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.

Fabulous, knowledgeable Dr
I saw Dr Kates for the first time and have nothing but good things to say. He diagnosed my issue immediately and spent close to a half hour trying different remedies. I left his office feeling slightly better, but the next day, I was 90% healed. Dr Kates is kind, extremely knowledgeable, professional and truly interested in helping his patients. It’s rare to find a Dr like that these days. I will never go to another ENT.

We trust Dr. Kates and he has great bedside manner with our daughter. He is very thorough and does not push antibiotics or steroids if not needed. We really appreciate that.

It was my and my wife's first time meeting with Dr. Kates. He was quite easy going while maintaining professionalism. He took time with each of us to explain the results of our auditory testing and entertained any and all questions that we had. We both felt very comfortable with Dr. Kates.
