“Dr Loft was courteous, patient and took the time to explain exactly what was causing my ear pain and treated me immediately. I had a severe infection and the pain had gone by two days, and cleared up soon afterwards. He took the time to schedule follow ups to make sure the infection was healed and no damage had been done. Didn’t have to wait long at any point. Highly recommend! ”
