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.

Confident
Dr. Fife listened carefully and understood what I was experiencing immediately. He provided the proof by showing me what was causing the issue and recommended a couple of options for relief. Every member of his staff was professional, friendly and competent. I am very grateful to have been referred to these caring, intelligent, professionals.

Highly recommend!
Dr. Fife is not only very knowledgeable and thorough, he has great bedside manner as well. It is very apparent that he genuinely cares about his patients. We went to Dr. Fife seeking a second opinion for my son and had a much better experience with him than at the first place we went-which was a pediatric specialist!

Top notch doctor in every aspect!
Dr Fife is definitely a top notch doctor! Very intelligent, kind caring, beyond knowledgeable and willing to explain your situation and options. I have gone to him for 3 separate issues over the years. My daughter and granddaughter go to him also. I have gone to other ENT’s and there is no comparison! Thank you Dr Fife for being so trustworthy and amazing! You are VERY appreciated!!!

Excellet
Not often when a Dr can remember when you only see them once in 2 years. But he was able to help put a plan together that involved another Doctor because he wanted my chronic issue to be successful. To have a Dr care about the full outcome and not just his part. This is why I trust my entire family with Dr. Fife. He truly cares about the patients.
