Dr. Tweel was prompt to the telehealth appointment, asked appropriate questions to assist with my issue and listened intently to my concerns. He is clearly knowledgeable and offered preliminary treatment while suggesting that I see him in his office if my vertigo continues or worsens. I highly recommend this provider!

January 27, 2025Akbar H.Verified patient
I went in as I had a Sinus Infection and was prescribed antibiotics by urgent care. I saw symptoms improve but had stubborn residual fluid in my ear and uneven pressure and wanted the opinion of a specialist to see if there was anything to do further or if I just needed to be patient.
Dr Tweel had great bedside manner, patient and took the time to explain things to me, being very thorough in my diagnosis and his explanation of the root cause and possible treatment options. He seemed very knowledgeable and did all necessary examinations to make sure my visit was worthwhile.
The office experience was also good, clean waiting area, friendly and organized reception and the doctor was punctual.
I highly recommend and will return should I need the opinion of an ENT going forward.

July 16, 2024G B.Verified patient
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Tweel. I came in a bit apprehensive, dealing with issues like post-nasal drip and hoarseness. Despite my concerns, I felt very heard and listened to. Dr. Tweel addressed every problem thoroughly and sought less invasive solutions before considering more extreme options. He involved a speech therapist, and together, we explored various ways to alleviate my hoarseness without drastic measures. It was one of the best experiences I've had, particularly through Zocdoc. Our conversation was great, and he was incredibly personable. I highly recommend him and don't often give such strong endorsements.
