“Terrific professional”

Dr. Zaretsky was professional and knowledgeable. I have been experiencing sinus pressure for over 5 years now, it makes me sleepy, uncomfortable and many times has lead to sinus infections. I was hesitant to have a procedure done as all may be, but after a few visits with Dr. Zaretsky I felt comfortable and knew that this was the right choice for me. I am so grateful to her. I can now experience the least amount of sinus pressure I have in over 5 years as well as not need to constantly utilize nasal sprays to reduce the chance of sinus infections. Thank you

I don’t do reviews, they aren’t my thing, but Dr. Z definitely deserves it. I’m a huge skeptic of doctors, most of them are clueless, but Dr. Z went above and beyond. She explained how every step of the Turbinate Reduction procedure would work, and what she said is exactly what happened. Normal, down to earth woman who’s awesome at her job!

“Very positive experience with Dr. Acker.”

I told Dr. Acker on my last visit, that he was a very good doctor, and I was very pleased with his patience, and the time he always took to explain anything that he was doing, and especially the procedure I was having done. He always asked me if I had any questions, and took the time to answer them, and any concerns I may have had. He never made me feel rushed, or like he was worried about moving on to the next patient. Definitely would recommend Dr. Acker :)

Dr. Acker found cancer within minutes. Next day I received scans. He sent me right to a lung specialist’s. Within 3 weeks my cancer tripled in size. If Dr Acker didn’t find it when he did I would have died

“Life transforming”

For Dr. Sugrue has a gift. I used to have constant ringing in my ear gone; my head was full of pressure 24/7 I couldn't breathe through my nose. Those situations are no more an issue. I was out of breath; if I would go up a set of stairs now, I could run like a teenager and still have breath left over. From my experience with Dr. Sugrue, I would hear grumbling in the waiting area to be seen; he's worth it; people wait hours for fancy restaurants. Meanwhile, your life will be changed if you get the opportunity to have him as your doctor. You are blessed
