For nearly a year I've had ongoing sinus issues, sensation of something stuck in my troat, difficulty breathing, dizziness, blurred vision, radiating rippling pinched nerve senation and feeling of being hit on the side of my head with a bat every 10 to 15 seconds.

Prior to seeing Dr. Gillespie, I had been to the ER, primary doctor, urgent care and dentist for help. I spent most of 2014 on steroids and 2000 MG of ammox daily. Without the benefit of relief I went into the ENT. I personally expected to hear nothing was wrong bc that's all I had heard previously. Within minutes he diagnosed me with Eagle Syndrome. After scans, many tests and other doctors we finally came to conclusion that extraction was needed.

This past Monday each side was removed, as well as both tonsils. I had read how horrible the procedure is for people my age 33 can be extremely difficult to recover. I'm on day 5 of recovery and feel absolutely incredible! The best I've felt in FOREVER!! I felt better even before leaving the hospital. My ears don't hurt and sounds are no longer painful, and my eyes feel strong!

I'm so grateful for Dr. Gillespie. There are no amount of words that can express how thankful I really am! He's a true blessing!
