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.

Great doctor who spends time explaining test results and options with the patient. Highly recommend for all types of ENT medical issues.

Dr. Wakstein has an incredible bed side manner. He treats my son for both allergy injections and ear canal issues resulting in tubes. I feel very confident in the care he gives us. Highly recommend

I have great respect for Dr. Wakstein. He recently performed 2 surgeries on me, a major nasal polyp removal and septoplasty on me. My whole family just loves him. He also helped diagnose my sleep apnea. Now that my apnea and snoring is controlled my wife and I can sleep together again. Thank you Andy!

If you need an ENT, go to this Dr. He listens to you, he explains things, he doesn't treat you like a number. He is one of the most thorough Drs I've been to in years. I don't know why it took me so long to find him. If there was a ten star rating, I would give it. His office staff is also excellent, I called the Allentown office and the woman was so helpful. I actually ended up going to Palmerton, and everyone there was very friendly and helpful too. That says and means a lot.
