Thanks everyone. It was an emotional decision, I was scared, and I have gone online to look at local ENT's backgrounds. The one I just saw was the one the oral surgeon referred to, but is over an hour's drive from home.
I found one that is closer to home & specializes in surgeries of this kind, and I have heard nothing but good about today from my coworkers at the Health Dept, and my husband is in EMS and heard wonderful things about him at the hospital too. So, we are going ahead with the scans asap, but I will try to get in to see this local ENT. Feeling better about this.
