Stephanie – Grateful Patient of Dr. David Kriet

Nasal Deformity/Deviated Septum

I was experiencing some severe discomfort and health issues due to some previous injuries. The problem with my nose started with injuries which occurred when I was in pre-school and, again, while playing basketball in middle school. I had a surgical repair when I was a teenager but over time, the bridge of my nose had collapsed and I wasn't getting much air through my nose at all. I had a deviated septum and the bridge of my nose had collapsed. It was difficult to wear eyeglasses due to the deformity and I was bothered by the appearance of my nose and really did not like to have my picture taken. 

I decided to see Dr. Kriet to address these issues. Dr. Kriet performed the surgery and I was pleased to find that I was breathing much better after just five days! The surgery itself was not as painful as I expected. The area of my rib where he borrowed bone to repair my nose bothered me more than the nose surgery itself.  I am now breathing a whole lot better and am looking much better too.  I am more confident when having photos taken and I feel better about myself and the way I look. Dr. Kriet has been wonderful to work with. He is always friendly and he makes sure that things are explained really well.  He always makes sure that I follow up and it is easy to call the office if I have questions. Dr. Kriet, you are the BEST!
