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. Sercarz performed sinus reconstruction consisting of deviated septum, turbinates, opening my airways in the back and HPV Removal on my tonsil. The care I received from pre-op to post op and after care recovery is impeccable! He is personable, professional and gives the up most outstanding care for his patients. I highly recommend him as an ENT. The knowledge he has and experience made me knew I chose the right surgeon.

Dr. Sercarz removed a lump in my neck back in May 2022. Dr Sercarz is the nicest doctor I have ever met. While I was in the hospital at UCLA he did not miss a day coming to see me. If you or anyone needs a. Complicated procedure I would recommend him very highly. This Doctor became a friend of mine and still checks up on me. I cannot stress how good this doctor treated me and very very professional.

I was suffering from polyps for almost 2 years. Couldn't sleep at night and had a hard time to breath. I saw many doctors and each one gave me different diagnosis. Last February I found Dr. Sercarz and based on his good reviews I made an appointment. He saw me once and ordered CT scan and his recommendations was to remove the polyps. He did perform the surgery and I am so happy with the results. He is very professional.

Dr. Sercarz is an amazing physician. After performing devastating head, neck and mouth surgery on me, I am healthy, still standing and doing fine. Most of all he was very kind to my wife throughout my ordeal.

Dr. Sercarz performed an amazing surgery on our son's tumor several years ago. I wouldn't trust any one else with the type of surgery he had.

Joel was very friendly and actually listened to me, which is not something that all doctors do. He explained my condition and patiently and in a friendly manner answered my questions. He helped prepare me to make future decisions related to my deviated septum and sinus infections. I am now more educated on my condition and have more confidence w/ how to handle it going forward.
