The Cherry on Top

By VT • December 21, 2018

I was told I have hyperthyroid and referred to Dr. Livhits. My calcium level was high and in surgery Dr. Livhits found hyperparathyroid. I was in surgery for 3 1/2 hours.
The surgery went really well- no swelling, no pain. Dr. Livhits did a great job and I am happy with the outcome.The cherry on top is that no cancer was found!
