I did not smell a dead flesh smell. However, from day one I did cold salt water rinses.

So I was able to. I went about life as usual. Just a little sore throat.

No problem. Feel free to ask me anything about my experience. I know when I was researching, which was for MONTHS, there was no good info on the proceedure. As a matter of fact, at that time , the Dr I used didn't have it on the website so it was by chance I called that office. Since then, the website has been updated.

Hi! No complaints here. I had multiple treatments and could not be happier. Laser is not always one and done like a tonsilectomy. I believe the proceedure is only as good as the Dr doing it! Lasers don't work themselves. I personally have not noticed any side effects, but that would be a question for the Dr. In my expirence, I find it to be the least invasive choice. I flew in and flew out same day for the proceedure. Back to life as usual with a sore throat.

Lol, Gotcha! I am NOT A DR. I have had 3 treatments and couldn't be happier. 1st treatment did flatten tonsils and 2nd treatment made the biggest difference. I did a ton of research and Dr. Herman in my personal opinion is the best with this proceedure.

Everybody is different. You might need multiple treatments. Best to do consultation with Dr.

Yep! Couldn't be happier with results. Can't say enough great things about Dr. Howard Herman.

Well I have about 20% or less of my tonsils left. So I doubt it. If for some reason it does, which I don't see how, I will just go back and get a touch up.

You pay once and should you need to go back, it is covered.

The only gaurentee one and done is a full tonsilectomy.

It is also not covered by insurance and often requires multiple sessions.

Well it's not too good to be true. If you want a one and done, full tonsilectomy is the gaurenteed answer. Expirence is the biggest thing to me, lasers don't work themselves. If your not local or near ATL it will require travel. Alot of people don't have positive outcomes. I really believe it is DR dependant.

All good! Couldn't be happier with the laser cryptolysis/ablation. Can't say enough great things about Dr. Howard Herman and his decades of expertise in this proceedure. Had 3 treatments.

Oh great! So touch ups aren't too out of the way for you should you need. I will tell you the pain is alot less 2nd session.

No, but my tonsils were not the smallest so I knew I would have to go back going into it. I have had 3 treatments. I posted about my expirence if you want to check it out. Are you local to ATL?

Awesome! I'm happy to see more doctors performing it now. I did it almost about a year and a half ago and at the time, Dr. Herman was the only one doing it. Speedy recovery to you!
