"I no longer have the constant coughing or the constant clearing of the throat. Not coughing all the time is a big deal. Dr. Sher has made a big difference in my quality of life."

"I'd been to a number of physicians who had not been able to help me in any way. Within one week, I saw a vast difference. If you just do what your doctor tells you to do, you'll be fine with Dr. Sher.

"Dr. Sher took the time to make sure that the treatment he was recommending would not only fix the problem but not cause anthing else. Dr. Sher is very intelligent and knowledgeable and it really comes across when he deals with a patient."

…It was unsettling. I was worried about my mate and it was painful to hear him coughing over and over again. The repetition was unnerving. He sounded unhealthy. I was worried for my husband, and it was aggravating for me.
After one visit with Dr. Mandel Sher at Center For Cough, the change in Tom’s condition was immediate and so satisfying. Today, we are both so much calmer because Tom is not making the aggravating noises any more. Tom has a sense of control. Dr. Sher and Center For Cough gave him a tool for controlling his cough, he knows the cause and how it can be managed. It was easy to make the small changes in his life that Dr. Sher recommended. Tom is happy to do what he has to to quiet his cough and manage his condition. He feels empowered. Knowledge is a powerful thing. And all the while that Tom is managing his cough for himself, he is also satisfying a need that I have.

I would wake up in the morning and be coughing in bed. My cough was loud, had physical activity like shaking associated with it, and really bothered my husband. He was annoyed because he thought there was something I could do to stop coughing, but it wasn’t that simple. I was sure my cough would pass but it didn’t. After 3 years, I realized my cough wasn’t going away, it wasn’t situational, it was chronic.
Now that I have embraced the recommendations of Dr. Sher and Center For Cough, I have a more peaceful daily living. I used to worry about participating in my temple, worried that I couldn’t get through a prayer without coughing. Now, that worry is gone. Treatment is easy. Dr. Sher is a very consistent deliverer of the message. Everyone who is regularly around me and I are aware of a huge difference. Today, I am barely coughing and I continue the routine to keep it that way.

My wife talks a lot and she used to interrupt herself with coughing. It was annoying and aggravating. She coughed very loudly. It drove me crazy. Her coughing was irritating, interrupted every conversation, and disrupted our quiet time. I didn’t understand why she didn’t take care of it. Eventually she did.
After only one visit to Center For Cough, my wife’s cough is dramatically improved. The frequency of her coughing is way, way down, and if she begins to cough, she understands what triggers it and knows how to control it. Whenever she coughs now, it reminds me of how far she has come and how much improved her cough is. The treatment is a no-brainer. I am very glad she went to Center For Cough.

I would cough all the time, especially after meals. The coughing would irritate people around me and it was driving me crazy. My work requires me to speak a lot, giving presentations and depositions, and I would worry about getting through without coughing. I worried about drawing attention to myself because of the cough and that it would be distracting from my expertise.
Dr. Sher’s and Center For Cough’s treatment program is very easy to follow. After only an initial consultation, I noticed an immediate change. Now, I feel more poised and more in control. I hardly cough any more but if I feel a cough coming on, I know how to control it. And in addition to feeling better at work and in social situations, my wife find it’s more pleasant to be around me.
