Ok GUIFR, I never really post here, but today I need some suggestions on a good ENT (ear, nose, throat) doctor or a good ear surgeon. I have a friend who has been through the ringer as far as this is concerned. He has a perforated ear drum and is in extreme pain constantly. (He's previously been seen by Dr. Cahill, Dr. Mustafa, and Dr. Smythe with no luck at all) I've been told Boston is a good place to start, but I'm looking for specific information. He's had some pretty traumatic experiences, and can't stand to see anyone like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!
