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.

Amazing dr.
Dr. Bittar fixed my nose several times after it was broken. I thought it would never look the same but he fixed it and am so glad with the results. 6 stars out of 5!

Dismissive Doc - proceed with caution
Dr. Bittar said my septum was seriously deviated and advised a septoplasty. I'd never had significant issues but the promise of better breathing made me believe I didn't know how bad I had it. The recovery for this is much worse than I was led to believe. After recovering, I realized that there was no difference and I am reasonably certain that this op was completely unnecessary. 8 months post op. I feel pressure in my nose that I thought would go away in time but after 8 months, I decide to follow up. He agrees that this shouldn't last more than 3 months but otherwise is dismissive. Some quotes from Dr. Bittar: "Maybe you are thinking of your nose too much" "Try not to think about your nose so much" "I've done over 6,000 of these" I was polite and patient but no matter my inquiry, Dr. Bittar seemed convinced that I was making up symptoms. I will find another ENT rather than argue with a doc that isn't willing or capable of dealing with something unexpected.

It's 2:40 and my appointment was at 2:00. No one has bothered to explain the delay and they just took back a patient whose appointment is not until 2:45. When I spoke up they told me she arrived before me, so apparently they ignore appointment times and work on a first come, first served basis. I can't say I'm surprised because my last visit also had long wait with no communication. I really like Dr. Bittar but the staff is not at all friendly and I don't think I'll be back.

Dr Bittar cared for me during an emergency 6-day hospitalization and again a year later for an unrelated surgery. I received the best care possible during the hospitalization, follow-up, surgery, and post-surgical care. (It was also nice, pre-surgery, to hear how much the surgical center staff and my surgery team like him.) Dr Bittar is very good at what he does; he also listens and has a caring manner which I appreciate. When I contact his office with a question or a concern I know they will get back to me soon. Dr B even called me himself once to follow up on an issue. I recommend him completely.

If I could give him 6 stars, I would. Dr. Bittar changed my life. I haven't been able to breath from my left nostril since I was 8. He corrected my deviated septum and cleaned out decades of sinus inflammation. It feels weird being able to breath out of my nose now. I was also really concerned about having my first-ever surgery, but his confidence and deep expertise put me at ease. He took his time to explain everything to me, review my CT scan results, and explain what he was going to do. I can't recommend Dr. Bittar enough.

I've had Dr. Bittar perform several procedures on me and he is the greatest. I almost wish I had some reason to see him because he and his staff are a pleasure to have taking care of you. If you have need for an ENT doctor, this is the man you want to be treating you!

My adult daughter had her tonsils removed and a septoplasty performed 2 years ago with excellent results. I took the plunge last December and had a septoplasty with turbinate reduction performed on my nose. A month later and I wish I did this 30 years ago! Everything from the time I called to make an appointment to the paperwork and insurance was done so professionally. Dr Bittar is a genuinely nice doctor who you can trust.

Dr. Bittar removed my son's tonsils and adenoids as well as two seperate surgeries for tubes in his ears. His staff is always friendly and he is very personable with my young children. He has been a God send! His staff even got my son in on short notice when he got a pebble in his ear at daycare! The Audiologist is equally amazing! I would definitely recommend him to anyone requiring an ENT. He listens to all my concerns and displays nothing but patience with my son's fear of tongue depressors.

Had an appointment to have a hearing test. Saw the doctor but the lady who administers the hearing test was not there. Total waste of my entire morning. Plus I waited a long time just to see the doctor. Won't be going back.
