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.

Would Highly Recommend This Doctor!
I was referred to Dr. Lygizos by another doctor. The referring doctor was trying to make up for, I believe, a mistake she made. Dr. Lygizos was honest, straightforward, and reassuring. He performed a nasal test in his office, which was not that bad, and scheduled an ultrasound at a facility more convenient to me. I did research him before scheduling (as I truly disliked the referring doctor) and he was all and more than his reviews claimed. He is the only ENT I would ever see and would recommend him to everyone.

When I got there the staff was incredibly rude and assumed I knew things that were their procedures but I’ve never been there before. Once I saw the doctor and the Hearing Specialist they were both great and then when I came out the staff was much nicer.
