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.

Went to Dr. Netchman with an MRI regarding my severe Tinnitus. He read the MRI report and said I had an Acoustic Neuroma and that he wanted to operate to remove it. It is 3mm in size and he said he could not save my hearing. Then he put me on 100mg if Topramate and said come back in 6 weeks and we'd see if it had shrunk. This is a seizure and Migraine medicine, it does absolutely nothing to shrink the Tumor! When I discovered far better Surgeon's he refused to give me a Referral to that Doctor! Which would have helped me get in Network assistance from Humana's Medicare Advantage Garbage!!! He maybe good enough for an ear ache or sore throat but absolutely not touching me or my Acoustic Neuroma!!! He obviously gets very upset when you question his Skill Sets. Do what you want. But he's not ever going to touch me again!!! Better Qualified Doctors are out there! Keep Looking!

Discounted everything I said. Told me my sinuses were clear when all he did was look in my nose! When I went to another ENT they found I had a staph infection in my nasal passages. Nechtman gave me a lot of bad and incorrect info and never really treated me. He was very cocky, a know-it-all, arrogant, and rude. Thank goodness he's gone, but I feel sorry for the folks in KY where he went.

He is lacks experience in his field. He talks a good game and then leaves his patients with a lifetime of pain and suffering. I just wish I knew this beforehand.

My experience with Dr. Nechtman was absolutely horrible. He told me nothing was wrong with my ears but I went for a second opinion and my ears had a major infection. He was not concerned about my ears and was quite rude and rushed me out. Please look around before you make an appointment.
