Everything went very well and I was seen very shortly after arriving early for the appointment. Office staff was courteous and took my co-pay. Saw Dr. Huang and he examined both ears and confirmed my course of treatment. It was very helpful to find out he was available today with Zocdoc and to book an appointment same day. Very positive experience. Would see him again.
Dr. Thomas Huang was wonderful, very understanding of my need and concerns I would highly recommend him .

Verified patient
The process of signing in to the doctor seeing me was very short which was a great surprise. My complaint is that the doctor didn't seem like he truly wanted to help me figure out what was wrong and sent me home with a treatment plan of just taking ibprophen, which is what I was doing before to help the pain but I was looking for a resolution to the immense pain I was going through. Something I also didn't like was that I didn't feel like I had adequate time to explain my full symptoms that I had been experiencing for the past couple days before the doctor cut me off. And throughout the visit, the doctor never asked if I had any other questions or concerns.

He was very helpful and nice!
Verified patient
I had booked the appointment the night before... online. The staff was professional and diligent to confirm my appointment the next morning , and they told me exactly how much it would cost (self-pay), so no surprises. I filled out the info form, and waited about 15-20 minutes. Dr Huang met me and shook my hand, asked a few questions and then got right to work. He knew just what to do, and was very thorough. After treating my condition, he told me some practical things I could do to avoid issues in the future. Overall, I walked out feeling very pleased and impressed with the care I had received. I would visit him again if the need arises.

Verified patient
I had to wait 45mins to see the Dr. There were 2 people who had the same appointment time as me. The Dr saw me for less than 5mins. He did not answer all my questions as i was rushed out of the door. The office is super old - like the 80’s. I would not come back here and I do not recomment this Dr.
The doctor saw me the same day, morning appointment, and when I arrived an hour early the doctor saw me right away. Great personal service. Thank you.
Verified patient
Dr. Huang was very kind, knowledgeable and thorough. Excellent doctor. Answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns with kindness and great professionalism. I highly recommend him!
Verified patient
I feel bad for anyone whose insurance directs them towards this clinician. He has clearly mailed it in and is just there for the paycheck. Very dismissive about my symptoms. Seemed to be annoyed that I was there. Gave vague treatment recommendations, with no specifics until I asked. Did not offer any follow-up recommendations. Although I waited more than 30 minutes past the appointment time to see him, he rushed out after my 13 minutes were up.
Patient with the patients, very knowledgable
Verified patient
I have had a positive experience at each appointment. I see Dr. Huang for my sinus issues. He is personable and attentive. It's evident that truly cares for his patients. The staff is remarkable, they are very friendly and always willing to help. Last year, Dr. Huang performed sinus surgery and corrected my deviated septum.I had almost instantaneous relief... after the recovery time; which was no long at all. Everyone said I would be bruised, but I did not experience any bruising. I have been able to breathe much better since the surgery to date. I see Dr. Huang for allergies now. I highly recommend him to friends and family.
Verified patient
It was my first visit with Dr Huang, and even though I was a new patient, we got all of the paperwork done with his staff and he was able to see me for a consultation within 15 minutes, His visit was efficient, he examined me, went over my history, checked my past medical charts from the referring physician and rendered a diagnosis in short time. Very professional, courteous and efficient.
Verified patient
He didn't really look like he wanted to see me. Maybe because it was a 4:30 appointment that got postponed till after 5PM. But it made me feel like an inconvenience. He was rushing and I kept having to ask him to check other things so that I could figure out why I wasn't feeling well. I'm going to have to go to another doctor to really understand what's going on with me.
Verified patient
Overall the doctor was very professional however I felt very rushed and he didn't resolve my issue. Booked an appointment for today elsewhere.
Verified patient
Dr. Huang was very thorough & even suggested a Facial Ultrasound that other Dr's never even suggested before! Because of that, I believe the Dr cares about me.
Verified patient
He was very attentive and very professional. :)
Verified patient
good service
Verified patient
He is very a knowledgeable and very polite.
Couldn't be happier. He's super nice and takes good care of me. Another ent told me I needed ear surgery and Dr Huang fixed it with ear drops only. One set of drops burned and he quickly called me back saying he will prescribe a different one. Top notch doc all the way around.
Extremely professional and attentive. Very comfortable experience. After thorough exam, identified my issue and implemented treatment program. Not one to typically write reviews however after meeting with him, I would highly recommend Dr. Huang.
