    I have been seeing Dr. Oshinsky for years now. He is an extremely kind, thoughtful, empathetic, and…read moredetail oriented doctor. He makes you feel at ease and is a great listener. I recently visited Dr. Oshinsky for another case of tonsillitis (I've had 2-3 in the last several years). I was able to get an appointment in less than 24 hours due to how severe my symptoms were. I had come from a horrible experience at an urgent care (the only place open that weekend) and was relieved when Dr. Oshinsky confirmed my hunch that I had tonsillitis when I had previously been dismissed by incompetent nurses at the urgent care. He gave me a detailed guide for the next 10 days including fluid intake, Tylenol and advil schedules, plus a prescription for both antibiotics and a steroid so I could start feeling better as soon as possible. He withheld from prescribing any pain killer since he listened to me when I said I had trouble breathing when I slept and wanted to make sure airflow wasn't suppressed any further. Obviously, I was very grateful for his foresight on that front and his listening skills. I was in and out in 30 minutes. Also, the nurses in his practice are very friendly and understanding. They knew I had trouble talking so they paid close attention to my paperwork to keep me out of as much pain as possible. Although Dr. Oshinsky is affiliated with Mercy, he's not their employee. I'm not sure if that makes a difference, but just a little detail for anyone who cares to know. I highly recommend Dr. Oshinsky for all your ear, nose, and throat needs. He is trustworthy and with his years of experience, knows what the hell he is doing.

    I am absolutely disgusted with the disrespectful, bullying treatment I received from Dr. Oshinsky…read more He spent most of our visit berating and ridiculing me, and became rude and defensive when I failed to laugh at his obnoxious, misogynistic jokes. He refused to listen when I described issues I'd had with a previous ENT (telling me "that would never have happened" when I described a adverse reaction to medication and "that doesn't hurt" when I described a painful test). I'm not sure how he could possibly have expected to diagnose or treat me, since he interrupted everything I had to say. At one point, I simply had to tell him, "Please let me speak." And, of course, he couldn't do anything for my persistent cough. Dr. Oshinsky is deeply unprofessional and remarkably unkind; I will never see him again and strongly discourage anyone from visiting his office.
