Dr. Kaufman and his staff did a wonderful job. They changed my life. I can breathe better and the whole experience was very easy, very pleasant. And I was actually shocked at how good everyone did. Even when the lady took me out and helped me get into the visit after the surgery, it was very pleasant. I don't have any complaints. You guys did a great job. Keep it up.

Dr Kaufman and his staff are the best! Everyone from the front desk, nurses and Dr Kaufman are so nice but also very professional. Dr Kaufman has corrected my continuous nose bleeds and I am very happy with the results. Highly recommend to anyone who has nose bleeds that require surgery. You won't be disappointed.

All the staff including Dr. Kaufman were attentive, professional and kind. He answered all my questions and concerns and came up with a good plan for me.

Overall, my visit felt somewhat rushed and less welcoming than I expected. My appointment was scheduled for 1:30 p.m., and I was finished by approximately 1:47 p.m. I understand that the staff may have been busy and were likely doing their best, but I did not feel there was much personal interaction or reassurance throughout the visit. When I arrived, the medical assistant seemed somewhat short in her communication and there was very little greeting or conversation. During the visit, I experienced some discomfort from the numbing medication and would have appreciated a little more reassurance or explanation about what I was feeling. When I asked for a bottle of water, I was initially told that it would not help, although she did say she would get one for me. Ultimately, the doctor provided the water. The doctor was professional, but the interaction also felt very quick. I am accustomed to healthcare visits where there is a little more warmth, communication, and reassurance, so the difference stood out to me. I am not sharing this to criticize anyone personally, but rather to provide feedback about my experience. A little more patient engagement and reassurance, particularly when a patient expresses discomfort, would have made the visit feel much more comfortable and welcoming.

My appointment was scheduled for 1:30 p.m., and I was finished by approximately 1:47 p.m. I understand that the staff may have been busy and were likely doing their best, but I did not feel there was much personal interaction or reassurance throughout the visit. When I arrived, the medical assistant seemed somewhat short in her communication and there was very little greeting or conversation. During the visit, I experienced some discomfort from the numbing medication and would have appreciated a little more reassurance or explanation about what I was feeling. When I asked for a bottle of water, I was initially told that it would not help, although she did say she would get one for me. Ultimately, the doctor provided the water. The doctor was professional, but the interaction also felt very quick. I am accustomed to healthcare visits where there is a little more warmth, communication, and reassurance, so the difference stood out to me. I am not sharing this to criticize anyone personally, but rather to provide feedback about my experience. A little more patient engagement and reassurance, particularly when a patient expresses discomfort, would have made the visit feel much more comfortable and welcoming.

Seemed like Dr checked my sinus situation enough to determine improvement and eliminate areas of concern. Encouraged me to continue Navage treatment.

Dr Kaufman and his staff are the best! Everyone from the front desk, nurses and Dr Kaufman are so nice but also very professional. Dr Kaufman has corrected my continuous nose bleeds and I am very happy with the results. Highly recommend to anyone who has nose bleeds that require surgery. You won't be disappointed.

Dr. Kaufman and his staff did a wonderful job. They changed my life. I can breathe better and the whole experience was very easy, very pleasant. And I was actually shocked at how good everyone did. Even when the lady took me out and helped me get into the visit after the surgery, it was very pleasant. I don't have any complaints. You guys did a great job. Keep it up.

Dr. Kaufman, Dr. Ware, the medical and administrative support staff at Wellstar ENT are the best. I have referred many friends to this practice. They are the perfect blend of professional and personable. I always feel that I am heard and working together with them.
