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.

A throat infection
I would like to tell anyone looking for an ENT doctor that Dr. Batniji is BY FAR the best, most experienced, ENT doctor you can find. We have 3 grown sons and in 2016 we THANKFULLY were referred to Dr. Batniji (DB) by a friend... A long story short, his experience, knowledge, and basic all around expertise in his field, identified that our son had a very critical problem going on in his throat. DB admitted him to Hoag, and operated on him the next day to remove a rare, dangerous, infection. The ID doctor, Dr. Koper, at Hoag was able to (after 6 long days) identify what our son had removed, and together with Dr. Batniji got him started on the correct antibiotics and the road to healing. In 2023 we again needed the most qualified doctor to see the same son for another infection that no other doctor was able to heal. Our son flew to CA, Dr. Batniji saw his throat, asked him a few questions, identified what was a different infection and changed his medication and in 4 days he was healing.

Disgusting and unsanitary! The instruments (Scopes, nasal speculums, nasal sprays, etc.) are used without covers or even wiped down in front of you, so who knows if they even get cleaned; in items left in the rooms, I have seen residue that I can only assume is from other patients. More than that . . . shockingly enough . . . I felt completely and utterly unheard, my complaints seemed to go in one ear and out the other. In short, and allergy test (that I've already had elsewhere) is not going to fix my- CT Scan confirmed- deviated septum. 0/10 would not recommend.

Dr. Batniji is very rude. I had taken my son for a re check that his primary Doctor suggested and he told me I was wasting his time. He was completely unprofessional. Don't recommend him. He should retire.

The doctor is always late, to be honest if you really want to fix your problem pick a different doctor.

Dr. Batniji takes his time and is not rushed to get things done quickly. He has an eye for detail and has a mind the works well with surgery. He is also very patient and is a man of faith. If you want things quick and fast, Dr. Batniji is not for you. However, if you want a doctor that will do things right with patience and ease, don't hesitate to pick him.
