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.

Dr. Hennick was very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job on my thyroid surgery. Staff is very nice and helpful, definitely would recommend.

Incredible doctor highly, we highly recommend!
My daughter Jordyn, now 20 years old had sinus surgery at age 16 because of constant issues. Her polyps came back, chronic sinus infections, headaches, blowing her nose etc and was in pain. Dr Henick was recommended to us, and we could not be happier! The surgery went extremely well and 1 month post op my daughter can breathe, feels amazing and so appreciative to have gone to such a fabulous doctor, Dr Henick!

Worst ENT Dr
I'd never recommend Dr David H. Henick. First, the waiting time was way too much from the time i got his office to the time i left the office. I was sitting in a chair, for about 40-45 min before I had enough and I walked out to find him. When I found him he said he had forgotten i was waiting and apologized to me. That's professionally unacceptable. And then he billed my insurance/me for 40 min of service but worse than that he charged my insurance/me facility charges for about $3500, essentially passing through his cost of using the space to us. That's ridiculous. If you need an ENT Dr, make sure he/she doesn't charge that.

Excellent Results and Follow-Up
I came to Dr. Henick to get help for my chronic sinusitis which progressively got worse over the last year and included loss of smell, sinus headaches and constant nasal congestion. He carefully evaluated my condition and after trying a non-surgical, drug-based treatment plan to see if it will resolve my severe and debilitating symptoms he recommended endoscopic sinus surgery. The results were fantastic. After the packing came out three days after the surgery. I was immediately able to breathe much better and things continued to improve for the next few weeks to the point that I can now breathe normally and all my symptoms have gone away. Dr. Henick's post-surgical follow-up was great and there were no adverse effects from the surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Henick for anyone suffering from the miserable symptoms of chronic sinusitis.

The best ENT Doctor
Dr. Henick has provided such great care and knowledge to me regarding my sinus issues. I had dealt with chronic sinus infections and was hesitant with the idea of getting surgery. But with Dr. Henick's vast knowledge and great care for me, it made me feel comfortable to proceed with getting the surgery and has led me to feeling better than ever. Each visit he takes the time to explain what is occurring and the best course of treatment to ensure I have no questions or concerns. After my surgery, he provided great assurance everything was progressing nicely and was always available to answer any questions I may have had. I am grateful for all his help and support and would highly recommend using him as your ENT doctor.

Dr. Henick is an amazing surgeon and doctor.
Dr. Henick spent a lot of time explaining the procedure, putting my elderly mother at ease, and cut short his vacation in order to perform her surgery so she could travel. He never rushed us out of his office, was always honest, but reassuring, and followed up regarding her health and wellness in domains outside of ENT.

Best ENT in the tri-state area
Dr. Henick is a top ENT and a great surgeon. I was diagnosed with a nose poly and infection by a local ENT in my area. However, after 3 nose surgeries in my family and all had issues (one member of my family landed in the Neurological ICU at a major hospital after a simple procedure) I was looking for the best surgeon to remove my poly. Dr. Henick fit the bill. He was professional, calming, and did an excellent job removing the poly. I had absolutely no pain after the surgery and didn't even take a single pain killer. I am so grateful that I found this excellent doctor and I highly recommend him to everyone.

Gave me great advice
Dr. Henick seems to be a very conservative doctor. My oncology surgery was confirmed and proceeded. Of course, he explained it very thoroughly to me. But what I am more grateful for is that I have a job, so when I asked if I could postpone the surgery until the end of this year, Dr. Henick gave me a choice. He said no one knows how the oncology will change in 10 months and since it is an issue that can affect my life, he suggested it would be much better to have surgery in advance and focus on my job later in the year. The advice is memorable. It takes me less than a second to say yes, I will do it! I did. Dr. Hanick is not only a doctor, but also a good Life Counselor. Thank you very much Lisa, the nurse, and Dr. Henick. You are the best, I owe you Korean BBQ dinner!

I have been a patient of Dr Henick for about a year and he has been a godsend. After nearly 50 years of serious sinus issues, infections, and multiple minor and major surgeries during that time, he was the one to convince me that he could finally help me with my issues. He performed surgery about 4 weeks ago and I’m still going through the healing process but I must say that his expertise and knowledge with my surgery has far surpassed any expectations I had. My breathing, sleeping and overall health since the surgery has improved greatly and I have not been able to breath like this in literally decades. I’m forever grateful to him and would highly recommend anyone with an ear, nose, or throat problem to him for treatment. Also, his staff and office personnel are tremendous, friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful with every situation.

I went to Dr. Henick for removal of my thyroid. He is very calm and explains things so you are knowledgeable as to what to expect. He takes his time his with his patients. His surgical skills are excellent, my surgery was over 4 hours, and my scar is barely noticeable. After surgery he has excellent follow up. He is definitely an excellent surgeon.

I met Dr. Henick after thyroid surgery was proposed to me by my endocrinologist. He took a lot of time with me in reviewing my lab results & consulting with my endocrinologist to determine the extent of excision. The procedure was explained to me. On another pre-op visit he explained how nearby vital organs would be protected. Surgery done on Feb 9, 2021. Hospitalized one night; never experienced any serious pain. Four & 1/2 months later, incision well healed and feeling fine. Highly recommend.

In the spring of 2020, I developed a cancerous tumor in my throat. With all the uncertainty involving COVID, it was near impossible to find a Doctor willing to see me despite the seriousness of my issue. I put in a call to Dr. Henick’s office, and he arranged to see me the next day. I had called dozens of Practices, not one Doctor was willing to see me in person. Dr. Henick is an exceptional Physician, thorough in his examination, detailed in his treatment. He is incredibly compassionate, going above and beyond in setting up a team of Specialists instrumental in giving me the greatest chance at recovery. Behind any great Practice is a team of extraordinary assistants. Lisa and Catherine exemplify the professionalism associated with Dr, Henick, going out of their way when guiding you through any challenges which might lie ahead. I am forever be grateful to them all - absolute angels during my time of need.

Dr. Henick has been a tremendous help to my sinus help. I've had sinus problems since I was a child (constant congestion, lack of sense of smell, and head pain). I have never seen an ENT before, and finally as an adult (getting my own health insurance) I decided to get myself checked up. Initially I saw an Immunologist and an allergy specialist. They were alright, but only helped my symptoms and not the source of my problems. Dr. Henick found the source of my problems were nasal polyps and a deviated septum. We tried medication to help alleviate these problems, but when weeks of medication was only helping a small amount. Dr. Henick recommended a surgical approach and basically changed my life. We did a quick, 1-2 hour, surgery to remove the polyps and realign my septum. Then after 2-3 weeks of healing. For the first time in 20+ years; I am able to breathe through my nose and regain a lost sense of smell. Dr. Henick's overall mannerisms are very polite, soft spoken, and proper. The

Had nasal polyps five years ago and my ENT surgeon removed them and told me they would come back. He was right. Went back to him and they were worse this time and he sent me to Dr. Henick. The surgery was more complicated but I was home later that afternoon. Dr. Henick was very thorough and fastidious. Highly recommend him.
