“I WAS A PATIENT UNDER DR. RADIONOFF AFTER VOCAL CORD SURGERY IN 2002. PRIOR TO SURGERY I HAD BEEN SINGING IN NIGHTCLUBS FOR 10 YEARS OR SO. I HAD 3 POLYPS REMOVED AND WAS TREATED FOR GERD. MY VOCAL CORDS WERE COMPLETELY RAVAGED AND THRU BAD HABITS, OR NOT KNOWING, I HAD BECOME HANDICAPPED......NOT TO MENTION OUT OF WORK FROM A LONG CAREER!
AFTER SURGERY AND MANDATORY VOCAL REST, I WAS ABLE TO START SPEAKING AGAIN. I REHABBED UNDER DR. RADIONOFF FOR THE SUMMER OF 2002 TO NOT ONLY BE ABLE TO SING AGAIN, BUT TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK CLEARLY. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE BLESSING OF POWERFUL SPEAKING VOICE, BUT AFTER SURGERY, HAD TO START ALL OVER AGAIN.
WEEKLY LESSONS WITH DR. RADIONOFF GOT MY SPEAKING VOICE BACK TO WHERE IT HAD BEEN AND STARTING IN THE FALL OF 2002, WAS ABLE TO GO BACK TO WORK AS A NIGHTCLUB SINGER.
HAD A HICCUP OR 2 IN 2005 AND 2006, WHEN I DEVELOPED ANOTHER POLYP, ALONG WITH GERD RELATED INJURIES, AND HAD TO GO BACK TO BASICS. DR. RADIONOFF AGAIN NURSED ME BACK TO GOOD VOCAL HEALTH AND AWARENESS FROM HER TECHNIQUES, LESSONS, AND BETTER, A KIND CARING APPROACH.
PRESENT DAY, 2010, I AM STILL SINGING PROFESSIONALLY 3 TIMES A WEEK, WHICH IS MY PERSONAL MAXIMUM, AND STAYING OUT OF SMOKE FILLED ROOMS. I KEEP ALL THE MATERIAL THAT I LEARNED FROM DR. RADIONOFF AND CONTINUE TO APPLY THE TECHNIQUES TO KEEP MY VOCAL HEALTH.
I WOULD NOT BE PERFORMING TODAY OR SO AWARE OF VOCAL TECHNIQUES/REFLUX REMEDIES, IF NOT FOR THE TEACHINGS OF DR. RADIONOFF.”
