"A friend had told me at about the Otoplasty procedure. I had never given it much thought because I thought that the procedure would be too expensive. I play soccer and I noticed when I wore my hair up people would stare at my ears. I also noticed people starring at my ear while having a conversation. But most of all, I felt like my ears didn’t fit my body. It was aggravating! I went for my free consultation and I could believe how affordable the procedure really was. Since having the procedure I am different person. I got my confidence back. Dr. Basner and his staff were great! – P.R."
