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.

Trusted and Engaging
I highly recommend Dr. Saini for ENT care. He is thorough, professional, engages well with patients, and has a pleasant demeanor. Most importantly, he has earned my trust. Although he is a surgeon, he took the time to rule out potential issues, resulting in a simple solution for me that did not involve surgery.

Excellent physician
After dealing with an extended sinus infection Dr Saini was able to help me. Amazing physician not only for his skills- he exudes compassion, kindness, and pays close attention to every detail. Thank goodness for his decision to become an ENT!

Dr. Saini doesn’t listen to anything I have to say. He’s got it in his head one thing will work. Nothing he has tried worked at all, but he had me keep trying anyway. For MONTHS. He also pushes off some of the nasal symptoms I have, as if it’s okay. Would not recommend at all. If I could leave 1 star, I would.

Dr. Saini took the time to evaluate my son, listen to his symptoms, and genuinely cared about him as a person and as his patient. He went the extra mile to ensure he was seen that day, even after his full day with patients. We are so grateful for his help, for his personable bedside manner, and his high level of professionalism.

Had a persistent drippy nose. Had tried many things. Nothing worked. Dr Saini prescribed a nasal rinse and a nasal spray. It worked beautifully. He took time to demonstrate how to administer each.

Dr. Saini listens to what you tell him, asks pertinent questions, and then proceeds with your medical care. He does an excellent job explaining things in layman's terms and is easy to understand. In my case, he was able to diagnose my problem immediately. He followed up with the appropriate lab work and made the necessary referrals. I had been searching for an answer to my symptoms for approximately seven years and he found it during my first visit! He's an excellent doctor.
