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 cannot thank Dr. Ahn and his staff enough for the time and dedication they offered me. The doctor went out of his way to offer clear and detailed diagnosis and instruction. I felt extremely cared for and appreciate all the post operation care.

Dr Ahn and his staff were very professional, and everything was very to notch. I've been waking up during night time due to my sleep apnea. After I got the surgery done, my sleeping has dramatically improved. I highly recommend Dr. Ahn if anyone has had the same issues that I had.

Dr. Ahn and his team were extremely professional and worked with me to help me understand my situation and solve my snoring and breathing issues. Although the recovery was a bit more than I was expecting, the results have exceeded my expectations and I can finally breathe clearly through my nose and my snoring has reduced 70%. There is one more adjustment to my throat that should hopefully eliminate the snoring completely. I highly reccomend Dr. Ahn and his team.

I am eternally grateful to Dr. Ahn, who I credit as having saved my hearing! I had an incident of sudden onset sensorineuro hearing loss in my right ear. I went to see Dr. Ahn immediately, and he promptly diagnosed the condition correctly and prescribed proper treatment. A less alert doctor might have missed the underlying problem and sent me home with antibiotics, which would not have helped me in this situation. Lucky for me, Dr. Ahn has cross specializations in surgery and allergies as well, in addition to being an outstanding ENT, so he's an incredibly knowledgeable doctor. He is kind, attentive, and has a good bedside manner as well. He staff is courteous, well-trained, friendly, and highly professional. He has helped me immensely both with my ears and with my allergies and other related inflammatory conditions. I can't recommend this doctor and his staff enough. Don't hesitate to place your trust in Dr. Jeffrey Ahn.

Dr. Ahn squeezed me in at the end of the day when I called his office due to ear pain. He was able to quickly clear debris out of my ear and set up weekly appointments to apply cream until the infection was gone. He was super friendly, extremely thorough and quick. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Ahn answered all questions with patience and detail, was available to discuss all post-op questions when they arose, and the surgery itself was masterful. The result of this cosmetic procedure was even better than we imagined possible.

I used to have to have tissues with me at all times and blow my nose for hours before I could fall asleep at night. I saw Dr. Ahn after I nearly got a second turbinoplasty from another provider, but it fell through. In retrospect, that was a blessing. Dr. Ahn gave me a new diagnosis and started me on allergy shots, eventually leading to the surgery that gave me my life back. His entire staff is friendly and courteous, and I feel people here care about me. I feel he listens to me and I trust his diagnoses completely.

Jeffrey Ahn is such a skilled doctor -- I could write an essay about how much he has improved the quality of life of both myself and my father. He is a wonderful surgeon and his expertise in sinus issues is evident in the level of care that he inputs. I am so happy to have had surgery with Dr. Ahn. He has changed my life forever. He also employs the best staff -- which improves the energy in his office/practice. I love seeing him!
