Ear, nose, throat doctor needed!
 

Need recommendation for a ENT doctor near the villages. My husband is suffering from vertigo. Thank you

My wife and I both went to Lake ENT, different docs, both had a really poor experience.

I then went to Dr. Don Burgos in Tavares and while he's getting old, he did a really great job on my sinuses - problems all my life and he fixed 'em up. He knows his stuff.

I had benign positional vertigo (the room spins when you stand up), and I went to a Physical Therapist when I lived in another state.

There are home treatments (specific procedures) to cure benign positional vertigo.
Just do a search on youtube.

These procedures are very simple.

Ditto against Lake ENT. They were having a plastic surgeon do nasal surgery on my husband who had been having a high recurring fever. Thank God I wouldn’t let them and we went to Mayo Clinic. The specialist there said if they had done a procedure on him at that time it would have been very dangerous.

I was also disappointed with Lake ENT. I went to Ocala ENT and found the treatment there better.

There was a thread recently on the Nextdoor website that raved about a medical professional.

====================

Dr. Gegaj had recommended Aneesh Mampachail, the Clinical Director of Lake Centre for Rehabilation. I have no phone number; but sure you can google either doctor here in The Villages. One patient raved about her success with Aneesh.

I use Lake ENT & FPS across from the hospital and LOVE them.

Vertigo
 

I had vertigo and went to ENT in DeLand, where I now live. They were amazing. It has been one year and no vertigo after the treatment the nurse practitioner did on me. Hour and a half ride for you will be worth it.

ENT Doctor
 

I contacted Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville FL for an appointment and they told me to see Dr. Atkins in Celebration FL. I ask why so far to see an ENT and they said he is the only one we recommend to see as he has all the equipment and you must see him before we will give you an appointment here. Let me tell you he really puts you through the testing. I highly recommend Dr. Atkins. I have had BPV for years. After all day testing Dr. Atkins diagnosed me with a virus in my inner ear. Hope this helps.

His number is 321-939-3000

Vertigo
 

You may need the Eply maneuver. Ear crystals out of place. Really works. Dr Waldo at Village’s health is very good and did mine. Physical therapist trained in it can also do it. Simple procedure

Exercise for Vertigo
 

I suffer from vertigo once or twice a year. I went to an ENT in Michigan and he demonstrated exercises that address the vertigo then referred me to YouTube which has the same exercises. The exercises work reasonably well; it normally takes a couple of days for the vertigo to right itself. I suggest you search YouTube for the exercises and try them — it might save you a doctors’s visit

Dr Schmidt at Ocala ENT

I went to urgent care they gave me a prescription but did not help much, it goes away on its own after a week or two.
It is a common complaint.

I suffered with severe vertigo for 8 months. Nothing worked. Tried everything and several doctors and pills. Got a referral and went to Dr James Atkins at Orlando hospital. Next day was in Epley maneuver chair. Cured in one visit. Yes one visit. I went for two for good measure but have never experienced anything like this. And that was over 2 years ago. Give them a call. Vertigo is the worst feeling in the world.

Ditto on Dr Adkins. He is great and will get to the bottom of your issue

FYI - he made my condition worse; much worse!

BPV Treatment
 

I had sever BPV and ended up in the hospital. After a tests and a CT scan of my brain, essential to rule out other causes of vertigo, and after treatment at Lake Center for Rehabilitation, my Primary Care Doctor referred me to a specialist in Vertigo & Balance treatment. Here is their information:
Dr James Atkins, MD
Florida Ear & Balance
410 Celebration Place
Celebration, FL
Tell: 321.939.3000

I tried physical therapy at Lake Center for Rehab, they have several locations in the Villages, but the limited Eply procedures they could do in house didn't fully eliminate my problem. It helped but not fully.

After confirming the diagnosis, Dr. Atkins recommended the FULL Eply treatment. It was not fun but after 3 sessions it totally relieved my problems/ symptoms. As far as I know they are the only facility in Florida with the Eply chair which enables them to do the full Eply treatment protocol.

Any time I have a minor reoccurrence, the Eply maneuver they taught me at Lake Center for Rehab has taken care of it.

Please be sure you get checked out to insure you have BPV and nothing more serious. I am told most good Drs and Lake Center for Rehab will only do the physical therapy once other potential causes have been ruled out.

Good luck!🤠

I originally went to Lake ENT because of, what I thought, was water in my ear. They proceeded to do a hearing test, then instruments up my nose, and another test which I can not remember. They then sent me to Lake Imagining for a sinus scan. A few days later, a female from Lake ENT called me to say that they could do immediate sinus surgery...both sides of my face, within the week.
I told them I needed to thing about it, and did some research and scheduled with Dr. Shen, an allergist. When I saw him, almost 4 weeks later, he told me that he saw the films from Lake, and 4 weeks ago, I had a severe infection in my sinus cavity....hmm....
He put me on a potent antibiotic for 10 days and it cleared. Too bad for me, that Lake ENT didn’t call me and tell me the actual results of the scan.

I went to the Silverstein Institute in Sarasota for sever ringing in my ears. They gave me a diagnosis but there is no solution for my problem. They do extensive testing and will come up with an answer and hopefully a remedy for you. My situation is caused by atmospheric pressure. I have very small ear canals which tend to close when the whether changes which causes a whistling sound. For some reason it is not so annoying anymore.

I suffer positional vertigo and keep a supply of Meclizine on hand. A bottle of 100 25mg chewable tablets is available at WalMart for $14. Meclizine is like Dramamine but non-drowsy. Works for me.

Dr. Jiron in Ocala ENT is very good.
Also I found for me OTC dramamine was better than Meclizine

I went to a specialist in Orlando, did acupuncture, and list of exercises. ! was hitting heals on the floor 20 to 30 times. Therapy did work thank God

Seems The Villages area needs more ENT services. Hopefully more practices will open up.
