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.

RhinAIr procedure was very successful
I had been experiencing trouble breathing through my nose for years, exacerbated by congestion. Dr. Suchanova had cat CAT scan done to evaluate suitability of this procedure and ended up recommending it. I had it done, and after a few weeks of recovery, I am breathing much easier through my nose... Well with getting done for me.

Nasal Breathing Improvement
I would like to express my appreciation to Dr. Suchanova for correcting my nasal obstruction earlier this year utilizing the Vivaer procedure. For years I experienced ongoing nasal congestion and breathing difficulties. As part of assessing a scan done for a hearing evaluation Dr. Suchanova identified that my nasal passages were extremely narrow. She followed up with visual inspection and inquired if I had issues with my breathing. I shared my history with this and that I didn’t feel it was severe enough to have any surgery. She shared with me several options available to correct this and one was this procedure which would be a non-invasive, in-office solution that could slightly enlarge the nasal opening and provide improvement in my breathing. I elected to have the Vivaer procedure done and it has tremendously improved my nasal breathing. I am thankful that such a low impact procedure is available and can produce such great results.

Exceptional care
Dr. Suchanova stands out among the many doctors I've seen for my chronic condition. Unlike others who merely treated symptoms, she ruled out other ailments and explained my procedure thoroughly. The surgery was smooth, thanks to her expertise and the wonderful staff. Follow-ups were comprehensive and insightful. Remarkably, for the first time in 50 years, my chronic condition has been alleviated. Dr. Suchanova and her team have my gratitude. If you're seeking compassionate, thorough care, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Suchanova.

Totally satisfied
One of the things that stood out for me with my Balloon Sinuplasty with Propel Stints was the confidence of Dr. Suchanova. She was very professional and point on with everything she told me that was going to happen before, during and after the procedure. I am so pleased that I had this procedure by Dr. Suchanova. I had absolutely no pain during the procedure or after the procedure. I am 2 weeks post op and still no pain. I can breathe so much better as everything is open now from the procedure. So, if you are contemplating having Balloon Sinuplasty to get your life back because you are as miserable as I was, please make an appt. with Dr. Suchanova as she is the bomb and will fix you up with no pain and very minimal down town.

Knowledgeable and Experienced
Dr. Suchanova is personable and informative, making sure you understand any procedure. She performed my broken septum surgery as well as repairing several other issues, giving me more information than any previous ENT I had seen. She and her office staff were prompt and thorough with answering any questions. High recommend.

Breathing better
I am extremely grateful for the exceptional care provided by Dr. Pavlina Suchanova. A month ago, she successfully corrected my deviated septum with a latera implant, significantly improving my breathing and overall quality of life. Having entrusted her with ENT surgeries for my children in the past, Dr. Suchanova consistently demonstrates unparalleled skill and compassion. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch medical care.

One of my favorite of all doctors!
The first time I visited Dr. Suchanova was about 5 years ago because I was concerned about my hearing. She cleaned my ears in such a way that it was literally life-changing. Since then, I return every year for a check up and cleaning, and my hearing has continued to be sensational.Just by chance this year, she asked about breathing and sleeping issues, and after checking, she saw that my septum was seriously deviated. I never knew about this, and she could immdiately tell that this likely happened many years ago (I played football in high school and took plenty of hard hits to the face and nose) and that I had likely just overcompensated to make up for the problems caused by the deviation. She showed amazing video that made clear how much this was affecting my breathing. We went forward with a minor surgery to correct this. It was quick and relatively complication-free. It has improved my breathing and sleeping in ways I never imagined possible. I'm so thankful for this great doctor!

She is AMAZING!
If I could give her more than 5 stars, I probably would. She deserves all the praises. What an absolutely fantastic doctor and a great human being! Right from the beginning, she made me feel comfortable and more than anything, she was KIND and COMPASSIONATE. Not qualities you expect a doctor to have, especially since I had a bad experience with another doctor previously. She didn't scare me with medical jargons and didn't make me feel like an idiot. Lol. Which I greatly appreciate. She took her time to treat me, slowly and methodically, until we went ahead with the surgery. Doctors like her are hard to come by. I went to her on a fluke, because I was so desperate and at my wits end. And I'm glad I chose her! The surgery itself was done wonderfully. Even when I went in for my first post op appointment to have those nefarious plastics removed from my nose, she did it so very gently, all the while assuring me in a cheerful tone. I hardly felt anything while she did it and boy oh boy, on

I went to see Dr. Suchanova for an ear issue and she convinced me that sticking a camera up my nose for $200 out of pocket would help her to diagnose the problem. It is months later and I am still having problems. I have spent a total of $400 out of pocket with Dr. Suchanova and she didn't help my problem.

Dr. Suchanova is truly the best of the best. Her enthusiasm is the best indicator of her dedication and knowledge of all things ENT. I searched online for a specialist after years of visits with other doctors & specialists with zero relief. Dr. Suchanova diagnosed a deviated septum at my 1st examination. I was in a near fatal car wreck in 1996 and, among other injuries, broke my jaw in 3 places. And my nose, apparently, which went undiagnosed for 25+ years. Dr. Suchanova also diagnosed a deformed sinus once she recv’d my X-rays. After exhausting all options to relieve my chronic sinusitis, we opted for surgery. It was exactly what I needed! Dr. Suchanova corrected my septum & placed an implant in my nose to increase my air intake. No pain, just discomfort. Dr. Suchanova is fantastic. After all my years of misdiagnosed misery she figured out what was wrong with me in 2 visits, and cured me with 1 surgery. If you have any ENT problems, Dr. Suchanova is your salvation.
