Andrew D. Beros, M.D.- Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery

This man is an absolute miracle!! I am so so grateful that I somehow got referred to him and his practice by my endocrinologist, randomly enough, thank God :) I had a lump behind my left ear that was growing and growing and becoming more painful as the year had gone on. I went to several other doctors and a dermatologist back home in New Orleans, all of which said it was nothing to worry about, it would go away, it was a cyst, a pimple. No one could give me a straight answer, let alone a proper diagnosis. I was fortunate to relocate to San Diego for work and this man thankfully got referred to me during a endo appointment! I can't express how incredible it felt to have someone PROPERLY diagnose me, to not feel like it was all in my mind and to know it was in fact something that did indeed need to come out. Dr. Beros scheduled me for a paroditidectomy surgery for a few months later. I have never had a surgery before, so I was full of worry and questions. Dr. Beros was absolutely wonderful at putting any worries at ease and by explaining in detail what I should expect during and post surgery. Day of the surgery he came to chat with me several times to ease my worries and took time right before I went under to reassure me all would be fine. The surgery went well, thank God! HE IS AMAZING!! I had no nerve damage or issues AT ALL after surgery. I had a bit of asymmetry the first 2 weeks when trying to smile, but that's to be expected and completely is gone now. I have to say I didn't prepare for how intense of a surgery it was for my recovery. The first week is obviously the most painful/difficult with the headpiece on, not sleeping much and the no showering fully. I loved not being able to chew for a few weeks though, the bonus of the surgery to loose a few pounds too! :) I would honestly say to prepare for a good 3 weeks off to recover, atleast that was my experience. I didn't feel up to much till the 3 week mark (not ideal with a toddler at home!). Getting the headpiece off was definitely one of the best times in my life! :) It was so nice to get that off and wash my hair. Simple pleasures. By 4 weeks I was sleeping back in a bed/on my other side, I was driving and doing most of my usual routine, minus cardio. I also finally felt able to chew normally then too. I recommend getting a wedge pillow for post surgery to sleep upright comfortably. And lots and lots of smoothies. For the first week be sure to have a friend or loved one/spouse around to help you do ...pretty much everything! I so hope this helps someone else who is lucky enough to find this man. He truly is amazing and an absolute Godsent. If I hadn't had this tumor properly diagnosed, it could've turned to a cancer possibly so....I am forever grateful for finding Dr. Beros. You will be too. Best of luck to you!!

Dr. Beros performed surfers ear surgery on me. The surgery came out great, essentially no pain at all after the surgery. I was back in the water just 2 weeks after surgery. He was very professional and set realistic expectations with me. I plan on having him drill my other ear when the time comes.

Incredible Dr! I highly highly recommend him for surfers ear surgery. Micro chisel is an incredible option for those of us w surfers ear. I had zero pain after my surgery and did not have to take one pain pill. Being a surfer for over 30 years I had heard horror stories of the old-style surfers air surgery. I am so glad that I went to Dr Beros. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I am 70 year old surfer. I had suffered from surfer´s ear for years. A friend recommended Dr. Beros and he was absolutely
the perfect surgeon. He has done this type of surgery for years and explained in detail, the process that he uses. First, there was very little pain ever. Second, after only two weeks, I was pretty much good to go. I can´t say enough how happy I am with the outcome. If you suffer with surfer´s ear like I did, he´s your guy.

I do not take time to write reviews, but I was compelled to share my great experience having surgery performed by Dr. Andrew Beros, a very special Doctor. I was apprehensive and concerned, but became totally at peace upon meeting Dr. Beros. He took time to explain the process, answered all my questions and eased my concerns. I was extremely satisfied with the Doctor and his team, all of whom were very professional, skilled and caring. The surgery, results and followup were better than expected. It was one of my best Doctor experiences so I hope sharing it helps others.
