Patient Reviews
May 03, 2021
My daughter was referred to him. Absolutely my favorite ENT that she had seen in 3 years. He was thorough and scheduled my daughters surgery and we have not had a problem since. She went in for a yearly check up after and she has not had any problems since and that was almost 5 years ago. She no longer takes regular allergy medicine either. He is a wonderful and knowledgeable doctor.
