January 13, 2026Fayieg A.Verified patient
I felt dismissed and couldn't finish a sentence, as it appeared he dismissed my symptoms. Although other doctors have performed tests, it doesn't necessarily mean they've found the underlying cause, which is why I sought his expertise. I'm tired of the pain.

Dr. Ninef E. Zaya is an outstanding ENT specialist who truly goes above and beyond for his patients. Not only is he knowledgeable and compassionate, but he also takes the extra step to ensure the best care possible. He went out of his way to get me seen by another specialist the same day after referring me, which I deeply appreciate. His dedication and commitment to his patients are unmatched. I highly recommend Dr. Zaya to anyone in need of an excellent ENT doctor!
March 30, 2025Precious C.Verified patient
Dr. Zaya is really good in examining with enough attention. He also explained what really should be taken care of and what is really fine with me. I liked to feel that he is actually attentive to my concerns and is a good communicator. He is sufficient for me as an ENT specialist. I wish good luck to him, his clients and myself as well in the journey of wellness.

Gosh I had an amazing experience! I was seen quickly and the staff were extremely pleasant, including the nurse who started with my vitals and history. I’ve seen quite a few doctors including a previous ent I really enjoyed being treated by but I have never felt so heard and simultaneously educated by a provider. He was super communicative and accommodating, my main concern has now been resolved and we have a treatment plan for the future. I’m super hopeful and I can’t recommend this doctor and his team enough!

January 25, 2024Elodia T.Verified patient
My appointment with Dr. Zaya was great, he was very easy to talk to and answered all my questions thoroughly. I was very satisfied with the care I received, the only issue I had was the hour and a half wait to see Dr. Zaya. The office staff was phenomenal and did a great job, it was just a long wait to get seen.

Dr. Zaya was incredibly welcoming and helpful. He genuinely listened to my complaints and explained what he thought was going on, and why he suggested the treatment options that he did. He did not talk down to me or ignore any of my concerns. The audiologist who tested me was also kind and professional. Great experience at this office.

June 9, 2022Mrinal M.Verified patient
This was a great visit although there was a wait time. The front staff were awesome in communicating about the wait time and giving us an option of waiting or rescheduling. The front desk staff explained why the doctor was running late and was all about helping accommodate our personal schedules.... The nurse was great an efficient. The doctor was detailed and informative. Making me feel heard and seen in my health and questions....
May 31, 2022Melinda T.Verified patient
Very good experience
May 23, 2022Monica B.Verified patient
I imagine that the long wait to be seen was because the doctor doesn’t rush through your exam. He’s thorough, and knowledgeable , but not cocky. I do recommend Dr. Zaya.
