Dear Sir,
Assalamoalaikum,
When I was a medical student at Dow Medical College, there was an excellent young surgeon Dr. Mervyn Hossain (spelling may not be correct) in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery of Civil Hospital, Karachi. If possible, please visit him and I hope he will be of help to you.
May Allah give you shifa, aameen.
