Prior to coming here, I had a hard time swallowing solid food. It felt like I was choking. It turned out I had large nodules.

Dr. Sarah Kim sent me to Dr. Yeh and I had surgery. It went well. I stayed overnight and then went home. I had some pain and nausea. Since then I occasionally feel uncomfortable and feel like I am missing the high notes in my speech. Dr. Yeh says that will go away in a few weeks.

I am very happy with Dr. Yeh. Overall, he did a very good job,
