Patient Reviews
Aug 22, 2024
Dr. Kent woke me up after surgery, beaming with joy. 'Take a deep breath,' he said. Now a few days later, I am still soaking the joy of oxygen in this new ability to fill my lungs to their full capacity. Dr. Kent explained that he had removed the goiter that the right side of my thyroid had become, which was almost the size of his fist. It had been blocking the airway in my neck, therefore preventing me from taking a full breath. I hadn't realized what I was missing out on until now... told the nurse I can't wait to see how many more strokes I can get in between breaths when I swim my laps. As an added bonus, I now have a better sense of smell. Swallowing my vitamin pill each morning had been uncomfortable to say the least, but now it just goes right down the hatch. It is very clear that Dr. Kent is quite wise, skilled with the scalpel, straight forward to the point and professional. It is also very clear that he genuinely cares for his patients. I am so grateful!
