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.

Great Doctor!

Dr. Parnes is the best!
Dr. Parnes is one of the most compassionate, knowledgeable, intelligent and pleasant physicians I have ever seen. He is an excellent diagnostician and always spends a good deal of time listening to me and responding in a way that gives me complete confidence that I have indeed found the best ENT doctor. As a retired hospital social worker, I have seen a multitude of physicians interacting with patients. I never saw any of them with the excellent interpersonal skills that Dr. Parnes has. In addition, each time I've seen him, he has shown a deep desire to educate me with respect to my condition, as well as the cause and the treatment he recommends. His staff are always pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Parnes.

Dr. Parnes himself- competent, compassionate, patient-centric physician that I could not recommend highly enough. His staff- condescending, unhelpful, know-it-all, disingenuous collection of women that only care about revenue. Make no mistake, it is office policy to prioritize revenue over patient care. Be prepared to not be treated like a patient in need of care, you are only there to enrich this business. You’re barely a human being to them. If you are comfortable with that type of treatment, this is the staff for you. As it turns out, their thirst for revenue cost them a $10K+ procedure on me, and added another scathing review to the collection of awful reviews the staff has already gotten. But probably no big deal, they were working against me so hard to get my appointment canceled that they must have had a bigger fish on the hook to fill my surgery slot I waited over 2 months for. Pro tip ladies- treating your patients with care and prioritizing their needs leads to far more revenue in the long run. If that runs counter to your nature, find a job where humans aren’t forced to suffer from your greed-driven approach to healthcare.

PATIENTS, PLEASE BEWARE !!
This Doctor was So Greedy for the Insurance Money, that he did my Biopsy procedure without using an Ultrasound machine which nearly cost me my life !! My Procedure was a biopsy and the results came back negative because he Did Not find the right spot because he did Not use the Ultrasound machine which was required. Luckily, I had a second opinion and had another biopsy done at a hospital, which used the Ultrasound machine and my results came back POSITIVE FOR CANCER !!!!!!! If you value your life, stay far away from this guy because he needs more experience and needs to go back to school. He risked My Life, because of his negligence, he was GREEDY FOR THE INSURANCE MONEY. By me getting a second opinion, and they told me an Ultrasound machine was required for my biopsy, and this young doctor DID NOT USE ONE. HE DID MY PROCEDURE IN HIS OFFICE AND RISKED MY LIFE. MY RESULTS CAME BACK FROM THE SECOND PLACE AND i NOW HAVE CANCER. IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE, STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS GREEDY GUY

Dr. Parness has been, by far, one of the most knowledgeable and caring physicians that I have ever seen. He diagnosed a potentially life threatening disorder in my wife that was missed by another highly regarded ENT. He has always taken the time and care to completely explain and discuss how, what, and why he does what he is doing, on every visit. Having multiple medical issues and numerous physicians that I have total faith in, Dr. Parness has a special set of skills that excel in every area of patient care and treatment.

It’s was my first time to see Dr Parnes. The office staff was very nice and efficient. They were able to get me an appoint right away. Dr Parnes was wonderful. He was thorough and told me exactly what he was doing. Then sat down to tell me what meds I was going to have to take. He didn’t rush in and out like most doctors today. I highly recommend him.

Beware after Dr. Todd Parnes performed lower blepharoplasty I had several complications all as a result of a botched job! I was forced to find a doctor that would help me with reconstructive surgery. (Several would NOT take my case) I would give more detail with my 6 month struggle of my pain, suffering and financial hardship I would provide pictures BUT I know this "review" will be removed. I hope I can save just one person from the horror I suffered by posting this!
