Sinus infections and headaches had sadly become a part of life for 47-year-old Margaret (Peggy) McClelland.

These chronic ailments always landed her at the doctor’s office, where she would often leave with antibiotics and allergy pills in hopes something would give her a bit of relief. However, after years of medications and treatments, Peggy started to believe no one could help her, until her doctor suggested she schedule an appointment with Dr. Michael Freedman at Lake ENT & Facial Plastic Surgery.

“I did a series of tests and he determined I had a chronic sinus infection, which was causing some other issues,” she says. “Therefore, Dr. Freedman recommended he perform a sinuplasty.”

Before the procedure, Peggy says Dr. Freedman was extremely thorough in explaining what would happen and what to expect

“I consider myself to be a pretty high strung person, and I had never had surgery before. But Dr. Freedman was very soothing and kept me calm,” she says. “Since it’s an in-office procedure, I was awake for it, but Dr. Freedman talked to me the entire time. He was my Jiminy Cricket, telling me everything was going to be fine.”

Almost 48 hours after the surgery, Margaret says she immediately felt relief. And at her post-op appointment two weeks later, everything else checked out fine. “The outcome has been so worth the bit of discomfort I experienced after the sinuplasty,” she says. “Dr. Freedman was great throughout the entire process, and I would recommend him to anybody.”
