Patient Reviews
Mar 20, 2025
My symptoms had progressed to the point where I had limited air passing through my nasal passages and the CT-scan showed a severely deviated septum. I was referred and able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Sapthavee. The on-line reviews of his caring, considerate and personal commitment to his patients were true. His approach to problem solving, systematic. Ultimately, he conducted surgery on my sinuses and septum and the initial relief and being able to “breathe” again, was amazing. As he said, it was just a first step and set me up for a number of post operation visits and coached me on how to maximize the benefits with a home treatment regimen. The results have dramatically improved my quality of life. Truly an amazing, caring doctor with a great staff!!
