Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Kind and informative
My 11 yr old daughter broke her nose. Dr. Babyak was really great talking to her and explaining what would happen with surgery. He made us all feel reassured. Surgery went great and the follow up visits were very fast to get in to see him.

The ladies working in the office were so nice and friendly. Dr. Babyak was one of the nicest, caring, considerate doctors that I have ever encountered. Being in my 70s we are talking about a lot of doctors. The entire visit was wonderful. The urgent care nurse practitioner referred me to him because she knew of his outstanding reputation. I recommend his office highly.

does not have the patient’s best interest at heart. Have known dr. Babyak for about 35 yrs. had always taken well care of our children. But he has changed for the worst. I would not recommend him if it was a matter of you surviving your diagnosis. My wife and I were very disappointed to see how such a good dr. at one time could change. After 2 yrs. found an absolute ENT who really cares about their patient. Do yourself a favor and find another doctor.

Struthers, Oh – Apr 26, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Babyak Jr?
He was very rude and abrasive. He spent time basically telling me I wasnt descriptive enough and was too vague regarding my symptoms and that I was driving him nuts! What a tool. I was being honest and when I asked about further treatment if it ended up being something that he could treat, I was told that I'm putting the cart before the horse and he would not even discuss it further. Those were his words. Leaves a lot to be said for professionalism that is for sure. I felt like I was completely wasting his time and he definitely wasted mine. Further testing was recommended but I would never go back to him and instead go to someone different just due to his poor bedside manner and inconsiderateness on what I am going through.

Absolutely no help. He is plain rude. Waited more than hr in office after waiting a month to see him. He rushed out after 2 minutes.

I recently had sinus surgery, I was very scared and nervous about having this procedure done but Dr. Babyak explained everything to me and how I would feel afterwards. I had total confidence after talking to him. I feel so much better after having this done, I'm breathing better, sleeping better, asthma is better, just feeling healthier over all.
