Provider Review
Dr. Ramineni was very easy going and did a great job. He and the woman at the front, Julie or Julia if I remember correctly, were super friendly and up front about pricing and options. I opted to do this minimally invasive procedure (tracheal shave) with local anesthetics versus general anesthetics where I would be fully unconscious for the procedure. This saved me a pretty hefty sum, and there was minimal discomfort. The most pain I experienced was the anesthetic injections at the beginning. The remainder of the procedure I would describe as mildly uncomfortable, but not painful. I was able to talk at several points throughout the procedure, and was also able to see the results before I was patched back up to make sure I was satisfied with the reduction, which I was on the first go. The recovery was simple and easy. Swelling and pain the day of and the first day after, greatly reduced by day three. I got the surgery on Friday and was able to go to work fully functional and with no obvious signs of a procedure by Monday. I am by no means a professional singer, but I do like to sing in my car. For the first few weeks after the surgery there were parts of my vocal range I simply could not access, and so I was worried that, even though my speaking voice was unaltered, my singing voice would be permanently damaged and limited in range. Dr. Ramineni assured me that this was most likely the result of swelling and inflammation near the site of the procedure which is proximal to the vocal cords. He was right. Within about a month my pipes were back at it in full force. All in all this was a great experience and I am so pleased with the results. Most people didn't notice I had anything done, but I certainly have noticed the changes and have felt a lot more confident since.
