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.

My visit with Dr. Carew today was, simply put, perfect. I did not have to wait to be seen. He remembered me from having done my thyroid surgery years ago. He listened as I explained my current symptoms, then told me what he suspected and did a simple test which required looking through a tube down my throat. He did this gently and quickly, then explained I have "Silent Reflux". He told me in detail and by drawing a picture, exactly what was causing my symptoms, the medications that could help, and his recommendations regarding my diet. You will not find a kinder, more thorough, skilled, knowledgeable, caring and personable doctor anywhere. I trust him explicitly and feel so fortunate he was available to perform my surgery in the past and still care for me today. He said I will likely not have to return for a visit- if I follow his instructions I will get well... but I am so grateful he is here, practicing in NYC, if I need him.

I have seen Dr. Carew twice in the last two months. August was for a sinus related issue and this time for allergies. Dr. Carew prescribed the right treatments both times, very gentle in examining the sinuses. He is a fabulous doctor, and found him on NextDoor. I recommend him very highly and he is a 10!!

excellent Dr, who came highly recommended and for good reason. Besides being very knowledgeable in his field, he is patient, calm and explains in a way that doesn't worry you. I went to him for hearing loss (assymmetric sensoneural) and he treated me well with medication and few tests, wasn't over jealous with the testing. He has a helpful staff as well. Wish there were more doctors like him, I came to him after a terrible experience with another ENT doctor.

I was referred to Dr. Carew for an accute ear problem (ear clugged, sudden loss of hearing). Dr. Carew saw me on very short notice, as a new patient. He was extremely caring, nice and very efficient. He immediately identified the problem , explained it very clearly, took my time answering questions and gave me options regarding treatment. Couldn't have found a more caring specialist. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Carew is a true professional. During my visit, he delivered a range of treatments for my diagnosis, and they were extremely effective. Beyond this, he took the time to explain my issue in plain English, was a good listener, and answered the questions I had. The cherry on top: his staff were friendly, easy to work with and office was very clean. I highly recommend Dr. Carew for anything ear, nose or throat related.

I visited Dr. Carew's office for treatment of my chronic sinus problem. It was a good choice because I received excellent treatment and medication. Dr. Carew put me immediately at ease by his friendly manner. After the examination, he performed a nasal procedure to determine the degree of infection. The procedure was painless. Dr. Carew then recommenced effective medication which has improved my sinus condition. I highly recommend Dr. Carew for his outstanding medical practice and kindness.

My visit was for constant post-nasal drip, inability to fully clear the throat even with constant coughing, and difficulty swallowing. Dr. Carew’s examination was careful, thorough, and informative, since he explained everything he was doing. He then fully explained my problem/condition and the process needed for improvement. There was no doubt that he truly cared about my problems and about me as a person. He gets my highest recommendation.
