Following are comments from patients of the Becker Nose & Sinus Center. They are not screened; they represent honest post-care comments:

• Dr. Becker operated on my sinuses approximately 4 months after a local surgeon did the same. The post-op care was superb, and my symptoms were much improved compared to after my first surgery.

• Dr. Becker was wonderful. He thoroughly explained the procedure and other options I had. Now, even if I'm sick, I'm able to breathe out of my nose. I was never able to before surgery.

• One of the best things I did for myself in years. I feel like a new person. No more sinus headaches. Thanks.

• So glad I finally did it! Thank you Dr. Becker.

• I have not had any serious coughing problems anymore, since seeing Dr. Becker. Thank you. Doctor Becker found that I had GERD and put me on medication for this. I have taken this medicine and since then have only had a few sinus infections. I had a sinus infection constantly for 4 years before -- I am very thankful.

• Even though I still suffer with chronic sinus problems, surgery significantly improved my health and daily life. I am grateful that Dr. Becker performed my sinus surgery.

• Before treatment I never realized how often I used to breathe through my mouth. Now my mouth is shut more often. I can sleep with my mouth shut. It looks better too. You rock, Dr. Becker.

• Surgery worked. Thank you.

• Since this was my first surgery, Dr. Becker was wonderful! I was very comfortable with his diagnosis and treatment. I would definitely go back for any future problems.

• I went to another doctor and had a CT scan of the head and sinuses. Surgery was recommended. I went to Dr. Becker for a second opinion; Dr. Becker recommended no surgery. I took his advice and am pleased. Medical treatment has been effective for me.

• The septoplasty was highly effective.

• My headaches were very severe and I saw every doctor I could think of until I met Dr. Becker, who treated my sinuses and deviated septum with medicine and surgery. I still take medication daily, but now I feel much better.

• I feel Dr. Becker literally saved my life as I was using nose spray every hour to hour and a half. I had seen many doctors before (since 1970) and none had ever helped. A big thanks to Dr. Becker!

• Dr. Becker has always been very patient, kind and understanding. I feel very comfortable seeing him.

• After this surgery, I no longer snore (according to my wife) and my nose is no longer congested. Dr. Becker is my hero!

• I had been accidentally hit in the nose, after which I had difficulty breathing through my nose. Over-the-counter decongestants were not effective. After seeing Dr. Becker, I felt more comfortable about a septoplasty to relieve the problem, as the medicines that he prescribed prior to surgery relieved the sinus pressure a little but not totally (about 5 on a scale of 10). I am very satisfied with Dr. Becker's professionalism, and I would certainly recommend him!

• Since my sinus surgery both my nose and my head have been 95% more clear. I used to feel as if my head were full of something! No more!

• It was a pleasure being treated by Dr. Becker. I would highly recommend him -- in fact, I have to several people at work.

• Dr. Becker has treated both me and my husband. He is the best!

• I would not hesitate to do this surgery again; it feels as if I was given part of my life back again.

• I am extremely pleased with the care and treatment I have received from Dr. Becker. He is a kind and caring doctor. I would recommend him to anyone.

• Dr. Becker's exam and care were exceptional. Medical treatment was adequate to mitigate my symptoms. I would highly recommend him.

• I was very pleased with Dr. Becker. Before surgery I had headaches almost daily and continuous sinus infections.

• Since surgery, I have had only 2 minor sinus headaches (both within the first month post-surgery) and no infections. I still use saline mist almost daily but the nasal steroid spray only every 2 or 3 days. I recommend Dr. Becker to everyone who complains to me about constant sinus infections or headaches.

• Since Dr. Becker did my surgery, I require no antibiotics for the first time in years. I can breathe freely. I feel 100% better.

• Dr. Becker treated me with care and understanding. He seems to care about patients and tries to answer all their questions.

• After suffering from chronic sinus infections, I couldn't be more pleased with my surgery. I haven't had one sinus infection since surgery! Dr. Becker was personable and made me feel very comfortable before, during and after surgery.

• He is a great doctor, and I thank him.

• Prior to seeing Dr. Becker, I had had 3 sinus surgeries with little to no success. The problem would persist and I would constantly have headaches, congestion, night sweats, etc… I truly feel that Dr. Becker improved my quality of life with the 4th (and hopefully the last!) sinus surgery. In the four years since his surgery, I have had 1 sinus infection, and I am fine taking the occasional allergy pill or nasal steroid spray on a bad day. I will be forever grateful for his expertise.

• Personal connection excellent. Headache problem seemingly solved, praised be!

• I have seen 100% improvement since my surgery.

• I broke my nose and Dr. Becker set it. He was professional, prompt, and has my full recommendation.

• I would recommend Dr. Becker to anyone with sinus problems. I tell everyone about my great outcome.

• I would, and have, recommended Dr. Becker as a surgeon. I had excellent results, and now I rarely have a sinus infection or bronchitis. I should have had surgery sooner. Dr. Becker's demeanor, and explanations of surgery and help that I could expect, were precise and correct. Teaching me how to manage my sinus condition was most important. I can breathe again thanks to Dr. Becker. 100% successful treatment.

• Dr. Becker has provided me with a normal lifestyle with medical advice and medication, which is greatly appreciated. No more daily headaches -- once in a while sinus headaches due to weather conditions. I don't snore anymore. Surgery was successful for me.

• My sinus problems have much improved since Dr. Becker's surgery. I occasionally have a sinus headache or infection. If I take the meds right away it doesn't last too long. I was very pleased with my care from Dr. Becker. I referred my daughter and niece to him for surgery.

• My surgery was truly a success! I would be on antibiotics every 10 weeks prior. Now, 2 years later, I've experienced only 4 or 5 minor infections.
