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.

He’s was very good with me and explained everything with outmost care. Very good doctor. He’s retiring soon though, so I’m a bit sad about that.

One of best ENT's ever had in my life. Since undergone treatment & surgeries done by Dr. Highstein, never breathed better. I feel sincerely lucky to have found such a great ENT and God knows I have had many that were supposed to be the best in their field. Love this doctor!

It was some time back - I was dealing with vertigo type of symptoms for many months. I saw several family and ENT specialists abut that but did not get better. Dr. Highstein immediately recognized my symptoms and ordered relevant tests that lead to a medication that 'cured' me. I remember taking it only for a few weeks. Since then, I have been vertigo free. I will highly recommend Dr. Highstein.
