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.
