Instead, he immediately attempted to perform an endoscopy without my consent and billed me over $1,000 for it. This was entirely unnecessary for a routine sinus infection. They also invoiced for 45-minute visit when it literally took 5 minutes I left the appointment with no prescription, just a book recommendation on Amazon. When I later messaged the office about worsening symptoms (yellow/brown mucus), I was told I had to schedule another visit--less than a week after my first appointment. Only after I said I would have raised the issue with my insurance did Dr. Tandon call me later in the day, saying he could not prescribe an antibiotic without a CT scan but he would have done an exception For reference, I ultimately resolved my infection with a $6 antibiotic prescribed elsewhere.

Check in a few weeks back was so easy . I was even allowed to bookend an appointment with a family member. This time ( today) I arrived a little bit early for my follow up appointment. Both times her office turned out to be empty. Actually got finished within a half hour twice. Four different doctors work out of this suite. They are only here a few times weekly. So this office really doesn't get very crowded. Also of some note, there is a two level parking lot right outside. As this address has several different specialists that work out of the first floor.

No answer, being left on hold and disconnected, no return call from doctor, etc. Dr. Niyogi was shockingly unprofessional and rude. She performed nasal surgery June 2020 on me at Hackensack University Hospital. A second staphylococcal infection returned within a week after first. Tried over three separate business days to notify her and her office. As above, no returned messages after having to call repeatedly to get someone on the phone. Upon bringing the subject up to her in person at a scheduled follow-up appointment the next week, I was told to "get the the point of all this as she had other patients waiting." I'm 55 and have NEVER been treated with such a lack of respect or care by any member of the medical profession. Further, I've worked with the Medical Council of Canada in doctor/patient relations so I'm knowledgeable on this. Most definitely seek another surgeon in my humble opinion.

I was recommended and referred to Dr. Jeffrey Ahn through my father after I told him about my sinus issues (for my whole life I could only breath from one nostril or not at all, constantly getting sinusitis every other week + I was on steroids for 1.5 years to reduce my nasal polyps - to no avail). My father, who had similar issues to me and had undergone 3 nasal surgeries with 3 different ENT's (prior to finding Dr. Ahn), told me that Dr. Ahn was the only doctor who was able to fix his problem once and for all, completely. My dad also told me to include his review: "Dr. Jeffrey Ahn is incredibly smart and has the strongest and highest (/higher than) mastery level understanding of otolaryngology. He is extremely well educated, and it shows in the quality of his care. HE CHANGED MY LIFE." My dad always talks about how Dr. Ahn changed his life (and mine too) - and he really did in such a dramatic way. My dad doesn't have sleep apnea or sinus issues anymore (since his surgery with Dr. Ahn 3 years ago), and subsequently that has made him much more awake, alert, and active during the day. Since his surgery, he has taken up running (he has never run before) and has a much better quality of life than he did before. That should all be accredited to Dr. Ahn. That being said, when I returned to New York, Dr. Ahn was the first person I went to go and see. From my full experience, I truly and strongly believe he is the best ENT in America (probably in the world). Like my dad, he has changed my life DRAMATICALLY. He has a great comprehension of sinus issues and will go into depth in analysing ALL the factors that contribute to your problem. For that reason, he TESTS FOR A LOT AND TRUST ME ITS F--KING WORTH IT. The whole process really really REALLY made me gain so much respect for him as a doctor, because he doesn't give a diagnosis without the evidence being there. He does not simply rely on his own skills (though I know he is definitely smart enough to be able to), and he will ask for the appropriate tests to confirm and get more information on your problem and understand how to get rid of it for the LONG TERM. Any diagnosis he makes will be very well informed, well researched, and concluded based on thorough test results that he will ask you for (I am sure it varies based on person/problem). Dr. Jeffrey Ahn is an expert and understands that everyone's case is different and requires customization as such (whether for immunotherapy or surgery). He will go through your test results with you line by line, explaining what everything is/means and answer any questions you may have. And, once he has confirmed ALL issues, he will provide a valid and thorough diagnosis of what was causing your problem (and why) and tell you what steps need to be taken to remedy the problem. He is the best doctor truly. Also, if what I wrote in the aforementioned paragraphs did not convince you then please judge him based on the staff he employs (his team). He has the best staff and nurses on planet Earth as part of his team - they are all so kind and HELPFUL. They go above and beyond and will even work with your insurance if necessary, so you don't go through too much of a headache. It is clear that he only employs smart and capable people who make every step of the process better for the patient. Seeing the girls who work at his Manhattan office is something I look forward to every Wednesday and I always leave with a smile on my face. They are honestly super great at their jobs and so efficient all around. Also, Gloria (the nurse who helped me pre- and post- operation in New Jersey) was so wonderful and informative. She explained the full procedure, answered all my questions, gave great advice on post-op care, made sure I was comfortable the whole time, and held my hand + made me laugh/distracted me when I was getting anaesthesia (I was super anxious about it). She also called me the day after my procedure and the following day as well, to check up on my progress/see how I was feeling and to make sure I was doing okay. Gloria, if you're reading this - I didn't get a chance to say this but thank you so much for everything you did for me. I felt very cared for and it made my recovery experience much better. Lastly, Chad, the anaesthesiologist who put me to sleep pre-surgery was phenomenal. I was so anxious about the needle and he so calm and reassuring. He took all my stress and anxiety away - I didn't feel a thing and I went under in the most stress-free environment. Again, Chad if you are reading this - thank you so much for putting me down in the most pain-free way and taking care of me during the operation. You are awesome.
