I was incredibly nervous when it came to getting my septal perforation repaired. Dr Kridel and all of his staff were supportive and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. They were able to answer all my questions and made sure I understood everything happening in terms of recovery and healing.

I came in looking for something subtle and incredibly well done, and the whole process was better than I expected. I find myself forgetting I got anything done, and it really is just the right amount of change and making my nose look its best.
