I would have liked if the Doctor would have scheduled the operation on my left ear sooner. Instead it's put off for two (2) full months. At this time I will have returned to work and therefore this wouldn't be a good time to schedule an operation, nor for me to request a leave of absence!! Hopefully, my operation could be scheduled sooner(ASP).

Great experience today with Dr. Appelbaum and Audiologist. Both listened to me and showed care. Knowledgeable professionals. Dr. Appelbaum is an outstanding surgeon. Receptionist was very kind, but overworked and understaffed. Needs better separation between ENT and other offices.

Dr. Appelbaum listened to every question I had. I have an extensive ear history going back decades with quite a few surgeries and he made me feel right at ease. He didn't act like my ears were anything he'd never seen before. He could see all the work I've had done and tell me by just a visual inspection of what I had and he was really, really on top of it. His recommendations sounded awesome and I can't wait until I have my next appointment with him so we can move forward with some treatment.

The staff members who checked me in l, the staff member who checked me out, Audiologist Jennie as well as Dr. Appelbaum were very polite, patient friendly, and very kind., each person did her/his component of my visit with complete professionalism. Everything was explained to me in detail and simplistic patient friendly language. I am very appreciative for their quality service.. this was very very important to me esp since recently, I have received some very poor quality of pt care and concern in multiple Dr offices in the area.. I truly appreciated the service I received in Dr. Appelbaum's office today..and I would highly recommend this staff to anyone who need audiology care.... please excuse me if I misspelled any names.. thank you for the opportunity to relay my true appreciation to this staff..
