I have some questions about Dr Hussein Samji in San Jose, Ca

Thank you Isaiah and Jules. I was contemplating consult with Dr. Samji for a long time, and if it wasn’t for insurance, would have probably gotten it already. My situation is indeed unusual in that my symptoms developed after previous throat surgery, and I suspect it might be structural issue-either with hyoid or nearby structures. It is my understanding though that the Eagles might develop after surgical trauma; so this might be a possibility, as well. I feel that I really need a good specialist to look at my scans . I hope to get my insurance to cover Dr. Samji and if not, will have to probably work on the direction of changing plans. Thanks again for your help!

Hi hopehope1!

Here is the name of the doctor who did the hyoid surgery in case your insurance will cover a consult with her. She works out of Stanford Hospital:

•Dr. Karuna Dewan, 801 Welch Rd, Palo Alto, CA (650) 723-5281 (Did surgery for Hyoid Bone Syndrome on one member)

Isaiah,
By chance, do you know if that member are doing ok after their surgery? If they are active on the site, do you think I can reach out to them to ask some questions? Thanks again, H.

He’s not been on for a while, but his surgery was successful. If you click on the icon beside his name, it should come up with the option to send a private message to him, you might get an answer that way.

Hi Jules,
Thank you for your reply. I would like to reach out to the member who had surgery by Dr. Karuna Dewan, but I’m not sure who it was? Ramblinman had his with Dr. Smith . Thank you,
H.

I have tried every search I can think of & the screen name of the member who had surgery w/ Dr. Dewan is not coming up. I’m sure he posted her name either in a PM or on the forum, but I can’t find his post in either place. I’m soooo sorry I don’t remember who it was. He was only on here briefly.
