Patient Reviews
Aug 05, 2024
Dr. Kern and his team did an amazing job with my septoplasty and tonsillectomy surgeries. He warned me that recovery would be tough but reassured me that he’s done these procedures many times. I was convinced that Dr. Kern would do a great job and I also didn’t want to go through two surgeries. Recovery was rough for the first week but the pain and discomfort were manageable with the prescribed meds. I did everything his team instructed me to do and no longer needed medications after the 5th day. My 1 week post op follow up went well. Dr. Kern removed my nasal splints and I’ve been able to breathe ever since. Thank you Dr. Kern and team for doing an amazing job!
