Patient Reviews
Nov 29, 2022
I had been chronically sick with a sinus infection and various other related complications from July until October. After no improvement in my symptoms for 2 months, I finally got recommend to see an ENT in September—that ENT was Dr. Sarpa. Dr. Sarpa was helpful my first visit—he did techniques that led my ears to pop about an hour after my appointment after I had tried everything. He also ordered that I get an x-ray as from what he could see, I had a bone fragment in my nose sticking out causing the chronic infection. I came back for the x-ray but they actually scheduled me for a CT scan—a much more expensive imaging technique which is unnecessary if you’re examining bone. Dr. Sarpa called me the next day to give me the results—he said I had an infected sinus (you think I didn’t know that?) and mentioned nothing about a bone. He also said that it was “my 3rd visit with him. Do you want the surgery or not? There isn’t anything else I can do.” I only had 1 visit with him. He was very rude, dismissive, and and interrupted me on the phone, and it didn’t seem like he was even talking to the right patient. Confused, I decided not to pursue anything with Dr. Sarpa—even though my sinus symptoms persisted—until I got very sick again around Halloween. Dr. Sarpa’s office couldn’t get me in until after Thanksgiving. Frustrated with being sick for 4 months straight, I asked to schedule the surgery. His nurse said I needed to make an appointment for that. I did & that appointment ended with Dr. Sarpa saying I did not need it and all he would do is drain my sinuses which were no longer clogged when I went back to him at the end of November. He was dismissive, he interrupted me multiple times, and was rude. His office was not timely and his nurse could never answer my questions, nor did they relay them to Dr. Sarpa. I would not trust Dr. Sarpa with your health. Bet even Dr. Sarpa’s mom doesn’t even rely on him for health concerns.
