“Dr. Luft is a fantastic physician and extremely knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, caring, and an excellent communicator. He explains things thoroughly without speaking down to his patients. He’s extremely qualified and is well versed in his field. The only thing that I would say wasn’t so great was the wait. I waited over an hour past my appointment to get called back to my room and then almost another hour in the room before seeing the doctor. Even though I waited, when he did see me, he took time with me. I didn’t feel like he rushed through my appointment to try to make up time. I felt like he was thorough and listened to what I was experiencing. I would 100% go back to see him. ”

“I have high praises for Dr. Luft and his assistant. The staff member that I met upon my entrance said that I needed to provide my insurance and id. I told her that I completed it on Zocdoc, but she said it wasn't there, even after I showed her my confirmation of completion, date and time stamped. She didn't accept that and it was frustrating to have to provide the documents again. What's the point of having an electronic system???? Don't blame the computer because I was able to pull it up myself. ”

February 6, 2026Rebecca V.Verified patient
Dr. Jay Luft is great. I have been a patient of his for many years and totally recommend him. Although the waiting time was longer than I expected, I’m sure that the reason was that Dr. Luft is very thorough, knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything, evaluate options and further follow up recommendations. THE BEST ENT, SPECIALIST in Delaware, bar none!
