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.

Dr. Cornay has been our family’s ENT for years. I have a myriad of medical issues as well as the sinus and ear issues for which I see Dr Cornay and he knows how each medical issue impacts the others. We trust Dr. Cornay. We also have two special needs children, now adults, who see Dr. Cornay. He has an incredible rapport with them! His entire staff is caring and knowledgeable. They always return phone calls. Dr. Cornay and his staff are top notch!

I wrote a bad review about Dr. Cornay several years ago regarding my having Lyme Disease and his giving me a steroid shot. However, I returned to him because he is the best. He explained exactly what steroid he had given me and why it would not affect me negatively. He was very kind and graciously accepted my apology. If there is a way to delete my old review I wish I could. Thanks to Dr. Cornay and team.

I've had Dr. Cornay and Rebecca for years now. They are the best doctors I've ever had. I had to leave to Japan about 4 years after being with them for 4 years. But when I came back, they remembered me and looked through the old files that they still kept before seeing me again. And they do everything they can to help me financially as well since I had to get two hearing aids. They really care about the patients and they always return your calls if they end up being busy when you call them.

I am 67yrs. Old. Been going to ent. Drs. Since I was six. Years old. I lost my eardrum 100%. Had surgery’s. Those drs are long gone. I have been going to Dr Cornay for along time. He is great. Great on diagnostic. I totally trust him. I like the fact he does not pussyfoot around but hits medical problems hard. He is confident. Saying “I got this” which puts me at ease. Gives samples whenever possible. He even diagnosed and treated my exposed bone on a tori in my mouth. A oral surgeon problem.

I have seen Dr. Cornay for several years and completely trust his judgement. He is very knowledgeable and effective at treating the whole patient. He actually diagnosed my Lyme disease - my ENT! - and continues to provide excellent quality service for my specific needs.

He has been the first doctor within over a year that actually took the time to listen to me and what I have been going through with my health issues and gave me his professional opinion of what he thought it is, when others did not. I was blown off by others and diagnosis not accurate. He gave me an accurate diagnosis and took the time to double check some blood work. I would recommend him to anyone. He is truly a blessing.
