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.

Solved my mysterious recurring cankers sores
Dr. Ditkoff is my angel. I was suffering strange canker sores which were all over the mouth, lip, inner cheek. They were so excruciatingly painful i couldn't drink water nor eat anything without crying in pain. I went to several doctors and all the meds they gave me didn't help. My hubby suggested a possible link with a kidney medication i started a year ago. Although cankers sores were a rare and almost unheard of side affect, Dr. Ditkoff actually listened and took the initiative to investigate it and sure enough, after stopping Losartan, my canker sores have not reappeared! I'm utterly grateful to Dr. Ditkoff who goes above and beyond for his patients, who's willing to listen and think out of the box.

30 Years of Great Care
Dr. Ditkoff has been our family’s ENT for 30 years. He took care of our kids when they were little, he sees my parents and in-laws for their hearing loss and me for my hearing loss after Covid. He doesn’t just have a great bedside manner but he truly cares and is remarkably thorough.

I have seen Dr. D. on and off for years - for different issues, often with atypical symptoms. He always has been able to find a solution. He is creative, reassuring, and uses all of his skills and knowledge to treat the patient as a person. He is also very optimistic and cheerful - and has a great sense of humor.

Excellent doctor with great people skills!
I’ve been going to Dr. Ditkoff for over 10 years. He is not an alarmist yet brings a professional approach to the exam, along with a unique insight. He always greets his patients with a smile which is welcomed when one isn’t feeling well. His staff is ready to help and knowledgeable too. Jennifer, the Speech Pathologist, is thorough and explains what will happen during the procedure. On occasion I’ve visited Dr. Perlman, whose experience brings a fresh perspective to my condition. I highly recommend this practice. The wait time is minimal and the receptionists are ready to assist.
