Finding An Ent With Expertise In Diving-related Issues?

[ScubaJill]

Hi - Is there a good way to find an ENT who is familiar with diving-related issues?

Hi ScubaJill,

I take it you are looking in the Virginia area?

Cheers,

Hi Doc - Yes, Northern Virginia area.

Jill, we have some down here in Durham if you don't mind the drive. Also, Retreat Hospital in Richmond has a hyperbaric unit, you could try contacting them to see if there's an ENT they go to for their hyperbaric patients who have difficulty equalizing.

Best regards,
DDM

Thanks so much, DDM. Durham really isn't that far. I was curious if DAN, or some other organization, had such a list. Maybe I'll make a suggestion to that effect.

DDM beat me to the punch. Go to the closest hyperbaric center and get a referral from them.

You would think so, but no. I was looking for the same thing in SoCal. Called DAN, but no luck. Seems like an easy marketing idea for a qualified doc.

My ENT out here in Marshall is a long-time diver.
