international patients for appointment with Dr. Dewan Karuna

[Isaiah_40_31]

We have heard from people in the US that getting an appointment w/ Dr. Dewan can take some effort because communication with her office isn’t good. Did Amy give you any indication of how long it might be before you could be scheduled for a consult with Dr. Dewan? For our US members, she requires an initial consult to be in person, but I don’t know if she has that policy for international patients.

Another doctor you can try is Dr. Chhetri at UCLA Medical Center in California. He also does hyoid bone surgeries. I’m sorry he’s much farther away but the UCLA Medical System might have more efficient communication.

Potential exercises to combat hyoid bone syndrome?

I love the way you think, @TML. What you’ve hypothesized makes so much sense! These are things medical doctors should be able to put together if they thought about it. I should go back through all your posts & make a list of the things you’ve learned & hypotheses you’ve made that definitely could correlate to or help relieve symptoms & put them all together in one post. Perhaps I’ll try to do that one day as I think the information would be very helpful for our members. Thank you for sharing yo…
