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.

He was very informative and caring. He got me in for surgery right away after discovering I had stage 4 cancer. His follow up appointments were very thorough. I will miss him at ENT Specialist. Very good Doctor I am thankful to have been sent to him for my treatments and surgery.

Dr was extremely responsive to my needs to understand my exact medical situation. I appreciate him taking the time to respond to all of my questions. I would definitely return to the physician for my care

A parotid mass patient – May 20, 2024
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Likhterov?
Didnt seem to care & felted judged.
Felt like i was judged and automatically assumed diagnosed before even being looked at. Telling me i have acid reflux and allergies that are causing my issues even tho i havent even had any acid stomach issues. He asked me about what prescription drugs i have been prescribed by other Doctors and i had told him i wrote them on the info sheet they had me fill out. He didnt even bother to look at the information sheet and he just prescribed me some of the same things i already had been prescribed by my other drs. He did do a scope into my nasal cavity and throat. He told me he thinks the its acid reflux and allergies. Told me i could see an Allergy specialist and i told him thats who sent me to see you. I told him the allergy specialist was wondering if my enlarged tonsils were causing me issues. He looks at them and then he told me to think of any other questions while he goes to send prescriptions over to my pharmacy and then never returned. Instead the medical assistant comes in after

Well informed of my health history
Dr Likhterov spent the time to know my medical history before my appointment even though I had never seen him before. I felt that I received the best possible care and advice.

cursory and careless - stay away
i wouldn’t recommend this guy whatsoever. his after-visit notes contain outright lies about what he supposedly did, despite my efforts they remain uncorrected. i’ll never go back to him so it doesn’t really matter. everyone knows the sort of doctor i’m talking about. arrogant, cursory. zero interpersonal skills. i hope he was at least competent in his assessment of my throat and ears. i had asked him about other concerns and procedures. he left the room without a word and i thought he was coming back and it turns out that was it- nothing, gone. now i am left without any help on a number of things i that i specifically asked him about. a joke. honestly. the first warning sign about his attitude was when i came in i was wearing a mask and he in a condescending manner: “i’ll go get a mask if it makes you feel better” as if there’s no reason to wear one. this is a medical professional. hello.go to someone who will see you, care, and listen. not this guy.

Trouble swallowing
Was told to make another appointment, when I tried to they said they would call me. Have yet to hear from anyone. Very disappointed. The Dr was very kind and thoughtful. So I believe it is a staff problem.
