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.

Dr. Matar
Dr. Matar has been our doctor for 20 years. He has always been attentive, skillful and reassuring. The office staff has always been accommodating and efficient.

Rude & Only Cares About Money
Except for the receptionist, Carly, this office is awful. If I knew what I was in for I would never have wasted my time. Dr. Matar was beyond rude, did not listen or care about my concerns & symptoms, made sure to do a ct scan to make money (even though I came with one and an extensive report with it), and when he heard what insurance I had he immediately said “nothing is wrong & that insurance is a problem paying”. I’ve seen multiple ENTs and none except Dr. Matar said nothing was wrong and all except him said I need a procedure done. Awful.
