Dr. Kenneth Alan Remsen, MD

Dr Remsen took care of my sinus surgery many years ago and I have not had a sinus infection since. I go to him annually to get my ears cleaned.

Many years ago this supposed doctor was going to give drainage in my nose. He operated on me and I was sent home and by Early evening I had 104fever and green and yellow pouring out of my nose. and eyes swollen and half open. Called his office and no covering doc. He was on vacation. Had to go to ER. Got a shot and sent home. Next day internist admitted me to the hospital where I was put on steroids, and antibiotics intravenously. Infectious doctor called in. Sent home but had to be readmitted with same problems. When Remsin returned he was confronted by my internist and was nasty to her and she called in another ENT to care for me and told me never to see him again. 16 years later my nose is still a mess Every ENT I have seen told me he collapsed my nose inside so my nose does not get enough air and my turbinates swell causing infection. This Remsin has a terrible reputation with many ENT doctors as far as NYC. He wrecked my life as I have constant infections and too many antibiotics… and steroids to try to help me. I filed a charge against him with NJ Medical Board accompanied by doctor letters when this happened and they did nothing to him. So much for them too. Stay away from this incompetent and arrogant excuse for a doctor.

Many years ago I had him remove my thyroid. He paralyzed both of my vocal cords and after 3 months of going once a week and he did nothing I went to NY. I was put in the hospital within 15 minutes of seeing my doctor there. Before I knew what happened I had a trach in my throat which I still have today. 11 surgeries to get me to where I am. It has taken all our savings going back and forth to NY since I live in Florida. Thankful I had kids that lived in NJ. In between surgeries we came home to Fl. Very expensive let alone the anger in me. He made a mess out of my life. I think God for the support from family, friends and the doctor in NY who saved my life.

I had an appointment setup with Dr Remsen for my 2 month old son for a procedure. The appointment was scheduled over a week in advanced, plus I had called the day prior to get any special instructions. Three hours before the appointment I received a phone call that Dr Remsen could no longer perform surgeries any more and that the appointment would need to be cancelled. This was a huge waste of time for me considering I had to make arrangements at work. Very unprofessional.

My office visit was bizarre in hindsight. He sent me for a cat scan and then refused to talk to me to discuss the results or answer any questions I had. A person in his office finally told me to go to a neurologist when I was perplexed. During the visit he was in full on CYA mode since he realized he very likely didn't do the appropriate diagnostic tests for my symptoms months earlier. He forcefully told me that I came in for a sore throat. I was flabbergasted and didn't know what he was talking about. I stated that I came in for nasal pain. He corrected me more than once and told me that no I came in for a sore throat. I finally caught on as to what he was getting at. I told him I don't care and that I just want to find out what is wrong. Completely bizarre incompetent person. Stay away. This is your health. Not competent.

Dr. R has performed my surgery! and he also did my dads and friend surgery!! i think he is great

i had my nose surgery done with Dr. Remsen and recently my father had his nose surgery done with Dr. Remsen. I also know of 4 other people who had surgery with him and he is great!! did great work! very happy! his office was very prompt and he did everything he was suppose to.

I deal with patients in a daily basis for 19 years now. I shared with the providers in my office how horrible my experience was so we never leave a patient feeling the way I left this office. I had many syptoms that the Dr made me feel weren't real, and that the xray I had from an ER visit had an artifact on it not a calcified nodule. I changed Dr's rnded up with an utrasound, FNA, now a biopsy and possible thyroidectomy. Wether or not thyroid cancer is terminal or not it is very scary and your patients should be treated professionally. I hope in the future patients receive more consideration than I was given.

I've been going to Dr. Remsen for years. He did surgery on me, . He was so re-assuring as I was terrified. He is very educated and answers all my questions. He may not have the most joyous bedside manner but I rather have a doctor who knows what they're doing rather then a "huggy" "want to be your friend" doctor. I am confident with him and he takes care of me. I highly recommend him.

My experience with this doctor was awful. He makes it clear that he doesn't care - he invests minimal time with patients and is annoyed when asked questions. He has a pompous attitude and did not make me feel comfortable. I never left the office feeling assured. He is not compassionate and arrogant, the staff at the front of the office are rude - he may be knowledgeable, but lacks the ability to connect with his patients and build a level of trust. Will not be returning.
