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.

The last ENT you'll ever have to visit
For over a year I suffered with headaches, sore throat, post nasal drip, eye pain and tooth pain. Went to dentist, optometrist and ENT. All the EN told me was that I had no disease. Finally, found Dr. Lanza. In one visit he diagnosed possible silent acid reflux. I never heard of it, but I did what he told me and, of course, as you can guess. It was a very happy ending. I just recommended him to a friend with an incessant cough.

I met Dr. Lanza 10 years ago on an airplane when he commented about my incessant cough. I became a patient. Recent serious sinus complications brought me to his office again. He would be anyone's most desired type of doctor. Simply the best in every way.

Dr. Lanza is very knowledgeable. He thinks out of the box if needed. As I type this I see my own review from April, 2018. I can honestly say he still has come through to help me even when others didn't know what to do. I am told by other specialists he doesn't usually work with people in my situation. I am so thankful he has for over two years.

I am truly thankful to have found Dr. Lanza and he has been my doctor since 2005. He is still as attentive and caring as he was the first time I met him. He spends time with me and is extremely proactive in my care. I highly recommend him.

Dr Donald Lanza MD has been my Sinus ENT my for many years. I fly from CT &or Stuart FL to his office in St. Pete, FL as he understands my unusual & complex ENT issues which requires scoping & draining both my sinuses & if needed he does cultures to determine the bacterial (currrent infection type) & promptly puts me on the proper antibiotics.. My condition, is complex, but he is very patient, listens & understands. I have seen many many ENT, he is Top of the Line.

Best doctor ever , with a big heart. He saved my son's life from sinus cancer. He was the only doctor willing to do surgery on my 11 y/o son and took everything out thru his nose. Him and Dr. Alla Solyar really care for their patients. I can't thank them. I am truly blessed God put them in our path.

Dr. Lanza is the best doctor I have ever had. He is smart, funny, charming and good looking. I was really sick when I saw him and I was really sad and depressed....hopeless. He literally saved my life. He is the go to guy when you need his expertise. I would recommend him to everybody. I am a registered nurse so I have experience with doctors and he is on the top of his field. The staff is friendly and helpful.
