Was relatively easy to make an appointment. The appointments, however, were very disappointing. You can most probably expect a quick and prompt appointment lasting less than 10 minutes. This doctor takes a hands off approach, preferring instead to let his residents do all the work. He is more concerned with teaching his residents than actually listening to or examining the patient.Despite my valid concerns over diagnostic testing reports (which turned out being more serious thanks to consultations with other ENT professionals) when questioned why he was not concerned, his confident justification was "my 30 years experience." Well, let's hope that my condition doesn't worsen (thanks to his "30 years of experience").This is one doctor that appears not to care about his patients but rather how much money he can make in his profession. There are plenty of such doctors that seem to be in it for the money. It has become increasingly difficult to find a doctor that is well meaning,… thorough, caring and most importantly with some sense of responsibility to the patient. As a patient, it appears that you need to do nothing other than take his good word for it. Or at least make another appointment...

Dont waste your time and money. He loves to perform surgery on any problem you may have. He ruined my voice with his last surgery and didn't care to help me.In fact he told me i was getting harder to take care, what kind of doctor tells his patients this? Obviously one that doesnt care. Oh, and did I mention he likes to cancel appointments on you.Its very common for him to do that. Oh and the office/receptionist are not friendly nor helpful.
