December 27, 2006	Learn more about K.B.	My hands and armpits have been completely dry. My hands are so warm and soft – I love it!!... Dr. Reisfeld is a very straightforward and honest doctor. He was very professional and he was available whenever I had a question or concern after my surgery.

April 5, 2006	Read Joe's testimonial	Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You have changed my life- giving me freedom!
December 21, 2005	View Testimonial	Ever since I could remember, I’ve lived with sweaty hands and feet.  When I was about five years old, I felt I was the only one in the world with such a condition.  The sweating as I got older, got worse.
December 19, 2005	View Testimonial	It has been 3 months since my surgery and I am happy to report that my hands, armpits and feet are completely dry.  Since the surgery I have not had one instance of sweaty hands or armpits, even when I work out excessively.
September 30, 2005	Jill M.	Thank you doesn’t even begin to express how grateful I am to you after having the ETS surgery done in August.  It has changed my life in so many ways.  Now, knowing what it is like to live with sweat-free hands and armpits, I could not imagine going back to the old ways.  I had the surgery done almost two months ago and things are going great.  My hands are 100% sweat-free and my armpits are 90-95% sweat-free.
July 29, 2005	EU.	This thank you is long over-due, but heartfelt.  It has been seven months since my ETS procedure and I still am in awe that you were able to eliminate my burdensome hand sweating.  Ever since I was 5 years old I can remember dealing with the annoying and intrusive problem of sweaty hands.  I managed to succeed in sales despite the problem, but I felt as if I always had to work twice as hard to make a good first impression since a "wet fish" handshake always gave the impression that I was nervous.
June 10, 2005	Amy T.	I can’t thank you enough for the new life you have given me since I came in to have the Sympathectomy/Endoscopic procedure completed. It has been almost a month now, and the procedure has definitely been tested since I�fve been back in Phoenix.
June 9, 2005	Jaclyn L.	I had my sympathectomy in August of 2003, so it?s been almost 2 years! I just can?t thank you enough for changing my life. I feel free. I no longer feel self-conscious in work or social situations and I don?t have to choose my clothes and shoes specifically for my ?condition?. I had gotten to a point where I was used to living with it and I did not know any different, but now, knowing a completely normal life, is just such a pleasure.
May 28, 2005	Rowan L.	I am now another happy patient writing to you.  I want to thank you whole-heartedly for your expertise and professionalism during the entire process.  I feel ever grateful to have found you and your wonderful staff.  If there was ever one thing I know I did right, it was weighing my options and doing my research well.  And, of course, choosing you to perform my surgery.
Jan. 14, 2005	Jorel A.	I called and met with some of your past patients. Absolutely satisfied with their own outcome, they encouraged me to go ahead with it.
Dec. 13, 2004	Michael	Your ETS treatment is the most effective and lasting procedure I have tried. It has changed my life and lifestyle.
Nov. 8, 2004	Maria L.	For as long as I can remember I have been embarrassed by my sweaty hands. I never imagined there could be a permanent cure for my condition ...
Oct. 20, 2004	Nancy W.	I can't stop rubbing my hands together. It's such a great feeling! Thank you and Thank you again! Wish I had done this years ago.
Aug 23, 2004	LM, MD	Words cannot express the "burden" that has been lifted from me... I had suffered from hyperhidrosis of the hands for twenty-five years. I hope to one day to become, at least half of, the physician you are today.
July 8, 2004	Eric	Thanks to you, my only wish in the entire word, that I thought was not humanly possible, has come true.
June 16, 2004	Kelly	Many people were shocked to find that having sweaty hands would push me to surgery...but none of them had a comparable experience...I am so grateful that I don't have to worry about these stressful situations anymore.
May 11, 2004	A.J.	The results of my surgery are fantastic. It is so wonderful to not have to worry about shaking someones hand or wonder if I have sweat stains under my armpits.
Dec 10, 2003	Joanna C.N. Sutton	Since my treatment my life has dramatically changed. I no longer sweat from my hands and the sweat from my feet has also decreased tremendously. Your surgery has improved my quality of life dramatically. Your surgery has enabled me wear sandals where as prior to the surgery I was limited to wearing enclosed shoes.
Dec 10, 2003	Tracy McBride	Dr. Reisfeld, the Sunday following the surgery I went to church and as soon as they called everyone to come in the prayer line I was the first to go, but they did not hold hands. The following Sunday I went and guess what - we held hands. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your professionalism in the way that you explained everything to me.
July 3, 2003	Philip Gallant	Kristen was operated on twice by another doctor in New York and neither operation alleviated the problem, and the surgeries were far more difficult to recover from. You were her last hope and you changed her life! I have never been so happy to be able to do something like this for one of my children.
June 25, 2003	Carolyn Boitano	I am still in awe every single day at the miracle of my dry hands. I have been able to go back to church without the anxiety of having to shake or hold hands during the service. I happily hold the hands of my third graders and shake hands with their parents with confidence.
April 29, 2003	Sarah Grosel	I am graduating from college in May and went through the interviewing process with a lot more ease as a result of surgery.
April 27, 2003	Craig Webster	The operation went smoothly and I had little post- operative discomfort. I can't believe I have dry hands after all these years. It was the best money I ever spent.
April 25, 2003	Peggy Perceful	I would also like to thank all of your staff for such a pleasant experience. They were very friendly and helpful from the first time that I made a phone call to your office up to the time in the recovery room. Everyone made me feel very comfortable and well taken care of.
April 25, 2003	Gil Lapastora	This procedure will change your life ? it?s changed mine. I'm in marketing and advertising and am in front of people regularly. Needless to say, I?m more approachable, less timid, and overall confident.
April 6, 2003	Marcia Etheridge	I can now hold a conversation with people I don't know and not look like I'm dying of embarrassment.
April 2, 2003	A. Perlmutter	This is nothing short of a miracle. After 55 years of sweaty palms, I am a new man.
April 1, 2003	Anthony DiFranco	I've been to too many doctors before, so I know how staff and personnel can act, but I just want to say all of your help there was the best I've ever had.
Mar 30, 2003	Ali	I read an article in last week's Wall Street Journal that calls this procedure "controversial"... that may be, but in my own experience it was an unmitigated success and an absolute life-changing experience.
Mar 29, 2003	Maria Keller	When we go to church I don't have to worry about my hand drenched in sweat, when we exchange the peace to one another. Thank you so much and May God bless you.
Mar 10, 2003	Hauwa Ko	Again, I just want to thank God for your service to many people that are suffering with "Hyperhidrosis".
Mar 1st, 2003	Michelle Spreuer	I would also like to Thank Dr. Reisfeld he is the absolute kindest doctor I have ever met; he really seems to care about his patients.
Feb 17, 2003	James Griffin	As trivial as it may seem to some, it was exciting for me to be able to hold my girlfriends hand for the first time, free of anxiety that she would feel uncomfortable with the palmar ocean of sweat that would inevitably result.
Jan 7, 2003	Brittany Carrier	I was amazed at how you continually called after surgery to see how I was doing. It is obvious that you care about the well being of your patients.
Dec 12, 2002	L E Public Relations	How amazing it is to type this letter without leaving puddles on my computer keyboard. I suffered from hyperhidrosis since birth, and found myself constantly apologizing for my sweaty hands.
Nov 3, 2002	J L	It has been a long time since last contacting you. I had the T2 ETS for my facial/cranial hyperhydrosis back in July of 1997. I have moved on with my life and am now to the point that hyperhydrosis is something in my past...
Oct 7, 2002	Steven Palumbo Atty. at Law	You gave me a frank, honest assessment, of the risks and rewards, not once but twice. You supplied me with an excellent, authoritative, medical journal article on this procedure. You personally explained the procedure to me, with full color graphics.
Sept 3, 2002	Brooke Gillen 10 yrs old	I can play piano without making a puddle on the keys, and I can do papers at school without making them wet. I can't thank you and everyone else that helped me enough!!!
July 11, 2002	Ligaya H. Buchbinder, M.D. M.D Dermatologist	My knowledge as a dermatologist led me to the best procedure and to the best doctor.
July, 2002	Christy Weber Photos Included	Prior to having the surgery, the splotchy redness used to go all the way up to my cheeks, where as now it usually stays below the collarbone, if it comes at all.
June 20, 2002	Frank Volinsky	Now when I meet people I don't have to worry about my hands being sweaty, or if I am going on a date I now have the confidence to hold her hand and not have to worry about my hands dripping with sweat.
June 6, 2002	Murdo Mackenzie Family of 5 Doctors	You may recall I was the patient who had 5 doctors in the family who were all very apprehensive about the procedure, especially my father...
May 21, 2002	Andrea	I have started taking dance classes, something I probably would have avoided before the surgery. I would highly recommend you and your clinic to anyone suffering with sweaty hands. I only wish I would have known about it sooner in life.
Feb 25, 2002	Shayne Wilson	I genuinely feel that I have finally broken free of my physical and psychological confinements caused by hyperhidrosis and it is exhilarating to breathe the fresh new air of freedom!
Oct 31, 2001	Mary DeShon	I want to again express how delightful it has been to not have sweaty palms! It has been 2 months since you did the surgery on me and my 16 year old son.
Oct 26, 2001	Lena Furmark	Each time I shake someone's hand I will remember all of you. Thank you
Oct 22, 2001	Renee' L. Bissonnette Registered Nurse	I wanted to also convey to you how impressed I was with your staff. Being a medical professional myself, I know how crucial this can be to a patient's experience. From anesthesiology to recovery, all of your staff members were wonderful. You ought to be quite proud of them all! They too all deserve a thank you.
Oct 18, 2001	Teresa Wymetalek	Thank you so much for changing my life! If someone would have told me six months ago that my hands would be sweat free today, I wouldn't have believed them. Its like a dream come true.
Oct 08, 2001	Connie Sorrentino	The surgery went well and my recovery was rapid, despite my being on the older end of the spectrum - 58 years old. I was favorably impressed that you called me twice the day of the surgery to see how I was doing, and you also called me each succeeding day until I departed for home.
June 05, 2001	Nancy Brown	I have been on several job interviews, and have jumped at the chance to shake hands with the interviewers, which in the past has always been such an embarrassment for me. I believe my life would have been so different if I hadn't been born with HH. But none of that matters now, because I can now do all the things I have put off in the past without thinking about my hands!
June 02, 2001	Ross H. Grossman	I had the clipping procedure. I went into surgery with wet hands and out with dry! There was a little pain as was suggested and a little moisture a few days later. That was it! Before the surgery I came out of the closet sort of speak and let all of my friends and family know what I was doing. The after-effects have been tremendous!
May 15, 2001	Brent Drummond	I also want to tell you that I have had some neat opportunities to spread the word about Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy as a result or appearing on "Inside Edition" and doing the story on my experience with Hyperhidrosis. People from around the world, literally, saw that episode and have called me to talk with me and have their questions answered about the procedure in the same way I did with others before going through with the surgery.
May 13, 2001	Suzanne Kulaga	I went through many treatments to try to cure my sweating problem. I tried a liquid that I can't remember the name, then Drionic, which was a machine that sent small electric volts into my hands.
May 3, 2001	Mark Egge	I cannot express how grateful I am to this doctor and his staff. Dr.Reisfeld indeed performs miracles. I have a new life. Thanks again!
April 22, 2001	Maria Mathews	I would like to thank you again for curing my hpyerhidrosis. I can now type on the computer, play the viola, and to many more things without leaving whatever I touched covered with sweat!
April 10, 2001	Elizabeth N	It's like a dream come true. After 18 years of my life with this hyperhidrosis I can finally be at ease.
Mar 24, 2001	Peter Eichberg	I have had to many surgeries over the past 30 years, some from the finest surgeons in Los Angeles. None ever took the time to assure me or follow up as you did with my son.
Jan 9, 2001	Andrea McCabe	In my opinion it?s all about getting the right person, and I believe God leaded me to you Dr. Reisfeld, as you showed to be not only an excellent professional but also someone who takes personal care on his patients after the surgery.
Nov 19, 2000	Kevin	I have done three presentations, gone to parties, led meetings, met old friends and not sweat on my face. It is such a great feeling and relief. The only individuals to truly understand would be those people who experience hyperhidrosis.
Nov 19, 2000	Ronald C. Talbot PH.D. Labratory Director County Health Dept	As a medical scientist I would like to report to you my observations during this year and express my gratitude to you for performing a successful surgery that has changed 50 years of embarrassment and inconvenience due to sweaty hands. I only wish that this surgery had been available forty years ago.
Nov 23, 1998	Daniel L. Kessler	Socks are still required when I wear shoes, but if I wear socks my feet will not sweat at all and therefore my socks no longer are sopping wet at all times. My feet no longer get cold either.
Dec 8, 1998	Anne M. Bastian	Not only did Dr, Reisfeld rid me of my uncomfortable symptoms, but, he gave me something I never had before, Confidence!!
January 5, 1998	Elly Steese	I was surprised at how fast the surgery was completed, and also at how easy the recovery was. In fact, this surgery was just about the best Christmas present I could have received, and it made my holiday season that much better.
March 6, 1998	Link	As I few to Los Angeles I kept telling myself that I wouldn't go through with this operation if I was not comfortable with the entire situation. Dr. Reisfeld and his team are truly exceptional and I hope that I might bring some light to others who may be feeling like I did.
1998	Marie Leszczyna	Please note that I initially planned to go to Sweden for ETS surgery, I chose Dr. Reisfeld for the following reasons...
