📢 A voice restored after nearly 50 years

At age 12, Timothy survived a devastating car crash that left his vocal cords permanently damaged. For decades, he lived with a painful, gravelly voice—teased in school, judged in job interviews, and losing hope that anything could change.

Then he met David Garber, MD, an ENT specialist with WMCHealth.

Dr. Garber followed a hunch, uncovered a decades-old Teflon injection interfering with Timothy’s vocal cords, and performed surgery to remove it.

The result?

“My entire family cried when I spoke after surgery… my voice was 90% normal.”

Even Dr. Garber was surprised at how effective it was. “I truly was shocked that his voice was so different. It wasn’t a medical breakthrough, just a little detective work. I couldn’t be happier for him.’’
