Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Sleep apnea
I recently changed insurance and was referred by my primary. I have been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and have used a cpap machine for over 15 years. I just needed a new cpap unit. Since I was under a new insurance he ordered a home sleep study. He said the home sleep study showed no events. Even though I have been diagnosed prior with severe sleep apnea he would not pursue it with insurance. He said he couldn't make a case for an in office sleep study. I stopped using the machine and couldn't stay awake past 11 am the next day. My throat was sore every morning! I went back to the old unit and am feeling much better. I will be seeking a second opinion! Severe to none without further study. I find that hard to believe.

Awful
I am absolutely disgusted by the treatment I received from Dr. Oshinsky. He spent most of our visit berating and ridiculing me, refused to listen when I described issues I'd had with a previous ENT (telling me 'that would never have happened'), and generally treated me with complete disrespect. He is deeply unprofessional and incredibly unkind. I strongly discourage anyone from visiting his office.

Do Not See This Man!
I have never been treated so badly! Went to him for my ear but he actually patted my stomach and discussed weight loss. Told me not to go to the gym but walk at the mall. When I tried to explain my ear problem he told me we would never get through the appointment if I didn't stop talking. He said more derogatory things about me and I was too stunned to get up and leave. After all this he misdiagnosed the actual problem. Unbelievable that this man is still practicing medicine. Run from him.

I don't know where to begin; however, after the third visit, I was wide-eyed in disbelief that this man was still licensed and that his staff had put up with his shenanigans. Oshinsky's came with an out malevolence accusation out of nowhere that we didn't seem to believe his prognoses and became immensely irritated and aggressive. Does not read prior notes or does not remember patients even after the third visit in the same month. Insulting and unfiltered childish behavior treats staff horribly.

My daughter has been seeing Dr Oshinsky for years, since she was a teenager. He has always did a great job! He finds the issue and cures it quickly. He explains everything so you understand before you leave his office. Also very quick to get appointment.

Terrible medicine provider. Entitled attitude with no desire to actually help patients. Worst medical provider I have ever been to. Will NOT return to the practice.

As someone who has grown up around medical doctors, whose mom is a RN.... This guy scared me!! No genuine care here! I refused treatment for my loved one. Everyone won’t have the courage to say no when someone is in a position of power over you and you believe a doctor, a helper, a healer... NOT THE CASE—DONT ALLOW HIM TO SEE YOU!!

I've been seeing Dr. Oshinsky for the past few weeks and he has been excellent. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends. He takes time to make sure you are comfortable and to answer all questions patiently. Many doctors rush in and rush out, not Dr. O. It has been years since I have seen a doctor as willing to spend time with me. His staff is also extremely kinds and caring.
