes me a copy and the sinus report said there is no infection and minimal problems with my sinuses, none of which would cause the problems or symptoms I was having. On top of that when I saw the ENT and asked him why the culture came back positive he said because they almost always do, everyone has random bacteria in their nostrils but even if I had an infection in my max sinus, what is in my nostrils is usually not the same bacteria in the max sinus. I went home and read some scientific and medical articles which verified what he told me. In addition "Dr" Applebaum also told me I had nasal polyps but again this was incorrect, it was a mucus retention cyst. So because this guy does not bother to look at the CT report, he misdiagnoses me and that mistake cost me 2000 dollars, 3 months of my time wasted and I was on 5 different strains of antibiotics for 8 weeks straight which were completely unnecessary. I am a PhD scientist and when you are a scientist or a medical doctor or a dentist or a lawyer or just want to be good at what you do in life, you want to be thorough. So when someone pays money for a catscan, you take the time to look at the images AND you read the report, which was only a half a page long to begin with. So is this the kind of sloppy, mediocre treatment you want when you go see a doctor? I feel bad for anyone who has a significant medical problem in this state because it is really hard to find a doctor who is good at what they do. This review is for you, for the people who are struggling and suffering and trying to find someone who can help them. Do yourself a favor and save yourself the time and money and go someplace else. read more
