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.

Highly recommend Dr Peter Hwang.
Dr Peter Hwang has provided excellent care before, during, and after complex sinus surgery. His calm, confident, patient demeanor helped me and my family to build trust in his skills as a surgeon and physician. We are truly grateful for his skilled care and and knowledge which has led to a full and quick recovery for a sphenoid sinus concern. We highly recommend Dr. Hwang for any ENT sinus related concerns.

I was suffering from breathing issues caused by a deviated septum, enlarged nasal turbinates, and nasal valve collapse. Dr. Peter Hwang correctly diagnosed the issues I was experiencing and went above and beyond in his consultation process. He recommended his colleague Dr. JP Pepper to perform the deviated septum portion of the surgery due to the nasal valve collapse. Dr. Hwang performed the turbinate reduction and septal body shave. The first 5 days or so after the surgery were a little rough, but a couple of months in now it was totally worth it! My breathing has improved immensely and no longer have been experiencing any congestion after the surgery. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Hwang highly enough or his colleague Dr. Pepper. They both did a fantastic job and the surgery was a total game changer!
