I've had this ENT practice for 21 years! My "go-to" doc is Ari Wirtschafter, who is well trained,,…read moresuper smart, and has a great sense of presentation and is patient focused. He does not over prescribe medications if your issues are related to allergies or sinus, but does offer solid advice on how to address them in our south Florida climate. He articulately explained how hearing loss, if left untreated, would contribute to cognitive decline, and affect other conditions such as diabetes and cardiac disease and high BP. Bottom line, I like him. A lot. He is part of a large practice with lots of support staff, and they all seem to work well together. And he isn't stuffy and full of himself. After your visit he walks you to the checkout staff, a nice touch. Need an outstanding very bright and articulate ENT specialist, see Wirtschafter.

We are so glad we went to Dr. Leibowitz.

Based on my husband having Melanoma 2 years prior and the reason for the biopsy in the first place was a nodule which he had for 7 years on his Thyroid became vascular. My husband and I agreed ANY percentage chance that it could be cancer to go ahead and remove half of his thyroid. We were lucky, it was not cancer. Glad that we had one of the nicest, caring and down to earth Doctor/Surgeon I have ever met. His assistant or NP or PA was also wonderful. Sorry for not knowing her title but really great group. Even the hospital was wonderful but I will do that in a separate review. Thank you Dr. Leibowitz !!

I even asked for the supervisor to solve the issues their office made and they said they have none. Stay away.

This started with an ear problem about 2 years ago. It was painful and I had ringing and stopped…read morebeing able to hear out of my left ear. Dr. Gorup examined me, he put me through a useless audiology procedure that showed nothing inherently wrong with my hearing, just my ear. He recommended very expensive nasal sprays and an allergy panel but did nothing for my ear. Luckily my son is brilliant and found that is you make a soup with 2 bunches of parsley, 1 leak and a carrot in chicken soup (unflavored), and blend it (we call it "medicinal green soup") it gets rid of anything that ails you that nothing else cures. Within 3 days of drinking it, my ear improved!! Apparently home remedies and alternative medicine beat the hell out of "professional" care. Finally Dr. Gorup convinced me to get an allergy screening. I discovered I'm pretty much allergic to Florida, like most Floridians. Go figure--mold and pollen isn't great for the body. So months go by, getting higher and higher doses of whatever concoctions they brew, one follow up with questions, no blood tests, no actual medical screenings to see how my body is reacting to these poisons they are injecting. Finally last October I get to my highest dose and that night I get a very weird reaction.... my heart felt like it was squirming to get out of my body. It was terrifying, but I actually thought it might be heart burn. It didn't happen again until the next allergy shot in November, but this time my trusty Apple watch warned me I was having an a-fib reactions. OMG!! I called the ENT and told them. Didn't hear back....didn't hear back. Finally after weeks of trying to get SOMEONE in the office to respond to my incessant calls, a PA told me I should see a cardiologist. (Maybe a lawyer?)... and there begins my other reviews of many doctors in the area. It's quite a Yelp journey. But as for these (again, I hate to use the word "doctor" or "physicians" when they don't do the one thing a doctor/physician should do, which is to tell you what's going on and what to do for your health, am I right?) I DON'T RECOMMEND!!

But I want to provide a public service here so what happened to me does not happen to you. I had an ear infection and made an appointment with Dr. Ariel Grobman. I was seen 40 minutes late but I'm a happy guy, and retired, so no big deal. The doc was in a rush as I tried to ask a questions and bolted out really quick after turning back and saying "don't ever use Q-tips!" - I could hear him say "goodbye" as soon as he stepped out - but I gathered I was his last patient and it was now about an hour over so I understood even if the feeling of being rushed and questions unanswered is not ideal. He diagnosed a fungal ear infection and told me he was prescribing drops, told his assistant to fill it, and rushed out. So, I then go to the pharmacy and they tell me Blue Cross won't fill the prescription as the doctor accidentally prescribed the lotion form of the antibiotic and not the ear drops version (the difference is they have different long Latin suffixes). I call Blue Cross and they explain that there are two forms of the antibiotic, drops and lotion, and repeat that the doctor accidentally prescribed the lotion, it's not covered, and the doctor should be able to correct it. I called the doc's office and leave a message for his assistant. I go on the interwebs and they confirmed there are two forms, drops and lotions, drops are for ear infections, lotions are for jock itch (external infections). I called back the assistant seven hours later with a detailed message. All this time the infection was getting worse. Excruciating pain has now extended to my head, jaw, and all the teeth on the left side of my head. I call on Wednesday (again, the appointment was Monday) and leave yet another voicemail. Finally, later Wednesday, I call again but direct myself to "appointments" and explain all this. I was put on hold and then disconnected. I called back and was ultimately directed to the assistant. I explain this to him and he says there is no such thing as ear drops for this medicine (the ear drops are "Clotrimazole" and the lotion is "Clotrimazole - Betamethasone" in case you want to check - the doc prescribed the latter though the directions are for the former ("insert drops ..."). I explain that Blue Cross and the pharmacist and the doctor's prescription directions and the list of drugs and uses on WebMD say otherwise. I also ask how I am to get a lotion into my inner ear. He then asked me whether it was powder and how thick it was so that maybe I can get it in a dropper (I am neither kidding nor lying). I ask to speak to the doctor and he says the doctor is busy and repeats that maybe I should try a dropper. I, increasingly frustrated, point out that he claimed it doesn't exist, he doesn't know if it is powder nor lotion, that that insurance and the pharmacist said it was a mistake, that it's not liquid, that I don't have it because the mistaken medicine is not covered, and I am simply trying to get the mistake corrected. He then said "maybe you should try a Q-tip." I admit I raised my voice in asking to talk to the doctor. I try to never do so, but I was in pain. But I did not swear, nor insult him. I am not that type. Doctor Grobman then did in fact come to the phone - it was too quick for him to be given any of these facts - and simply said "you don't ever talk to my assistant with disrespect." I got through "I don't know how to get the medicine in my ear ..." before he cut me off with a "use a dropper! Good day!" and hung up. Mistakes happen. I get that. That's why it's important to return calls, to train assistants not to cover their errors by making up facts about the existence of medicines, and not to blather about using fingers and Q-Tip's to administer alleged eat medicine, and for the doctor to make sure he understands the problems first hand instead of listening to his employee's self-serving summary of any conflict. Each word is the truth. I could have embellished. I did not.

I arrived early and let the front desk know I would return closer to my scheduled time. I was encouraged to complete paperwork and was checked in at 11:11 AM, with the explanation that I might be called early. There is no cell phone signal inside the building, which makes it difficult to step away or use your phone while waiting. Despite being told I might be seen early, I was not called back until 1:25 PM, close to my original appointment time. When I finally saw the doctor, I did not feel that the visit provided meaningful direction or solutions for my concerns. The interaction felt brief and unproductive, and I left feeling that my time had not been well used. I understand that medical offices can run behind schedule, but clearer communication and more thorough patient engagement would improve the overall experience.
