Back in my homeland, the communism regime was crumbling, the lines for food were growing, and the future was uncertain. What did I have to lose?
On the first day of my English class at the local Community college, I was very clear – “I want to be a doctor.” – This seemed to amuse my classmates, as they were laughing; however, my instructor tried to defuse the situation by asking me “Do you know what that means”. To me, it meant translating every word in textbooks with a dictionary; taking classes in every spring, summer, fall, and winter semester; studying 8 hours per day; and grabbing every educational opportunity as possible. I read and wrote multiple scientific articles, spent 14 years in school, trained and educated new doctors and worked in excess of 120 hours per week. To me, it meant realizing my dreams.
Why Ear Nose and Throat? That was the question I asked my grandfather. He was drafted during WWII by the Russians straight out of medical school. He quickly worked through the ranks and became the Medical director of a mobile hospital based on a train.
It would transport the wounded out of the frontlines of the battlefields into the safe zone while continuing to perform life-saving procedures and care. When the war was over, he continued to advance in the veteran affair hospital administration, reaching the level of colonel and was offered a CEO position at a 500-bed hospital in Moscow. He declined.
Determined to do what he always wanted and loved; he became a healer; providing direct medical care. His rational for choosing Ear Nose Throat specialty was based on fascinating anatomy, great diversity of diseases, and most of all, the ability to see the results of your treatment/surgery. “You cannot hide your results”. He said
His words rang true then, and they do still now. It’s by these words I live and practice, knowing my patients will receive a level of care that always takes into account the post-operative effects of my work; Work I don’t want to hide, and results you’ll never have to.
“You cannot hide your results.”

Click here to book an appointment at with Dr Mikhail Vaysberg.
I was a patient of Dr Vaysberg when he was at Univ of FL in Gainesville. When he was recruited to Orlando, I followed him there to have my thyroid surgery done. There is no other ENT surgeon I would trust for a surgery that vascular and potentially risky. He is simply the best. As an RN, I am careful who I chose to provide my medical care. It is without reservation I recommend Dr Vaysberg to my friends needing head and neck surgery.
I saw DR. Vaysberg due to severe nosebleeds in fact I walked into his office for my first appointment and my nose started to bleed before I ever went back to see him. His staff was fantastic took great care of me and the DR was wonderful. He has a great manner about him that put me at ease and he took care of the issue and sent me on my way. He numbed my nose up very well so that neither the cauterization or stitches hurt at all. He went to great lengths to a dress my issue so I could go on vac.
