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.

LIED, AND NEGLIGENCE, REFUSAL TO TAKE RESPOSIBLITY
I thought it was OK, UNTIL HE Lied about me having a Pititary tumor and didn't put the magnet in my left implant, say that I Needed more MRI'S Then proceeded to put the rt implant in a month or sa later FAILING to tell me that he put the Magnet in! My Gen Med Doc Ordered a MRI I believed I didn't have a magnet in the rt side like he left the the left Side out! HIS NEGLAGENCE Nearly caused a Severe to my Head!! I recently found out I didn't have a PITUITARY TUMOR!! HE REFUSED TO ANSEWR MY QUESTIONS OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS NEGLAGENCE!!

Fantastic Addition and Team
Dr. Samy and Dr. Natour are a top notch team added to Lehigh Valley ENT! They are kind, compassionate and thorough. Despite several ear surgeries, I have continued ear issues requiring weekly visits for cleaning which greatly affect my day to day life. They have given me hope for a solution with a plan in place to improve my situation. I am thankful LVHN has added such expertise!

Beware
I believe he is very intelligent but he is also arrogant. He could not figure out why I was experiencing the symptoms I had and told me I should be grateful I didnt have something worse, like cancer. Well, I had previously had cancer and it was IN MY CHART! It got worse from there.

The visit was fine. The testing was fine. The billing was terrible. For months we had to fight with their billing department because they did not file a wavier properly with our insurance company. They had the wrong dates on the wavier. It took almost 5 months to get them to refile the claim. That was just for the testing. The surgery billing is still on-going. Whatever you do: GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING. Including verifying with your insurance you testing an procedure is covered IN WRITING. Then get an OVER ALL pricing IN WRITING from this doctors office. Leave nothing to chance.

I've been seeing Dr. Samy since 2011 and have the utmost respect for him. He has seen me through a couple of ear surgeries for cholesteatoma. He's always been caring and professional. Will continue to see him until he retires. There are times that appointments run late, but that is understandable due to the fact he has surgeries that run longer than expected and he takes his time with his patients.

Dr. Samy is the ‘real’ deal. ‘Excellent’ would be too mild an adjective to describe him. Coupled with his amazing expertise, he is one of the most caring, compassionate, friendly doctor/person I have EVER met.

I was expecting ear surgery, a stapedectomy, but Dr. Samy recommended a more conservative, risk-free route based on my audiology exam. (I have moderate hearing loss in one ear.) He put my well-being first.

Dr Samy has been amazing. I met him when he was brought in to assist with a surgery on my daughters brain stem .He and Dr zuccarello performed a miracle that day and we will always be grateful. Since that day Dr Samy has followed her through recovery with the at most care and concern. This Dr has truly been heaven sent because of this I have my daughter and 4 little girls have their mommy. I believe in his care , she will recover 100% because he has given 100 + % to her care. AMAZING!!!

We consulted Dr. Samy after a long history of failed attempts to correct the holes in our daughter's eardrums. He is an exceptionally talented surgeon, surrounded by an outstanding team, who impresses with a rare combination of medical and social skills. Dr. Samy involved our daughter in every decision and was the kindest person, a pediatric patient can hope for. We are extremely grateful and happy to report that both eardrums have been repaired thanks to Dr. Samy and his wonderful team.

This man sawed open my skull and released me without painkillers, without referrals, and without caring about how I was going to survive with a future of nothing but debilitating pain. That was over two years ago now. His office are rude and unhelpful, he only accepts male residents, who do their best to patronize and intimidate patients, and he permanently destroyed my face. When I think about how much better my life would be if I had met a competent doctor, I cry.

We moved down to Dallas, TX right after I was diagnosed with an Acoustic Neuroma in Seattle. Dr. Samy was so fantastic. He explained EVERYTHING about it, what ALL of my options were (including watch and wait) and insisted I got talk to the drs. who could perform the other options. He was personable, funny, kind and caring. I think he missed his calling. He should be sales. I can't think of another person who would actually make me look forward to someone getting into my head (literally)

I saw Dr. Samy for a second opinion. He asked all the questions the previous ENT should have asked. He ordered more extensive testing, which revealed the cause of my hearing loss and balance problems. He is kind, warm, and very clear with his instructions, and his staff people are clearly very comfortable with him. I'm headed for surgery, and I trust him completely to cut a hole in my skull when the time comes. ;-)
