I had visited previously just to get my ear wax cleaned and was pleased with his manner and knowledge, so I came back! The doctor was friendly and listened to my concerns. He took care of my two issues, and was clear with his instructions.

I recently had an appt. at the Legacy location, a very nice facility, with a clean, modern, and organized office, as well as a respectful and proficient staff. I saw Dr. Peiffer. I found him to be an excellent ENT, both medically and professionally. (Over the years I’ve learned those two qualities do not always co-exist.) In addition, he has a wonderful bedside manner, something I find is critical. I explained my issues and Dr. Peiffer truly listened, educated me, offered options, and greatly reduced my initial anxiety over a proposed scoping by explaining, with great detail, not only the process, but how it feels in comparison to other fairly common procedures. In addition, he guided me through every second of that scoping, telling what to, how to breathe, etc. It was sooo much better than I expected. He was able to eradicate some fear as well as give me some answers and treatment options. I left his office having had a very positive experience and having found my new ENT.
