SINUS SPECIALTY CARE

M.E.: “From initial visit and surgery to a year later, always a professional and happy with follow up and outcome. Excellent! Surgery was less painful than previous by another doctor, quicker return to normal activities, and with much better short- and long-term results. Explained problems and procedures clearly and accurately. Highly recommend Dr. Meier.”

J.G.: “Great Experience! This was a great experience from start to finish. He gave me options, supported my decision, and then the surgery was quick with a very easy recovery. I almost didn’t know I had surgery, and now I can breathe easily and smell things for the first time in years!”

H.E.: “Resolved my sinus and breathing problems quickly and with a great bedside manner. Dr. Meier is friendly and caring. He listens when you converse with him and he remembers what you tell him for future visits. He provided me with several options and also discussed with me the option of not having surgery. He didn’t pressure me into surgery and helped me come to the most informed and best decision for my medical needs. He explained what I could realistically expect to get out of surgery and what to expect post-op and many years after surgery. Dr. Meier made my surgical experience pleasant. I am very pleased with him.”

S.A.: “Septoplasty bilateral total ethmoidectomy surgery (sinus surgery). Dr. Meier is a forward-thinking practitioner willing to listen to my issues and provide guidance and options. I had sinus surgery about 22 years ago and really needed to repeat the procedure. I was reluctant because my first experience convinced me to never have that surgery again. I was miserable in recovery! But Dr. Meier assured me that new techniques made the process a very different experience. I finally agreed out of desperation and constant sinus infections. He was completely accurate! 20+ years made a huge difference and my results have been excellent.”

Anonymous: “Do not fear this surgery, even if you have had it before. I have had one surgery to fix a deviated septum before that left me immobile for three days. Now, this surgery will leave you with the ability to breathe and smell the same day! Dr. Meier said this would be different and he was right.”

D.C.: “Great Physician! Having had surgery in the late 90s for nasal polyps, my experience with Dr. Meier was 180 degrees the opposite of my first surgery elsewhere. He really understood my medical situation. The surgery was amazing! He did not use packing in my nose post-surgery, and immediately following surgery I could breathe and my sense of smell returned.”

P.C.: “Great sinus surgery. I have had two previous sinus surgeries in 1987 and 1995 and still continued to have issues. I was very skeptical about having another surgery. Dr. Meier said he does things differently, so I decided to go for it. He said that he didn’t pack the sinus after surgery. I continually had facial pain on my left side and headaches, and nothing helped. I had the surgery on 9/15 and the difference is amazing. I have not had any facial pain, and best of all, with not packing the sinus afterward, I was able to rinse the next day. Being able to rinse so much was the saving grace. On my other two surgeries, I had to meet my previous doctor at the hospital to get the blockages cleared. Not this time—I was able to clear everything by faithfully doing the five rinses a day. I was supposed to be off work for eight days, and I had to call and plead with the doctor’s staff to release me to go back the following Monday, four days early. I feel wonderful—tired, but wonderful. My post-op appointment was so good he did not have to do anything further to clean it out. Thank you so much, Dr. Meier. You are my hero.”

K.C.: “I had an excellent experience with Dr. Meier. I highly recommend him. I was very comfortable with Dr. Meier. His diagnosis was right on. His bedside manner and demeanor were comforting and helpful. His style of surgery was not as uncomfortable as I had expected.”

G.H.: “Great ENT and person. Had an exceptional experience with him. Just wish he wasn’t so far away from us.”

M.A.: “Great service. Very professional, met my needs.”

S.T.: “I have had wonderful treatment with Dr. Mathis for my nosebleeds. I have the illness HHT, which causes my nose to hemorrhage uncontrollably. Dr. Mathis has performed many lifesaving treatments in the office and the hospital in a calm, professional way. There is no cure for this illness, yet he has helped me through his excellent treatment and always in a timely fashion so that I have not bled out. I am very thankful to him and Dr. Dooley, who is retired. I have seen them for 30 years and have led a normal life with this illness. Many doctors would not even treat me. However, Dr. Mathis has shown respect for me and my family in his treatment. I highly recommend him to anyone. He is very intelligent, has a good bedside manner and is calm in high-stress situations.”

A.A.: “Cured my cough! Simple medication changes made all the difference in controlling my symptoms—something three other doctors couldn’t figure out.”

M.C.: “Always great, goes above expectation. I started seeing Dr. Mathis when I was being tested and treated for mono. He visited me in the hospital and kept a very close eye on me until I was back on my feet, and it has been great ever since.”
