Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My hands and feet no longer sweat, and my armpits sweat significantly less. While I've noticed increased sweating in other areas, like my chest, back, and butt, I'm overall very happy with the results and would absolutely do it again. My nurse practitioner, Joy, was also incredibly kind and helpful!

sympathectomy surgery
when I first came in I was skeptical about the surgery just because of many bad experiences I've read online with other people about other surgeons. Hyperhidrosis has bothered me so much that i was willing to risk it even if it meant id sweat from other unusual areas of my body. I am very thankful for Dr.Langenfeld he has fixed my problem i no longer sweat from my hand and i feel alot better after the surgery with my results. Highly recommend Dr. Langenfeld and his staff

Successful Sympathectomy
I had a sympathectomy performed by Dr. Langenfeld and it went tremendously. I had severe sweating from my hands, armpits, feet and hands and since the procedure that has been eradicated. There is some compensatory sweating on my chest and back as a result of the procedure, but that was mentioned prior to surgery. Given the choice I would choose surgery 10 out of 10 times and thank Dr. Langenfeld for his care and consideration.

I had a sympathectomy done for my severe hyperhidrosis by Dr. Langenfeld. He was very welcoming and answered all of my questions about the procedure. After this my hands don't sweat at all anymore and I'm very satisfied with the outcome and entire process.

Highly recommend
I saw him for a tumor on my lung. Dr. Langenfeld took his time and thoroughly explained my condition and how the surgery would be performed. I felt very comfortable and confident in his hands. The procedure went well without issues and my recovery was smooth. Everyone in the office and the hospital was pleasant and helpful. Considering the circumstances, I could not have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Dr. Langenfeld for his professionalism and his skill.

Life-Changing Surgery, Exceptional Care Tell us m
Dr. John Langenfeld and his team provided a truly life-changing experience for me. As someone who had suffered from hyperhidrosis for 38 years, I was both anxious and hopeful going into the surgery. I was so nervous that I even had a vagal event right before the procedure, but Dr. Langenfeld’s calm demeanor and expertise reassured me completely. The surgery went flawlessly, and the results have been nothing short of miraculous. The kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail from Dr. Langenfeld and his team were outstanding. I am forever grateful for the freedom and peace of mind this surgery has given me. Thank you, Dr. Langenfeld, for giving me my life back!

Great experience
I took my daughter to Dr Langenfeld for hyperhidrosis for her hands and feet. They got us in for a consultation quickly and surgery quickly as well. After surgery her hands were immediately dry - she said the surgery was LIFE CHANGING! Surgery was pretty easy - uncomfortable the first two days. Sore for a couple of more days and then no issues. I would absolutely recommend this surgery with Dr Langenfeld for anyone with hyperhidrosis
