June 14, 2018Elham V.Verified patient
I didn't mind the wait because Dr.Makki is excellent at his job. He took care of my mom back in 2014 after she had an ear emergency. So fast forward four years later, with my ear emergency I had no doubt about going to see Dr. Makki. He and his staff treated me with respect and offered me a beverage while I waited to be seen. I left, Dr.Makki's office today satisfied with my level of care. I highly recommend him for your Ear,Nose, and Throat care, he's very accommodating.

May 19, 2018Elizabeth K.Verified patient
My wife had a fish bone in her throat. It was on weekend. Many urgent care centers didn't want to take the responsibility for taking care of it, and they all wanted us to visit the ER. However, after calling Dr. Khosrow Makki, he wanted to give a try that may save us hours and money in the ER. He was very professional and he pulled out the fish bone quickly. My wife felt very comfortable after the procedure. We want to give 5 stars to Dr. Khosrow Makki!
