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.

Dr. Bergstein changed my life!
I went to Dr. Bergstein to have wax removed from my ears. While I was there I told him about my past history with allergies. Years of misery, thousands of allergy pills and gallons of nasal decongestant sprays with very little relief. He suggested a nasal endoscopy which was easy and painless. The results were shocking. He saw mucus and stomach acid in my throat which indicated that I was suffering, not from allergies, but from acid reflux!! The bottom line is, I am feeling great and symptom free. Dr. Bergstein is a great physician who enjoys what he does and he has made my life a lot better.

Fantastic choice
Had deviated septum surgery performed by Dr. Bergstein, everything was incredible start to finish. Staff in his offices are great, he follows up consistently until you're all healed and he's the best at what he does.

Dr.Michael Bergstein, a great doctor
I have been a patient of Dr. Michael Bergstein going on 30 years. I would not go anywhere else, even if he moved an hour away. He is an excellent diagnostician, very warm and friendly. He explains everything to me and answers any and all questions that I pose to him. He never rushes, takes his time in examining me. He is just a very nice person. I am a retired dentist, retired psychotherapist, and retired professor in two universities, and when I go to a physician, I look for all the above traits. I found them in Dr. Bergstein. In short, he is the perfect doctor. On a scale from 1-10, I give him a 15. Stanley Weiss, DDS,FAGD,MS

A Great Doctor
I had sinus surgery with Dr. Bergstein and he was great. His office was always prompt, he explained the process very well, and he gave me his cell-phone number after surgery in case of complications. Wonderful doctor that I would highly recommend.

Dr. B is the Best!
I had a septoplasty and sinus surgery just over a month ago from Dr. Bergstein and I cannot say enough about him. As a 22 year old, it was really great to have a doctor who made a conscious effort to answer all of my parents’ questions and assure us that I was in good hands. You can tell he has done this a million times—his work was flawless and my nose healed very well with little pain. As long as you follow his post-op instructions, you can trust you will feel better after surgery with Dr. Bergstein!

BEST DOCTOR EVER!!
I recently underwent septoplasty and rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Michael Bergstein, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Dr. Bergstein not only understood my aesthetic goals but also addressed my functional concerns with precision and expertise. Throughout the entire process, he was attentive and made sure I felt comfortable and informed. Dr. Bergstein's surgical skills were evident in the flawless outcome of my procedures, achieving exactly what I had hoped for. His dedication didn't stop in the operating room; he went out of his way to checkup that I had a smooth recovery, providing thorough post-operative care and support. I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Bergstein and would highly recommend him to anyone considering similar surgeries.

You don't have to suffer!
So glad I chose Dr. Bergstein to do my deviated septum surgery. I've been suffering from a runny nose and breathing problems most of my adult life. Now, my nose is normal--I can breath and no more dripping! I should have done it 20 years ago. Don't hesitate!

Amazing Surgeon
This is literally the kindest and smartest doctor I’ve ever met. I had multiple opinions on sinus issues for a year from others. Dr. Bergstein operated on my sinuses and cured me completely of my breathing issues!

Nasal to correct sinus issues
Everything about the procedure was positive from start to finish. The surgical director did an outstanding job communicating all the steps involved from start to finish. Dr. Bergstein did an excellent job explaining the procedure. The surgery center staff was very welcoming and professional. The surgery itself went very smoothly. the recovery went as explained. I could not have been happier with the results!

I had just recently had a fall and fractured my nose , had surgery with him on 2/9/24 at NWH and all I can say about Dr Bergstein is simply amazing, I would highly recommend him for anything because he listens and does not rush you out of the office. I would like to say something about his Surgical Coordinator Jeanine Spagnuolo, she is amazing as well made this whole experience as easy as possible and the best part she responds to your emails so quick . I want to thank you both for taking care of my needs.

Excellent Surgeon
I was referred to Dr Bergstein after having a molar pulled which caused a very large fistula between my oral and sinus cavities. Dr Bergstein determined I would need surgery to close it, clean out a serious infection in both cavities which resulted from the fistula and also repair a deviated septum. He introduced me to a great oral surgeon who assisted/partnered with the surgical procedure. Dr Bergstein explained my procedure in detail and told me what to expect. He's very straight forward which is appreciated. All aspects of my surgery were successful and the healing time was pretty extensive with many follow up visits to both surgeons. Dr Bergstein always fielded my questions post surgery even on a weekend!

Outstanding Doctor!
My family and I are long time patients of Dr.Bergstien, an exceptionally caring and skilled ENT specialist who truly stands out in his field. Dr. Bergstien is nothing short of outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend his services, especially if you're seeking care for both adults and children. One of the things that struck me most about Dr. Bergstien was his exceptional ability to connect with patients of all ages, with humor included. He makes you feel that is ONLY objective is to get you better. Dr. B takes the time to explain every step of the process in a way that was easy to understand, whether I was the patient or my child was. This made me feel comfortable and informed throughout the visit.Dr. Bergstien's patience and compassion with children is truly remarkable. He has a unique ability to make my children feel relaxed and at ease during what can often be a daunting experience. His gentle demeanor and kid-friendly explanations made all the difference.

A doctor who cares AND delivers
Dr. Bergstein changed my life. For over 10 years, my “normal” was going through a tissue box a day, always having sinus infections and always having a running nose. Dr. B helped me decide enough was enough and to fix my sinus issues ahead of my wedding day. I can now breathe through my nose, don’t use tissues, and feel healthy again. Thank you, Dr. B for giving me my life back.

Trust Dr. Bergstein!
I was referred to Dr. Bergstein after not having any sense of smell or taste for over a year. I used over the counter treatments, holistic treatments, treatments prescribed by my internist - nothing helped. I thought my anosmia was the result of COVID-19. I was miserable and resigned to my situation. Then I met Dr. Bergstein. He quickly determined that my anosmia was the result of inflamed sinuses and in a few short visits my I was literally stopping to smell the roses. I can't thank him enough for making me feel better and enjoying all things I missed for so long - namely chocolate. He is wonderful, patient, profession and thorough. He helped me and I'm confident he will help you.

Best Decision I Made for Myself
I had a severely deviated septum and Dr. Bergstein made me good as new. He fully explained the procedure and what to expect and provided me with helpful documentation on how to prepare for my procedure. The day of the surgery was so smooth and I came home with zero pain. I mean it; I had no pain! Additionally, I had no bruising and no changes to the outward appearance of my nose. At each follow up, Dr. Bergstein was gentle and talked me through each process with removing the splints and what to expect in the coming days. I can finally breathe out my nose, my snoring has subsided, and I am not stuffy or nasally like I was in the past. My only regret is not doing this procedure sooner.
