If you require surgery, avoid. Too long to explain the failed procedure, but I ended up with more long-term problems than what I went in for originally.

Would not do his job and follow up on my father during COVID crisis. If he had did his job and assessed for clots as well he should my dad would not have coded which lead to a prolonged hospital stay and being placed on a ventilator (trach and peg) all bc he did not want to use the PPE that has been DONATED for said purpose. This is poor standard of care and poor judgement. I don’t know how he sleeps at night. I still can’t believe he thinks and feels that PPE is more important than a human being.

Dr. Shariff, the other doctors, nurses and staff at ENT Physicians at both Toledo and Oregon locations have been instrumental in saving my hearing from Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss over the last 10-15 years. They've gotten me in so fast for treatment, usually within a day or two. Thank you all so much for all that you've done (and keep doing) to save my hearing. God bless you all!

Dr. Shariff is nice. Just a little disappointed because I had a test done and the results were said to come in the next day so they did and he didn't even call me he just waited until I had a follow-up appoinment the next week or something to tell me. I wanted the results so I could figure out what was going on with me but I never really got them. Nice man did alot for me Dale the office nurse is a little strange thpugh. I do reccomend for anyone!

Probably the nicest doctor I have ever met! I wish he were a family physician. He talked to my 9yr old daughter, the patient, and not to just me. She really liked him for a man she said!
