Was sick with a sinus infection for 5 weeks. My primary advised me to see ENT specialist. I was hesitant to make such a long trip to Port Jefferson Station, but MD listened to my needs. Within 5 days was feeling much better. Thank you again so much

Dr. Zaretsky was professional and knowledgeable. I have been experiencing sinus pressure for over 5 years now, it makes me sleepy, uncomfortable and many times has lead to sinus infections. I was hesitant to have a procedure done as all may be, but after a few visits with Dr. Zaretsky I felt comfortable and knew that this was the right choice for me. I am so grateful to her. I can now experience the least amount of sinus pressure I have in over 5 years as well as not need to constantly utilize nasal sprays to reduce the chance of sinus infections. Thank you

I don’t do reviews, they aren’t my thing, but Dr. Z definitely deserves it. I’m a huge skeptic of doctors, most of them are clueless, but Dr. Z went above and beyond. She explained how every step of the Turbinate Reduction procedure would work, and what she said is exactly what happened. Normal, down to earth woman who’s awesome at her job!
