I already filled out a review. Dr. Hecht was wonderful & I gave him the highest rating. Whereas I had been on 4 previous med from 4 different doctors, the severe infection was ongoing for about 2 months & 2 weeks. Dr. Hecht had me on the mend in less than a week.

As a flight attendant, I sometimes don't even know what day it is - but I do know I'm incredibly grateful for my ENT Dr. Avrim Heecht. I've seen him multiple times for recurring ear and sinus issues, and every visit has been consistently excellent. He listens carefully, explains everything clearly, and never makes me feel rushed. I'll also admit, I'm not the bravest patient when it comes to procedures (think tiny child levels of courage), and he has always been patient, calm, and reassuring. Dr. Hecht is remarkably kind and professional at the same time - that combination of skill, kindness, and professionalism is greatly appreciated. I always leave feeling genuinely cared for and in very capable hands. Thank you Dr. Hecht.

Dr. Hecht was so good with our daughter. Funny, relatable, and caring. Not only does he have a great bedside manner, he is an observant, discerning, and decisive clinician. I felt my child was thoroughly assessed and accurately diagnosed. He took time to talk about the benefits and risks of many options, and confidently yet compassionately shared his opinion. Thank you Dr. Hecht for taking care of us!

Dr Hecht was very understanding of my concerns. He did a complete exam with care. As he suspected, multiple possibilities presented themselves. Dr Hecht proposed multiple options going forward including additional testing to reveal the true nature of my condition. Testing and a follow up consultation were scheduled prior to initiating treatment. Dr Hetch listened to my concerns and created an informed treatment plan. Professional and concise, instilling 100% approval.
