I had a second sinus surgery with Dr Nichols about 20 years ago. I suffered with chronic sinusitis for about 7 years when I came to Dr Nichols. I had a previous sinus surgery that was supposed to be " just cleaning up things " and reduce my turbinates. My sister had the same surgery with the same dr before and had no further issues. However I stayed sick if not sicker.
I even had steroid injections directly into my sinuses which bled and always seemed to make things worse. I went to multiple allergists and sinus doctors before finding dr Nichols. He did multiple testing but still wasn't sure why I only stayed infection free for a max of two weeks for several years. I had been on ever antibiotic but mostly augmentin which worked but only temporarily.
I went in for a 45 minute surgery that turned out to be 6 hours. It turned out that my sinuses were completely scarred shut with an embedded infection that was completely sealed off due to scar tissue that had almost spread to the bone. Dr Nichols completely recreated them from scratch. He corrected everything. I have had maybe 2 mild sinus infections in the past 20 years that responded well to antibiotics which had never been the case before. I'm so blessed that I lucked into finding dr Nichols. He is brilliant!
