    Absolutely incredible. Respectful, kind, and thankfully one of the few doctors who offer Botox for a throat spasm and burp disorder! Finding her saved my quality of life. She¿s very professional and good at what she does. And now I¿m pain free.

    Dr. Breanne Schiffer, MD, was a great surgeon that performed my procedure. She is very friendly and yet very professional and caring. She explained everything that we needed to know in a way that we could understand the procedure, side effects, etc., and gave my husband and I all the time needed to ask questions of her. She treated us with respect and kindness. I will highly recommend anyone needing otolaryngology help to see Dr. Schiffer.
