Thanks For Your Help When I Needed It.

Back in December of 2008 you installed a trach in my neck while I was being treated for pneumonia in Presbyterian Matthews Hospital. I thought you would like to know I have had many other doctors comment at how well this was done, and how it has healed better than any they have ever seen before.

You Literally Saved My Life

I was a patient of Dr. McClelland from 2003 until 2006. He operated on my nasal polyps in May, 2003. He said my case was classic; the worst he had ever seen. After surgery, he treated me to keep the polyps form returning. He tried several things until settling down on the medication I still take today. I thank God for him (Jennifer too), for his care and compassion, and especially for the way he diligently followed up with varying treatments until finally releasing me in 2006. My wife is on oxygen 24/7 and we had to relocate to Texas for a less humid climate. Thank you Dr. McClelland. You literally saved my life. I think of you often and pray your services are better than ever. By the look of this web site, it sure is.

My Results were Unbelievable

My name is Dennis Godwin. I was having trouble with constant hoarseness every day for over 5 years. I thought it was a problem that I would just have to learn to live with. Someone suggested that I see Dr. Lukacs with Cornerstone Ear, Nose & Throat. Although I was doubtful that he could help me, I was willing to give it a try. I went to Dr. Lukacs and he suggested surgery that he felt confident would be successful. I had the surgery and could not be more pleased. The surgery went very good and my results were unbelievable. I no longer have the hoarseness and was very pleased with Dr. Lukacs, but also his office staff and the hospital staff that took care of me as well. I would highly recommend him and his practice to anyone.

I will Definitely Recommend CornerStone Ear Nose and Throat to my Own Patients

“When our otolaryngologist recommended a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for our son, Bennett, I was very nervous. I knew he needed it because of the mouth breathing, snoring and choking spells. I didn’t know much about the new Coblation device that the Cornerstone surgeons use, but now I am sold on it. At our initial consultation, my concerns were immediately put at ease by the confidence and understanding of the surgeon. Bennett’s Coblation tonsillectomy procedure took only about 20 minutes and was done on an outpatient basis. He sailed right through the recovery period. Bennett was active and eating by the following day. I told the doctors at Cornerstone that if I had known tonsillectomy could be done this safely and with so little discomfort, I would have recommended it more in the past, instead of only as a last resort… From now on, I will definitely be sending my patients with problems due to enlarged or chronically infected tonsils to the surgeons at Cornerstone Ear Nose and Throat.”

Outstanding Service Should be Recognized

I firmly believe that outstanding service should be recognized. I am overjoyed with Cornerstone’s patient philosophy and the attention that I received during my visit on Wednesday. From the time I entered your waiting room until the moment I made my follow-up appointment, the staff was truly committed to providing personal and comfortable care and service. As for Dr. McClelland, I felt comfortable with his calm, easygoing personality. I appreciate that he went beyond my current symptoms and also examined my overall head and recommended polyp surgery that will dramatically improve my day to day breathing. CornerStone truly feels like a partnership between staff and patient. I am delighted to have you as my Ear, Nose & Throat specialist.
