I flew from Carson City, Nevada to Tulsa, Oklahoma just for Dr. I knew I needed a tonsilectomy and after hearing about my nephew's relatively easy recovery in comparison to the terrifying stories I heard from others, I decided to fly half way across the country just to have my surgery done by Dr. Reeder, APRN Kala, nurses & staff to the hospital staff at Bailey Medical have been AMAZING! They said they would but I didn't expect him/them to actually do so. Dr Reeder, himself, called me to check in the night of surgery and his office called me for the next couple of days after. The stints are not comfortable and after 5 days I was completely annoyed with them but if that's all it takes to get rid of all the prior issues, totally worth it. I have had very little bleeding and ZERO pain. The day of surgery I went in with a huge headache and woke up with none! I resigned myself to having lots of bleeding and pain for a few days after surgery. I have had chronic sinus infections and headaches for years. After a CT scan, he recommended surgery to fix multiple issues. Reeder used a small camera to view my sinuses then replayed it explaining everything he saw. Reeder deserves more than a 5 star review. I am so skeptical about reviews anymore but Dr. It is amazing to be able to make it longer than 2 weeks without ear pain and face pain. The two make one heck of a team and I will continue to make the drive for follow up appointments. Reeder his staff is just as wonderful Jaime has the best personality and is very quick to respond to any emails or phone calls. From the day after my surgery I could tell a huge difference, my family and friends could too, my face was swollen and I hadn’t realized prior to my surgery but as soon as the surgery was over you could tell because it wasn’t puffy anymore. Due to COVID we had to push my surgery out a little longer than expected but we have been able to have my surgery and I have had 2 follow up appointments since then. No one else ever took the time to do any test or scans to see what was wrong and he did. He also addressed the pain in my face and let me see on camera from my own nose why I was hurting my sinuses were completely blocked on one entire side. I said I'm not sure he said you will not leave today with medicine because I don't know what I am treating so cleaned my ear and took a culture and in a couple days Jaime called with my results and a prescription to get started on. He said how could they tell you had an infection if they didn't culture it. He laughed and said no you are not crazy at all. I remember saying to him “I’m not crazy” because I was getting to the point that doctors thought I was just making up my symptoms. Before I left that first visit we already had a game plan on how he was going to help me breathe again and fix my ear pain. This was the first time he ever saw me and right away knew what was wrong. He was amazed that no one had been able to tell me what was wrong and how we were going to fix everything. So we drove almost 3 hours for my first visit with Dr. I would explain that the left side of my face hurt as well as the pain and no one even mentioned anything about my face. I would have ear pain every month was going to walk in clinics like clock work each month to be told I had an inner ear infection here is some medicine. I talked to my husband and he said it’s worth a shot because no one here is helping you. After 5 years and multiple doctors in my home state I did some research and read his reviews. If you are in need of an ENT he is the one I would recommend 1000 times. I highly recommend him with no reservation or hesitation. Then see Dr Reeder in four weeks later., this dr is a GREAT one. I will have my stints removed on day six with his PA. The first three day’s were tough but day four showed signs of relief as well as day five. The next day the hospital and Dr Reeder’s staff checked on me. He made sure we were doing good and if we needed anything he was the one to call. He personally called to check on me at home that night after my surgery. Dr Reeder came in and we talked about everything again and headed for surgery. I guess your nose doesn’t always bleed when you break it like I had always heard. He said surgery would fix my deviated septum ( broken nose ) that I didn’t even know I had. I never felt like he was in a hurry with me. Reeder and we went over my CT scan explaining everything in detail and answering any questions. The rinses or spray did very little to help. I was having tooth pain and my dentist said nothing was wrong with my teeth. I was told to do rinses for six weeks along with some allergy spray and an appointment for a CT scan and follow up in six weeks. She put a camera up my nose and said I had some bad sinus issues. in my network and was set up with Dr Reeder. He is very kind has GREAT bedside manners.
