Dr Hellmann covered for [...]. I was one week post surgery and struggling with congestion, had contracted a bad sinus infection and was nervous about how to clean my nasal passages due to confusion with instructions. Dr Hellmann cleared my nasal passages and gave me clear instructions about home care. He also prescribed a steroid and anti biotic and after 24 hours I feel much improved.
