A tonsillectomy is a very common and routine procedure to remove the tonsils at the back of the throat. This procedure may be necessary if the patient suffers from breathing problems or chronic tonsilitis. Luckily, a tonsillectomy only takes about 20-30 minutes to perform and most patients can return home the same day. If you believe you or your child may need a tonsillectomy, we recommend that you schedule an appointment with us.
