Patient Reviews
Sep 10, 2019
Dr. Tempero performed my adult tonsillectomy (age 44) and did an AMAZING job with my surgery! He has wonderful bedside manner, he explained everything very well, he has a caring demeanor toward patients, and I had an excellent experience. My recovery was much quicker and much less painless than expected and than others have described the surgery. I could eat, talk and function (while at home recovering of course) the entire time. I would highly recommend him and I am so glad I had the surgery. Since my surgery (I am 12 days post-op), I feel SO much better than I did with my diseased tonsils in place. I am healing very well and eating, sleep, breathing and overall energy and health have been restored. Just an amazing doctor all around! So thankful he was recommended to me!
