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.

Never listened, just pushed his ideas. Will be the death of me. Never wanted the surgery he performed. Now I am in pain, can't hear, and have constant ringing!!!

Dr. Andrew Drescher is top of the line in his specialty! He did an incredible job of explaining the specifics of my diagnosis, details of the surgery, information on medications, etc.....all so easily understood for us non-medical professionals. He has a wonderful bedside manner and sense of compassion. He embodies all of the characteristics of a true professional. My surgery was a great success thanks to him and his great work. I would highly recommend him to others!

Dr. Drescher was a very kind and patient physician who answered all of my questions and treated a condition that other doctors had over looked. Sometimes wait times were longer than other physicians but he was always willing to take additional time to answer my many questions. I was pleased to be a patient of his and would not hesitate in seeing him again.

After multiple surgeries and doctors, Dr. Drescher performed one surgery on my ear and I went from having severe hearing loss to mild hearing loss. He showed wonderful care and a passion for wanting to help me and make me happy. He even went out of his way after my surgery to talk to my parents for an hour about the procedure. Awesome doctor!!!

He did not take time to understand what was going on. Before I ever even saw/talked to him, his nurse prepped me for a nose scoping. Then he came in, scoped my nose and then talked to me. I assumed this was standard. I later met with a 2nd ENT (bc I didn't get any answers w him) and realized this was UNNECESSARY as I was in for recurrent strep! Now I'm on the hook for an extra $400. He also referred me back to my primary if I got strep again. Only wanted to see me again if opted for surgery.

I had a perforated eardrum due to an accident for 4 years. Eventually, I had severe hearing loss. I went to Dr. Drescher for my fourth ear surgery, and he finally did the surgery right. I owe my hearing to Dr. Drescher.

He arrived late to the appointment, even though I was the first of the day. During the appointment he rushed through, disregarded my concerns over current medications, prescribed a medication made with the same things that caused side effects and concerns previously, and checked his watch twice during the appointment. I was in and out with him in less than 5 minutes. Left the appointment totally disappointed and back to square one in my ENT search.

I have been to see Dr. Drescher many times and found him helpful. However, first time I am having problems that are difficult he is difficult and does not know what is going on, has no suggestions and checks out. I was very disappointed. Taking my business elsewhere. I am a very objective person when it comes to what I expect from a provider. If you have a glaring problem you may be ok but if you have a problem that requires thinking outside the box good luck.
