Avoid this guy at all costs. If he can't handle the surgery, or his surgery fails, he will send you 80 miles away to USF ENT in Tampa. Apparently, he had a falling out at Florida Ear and Sinus a few years ago and would selfishly rather send his old patients 80 miles away for inferior treatment at a hack university medical school than to highly experienced doctors at Florida Ear and Sinus which is right in downtown Sarasota. USF butchered my ear and 7 months later I ended up having Dr. Silverstein at Florida Ear and Sinus remove a huge (mega) cholesteatoma that the USF ENT either caused or missed per my educated opinion. If I would have known what I know now, I would have gone right to Dr Silverstein at the beginning. I only write here so that other's might learn vicariously through my experience. 100% my own experience and opinion.
Pros: Receptionist was very nice
Cons: Puts his pride above the best interests of his patients
