In so many words, Dr. Manger dramatically changed my life for the better. He performed the RhinAer procedure on me in May and it has completely changed my sinus function. I got my first cold recently, and instead of lasting 3-4 weeks, it only lasted a few days. I feel significantly happier as a result. I have spent 36 years with absolutely miserable sinus issues and no ENT has taken me seriously. Dr. Manger treated me with seriousness and care right away, and made me feel very comfortable. I am grateful for him and his team and recommend him to everyone!

I was treated with care and respect every step of the way. Staff knew what to do and how to do it, and still had time to share pleasantries. The nurse who helped me was especially kind. I was putting on a brave face but I was really nervous. She held my head still, reminded me to breathe and held my hand. What an angel! Dr Manger is a prince. He is very skilled, of course, and he has a great personality and sharp sense of humor. I really appreciate his human touch. Thanks for an excellent outcome and experience.

I came to see Dr. Manger about what I thought was a polyp in my nose, causing me a bit of difficulty in breathing. I also told Dr. Manger, "I understand that I'm now the old lady with a tissue up her sleeve, but I don't like it!" Dr. Manger looked up into my nose, then inserted 2 cotton swabs, one in each nostril. He asked me to let him know when I can breathe better. I didn't have to let him know, becasue all of a sudden, my eyes got big and I could breathe SO much better! He looked at me and said that I don't have to be the old lady with the tissue, and that I can breathe better with two simple office procedures, VivAer and RhinAer. I didn't have to have a big surgery, little recovery time, AND THAT MY LIFE WON'T BE TIED TO A TISSUE BOX!! I literally cried in his office! I couldn't believe it.


Zane K. | Jan 14, 2024
pic

I had the VivAer procedure done in August. It was pain-free, the recovery wasn't much at all, and I could breathe without any hindrance almost immediately. I didn't realize how restricted my breathing was!


Jaime K.| Jan 12, 2024
pic

I counted down the days until my RhinAer procedure. Once again it was pain-free, the recovery is easy, and I can tell that my nose is already running less. It's only been a week!


Preston P.| Jan 12, 2024

Dr. Manger and his wonderful nurse, Lizzy explained everything in easy-to-understand terms and were focused on my comfort throughout the entire process.


Melvin P.| Jan 10, 2024

You may think you're getting a full breath, but I bet you're not!!! Check out VivAer! No more tissues up my sleeve, in my pockets, or in the laundry! Thanks RhinAer and Advanced Specialty Associates!!
