As a result of an accident 25 years ago, I have suffered with breathing function and the issues associated with it. Poor drainage, chronic ear aches, asthma related bronchitis, orbital migraines, tooth and palatal discomfort, the list went on. My septum was severely deviated and I wasn't willing to put up with the pain and health problems any longer. I had seen two other surgeons who wanted to do a simple fix surgery, which would not alleviate any of my issues, or make my nasal passages function properly. After my first consultation with Dr. Eric Carniol, I knew he was the right surgeon who could change my life for the better. Dr. Carniol is an excellent surgeon who not only fixed my structural issues the right way, but he also performed additional functional procedures that were never recommended for my health by the other surgeons. Dr. Carniol has an excellent chair side manner, and is skilled in these surgeries. He was also able to calm any anxieties I had about upcoming surgery in a caring manner, and answered all of my questions as well. One month after surgery and I am feeling wonderful. Dr. Carniol has changed my life and I am forever grateful. All of my issues have been either eliminated or decreased drastically. As a bonus, I am not suffering any spring allergies like i usually do. Thank you for making me breathe again. Thank you for making me live again. Breathing is very much taken for granted, except by those who struggle with it. I struggle no more. Thank you. I absolutely recommend Dr. Carniol for any reconstructive surgery. read more
