Quick, friendly, informative.
September 12, 2022Cheryl L.Verified patient
Very pleasant and professional. AND very understanding. It was my first time (morning appointment) and I had to travel on public transportation with multiple delays. Though I thought I had prepared, the last leg was a connector bus that changed from every 30 minutes to only once an hour (total trip was nearly 3 hours.). When I called, the receptionist did say I could still come but would have to wait until afternoon to be seen. Fortunately the doctor was able to squeeze me in that morning and was very pleasant about my odyssey getting here. My exam experience was excellent and My problem explained and dealt with in no time. Thank you so much!

Good experience
June 12, 2022Deidra S.Verified patient
Regardless of me being a few unplanned minutes late, staff was very accommodating, checked me in right away, and I was led to the back with pretty much no wait time. Medical assistant was friendly and easy to talk to and asked questions with caring attitude. Dr. Nathan was awesome! He was attentive and able to identify issues I’ve had without me even mentioning yet through examination. He took the time to not only provide a solution, but patiently provided general knowledge of my situation so I could understand. He has a positive caring attitude and clearly showed he is an expert in his field. I definitely recommend seeing Dr. Nathan for ENT!

Very good. Thorough.
April 14, 2022Michael G.Verified patient
Great staff they were extremely kind and made me feel comfortable. Dr Nathan explained everything to me in terms I could understand. My husband also had a first visit with Dr Nathan. My husband raved about Dr Nathan. My husband has always complained when he gets his ears flushed. The itching dives him crazy, not this time he NO ITCHING at all. Thanks Dr Nathan and stall. We will be back.
April 8, 2022Jackie G.Verified patient
Dr. Nathan was very thorough and knowledgeable! I have seen a number of ENT doctors in the past, and I must say this was my best experience. Dr. Nathan is very pleasant and friendly. He addressed all my questions, quickly assessed my medical condition, and provided the treatment during my appointment. The overall service was outstanding. I definitely plan to return if I ever need to see an ENT. I was so pleased that I made an appointment for my daughter as soon as I left the Dr. Nathan's office. I highly recommend Dr. Nathan to others.

February 16, 2022Ahmad Reshad M.Verified patient
Dr. Nathan was fantastic! He listens carefully and takes time explaining. He didn’t get annoyed when I had follow up questions, but took time to make sure I understood the issues. I felt like the visit was very thorough and calming. I will definitely come back if any nose/ear issues come back!
February 2, 2022Karalynn R.Verified patient
I arrived early and filled out some paperwork and was seen right away. The staff was professional, supportive and friendly. Dr Nathan was superb! He listened to my ailments, suggested some test and was genuinely concerned about my problems. Johonna, who administered my hearing test, was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. My whole first time visit was pleasurable. I look forward to working with Dr Nathan and his team.

Great experience with Dr. Nathan , the audiologist and the staff. Dr. Nathan explained my hearing loss simply and provided recommendations. Would recommend to everyone looking for an ENT.
September 23, 2021Kristen G.Verified patient
Staff seemed decidedly subpar as parctitioners, listening skill particularly poor in collecting patient data. Dr. Nathan was decidedly detached and impersonal, almost as if my reasons for the visit were boring and not worthy of discussion at the time of the visit.
