Patient Reviews
Jun 16, 2025
I’ve had a scope done before for chronic sinus issues, during my one and only appt with him not only was he cold and brisk with my partner asking clarification questions, the way he administered the scope hurt way more even with the numbing spray, and I had a nose bleed for an hour afterwards. The intake Nurse and Desk staff were the only reason I would even give 1 star
