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.

For almost 25 year Dr Newman has seen many in our family for ENT issues, some simple some life threatening. An unparalleled diagnostic sense and diligent science background helped with sinus, ear and throat issues. Most of these time, meds and diligent follow up has helped. Back in 2014, however, on my complaints of ear blocking coming down a small hill numerous times, she felt my neck and checked me over. Her vast experience now sensed something potentially serious. I had 30 minutes to be across the street at Cedar Sinai Sinai Imaging for scan. This was almost evening time. Scan showed something suspicious which ultimately proven to be Cancer in my throat and a throw off to one of the right lymph nodes. Other test were ultimately ordered to pinpoint everything. Without this skilled keen sense and years of practice, I would not be here 8 years laterals almost 80 years of age. I had 8 hours of surgery, 35 rounds over 8 weeks of neck, throat Radiation and concurrent every week or more Chemotherapy. So if it was a balance issue, a sinus infection, allergy or bad cold, Dr Newman was always there to help. This is why 5 stars and of course I am not her only patient. Attitude always great, sometimes overloaded with an office of sick people, but always there to remember every detail of your case. A blessing for any patient. I am lucky to have my life today because of her skills.

Lack of care caused cancer to spread
Terrible. Shall I start with the office always being difficult to work with Or shall I start with the “Doctor’s” inability to diagnose Cancer?

Old school doctor who knows her stuff, does her job well, and isn't trying to sell you on any of the bologna (which is very rare to find these days). She was fast, meticulous, efficient, and very friendly and I enjoyed the visit very much. Would definitely recommend Dr. Newman to anyone in need of an ENT!

Dr. Anita Newman is simply the best ENT doctor I have ever consulted. I am prone to ear infections which are not always easy to diagnose. Dr. Newman's diagnostic skills are second to none. I drive over an hour and a half to Dr. Newman's office for treatment. I have been a patient of Dr. Newman for over a decade and her skills, experience and thoughtful manner never cease to amaze me.
