Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | Well, as usual, I'm late to check in on a topic. I see my oral surgeon every 3 to 4 months and plan to continue to do so since he will be the one that does my surgery should I have another reoccurence. My ENT, who is local, gets to see me when I have a crisis. Neither seem to have a problem with this set up. It also allows me to keep all my checkups, scans and other tests at one hospital so the lung dr and the gastroenterologist have easy access to them. I guess I'm unique because I only had a oral surgeon, a RO and a dental surgeon where I went.
