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.

Outstanding ENT
Dr Kacker has been our family doctor for many years for sinus, and we feel very lucky to have found him. Caring, knowledgeable, personable and practical, he sees the whole picture and helps patients use a variety of techniques to manage their conditions without exclusively relying upon drugs and surgery. I could not recommend anyone more highly.

Always excellent care as a physician and surgeon
Dr. Kacker has been my physician for a few years: medical care and surgery. I couldn't have a better, kinder and expert doctor. Wouldn't go to anyone else, even though I moved out of NYC and it takes over 2 hours to get to NYPWC.
