Story:
After suffering with chronic sinus problems for over 30 years, I felt it necessary to seek medical attention from a different direction. Following my initial visits to Dr. Sultan, and having an allergy series, I have noticed a tremendous decrease in such symptoms as stuffy nose, sinus infections, psoriasis, gas, coated tongue, heartburn, headaches, and muscle stiffness. I feel much better during the day and evening as well; I pursue my family goals, personal goals, and professional endeavors. The change has been nothing less than remarkable to me over the past two months.
