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 would not recommend Dr. Dolan
Dr. Dolan was dismissive and uninterested from the moment that he walked into the office. He spoke to me as though I was stupid. Dr. Dolan is an egotistical man. He was very defensive and off putting. I felt extremely uncomfortable in his presence. He had zero interest in helping me. I would not recommend seeing this doctor if you're looking for someone with patience and care.

Dr. Dolan spent hours carefully removing a tumor. It became an emergency situation and I will always be grateful to him!

I’ve seen Dr. Dolan a few times. He took out my tonsils at 33 years old (which is an extremely painful recovery,) he did a fantastic job as a surgeon and a doctor. This man should be honored. I’m alive today because of his quick actions, his ability to remain calm (thereby keeping me calm) and overall professionalism and bedside manner that is remarkable. If there was such thing as ENT surgeon general, I honestly believe Dr. Dolan would be THE doctor to fill such a position (if it was a real thing, like our surgeon general and IF he wanted the job as he’s been fantastic with me, always.) To me, I will always be indebted to him for his actions and thr quick actions of the nurses who triaged me that day and I also equally credit them and the doctors who assisted me once out of Dr. Dolans care as I was rushed to ED from the office, as I was suffocating and didn’t know it (my oxygen level was so low, I shouldn’t remember any of this, but I distinctly remember Dr. Dolan taking charge.)

What a friendly doctor! He had such an awesome bedside manner. He reviewed my case and was the first doctor (in 55 days) to take immediate action and try to help me. Dr Dolan is a pro and I'm so grateful that I met him and that he worked as quickly as he did.
