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.

I have a long history of ear issues and surgeries. In my first appointment with him, the doctor spent a total of 2 minutes with me. His exam was the least comprehensive I've ever experienced. He did nothing for me except to instruct me to use ear wax drops daily, which I tried to explain to him I have been repeatedly instructed not to use by other ENT specialists. I have initiated a complaint through my insurance. He should not be practicing.

I went to this doctor aweek ago and received a course of prednisone for an ear problem and was told to use my regular anti-inflammatory eardrops -I go back there 1 week later now with throbbing pain and he told me that there was nothing more that could be done and sent me away -I then booked an appointment with my primary care doctor same day 4 hrs later- learned that I had a raging ear infection!Given ciprofloxacin and eardrops Ciprodex otic -this man is incompetent-never go to him!!
