HanHan Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 We are looking into a tonsillectomy for our DD8. I heard the ENT's at Children's will not perform them if the reason is pandas. Could anyone recommend an ENT who supports pandas? Thank you.
NancyD Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 We saw an ENT several years ago at Mass Eye & Ear who has performed T&A on children with PANDAS. But, he needed to see documented history of strep throat infections and we did not have that as my DD's strep was in her sinuses and elsewhere. PM me on Monday and I will be happy to dig for his name.
madbay Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 We used dr. Whittimore at childrens and he was very supportive of pandas and has helped others in our area as well. Also, there is a pandas parents meeting in Hanover,ma on mon feb 27 at 7pm at sky spa in Hanover, please come for more local resources.
bulldog24 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 there is an ENT in Brockton MA and he seemed to support T&A for PANDAS with hx of strep and missing school. Gotta say not the best doc I have ever seen but he got the job done. He was also against post op abx which I didnt like. But thought I would share, I know there are other docs in that location who are abx friendly. Dr. Shu ENT specialists (508) 588-8034 Alos there is a doc in minnesota collecting PANDAS kids tonsils. There is a post about it somewhere on here. PM me if you need more info
