Trying to find a good Dr in my area

I went to one ENT who is willing to take out my tonsils due to chronic tonsil stones, but I just didn't feel comfortable with him. He didn't explain much and seemed to be in a hurry. I've noticed that some of you are from my area MI. If you know of good ENT Dr, please let me know. Thanks

They don't really bother me too much but I can see them in the mirror when I look at my throat. Sometimes I have a very...

Healing and pain process.

do you think healing time and pain process after tonsillectomy hugely depends on how big your tonsils used to be and how and how far they were positioned? i'm starting to think so because i looked at a recovery of someone online and their tonsils weren't that big before they were removed, the area...
