- Primary CareIf your plan requires a referral from your primary care physician, it is YOUR responsibility to obtain it prior to your appointment and have it with you at the time of your visit. If you do not have your referral, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO RESCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT.
- Sleep DisordersInformation about sleep apnea and sleep disorders can be found in almost every newspaper and magazine and many television and radio ads. Many patients have had sleep studies performed on them and have been told that CPAP (a mask worn at night) is the only treatment available for them. Some have been fitted with masks that cover their entire face, and many others report that no one has ever gone over their sleep study with them and explained to them the details of the report.
- MRIIf you have persistent sinus type headaches and have already had more serious forms of headaches ruled out by your doctor or a neurologist, Dr. Zimmer and Dr. Chmiel can perform a simple test when you have a headache to see if you have a “sinus headache.” Even if you have already had an MRI or other X- Ray of the head and sinuses that has been read as normal, the doctors at Amherst ENT can sometimes find subtle abnormalities that can contribute to your headaches. See below for the science behind nasal headaches.
- X-Rays
- Computed TomographyMany patients have had previous X-rays and CT scans of their sinuses that have been read by the radiologist as normal. The doctors at Amherst ENT always request that patients bring their X-rays in to the office with them for their appointment. Often, Dr. Zimmer and Dr. Chmiel can find the cause of a patient’s symptoms by reviewing the X-rays personally with the patient.
