Physician Testimonials

"I have been using the Coblation Wand for tonsillectomies for almost two years. It is a very effective method for performing tonsillectomies in children and adults. There is no question that there is faster postoperative recovery for patients. The anesthesia and recovery room staffs were the first to notice that patients were able to eat and drink sooner and required less pain medicines than with the traditional tonsillectomy method."

"I used to counsel children and their parents that they should expect it to take two weeks for life to return to normal: no pain, normal diet, regular activities," she says. "This technique cuts that recovery period in half."

"Understandably, patients and parents are almost always concerned about the pain associated with tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. In my experience, the Coblation procedure significantly reduces postoperative pain in both adults and children compared to other methods that I've used in the past."
