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.

I had surgery one week ago for the removal of nasal polyps. Dr. Sturman explained everything before surgery. Had a CT scan pryor to surgery. Explained all the problems. He also did a surgery on my husband some years ago. Very knowledgeable and experienced.

Waited more than an hour in the waiting room even with an appointment. They don't give a crap about your time. Incompetent.

Though the the care of Dr.Sterman is great the office wait has been horrible almost 1:30-2:00 hrs behind schedule last few visits. Not sure what's going on at that office but if your running that far behind you should call your patients ahead of time and inform us instead of making us wait in the office so long!!!

Dr. Sterman gave me excellent care and my surgery went very well. I am one of those people who take a long time waking up from the anesthesia and Dr. Sterman remained at the hospital into the evening until I awoke. My follow up visits with Dr. Sterman after my surgery were excellent as well.
