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.

Simply the best!
Finding a doctor like Dr. Ajar is truly rare these days. He is always punctual, ensures his patients receive the earliest possible appointment, and personally returns calls with genuine care and attentiveness. His expertise and extensive experience are evident in every visit, making you feel completely confident in his care. On top of that, he has a fantastic sense of humor and a warm, friendly demeanor that puts you at ease instantly. The combination of skill, professionalism, and personality is what sets him apart from the rest. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have found him, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-tier specialist. Simply the best!

Outstanding ENT
Dr Ajar was able to see me 1 day after my call for a severe strep throat. He is extremely thorough with history and exam. As a cancer patient I was worried about the infection spreading quickly but he prescribed the appropriate antibiotics and put my mind at ease.I would highly recommend him.

Doing my research, I stumbled upon Dr. Ajar’s pristine reviews. I called and was surprised because he answered the phone himself! I thought I had the wrong number. From the phone, he was very personable and friendly. When I came in today, again, he was manning the front desk. He walked me through questions and helped me understand more about sinuses and what to look for. He gave me options instead of pushing to run numerous unnecessary procedures. Wish all doctors were communicative as him!

I chose doctor Amir Ajar because I saw good reviews about him on google. I was desperate to find someone who could help with my clogged ears. I couldn't be happier. He is a good doctor who explained everything to me about what was causing my discomfort and what it will take to get better. I left his office feeling calmer and confident that I will be better. I totally recommend this amazing doctor.

Dr. Ajar went and above to accommodate me after consuming a foreign object at a fast food restaurant. Upon arrival instead of stressing over new patient paperwork he attended to my medical needs. Dr. Ajar turned an extremely stressful situation into complete calm. From a place of gratitude “Thank you !”

Finally a doctor who really cares about his patients! Dr. Ajar trained in Vermont and New Hampshire and brings that same small town mentality to Torrance! I have not seen a physician this smart, caring, genuine, and funny in a long time! Go and see him if you have any ear, nose, or throat problems! You will be so happy you did! I have been recommending him to all of my friends, co-workers, and family! Also, ZERO wait time! Finally a doc that runs on time every time!

I don't know what is going on with seeing specialists in the South Bay - after calling all around and being told ridiculous waits to be seen, one office recommended Dr. Ajar - who recently opened in the area. He was able to schedule me much more quickly. I went it just happy to be seen quickly, but wow - what a great visit! He is such a friendly, confident and personable doctor. Thank you thank you thank you!

Referred by my PCP who has never steered me wrong on specialists and it really was a great visit. Dr. Ajar is a very calm, poised and knowledgeable physician. Went out of his way to make me laugh during the visit too! He explained all my options to me and we came up with the plan together. The problem I had is fixed and I couldn't be happier. Since that visit I've told all my friends and family who need a quality ENT physician to look no further than Dr. Ajar. Truly one of a kind!
