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.

Great Dr, THE BEST with a Great Team!
This was my 1st & very urgent visit with Dr Ow and his staff. They are -all- Great ESPECIALLY Dr Ow. The Exact Kind of Dr you want when you have ear hearing trauma or needs. Extremely knowledge across a breadth of medial issues that can affect hearing (there are a lot!). Check in was easy of course and DJ the Audio Specialist helped me thru the ear tests as I didn't "Get it Right" the first time, & he was patient and was just really good at helping me out to complete the test. Really a Good Guy. And Alvina who did the interview questions, really awesome, easy, explained all. Robin (I think that was his name?), was a PA aiding Dr. Ow directly & was great at answering all the questions I had. I highly recommend Dr Ow and his Awesome Team. I was nervous with this new hearing trauma & Dr Ow explained the choices the possible outcomes and helped me choose the best plan of action. I'd Do It Again. Probably the BEST Dr experience I've ever had (I have had many!) Thank you So Much.

Experience and thorough team!
Dr. Oh and his team are very thorough and take the time to answer all questions. He went above and beyond to let my daughter observe a procedure (with the other patient's consent of course!) so she could understand what it entailed before making the decision to move forward. Highly recommend!

Horrible experience!! He charted that he explained all procedures and risks for our 3 year olds ear tube surgery when he did in fact not explain a single thing. Flat out lies to cover himself. He was very rushed and seemed more interested in billing authorizations than our 3 year olds care with his chronic ear infections. I wouldn't trust this guy with my cat let alone my child...

Dr Ow listened to all my concerns and developed a plan to address it. I felt he should do it one way but he insisted to do it the way to have the best results. He was right. I guess that’s why he’s the Dr and I’m not

Chronic Sinus infections, nasal polyps. Dr. Ow is current on new therapies to manage complex sinus conditions. He listens to his patients and takes the time to explain what is causing underlying problems, and possible treatment options. (Both surgical and non- surgical options)

After 15 years of misery, not being able to breath,eat,smell or eat( try to eat with your nose pinched off, not fun) I was first introduced to DR.Ow through a clinical trial study for nasal. My hopes never get to high with all the past procedures,pills and spays that’s where only short term bandages. After half a year of no results from the study, Dr. Ow would encouraged me to stick it out. The next half of the study a apparently received the new drug and not a placebo, I had almost immediate results. The next 6 months where fantastic as the trial came to a end. The best part of this is how hard Dr. Ow worked with my insurance company and the drug companys to get me continued support. My polyps have shrunk down to almost nothing, I haven’t had sinusitis senses I started. No matter what your condition is, this man has a deep down concern to help. I would ( and do) recommend his services all my friends and family. I’m a new man. Thank you sooo much Dr. Ow.

During my visit, I explained my issue to the assistant and she explained to the doctor. I could hear the doctor standing outside my room while assistant was explaining. Just listening to the assistant he made his mind that nothing is wrong and not even talking to me. He came said nothing is wrong and he was in a rush to go back. Only spent like 5 min and left. They charge so much money by billing insurance a complex visit but they dont spend required time and dont listen to patient. A patient comes only to see a dr and spend money when they have some issue, its so unethical for the doctors to mint money and not provide required service.
