I had a surgery done a few weeks ago with Dr. Nithan Adappa and his crew at university of Penn, the service given was beyond expectations, the team is very professional and treated me with warm hands and made me feel completely comfortable about my surgery and even after the surgery done they made sure that I am feeling well and sound. There’s no words to describe how much of caring they give to the patient and how outstanding and welcoming the team is. I appreciate all what you’ve done for me and I highly recommend the Dr. and his whole team. God bless you all

Dr Adappa is an excellent physician. Kind, compassionate and the best ENT in his field. Their is no one else we would have wanted to operate on our daughter!

Dr. Adappa has a wonderful disposition and a great bed-side manner. He listens, understands, makes the patient feel at ease and his knowledge and experience in his field make him an exceptional surgeon. His staff is also just as courteous and thorough. His clinical secretary Judy returns calls immediately and actually follows through within minutes on things such as pre-autorization forms etc which Ive witnessed other doctors and their staff "get around to it when it was convenient for them" days later. Dr. Adappa also has a wonderful nurse who too, returns calls immediately and truly cares about each patient to the point where she will call even on weekends to check on how the patient is feeling. She made arrangements one weekend post my surgery to have an on-call doc meet my family member in the hospital for a script I needed. They are the definition of true patient care and would highly recommend this office. Clearly Dr.Adappa Rocks!
