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.

Rare Gem
I'm 73yo. Over 20 years ago I saw another GP for the first & last time because he ignored what I told him I needed to nip a beginning recurring bronchitis in the bud. Five days later I was worse instead of mending.My issue had been going on for well over a year. Dr. Villari listened and acted today instead of having me return. I felt better immediately afterwards &, 12 hours later, continue to feel better. I'm hoping this will be the solution I've sought for a long time.

Could be better!
First I have seen this Dr previously and was good. This time he came into my appointment without reading my notes. He didn’t know I had previous tests the day before nor did he know the results. I was then told if I had come within 2 days they could have prevented my issue. Only issue with that is first the woman who made my appointment was very rude, and they were booking out at 7 weeks. So therefore was no appointment to solve my issue. So that seemed very disappointing to know. I also felt rushed as he was supposed to prescribe a medication and didn’t and what is worse, I am waiting for his assistant to call me back with what is going on. He is a very nice person but sorry he was not great this time.

Great experience
Dr Villari has been amazing whenever we had to interact with him. He is very patient, friendly and explains things in a simple way. We recently had the adenoids for our son surgically removed and we were so glad we were in Dr Villari’s hands.

A Big Fan of Dr. Villari & Staff!!
It’s been a journey living with a narrowing airway, but Dr. Villari has been there navigating with great care and knowledge to make each visit a good one. A++ rating to him and his friendly staff for easily answering my questions, assisting with procedures and scheduling appointments at their various locations. BENT is a great destination for healthcare; I’m grateful for being referred to them long ago!

One of the best doctors that I have ever seen
The doctor was courteous and super respectful. Really great ENT doctor. He examined my ear, nose and vocal chords and explained everything about the procedure. He was Super professional. The most amazing thing was that just when we were getting started, I received a phone call that I absolutely had to take. The doctor asked me if he should step out so I could take my phone call. I was just blown away by his kindness and his empathy. He actually stepped out and waited for 10 minutes while I finished the call! Overall, I had an extremely positive, friendly and empathetic experience during my visit with Dr. Villari. I would highly recommend Dr. Villari.
