Parathyroidectomy with Dr. Livhits
By Kris
I had a wonderful result. My parathyroid levels dropped drastically immediately. I took a week off of work which was probably not necessary but it was made for a nice recovery. My scar is healing very nicely everyone says its hardly noticeable. Dr. Livhits did a fabulous job! Thank you Dr .Livhits!
