I havent been able to breathe through my nose for the better part of 25 years. In the past I had heard from friends that the procedure to repair the septum was painful and wasnt always worth the hassle. I finally decided that being able to breathe and not wake up all night would be worth whatever suffering. I got a referral from a friend to Dr. Paddie and made the appt. The process went very smooth, from scheduling to authorization to surgery. About 1 week total. I had the surgery and I was able to breathe through my nose on day 1. The pain was only moderate, and there was no packing which I had heard was the worst part of this in the past. I had only minimal swelling, no bruising, and I was back to work in a week. I was surprised at how much easier this went than expected. I would definitely recommend Dr Paddie to friends and family.
