Ever since I was in middle school, I would get terrible sinus infections (sometimes up to six per year) that would never clear up with antibiotics, steroids, diet changes, or medicated sprays. My primary doctor suggested that I get a CT scan to see what was going on and it turned out I had a severely deviated septum along with other problems found within the structure of my nose (all preventing my nose from properly functioning). Since my primary doctor mentioned I'd likely need surgery to correct the problems with my nose, I began researching online all of the double board certified ENT/ facial plastic surgeons in Arizona. I found Dr. Hobgood online and both his reviews and portfolio were outstanding. After seeing pictures of his work and reading all of his reviews, I knew I wanted Dr. Hobgood to be my surgeon. Dr. Hobgood took a lot of time to go over my case with me (it was a difficult case where most of my nose needed to be reset and restructured). Dr. Hobgood's combination of being extremely knowledgeable and having perfect bedside manner confirmed that he was the one that I wanted doing my procedure, so I went ahead and booked my surgery for a month out. The day of surgery, I was so nervous to go under anesthesia that I couldn't stop sobbing. Dr. Hobgood literally held my hand and calmed me down while my anesthesiologist (Dr. Addessi) put my IV in. Hours after I was out of surgery, Dr. Hobgood even called to check in on me to see how I was doing! I'm a month out now and I'm so glad that I got the septorhinoplasty done. Even though I'm still swollen, I can already breathe better than I could before the surgery and the cosmetic portion of the procedure that he did is pretty incredible. My septum had outgrown the rest of my nose (which caused my nose to be visibly crooked). Dr. Hobgood fixed all of that and gave me what looks like the nose I was supposed to have! I would highly recommend Dr. Hobgood to anyone who's looking to improve the function of their nose or get any elective changes done!
