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 had 5 ear surgeries over the span of 30 years so I kind of know what I am talking about. From what I can tell Breathe Free ONLY does balloon sinuplasty. It doesn’t matter what your issue is they will try to tell you that balloon sinuplasty is the answer. Well it didn’t cure my problem and it took me another 3 months to find a practice that did a simple and cheap 5 minute procedure that cured my hearing issue (Thank You — Central ENT Consultants). Lastly, you better have great insurance if you deal with Breathe Free. My insurer paid them $13k for their 40 minute balloon sinuplasty procedure and on top of that they billed me an additional $13k. $26k for an outpatient 30-40 minute procedure?!? I won’t even get into the fact that I waited in the operating chair for 90 minutes for the doctor to arrive and he seemed to ultra busy to fish with me so he RUSHED my procedure as quickly as humanely possible. The doctor admitted to me that these balloon sinuplasty. make him rich.

Dr. Oberman is amazing. After visiting another specialist, who didn’t do anything a specialist should and just gave me an antibiotic and said come back in 2 weeks, Dr Oberman did everything under the sun to find out what was wrong. We found a, of course, rare syndrome and he knew how to proceed. He and his team then fought for me with the insurance company as they wanted to deny the surgery based on it’s rarity and their lack of knowledge therein. Surgery was flawless, and recovery was swift. All subsequent follow ups have been great as well. Fantastic bedside manner to boot. Thank you!
