Thyroidectomy Testimonials

• Dr. Allegra January 09

  Well, it's been 2 years, but I have a daily reminder of the thanks that I have for Dr. Allegra's work. 2 years ago, I received a diagnosis on a thyroid nodule that it was indicative of papillary carcinoma. It was a scary time for me. I was referred to Dr. Allegra for a thyroidectomy. From the first moment that I met Dr. Allegra, I felt peace. He was confident, but not overly so, and was compassionate and kind. I had my one year old with me on the first visit and he was very patient with her presence as well.
  
  The day of the surgery went exactly as he'd said it would. The surgery was complete and I headed home. He'd told me that I may not need more than ibuprofen, and it was true. here was very minimal pain - a little discomfort. What most amazed me, though, was the almost absence of a scar. Within 6 months, you could see only the slightest scar. Now, almost 2 years out, people have to be told that there is a scar to see it - and, even then, it requires squinting.

  Dr. Allegra is the total package when it comes to doctors. He's caring, he's confident, and he's very skilled. I'm so thankful that he is the doctor that I was referred to during that time in my life - I couldn't have asked for a more positive experience in the midst of such a difficult situation.
  
  Thank you!
