I am curious since you are in PA not far from where I am, do you recommend or know of an ENT? I have had some other recommendations but one doctor had me waiting in his office for over 2 hours. I think that was unreasonable.
I do understand about the white patches being benign but when does one know it is truly something to act on? I don't want to be running to the doctor unless it is truly warranted. My surgeon said the cancer is usually red, bleeding area. Is there pain? The surgeon said, no.
Just want to be as clear as I can and be proactive about prevention as Much as I possibly can.
Thanks!
