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.

What a great Doctor
Dr Eli Grunstein is very patient, intelligent and knowledgeable in his field of study, very thorough and attentive to details. He took his time to explain what other Doctors couldn't see and understand. He made my daughter calm and comfortable during her procedure. We went home happy after my daughter's procedure. My daughter likes him, call him the nice Doctor. I will highly recommend him, he is simply the best Doctor ever.

I highly recommend Dr. Grunstien.
He's great at dealing with super difficult kids. He's calm and pleasant, knowledgeable and skilled (saw and identified issues that the regular drs overlooked and only when I told them what Dr. Grunstien said they agreed that they were able to see it also after looking specifically for it) and explained it all so clearly. Thank you Dr. Grunstien! My daughter is doing so much better and no longer complaining every day!

Dr. G is the OG ENT
Dr. G is the best! Old-world doctoring -- e.g., patient, kind, caring, knowledgeable. You feel at ease not just because he tells jokes and gets your kid laughing but because he is clearly a master of everything ear nose and throat with years of experience.

An Amazing Doctor
Dr. Grunstein took the time to listen to my daughter explain her symptoms and asked great clarifying questions. He was very personable making my daughter feel very comfortable. He explained what he was going to do and what he was doing during the visit. He made sure to let us know that we were to contact him if her symptoms continue and didn’t get better. He even called me when we left to make sure he sent her prescription to the correct pharmacy as we had just changed ours. I’ve recommended him over the years and will continue to recommend him as long as he practices.
