Phrenic Nerve Friday

As a former Olympic athlete, Sarah was used to living an active lifestyle. But when diaphragm paralysis left her struggling to breathe, even simple activities became a challenge.

Unable to exercise, hike, travel, or enjoy the things she loved most, Sarah began searching for answers and was referred to Dr. Matthew Kaufman for phrenic nerve reconstruction surgery.

Sarah shares her journey, the impact diaphragm paralysis had on her daily life, and the hope she found through treatment.

"Thanks to Dr. Kaufman, I finally found hope for my recovery and a chance to do what I love again."

Breast reconstruction is not one-size-fits-all and every patient’s journey looks different. Dr. Chang explains the different breast reconstruction options available after mastectomy, including implant-based and flap reconstruction procedures.

For many patients, reconstruction can be an important part of healing physically, emotionally, and personally. The right approach depends on your body, treatment plan, and goals, and every decision deserves support, education, and compassionate care along the way.

Still feeling chest pain, clicking, or movement long after heart surgery?

Dr. Michael Rose explains who may be a candidate for chest wall stabilization and what those symptoms could mean.

In some cases, the breastbone doesn’t fully heal after being divided during open heart surgery. This can lead to ongoing discomfort, instability, or a noticeable clicking sensation in the chest.

If you’re experiencing persistent pain or movement, it’s important to get evaluated. Through a physical exam and imaging, Dr. Rose can determine if sternal instability is present.

When needed, chest wall stabilization uses specialized plates and screws to secure the breastbone, helping it heal properly while relieving pain and restoring stability.

Ongoing discomfort after heart surgery isn’t something you have to live with. The right treatment can help you move, breathe, and feel like yourself again.

Still dealing with joint or tendon pain that hasn’t improved with rest, physical therapy, or medication?

Dr. Ferro breaks down what PRP is and why more people are turning to it for relief.

PRP, or platelet rich plasma, uses your body’s own healing process to support recovery. A small sample of your blood is drawn and spun to isolate concentrated platelets, which are then injected directly into the area that needs help.

These platelets release growth factors that help stimulate repair over time, supporting improved function and reduced pain in the weeks that follow.

Because it’s created from your own blood, PRP is a natural, minimally invasive option without added chemicals or steroids.

If healing has felt slow or frustrating, this may be a treatment worth exploring.

Breast reconstruction with implants can be an important step in restoring both form and confidence after breast cancer treatment, helping patients feel more like themselves again.

This before and after highlights Dr. Herman’s thoughtful approach to implant based reconstruction, with careful attention to symmetry, proportion, and a natural looking result. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual, with a focus on achieving balance while supporting the healing process.

For many patients, it is about restoring shape in a way that feels comfortable, personal, and aligned with their body.
