“Dr .Falsafi was great. He took his time listening to my concerns and really listened. He was on-time, his office staff was friendly and efficient. A great experience.”
Annemarie J.February 25, 2026
“I don't know where to start and mention how amazing Dr Falsafi is. The staff was also amazing, they welcomed me as a new patient and paper work was easy.
Dr Falsafi was kind, empathetic and approachable. I described my condition and pain and told him how anxiety induce this type of symptom was, since there's history in my family for severer Tinnitus. He took the time to answer all of my questions.
After we walk through all of the symptoms in how it happened. Dr Falsafi went ahead and explained to me via images of cut sections of the ear and nose, what could be possible wrong and the different parts affected. He then proceeded to check my ear and nose thoroughly and realize how compromise and how little breathing I've had for such a long time in my nose. This was also revealing because it's probably something that I've had for such a long time.
I started treatment and I can already breathe, and my tinnitus has reduced and the pressure in my ear significantly.”

Very through explanation and easy to talk to
January 13, 2026natalie G.Verified patient
Dr. Falsafi is an exceptional ENT. He immediately identified a complex deviated septum and explained, clearly and calmly, how it was affecting my breathing and sleep. His bedside manner is outstanding—warm, direct, and incredibly thorough. He focuses on evidence-based treatments, which is very refreshing, and took the time to explain why certain outdated procedures don’t deliver results. For the first time, I understood the real root of my issues. I left feeling informed, reassured, and confident in the plan forward. If you’re struggling with nasal obstruction, snoring, or sleep-related breathing issues, I highly recommend him.

Dr. Falsafi is an excellent physician. He explained things to me very clearly, took his time with me and I never felt rushed. He had a warm bedside manner and my exam was the most thorough of any ENT I have ever seen.
The online process before the appointment was easy and did not take much time.
The receptionist was very professional and friendly.
I am so happy I found Dr. Falsafi and feel I am in very goos hands.
