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.

I have long been a patient, yet when I am in pain and cannot hear, the soonest I can get an appointment is twelve days out. Then when I do finally get in to see him, he is in and out of the room in under five minutes, not allowing for any questions. I feel he does not care at all about me; I'm just a number. He also gives conflicting instructions each time I see him.

I’ve been going to Dr.Brocato since I was 11 yrs old and I’m now almost 18. I have chronic sinusitis and reoccurring nasal polyps which he has removed in 4 different surgeries. He’s a wonderful doctor who knows what to do to fix the problem and always does so in a fast and easy way. I’ve known him so long I feel like I know him like the back of my hand. I know what he’s gonna do to fix me up and I thoroughly trust him. Definitely recommend!

He doesn't listen to any concerns you have because he is so much wiser than you. I DO NOT recommend him! So glad there was another doctor who listened to me.

Dr. Brocato doesn't listen to what you have to say. Just comes in, checks your throat, throws out ideas, interrupts you and sends you off to another doctor. Doesn't really care for his patients.
