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.

An experienced and insightful practitioner
I’ve been seeing Dr Klarsfeld for a sudden hearing loss in my right ear. Over a handful of visits he eliminated the obvious, ultimately determining the two most likely causes, suggesting next steps which involved medical skill sets outside of his practice. Following his guidance I involved those practitioners the second of which proved to be the solution. My hearing improved dramatically. His broad base of knowledge and years of experience provided insight in identifying the root cause of my problem. I consider myself to be extremely fortunate to have him as my doctor.

Deviated Septum Surgery
Dr. Klarsfeld performed a very difficult septal surgery on me in which my nose was a mess due to years of mixed martial arts training. Dr. Klarsfeld was extremely professional throughout all of my visits with him - both before and after surgery. Dr. Klarsfeld exudes confidence - he KNEW he could help me and get me breathing and looking better. I would highly recommend Dr. Klarsfeld to anyone thinking about this type of procedure.

Fixed my deviated septum
Dr. Klarsfeld fixed my deviated septum, and now for the first time I can recall, both of my nostrils work equally well! I can’t thank him enough. He did a wonderful job! This is a huge improvement to my quality of life. I highly recommend Dr. Klarsfeld!

Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty
Dr. K is one of the most knowledgeable and talented surgeons I’ve come across. He knows the facial anatomy so well that it just comes natural to him. As a patient, this type of procedure is super exciting, but it’s also very frightening at the same time and he had a very special way of putting me at ease. I was continuously reassured and he made it a point to confirm we were both on the same page with realistic expectations. He was incredibly patient, professional, and took great time to explain the procedure step by step. If I had a question, him and his team was there to answer right away, at any time. He truly and wholeheartedly cares about his patients and I witnessed it first hand throughout my entire journey.Now I’m a few months out and I couldn’t be happier with my results! This surgery has exceeded my expectations. Not only can I breathe better, but it’s so much more aesthetically pleasing! Thank you so much Dr. K for my cute nose! You truly have magic hands!

I had a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. Being an older than normal candidate for this surgery I was a bit nervous. From start to finish, Dr. Klarsfeld did a great job.

Horrible doctor
Dr Klarsfeld has a terrible bed side manner. He did 2 surgeries 10 years apart. After the surgeries I was told he did not proper complete the surgery and left tissue behind. I now have to have another surgery to fix it. On one of the surgery I had a question about the procedure and he when nuts. It was a simple question about the produce. Don’t go to this doctor.

A simple issue finally resolved.
Dr. Klarsfeld is excellent. He has an amazing bed side manner and is very knowledgeable. I had an issue that lasted for at least 5 years and have seen two other ENTs and one APRN regarding it. None of which even checked to see what it could possibly be. Dr. Klarsfeld sent me to get diagnostic testing and not long after that I had a procedure and the issue is now resolved. I am very grateful and would recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Dr Klarsfeld is the best. He knows his stuff. He was recommended to me by another sinus doctor — so he has respect among his peers. Dr K did several tricky and innovative surgeries on me to solve a serious problem I had. I had an allergist, after the surgeries, that asked - more than once(!) - to scope up so he could see the work, and he did so admiringly - almost with awe. I am not kidding. At the same time, I learned yet another of my doctors was his patient. Other doctors think highly of him and have told me so. Dr K loves his work, has a sense of humor, gets to the point. Maybe some would find him too quick. I think it’s because he analyzes things quickly. And his judgment is good! If you have questions he will answer them. I can’t think of how to give him higher praise. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Punctured Ear Drum
Although this practice was not part of my medical group my daughter was able to get me an appointment, because my grandson is a patient here. I was seen, and diagnosed within 3 days of the initial phone call and a follow up was scheduled. That follow up was today and concluded with a very thorough hearing test, and a favorable prognosis. I cannot express how happy I am to have been accepted into such a great practice. In their pursuit of professionalism Dr. Klarsfelds' staff has not lost their kindness or sense of caring toward their patients. I am very happy my grandson (7 mos. old) has this group in his corner.

Compassion was appreciated
Dr. Klarsfeld showed extreme compassion to my elderly dad who was about to travel to Colorado for his grandson’s PhD dissertation that same day. Dr. K had us arrive before his day officially began so that he could check my dad’s ear and decide if a myringotomy would be needed, so that no further ear damage would occur from the pressure of flying. He provided the highest level of care and was very patient. All worked out well and the trip was a success! Thank you again!

When your condition warrants more than a PCP
Was able to see him within one day which was awesome since I felt so awful, and he quickly set out a plan of action. He has a nice mannerism and makes a person feel comfortable. I am comfortable with what he recommended and have a plan for the future if the need arises.

Great experience
I’m 26F and went to Dr. Klarsfeld for a rhinoplasty/septoplasty based on a trusted recommendation. He made me feel comfortable from the start and my surgery/recovery was seamless. I am one month post-op and extremely happy with the results. My nose looks naturally enhanced and I’ve received the best compliments. ASC was super accommodating and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Great experience!

Our son had his nose broken in a sports accident. Dr. Klarsfeld was the ENT we chose after speaking with a number of people. He did a great job keeping us informed through the whole process. Due to the trauma in the area, our son needed 2 surgeries. First he needed surgery to realign his nose. Once that healed and the swelling from the injury went down, it was clear that his nasal passages were not clear, and his nose could not be set straight. Dr. Klarsfeld created a surgical plan to allow both straightening and opening up the passages. I recommend Dr. Klarsfeld.
