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.

Thyroidectomy
Dr. Mehta was extremely easy to talk to. Bedside manner was outstanding prior to and after surgery. He explained the entire procedure including any potential complications and post-surgery challenges that could occur.

Great Doctor
Dr. Mehta is simply outstanding. This last winter I was diagnosed with an early type of head/neck cancer. After being bounced around by a large medical group I was referred to Dr. Mehta. He quickly assessed my situation, reviewed the diagnostic tests I had, and immediately took over my care. He developed a thorough and comprehensive plan with more diagnostic tests and biopsies. He saw to it that they were completed in a timely fashion. After this exhaustive, meticulous process Dr. Mehta gave me surgical options and solid recommendations. My surgery was completed without any complications and I was able to return to work the Monday after surgery. My cancer is gone and I am on the road to full recovery, thanks to Dr. Mehta. Dr Mehta is very caring, thorough, provided explanations and was responsive to my needs. The entire team was friendly, scheduling was handled without hassle and the nursing staff answered my questions and addressed my needs without hesitation. I can strongly

Run from this doctor.
He is arrogant, non caring and didn’t explain anything. Did his examination and told you what you have. I asked questions but it appeared to annoy him. Felt like he had more important things to do. He didn’t even tell me he prescribed medications. I found out at the front desk when I asked for the report. The office personnel didn’t care either. Didn’t know what to do when he made a referral to another doctor. I had to find out what to do. Also the prescription was not sent to the pharmacy, I had to call the office to have them send it in. Terrrible place. A comedy of errors. I am going to get a second opinion. Run and beware. Snake

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Mehta was very patient, kind and knowledgeable. Diagnosed my problem immediatly but had to refer me to a colligue for surgery. He did everything he could to make things manageable for me until I could see the other surgeon and his efforts were greatly appreciated. He even came to the hospital before my surgery to meet with me and my surgeon.

Search no more - Dr. Mehta is the one. He made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. He respected me as an individual and it made all the difference. He took the time to explain each step of the process and answered all of my questions with patience. I cannot sing his praises enough. I would not hesitate to return to him for anything. I suffered for my entire life with what I thought were "allergies"... to everything. Turns out I had approx. 80% blockage due to enlarged turbinates & a deviated septum. He changed my life. He can change yours too.

I have to say that I was at first very uncertain about having this surgery. I had the good fortune of being referred to Dr. Mehta ENT. I was sold on him from day one. He was very clear on the things I could expect, and what we would hope to achieve in the surgery to remove a Parathyroid gland. It's a week later past surgery and I am feeling great. The incision was minimal and I am feeling fine. He and his staff were very warm and welcoming. I would recommend this practice to any and all who might be in need of their expertise. I give them the a super five stars!!!

Dr. Mehta is a caring, thoughtful, highly intelligent practitioner and surgeon that I've referred quite a few people to in the last two years. He's treating my 8 year old for severe environmental allergies and performed a parathyroidectomy on me a few months ago. He does an excellent job of explaining medical conditions and procedures in a way that's understandable. His bedside manner is also fantastic.

Dr. Rajeev H. Mehta is an excellent doctor and a gifted surgeon. He is attentive, honest and straightforward. His professionalism is unparalleled, and he leads the field in the treatment of head and neck cancer. I’ve been seeing Dr. Mehta for about a year and a half, ever since he diagnosed me with cancer in my neck and at the base of my tongue. He has always been very caring, compassionate and professional, and he has always taken the time to answer any questions I might have. I owe my life to Dr. Mehta - there is no better endorsement than that.

Dr. Mehta has excellent bedside manner and is, by far, the most knowledgeable ENT I’ve ever dealt with. He removed only half of my thyroid after assuring me my tumor was benign. He was correct, based on his experience with this type of tumor, he just knew it wasn’t cancer. I trusted him and he was right. Surgery went well, follow up went well, and he was patient, warm, and kind from start to finish. I cannot recommend his office enough. Staff is friendly and caring. Dr. Mehta is AMAZING.

I totally agree, with what others wrote. about his kindness and outstanding bedside manner, but that is not what impressed me the most. What impressed me most were his brains and his skillfulness. I have so much confidence in this doctor, that I am writing his review "before" I have the surgery.
