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.

Nasal septoplasty with turbinate reduction
The whole process went well. Woke up back in the room. No pain from surgery, just where I bit my tongue in recovery. They said I would probably have a sore throat, but that was fine. Did have a dry mouth because I couldn't breath through the nose. Next day after surgery I sneezed 3 times and then my throat hurt. I'm very pleased with the results from the surgery.

Felt rushed
I understand that medical professionals has busy schedules and lots of other patients to see, but I felt like my appointment with Dr. Behler was rushed. He talked over me at times and I didn’t really feel heard. It felt like he just wanted me in and out of the office. This visit with him made me feel as though I was wasting his time and mine. I wouldn’t recommend this doctor to anyone after my experience with him. The rest of the staff were kind though.

Life-changing care
The surgery he performed is life-changing. I can breathe normally, without discomfort, congestion, or coughing; something I haven’t been able to do in 30 years. After years of other ENT doctors telling me there was nothing they could do, and CT scans that they claimed showed nothing abnormal, he listened to me. He assured me that I didn’t have to suffer anymore; that my quality of life would be greatly improved with surgery. Nearly a week after the procedure, I am breathing normally, without discomfort of any kind. Dr. Behler and his team changed my life. Today’s follow-up visit was thorough, and his team are all very kind, reassuring and professional.

The Best!
Dr. Behler is an outstanding otolaryngologist. Very good communicator, listens to all my concerns and has multiple options. Gives me medical options as well. Never rushed. No one else I'd rather see for my nasal and sinus symptoms. He also sees my children for pediatric ENT needs (has done surgery to fix their issues, and they are doing great!)
