The Best
Verified patient
Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Explains the mechanics of what is going on and provides simple treatment. An excellent and very clean office with friendly staff. He's also great with tricky diagnoses that not every ENT specializes in like sleep disorders and vocal cord dysfunction. Bonus: If you need him after hours, calls go directly to him or another doctor in the practice, no nurse lines, no waits.
Verified patient
I felt like I was talking to my friend. Very personable. Came in and introduced himself as Mike making me feel comfortable right away. Used diagrams to explain things for a better understanding. Definitely gets 10 stars!!
