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.

Hidden fees
She may be a good doctor, but I've seen two ENTs including my referring doctor just days before her and not once was I ever told I needed to have impacted ear wax removed. But she said I did and for 4 second wax removal I was charged $124 to say nothing of the $618 fee from MedStar Health for the visit there, just the visit, without it being disclosed on any form that I was being so charged. I would not recommend her at all.

Went here to have mild hearing loss corrected. Left with no hearing in that ear. This was a straightforward, routine procedure with a 90% success rate. This person changed my life forever.
