I had questioned her about the uptake and asked her if she could see how the piraform sinus looked during the examination. This doctor is one that works with our ENT who thankfully arrived the day before our first visit with her. We at first were very apprehensive, thinking we had a trainee that was going to do the laser surgery on his vocal cord. (She looked like she was 20 and weighed under 100 pounds.) We switch off seeing her and the ENT every month and our ENT told us that if he had done the surgery my husband would not have had near the voice that he has now. She is considered the "Voice Doctor" so we are very fortunate for the team of doctor we have had.
After reading this I was afraid I offended her but my husband thought I took it the wrong way also. I still think it is a strange way to word things!!!
