Just as MOST of the others had to say, this doctor came off as arrogant, condescending and even confrontational. My elderly 86-year-old father was nervous about seeing Dr. Carrigg again because just as we got into his new office, my father suddenly remembered that it was THIS doctor who hurt him during an ear wax removal appointment some 4 years ago at an older office location. That first visit actually left a scab on my father's ear drum. I tried to tell the doctor to be careful and gentle this time, and Carrigg actually told me to "drop it!" I will NEVER bring my aging father to this "doctor" again.

I first went to see Dr. Kmucha for a small problem. During my visit, I found out he had spent…read moreseveral hours the night before reading all my health records. Doing that helped him solve the biggest health problem in my life - a migraine (a headache so bad I couldn't tolerate normal amounts of light and always felt like I was going to puke) that never stopped. Many other doctors couldn't fix this problem, even though I went to them specifically for help with my migraine. I have a lot of very complicated health problems. One doctor told me that talking to me about all my health issues was like taking their entire medical exam with just one patient. Other doctors left me to figure what was causing my migraine on my own, but Dr. Kmucha was the first to take the time to understand what was going on. Because of his special training, he could see my problem in ways other doctors couldn't. Dr. Kmucha saved my life - I really mean that. That migraine I mentioned earlier? It never went away - 24 hours a day, every single day, for 2 1/2 years. The pain was so bad that one night, while working in a completely dark room with a fully dimmed screen and wearing sunglasses, I didn't even notice I was crying until my husband pointed it out. Before seeing Dr. Kmucha, I had gone to dozens of doctors about this constant migraine during that 2 1/2 years. I told each doctor the exact same symptoms. Instead of being curious about my problem, they just nodded and acted like they cared, but then blew me off without really helping. Each visit just delayed me from getting real help even longer. Since these doctors couldn't understand my symptoms right away, they decided I was either lying or making it up. Dr. Kmucha figured out what might be wrong before I even met him: I had something called a rhinogenic headache. What's that? After I moved to a farming area, my deviated septum (crooked cartilage in my nose) had swollen up and was pressing on a nerve that goes straight to my brain. While other doctors thought I was unstable or seeking drugs, Dr. Kmucha was thorough and paid attention to details. He gave me accurate information so I could make a good choice about my treatment. I chose to have surgery, which completely fixed my problem. I haven't had any pain from this issue for over six years now. Many doctors dismiss complicated health problems as being "all in the patient's head," but Dr. Kmucha took the time to really investigate. The hours he spent learning about my health history gave him the information he needed to actually fix my problem. He didn't just kick the can down the road like all the other doctors. I live in a rural farming area, so I have to travel far to see specialists, but any distance to see Dr. Kmucha is worth it because of his skill at solving complex health problems. Do I recommend Dr. Kmucha? Yes, absolutely. If I ever need help from an ear, nose, and throat doctor again, he will be my only choice.

I saw many ent's before DR F. and none of them could handle my nasal poylps. Dr finally made me a lot better 3 years ago. We have done a few minor surgeries and check ups since. This last Dec '17, he came to the conclusion that UCSF needed to do this next surgery since he said he felt more comfortable me seeing their top sinus doctor. Im so happy with my results and the guidance of the doctor.

I went in for a sinus infection culture over 6 months ago, and the sample was sent to an out-of-network lab. This resulted in a large charge that, after speaking with my insurance, I should not have been responsible for. The situation escalated to the point where the lab sent the bill to collections. Because of this experience, I would not return to this provider. Patients have to be able to trust that office staff are knowledgeable about insurance networks and that they will communicate clearly if issues arise. That did not happen here. Overall, this was an unfortunate experience, and I was dissatisfied with both the handling of my care and the lack of follow-up.

The front office said "Well we could book you but it would be weeks out", I'm sorry but he's 3 years old! I am disappointed on handle of this matter and will be seeking for another ENT.

OK, here's the deal, if you have environmental allergies and need to get allergy shots, this place is as good as any. The doc is well-read and well-informed and the staff do a pretty good job to make sure everything is A-ok. The allergy shots schedule is somewhat reasonable, although sometimes the doc is late/doesn't show up so then you can't get your shots done. If you undergo anaphylactic shock and have severe allergic reactions to food, definitely seek help, whether here or elsewhere. However, if the doc asks you (out of the blue) whether you want to try to do a food allergy test (when you don't have any) and put you on a 'special' diet and take part in a study. Say no. The study is faulty, the diet is expensive and is not based on solid science, and all you will learn will boil down into these nuggets of wisdom: (1) Dr. Kushnir does not properly understand genetics and will argue you down with half-truths and bad science, (2) vary your diet, (3) if you eat the same foods for 2 months you will develop low level allergic reactions to it, (4) allergies to foods vary greatly and the degree of your reaction can change day to day and week to week. When I decided to leave this practice (partly due to learning my doc believes in pseudoscience and partly because it's too expensive) the dude that does all the payments (Dr. Kushnir's hubby) had the gall to put down the allergist I was transferring to and only THEN did he offer solutions to bringing down the cost of going to this office. Very disappointed. Still, I love their staff (that's why it's a 2-star, not a 1-star)
