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.

Septoplasty, sinus surgery & rhinoplasty
Dr. Mushtaq is absolutely the best ENT Dr. and talented surgeon. He has a kind, gentle & informative bedside manner. I traveled 5.5 hours out of state to see him and he’s definitely worth the drive. He’s the best of both worlds in that he’s dual certified as an ENT & plastic surgeon. He can resolve chronic sinusitis issues & create an aesthetically pleasing nose. Very pleased with my results!

Top ENT & Facial Plastic Surgery Doctor
Dr. Mushtaq is the best doctor located in the Tyson Corner area of VA! He is very intelligent and provides excellent customer service! I have been a patient for three years and I highly recommend him. What I love so much about him is that he listens to your concerns, and he takes his time explaining the procedure in detail, so you can understand it before it is done. His entire staff is very professional and provides excellent customer service with a smile. In addition, his staffs always follow through with schedules and reminders of appointments.

BEWARE OF THIS DOCTOR
Dr Mouchtq was dishonest, lying and more interested in money. After surgery he was unprofessional when I had problems from the procedure. He is an unskilled plastic surgeon. I was very unhappy and he was disrespectful in return. I am left with scars and pain forever that is all unnecessary if he was a good surgeon. Find another, don’t waste your time. He should be ashamed of calling himself a plastic surgeon.

Thy charge U without notice for things U dont need
The moment you call or step in, all is in their mind is how to charge you a lot of money. First question is, give us your insurance information, we are not going to use it, it is just for us to have it, it's mandatory. When you go home, you keep receiving mails and text messages about how much they charged your insurance and that you via the follow up text messages they will send you a link to pay your co-pay. You're like why they did not say anything in the office. They said, the insurance is only for our information. I called the insurance agency and they said they have a lot of complaints about him. Also, when you see the doctor, he keeps telling you that you have a lot of different problems and health issues and you even need a lot of surgeries. Don't believe him, he is just trying to get more money.

rhinoplasty
I had a rhinoplasty and septoplasty with Dr Mushtaq. He is best doctor in the DMV. He is an expert in his field very knowledgeable, understanding, and trustworthy. He is always available to his patients and goes above and beyond for his patients. He is always cheery and happy. I had a rhinoplasty 2 months ago and i am happy with the results so far. i have a long way to go in my healing as expected with rhinoplasty but so far i am thrilled. The pre op and post op care i received from Dr Mushtag is exceptional. You are in good hands with Dr Mushtaq. i would highly recommend Dr Mushtaq and have already referred a few people because they were so amazed by results.

Dismissive, arrogant, unprofessional
I find Dr. Mushtaq to be dismissive, arrogant, and unprofessional. His office breaks down the appointment into numerous separate exams and sessions, so the bill comes out to several times more than other offices. His recommended treatments were either do-nothing or extremely invasive. When things go wrong, he jokes about patients going crazy and killing themselves. I find it disturbing that he would take medical conditions and suicide as things to make fun of.

Definitely, yes! Dr. Mushtoq explained silent reflux to me after doing a thorough ENT exam. I learned through his explanation and viewing the video of my throat what was happening to me these past 9 months. He never used a computer himself, but always looked at me. There was a nurse doing the transcription. I will see him again in a few months. I am so relieved to have an explanation of my symptoms.

Dr. Mushtaq is a fantastic Dr. He is extremely knowledgeable and caring and a good listener. The fact that he is triple specialty certified is amazing and that helps you know you are truly in good hands and that you are being seen by someone who is at the top of his field(s). I saw him after a horrible experience from a procedure done somewhere else and he helped me with what had been going on after and did a biopsy from my face for me. He also did a perfect biopsy with no scarring! It was a scary time for me and I was glad he was there to help me. I highly recommend Dr. Mushtaq, he is clearly brilliant (a dermatologist I saw told me Dr. Mushtaq was a genius and recommended him to me and I am so glad he did) and his front office help who helped get me in were absolutely kind and fantastic as well. Great office all around thank you!

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Mushtaq. He was very considerate and did an excellent job explaining my condition, its implications, and his proposed treatment for it. My first operation with Dr. Mushtaq was to have a mass removed from my salivary gland, but despite the size of the mass, it is very difficult to tell. He took great care to both preserve the facial nerve and mitigate the scarring around the incision. I was so impressed that I returned to have my deviated septum fixed, which was also excellent work, insofar as I am concerned. His office staff were also very helpful.
