I went to this "doctor" a while back - took some time to write this review for fear of retaliation. Right off the bat, he is pushy and forces his preconceived treatment on you despite having already done said treatment. Doesn't seem to listen to patients at all. Will cut you off and say, "I know I know." Feels like he has a chip on his shoulder. Also includes politics in his practice which is very unsettling. I'd rather now know some things. Anyway, ymmv with this doc. take a chance if you want. I'm never going back.

Horrible customer service and experience. Booking an appointment was dreadful. For first visit, I was told I had to come in with a valid hearing test done in the past 6 months. When asked where I should get one done, the person told me to go to Costo (I don't have a Costco membership). I asked for other options, they didn't have any. Two weeks later I called back for help and explained I had tried other places but that each wanted a referral. I was again told to go to Costco. When there is an Audiology portion of GW as part of ENT, why the Costco push? Why not just offer some assistance or resources? I'll find another provider who has better staff. This has soured me on all GW providers as it isn't the first time I have experienced bad service from the staff. Find a different doctor. He isn't the only ENT in town.

Today I went to a doctors office not knowing what to expect. I was immediately called back given information to review about me. Doctor and assistant came in immediately engaged me the patient. Then went further to explain diagnosis and show me the health concerns. Dr. Monfared is Magnificent Wanda Polite

I have mixed feelings about him. He was the third otologist I saw and the most compassionate when I met him in person.However, he suggested treatments I already tried and was defensive when I suggested tubes via email. His email exchanges demonstrated that he didn't listen to what I had to say. I know my own body and am not going to try treatments that don't work for me. I'm not going back.
