March 20, 2026Paul V.Verified patient
I found this doctor based on the reviews and I wanted an ENT not a general practitioner or nurse. He was very knowledgeable and thorough throughout the visit. I was having difficulty breathing through my nose and experienced congestion. After a brief consultation he was able to get some imaging and scans. At the end of the visit he had a sound recommendation for next steps. This went very well for a first time visit.
