Patient Reviews
Jul 21, 2019
I had somnoplasty to reduce a huge tonsil over 15 years ago. The procedure was a success permanently shrinking the tonsil without the trama of traditional surgical removal. Dr. Nelson's professionalism and compassion in resolving this long time condition is still greatly appreciated!
