"In March of this year I had endoscopic sinus surgery and a septoplasty done at Dr. Girgis and Associates in Hinsdale, IL. I had sinus problems and trouble breathing my entire life and finally decided to do something about it. Every spring and fall I would get sinus pressure build-up in my head and a constant runny nose for weeks at a time. After my surgery with Dr. Girgis, I had no problems this spring and no problems in the fall. I can't believe the difference in my breathing, I can finally breathe through my nose, it seems for the first time. The entire experience was life changing. The staff is experienced and very polite. My only regret is that I didn't have the surgery years sooner."

"I have been a patient at Drs. Girgis and Associates since 1999, I have had two different surgeries performed by Dr. Girgis. He has truly changed my well-being. I am able to breathe clearer, sinus infections are no longer a problem, I don't get chronic sore throats and infections anymore. The staff is wonderful. I have had visits with both doctors and the nurse practitoner, and all visits were well worth it. Also, the convenience of a CT machine on site makes a difference, I didn't have to go elsewhere for another appointment"

" Since my youth, I have suffered from chronic sinus infections. Finally, in my 30's I met with one or two ENT doctors. I found their recommendations to be unacceptable, time consuming and costly. Early in 2006, a friend recommended Dr. Girgis, who had corrected his wife's problems. Dr. Girgis immediately identified the problem and in August of 2006, I underwent nasal surgery. Shortly, after a brief healing period, I was amazed at how easy it was to breathe through my nose. Now, four years later, when I get a cold, I can still breathe through my nose and do not suffer from sinus infections, pressure or discomfort. I am extremely satisfied to have been one of the many recipients of Dr. Girgis's medical expertise."

"I would like you to know how happy I am with the results of my surgery. Your staff was very kind and they made me feel comfortable during my doctor visits, preparing for my surgery, and after my surgery. I could barely breathe out of my nose due to the deviated septum and the clogged sinuses, but once I recovered after my surgery, I felt amazing. Now I am getting great rest with no headaches. I would recommend you to anyone because you did an incredible job on my surgery and now I am able to breathe again! I appreciate all the work you have done. Thank you and your staff for helping me!"

"A couple of years back, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, confirmed by two sleep studies at the Girgis Sleep labs. After using the CPAP machine for about 6 months, I elected to proceed with corrective surgery with Dr Girgis. The pain immediately following the surgery was at times intense. After a few days, the pain was tolerable with pain medication and anesthetic throat spray. If I would go back to a year ago, knowing what I know now, I would make the very same choice about having surgery. The quality of sleep is significantly improved, and I feel completely rested and relaxed upon awakening."
