Hi All,

Today I called the office of Dr. Wellington Tichenor, a sinus specialist in NYC.

The office staff were super nice, unfortunately, I was informed that Dr. Tichenor does not take insurance and that the first appointment is $600!!

Any testing needed is also charged out of pocket and there is no payment plan.

I've lost so much and now am on Medicaid (Horizon, BCBS HMO).

Since I started using Flonase - end of 2014 - I have avoided sinus infections.  However, the increased dryness has caused throbbing headaches every morning, despite my use of saline spray (Neilmed saline stream) and a humidifier at night.

I still wake up with my nasal passages bone dry.

I have a set of catscans from Boston that I can send to a specialist, but are there any specialists that are affordable?

Thanks so MUCH!

 
unfortunately, most good doctors don't take medicaid.
