Patient Reviews
Jun 08, 2021
Dr. Areen has been my doctor for 20+ years. I went from someone with recurring sinus infections who thought life with stuffy head was normal, to a very happy, clear breathing person. He did a wonderful sinus surgery on me and has been always available to follow up with. I have been happy to refer both of my sons to him and anyone else who has sinus issues. Dr. Areen takes time to listen to me and always gives me options for treatments. If you have ENT issues, you cannot do better than Dr. Areen.
