Patient Reviews
Feb 13, 2024
In 2019, Dr Vakkalanka examined my nose and noticed my Septum was crooked. She asked if I ever injured my nose. I said no. I believe an x-ray was taken that day. She recommended a small surgery to repair my inner nose. I was so tired of blowing my nose and using nasal spray before bed every night, that I was Excited to fix the problem. Early in the morning, Dr Vakkalanka came to explain what to expect as I was lying on the surgical center gurney. She asked how I felt. I asked if it would hurt a lot after surgery. She said no it won't. She previously gave me a prescription for pain pills that I filled at CVS. Nurses brought me into the surgery room with bright lights. Later I opened my eyes & saw I was back in the waiting area where the doctor had talked with me. I asked a nurse, when are they going to do my surgery? She said, they already did your surgery. We're just waiting for your wife to pick you up. I never needed a pain pill & I breathe & sleep great with my 'NEW NOSE'
