That is actually the latest, greatest direction that we’re going in with this balloon sinuplasty.  If you have any questions, you can speak to your family doctor or to your local sinus specialist.

Recent Health Talks Authored by Dr. Amin Javer

  • How is Chronic Sinusitis Diagnosed and Treated? - " Bill a 50-year-old male"

    Bill, a 50-year-old male, presents with an eight year history of nasal congestion, anterior and posterior nasal discharge, a reduced sense of smell and is feeling generally fatigued. Despite these symptoms, Bill has managed to continue to function in his daily routine, however at a reduced level. He remembers exactly when this started after a bad cold and can almost give his doctor the exact date. He has been on several courses of antibiotics that only help him partially and only for a short time. The symptoms almost always return. He has also been put on prednisone for short bursts of 2-3 weeks, during which time he feels great. His sense of smell and energy return and he feels back to normal for a short time. Bill has also been told in the past year that he has developed asthma, which he never had before.

    On endoscopic examination of his nasal passage, Bill's doctor discovers he has nasal polyps in both middle meatie (nasal passages), with coloured discharge going down the back of his throat. His doctor explains that this discovery, along with Bill's adult-onset asthma and his symptoms of sinusitis lasting more than three months clearly point to chronic sinusitis.

    Patients like Bill typically do not get better on medical management and can potentially require endoscopic sinus surgery and careful post-operative care for successful management and cure of their chronic sinusitis symptoms.

  • What is the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Sinusitis? "  " Janice a 39-year-old mother has a worsening cold and nasal congestion "

    Janice, a 39-year-old mother of two young children, presents with a 10-day history of a worsening cold and nasal congestion that is not getting better. She states that it all started with a cold that got somewhat better after the first five days but has now become worse again. She is getting coloured nasal discharge, pain and pressure in both her cheek sinuses. She finds that her nasal passages are congested and her sense of smell is compromised. She feels tired and does not have the energy to get out of bed and drop her kids off at school in the morning. She denies fevers.

    As her symptoms have worsened and continue past seven days, Janice now has moderate to severe acute rhinosinusitis. She meets the Canadian Guidelines criteria for acute sinusitis as she complains of the PODS (pain and pressure, obstruction, discharge and smell loss) symptoms lasting more than five days.

    Recommended acute sinusitis treatment is starting Janice on a nasal steroid spray, two sprays to each nostril twice daily, nasal irrigations with saline once to twice daily and encouraged hydration. If her symptoms do not start to turn around within 48 hours, Janice should be started on an antibiotic regimen with the first line of treatment being amoxicillin 500mg po tid.

    Dr. Javer and his staff were very nice. Unfortunately before my wife had sinus surgery we were not informed there was a chance that the surgery could go bad. She ended up with facial nerve damage under the right eye.Yes a lady who was loved by her clients , and staff at the bank she loved working at for 20 years, transformed from a very happy lady who loved life to a lady who lives of strong prescription drugs, tired of throwing up almost every day and at times wishing she was dead. All dr. Javer could say was when she was healed was l am very pleased with how the surgery healed. O here is the phone number of a good pain specialist . We left his office in shock, what worries me is how many more are out there that have experienced what my wife has experienced.

    I would like to share my sinus story with all patients that suffer from chronic sinusitis. I met with Dr. Javer to discuss fess surgery to help my chronic sinusitis.l had tried every drug from antibiotics to prednisone. Dr Javer assured me that sinus surgery was my only option. I went to get a second opinion from Bellingham Ear ,Nose and Throat l saw Dr. Joost Knops l was shocked when he told me l didn’t need surgery that a new drug called DUPIXENT was now available and would be ideal for me! I have been on DUPIXENT for over a year now and l would call this a Miracle Drug! I got my sense of smell back within 2 WEEKS , after 16 weeks my cat scan went from totally white to black . DUPIXENT had shrunk all my polyps and inflammation to almost to zero . No more antibiotics no more prednisone no more Dr. JAVER This drug has been a life saver for me .

    Our daughter had been suffering from chronic sinus infections for almost ten years , her last round of antibiotics was for 3 months (moxifloxacin), her cat scan showed her improvement was very minimal on the advice of our family doctor surgery her next option was surgery! That is when we first met Dr. Javer,a very confident doctor who had mostly good reviews ( but the bad ones were really bad). He reassured us he was the best in the business and told my daughter how great she would feel after the surgery.So the cost of surgery he said was going to be over $10,000 , but this was our daughter so we said yes.Dr Javer then booked the surgery at False Creek Medical Centre and in 10 days he would do the operation (f.e.s.s) After the surgery that is when everything went down hill fast ,our daughter was in absolute debilitating pain we rushed back to see Dr. Javer who was a completely different doctor he showed absolutely no remorse or compassion he just referred her to a neurologist which would take about a year to get in to see! We immediately went to the states (Seattle) took her to the E. R where she meet with a neurologist and had a M.R.I done all within a couple of hours.The news was bad the damage that Dr. Javer had done was irreversible! We have spent the last year trying to help our daughter everything from anti inflammatory drugs to steroids to migraine injections ,then he tried neurotoxin injections at last some relief. Dr. Javer took our family to a trip to hell and back! If l could sue Dr. Javer l would, this is a doctor that you should avoid at all costs!

    Dr. Javer performed (FESS) surgery on myself for chronic sinusitis at False Creek surgical centre, l trusted him as he was so well spoken and assuring. After the surgery l was left in debilitating pain as doctor Javer had cut nerves in my sinus cavity causing a life long injury.l now receive Botox injections every 10 weeks from a neurologist costing $1200.00 . The Botox paralysis the nerves reducing the pain. Now when l see dr. Javer a see a very different doctor one who is egotistical , non caring and a doctor who could could not give me the time of day. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone.

    Dr. Javer should lose his medical license, he has caused so much pain and suffering ,he is a terrible surgeon with no remorse for the damage he has caused to his patients , he has one of the highest failure rates in the province. So many of his patients end up on Botox injections to control the pain he has caused, shame on you Dr. Javer!
