READ THIS REVIEW AND EDUCATE YOURSELF ON TISSUE WELDING, or thermal fusion with an instrument called ENTceps, before you choose another surgeon besides Dr. Milligan for your tonsillectomy. You will thank me, send flowers to me, probably give me your first born....you get the point.
As I write this, I am staying overnight at a hospital following Dr. Milligan's triple hitter performed earlier today on me: I underwent a Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP or UP3 "sleep apnea surgery"), tonsillectomy, and turbinate reduction. I am 33 years old, and my recovery time frankly should be weeks. Everyone knows that an adult tonsillectomy is bloody, painful, and not without serious risk. Yet, I am already weaning off of narcotic drugs and speaking with minimal pain- In the same day as my surgical procedures! How????? Because of Dr. Milligan's use of thermal fusion as a technique for tissue removal.
It is criminal that not all ENTs are using this less evasive and superior methodology. Currently, Dr. Milligan is the only ENT doc in AZ using it!!! On top of his innovative approach to his craft and clear commitment to stay abreast of the latest technology available to his patients, he is a competent and compassionate surgeon without the typical ego you see in surgeons. :) As an attorney who works with lots of doctors, it is refreshing for me to meet a professional who cares as much as Dr. Milligan cares and who exercises such patience with people who put their lives in his hands.
Do yourself a favor and SEE DR. MILLIGAN!!! One reviewer criticized his office and gave a poor review, but who cares?! What matters is Dr. Milligan's incredible competence and use of thermal fusion.
I will update this review in a week or so once I've had more time to heal but unreservedly, 5 stars. read more
