Patient Reviews
Apr 29, 2022
I had an earache for a few months; after a few visits with two doctors in my primary's office and a visit to an ENT specialist there was no cure for this issue. The primary doctors spent about 10 minutes with me and gave me antibiotics; the specialist told me to chew on the other side of my mouth after spending about 5 minutes with me. After that I decided to leave Sussex County again to find a specialist; after researching top Docs I found Dr Wirtshafter. This Doctor does not play around; I had numerous tests performed including hearing test to see if I developed hearing and or nerve damage and a full examination of my ears. The first visit was about an hour+ with the doctor and the technicians for the hearing tests. Bottum line is my earache is gone. I highly recommend this doctor and ENT Allergy
