Our daughter was born in 2006 with Goldenhar Syndrome. We were unsure if she would be able to hear and were nervous about the surgery options we were given. Her doctors we’re talking to us about a rib graft surgery and that seemed like it was a lot of pain for an ear that may not look as good as the one she was born with.
After years of searching we found Dr. Tahiri. Years of praying had paid off. We scheduled her first surgery in 2019. Our daughter now had an ear she could be proud of. When Dr. Tahiri showed us her ear for the first time I was amazed and so excited for her.
Now six years later in 2025 she is a young adult and wants to wear sunglasses. Dr. Tahiri was confident he would be able to build up the back of her ear to give her enough space to be able to wear glasses. Because she has Goldenhar her skull is a little malformed. Let me just say it looks amazing! It is still healing and I can’t wait for her six months of healing to pass so we can see her in her new sunglasses. 🕶️
Dr. Tahiri and his team are amazing!! They care so much and are excited to help your child to have
The best experience possible. Every time I see Dr. Tahiri, I always think when I grow up (I am older than him 😂 ) I want to be just like him. He is changing peoples lives everyday. What a blessing he is. The first time he gave my daughter an ear I said “You gave my daughter an ear! I couldn’t do that.” My favorite part of my daughter’s ear is that Dr. Tahiri was able to keep part of her ear she was born with to make an earlobe. I think that was so special. She was able to have part of her original ear with the addition of her new ear.
Thank you so much!!
