Vero is back and this time, the conversation goes deeper than symptoms and scans. Dr. Alfi sits down with Vero and her daughter Tammy to unpack the family impact of chronic pain, poor sleep, and years of confusing diagnoses. Tammy shares what it was like growing up “treading on ice,” carefully managing what she asked for because she never knew how much her mom could handle. She also admits she was angry and skeptical when Vero chose surgery, after multiple procedures, setbacks, and the fear of another long recovery.

Then comes the turning point: two years post-op, everything feels different. Energy is back. The house dynamic shifts. Their relationship transforms into real friendship — late-night talks, early mornings, and a mom who can finally be present. They connect the dots between airway health, nasal breathing, mental health, and why so many patients get missed and end with a message that hits hard: if you won’t do it for yourself, do it for the people who live with your suffering, too.

Our team can help you get to the ROOT cause — jaw alignment and airway.
