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.

DR. DAVID EDELSTEIN SAVED ME.
In the past 10 years. I have been referred to many Doctors for Cronic Flegm issue. I got sprays, pills and no result. I refused to give up. Finally I was refered to DR. EDELSTEIN WHO LITERALLY SAVED ME, he did not say it's minor, he said immidiatly it is severe. He proceeded with a trial of sprays and pills, but after one month he had to do a sinuse oporation, made sure I also made an appointment for an endoscopy. Gave me home irrigation treatment and saw me often. He gave me my life back. I met a patient there who was also so enamored with his results. I still see the good Doctor, his follow up is greatly appreciated. It took 10 years many doctors, to find Dr. EDELSTEIN. I totally recommend him.

Best doctor and office
Traveled to see Dr. Edelstein and it was well worth it. Best doctor who I have been to in a long time. My family agrees! had sinus surgery and I am feeling the best ever. The experience was wonderful. The office helped me get insurance approval ( which I know is not easy) and the nurse was very informative and walked me through the process. the hospital where I have the surgery at Manhattan Eye and Ear was excellent. Doctor Edelstein was with me every step of the way. I seem him 2-3 times a year to check on my nose, sinuses and allergies. Well work the trip!

I cannot stand my face pain and headaches and had been to lots of doctors in Brooklyn. Dr Edelstein had an office in the past in Brooklyn but I followed him to Manhattan. It was definitely worth the trip. He sat down with me and listened to me carefully. I had already tried a lot of medicines but we tried some new things. Later I needed sinus surgery, which went great. My headaches are gone and I can finally breath! I am very happy. He has a nice nurse who helped plan everything.

I used to see him in Brooklyn but he is better in Manhattan. He has 2 offices there. Had bad nasal and sinus problems which he cured. Have never felt better. Happy with his new offices and their locations. Nice staff. Would highly recommend.
