Strep throat is a common bacterial infection that affects millions of people each year, particularly children and young adults. In fact, an estimated 5.2 million people in the U.S. contract strep throat annually (reported by the CDC). While most cases are easily treated with antibiotics, some individuals experience recurring strep throat infections that disrupt their daily lives. If you or your child suffer from frequent bouts of strep throat, it may be time to consider a long-term solution: tonsillectomy.

While some urinary tract issues may resolve on their own, the vast majority require a specialist to successfully treat.

According to some estimates, there are over 3.7 million cataract surgery procedures in the United States every year. This makes cataract surgery one of the most common surgical procedures you might undergo. When you have cataract surgery, the cloudy and obstructed lens behind your eye is removed via a tiny incision. This lens is then replaced with a new, synthetic version, improving the clarity and vibrancy of your vision.
