This was by far the best doctor's appointment I have ever had. Dr. Kass spent an entire hour with me, explaining his entire thought process. Not to mention, I have seen several other doctors for this particular issue, and no one was able to help. I saw Dr. Kass yesterday, and am already starting to feel better today. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Kass for any ENT issue.

My son has been struggling with the same problem for a few years now - it's something that developed slowly, and we didn't notice it until it was severe. We've seen several doctors (I'm talking Children's Hospital, Johns Hopkins, etc.), and had one surgery that gave temporary relief. But yesterday we saw Dr. Kass for the first time. Not only did he know exactly what we were talking about, but he showed us the problem on screen - we could actaully see it!! He also came up with a plan of action. The cure will not happen overnight, but just knowing that we finally have someone who is listening to us, and is taking the time to REALLY look at the problem and find REAL solutions is a huge load off our minds. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kass, and will probably be recommending him for saint-hood in the near future!

Dr. Kass is extremely knowledgeable and capable of explaining what is going on in clear and intelligible terms. He's very professional and yet personable and pleasant. And to think that I almost didn't show up for my appointment because his picture somehow gave me a different impression. Don't be put off by the photo. He doesn't look anything like it. He's a terrific doc!

I had a pretty bad ear infection. I found Dr. Kass on ZocDoc and he was able to see me immediately. Treatment was very effective, and scheduling appointments was very easy and flexible. Also, the ear infection was all taken care of, and I believe it was done as fast and effectively as possible.

He's a fine, careful doctor with an excellent background, who took the time to explain and educate about my condition, medications usage, etc. I highly recommend him, for patients of any age, and I certainly would go back to him again. Also, he saw me on a Saturday morning, a rare and welcome benefit in starting treatment on a painful condition, instead of having to wait over the weekend or longer.

Dr. Kass was simply amazing! I went to see him in discomfort and a little disheartened from the experiences I'd had from care i received earlier in the week. It's been a few hours since he treated me for a double ear infection and I'm like a new person. He took time to conduct a thorough examination, he explained every step of the treatment process to me and was constantly checking to make sure I was comfortable as he treated me. I couldn't have asked to be in better hands. I would highly recommend him to anyone and will never be able to thank him enough, but I will try! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
