Eight years ago, my father died from complications after undergoing surgery by Lerrick. When we had…read moreconcerns immediately after the surgery, Lerrick yelled at my mother for calling him. Only when we made the decision to extubate did he show up, and did he offer condolences or apologies? No, he had the audacity to stand there and talk about what a great doctor he is until I cut him off. When I brought his name up in medical circles, not one had anything positive to say about him. Zero stars would be too many for him.

The worst Doctor I have ever been to. I had sinus surgery a couple years ago, because of many sinus…read moreinfections. He told me this surgery would help me. He also wanted to take biopsy's of my temporal arteries because i was having headaches. Well without knowing any better I agreed. He had me under anesthetic for 6 hours, he still could not find a pulse. He closed the temporal arteries up. I was on Oxygen 6 months afterwards. Every doctor I tell this to, they tell me I'm to young for what he was looking for. He shouldn't even of tried. I would not recommend Dr. Lerrick to anyone, his bedside manner has alot to be desired also. He is extremely opinionated!

I have been struggling with a swallowing issue for the past 10 years or so. I saw a different ENT…read morethree times, and was never given information about what was causing it, or what I could do to prevent it. Finally, a friend told me to get a second opinion and I lucked into an appointment with Dr. Layland. His manner is delightful, and his attentiveness to the issue was extraordinary. He ordered 2 different tests at Lutheran General, and an appointment with a speech therapist. After all of these years, I finally have some answers to my problem. I'm incredibly grateful that Dr. Layland is as thorough and compassionate as he is. And I'm grateful that I got this second opinion! Thank you very much, Dr. Layland!

Dr. Layland took his time and I could appreciated the fact that he was honest and told me he doesn't know what it is but will take a biopsy and HELP ME GET SOME ANSWERS!!! He did NOT sent me away and tell me to come back. He did what any doctor should do, provide the BEST care possible even if you don't have the answers. THANK YOU DR. LAYLAND because of you I think I am in good hands with the team of specialists that will be taking care of me. I am forever grateful.

My GP refers me to Dr. Alan Wolff, an Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist, and so off I go hoping for a quick fix so I can go on with my life. Instead I got a CT scan, a "wick" inserted in my ear, 3 prescriptions, and several sick days... but the good part is that Dr. Wolff is maybe the nicest doctor I've come across. I felt very confident in his care and he called me several times after my appointment to check up on me (not once, but several! this was very reassuring...especially after I looked up my diagnosis online and starting worrying about the infection spreading to my brain). The office assistants are also fantastic. My insurance company didn't want to approve my CT scan (which was necessary to my diagnosis) for 72 hours, but the office would hear nothing of it and made sure I got the procedure done that day. I would definitely recommend Dr. Wolff for any of your ear, nose, or throat needs. He also has offices in the city, and is a cut above the rest.

Importantly, Dr. Goldin believed me. He was kind, answered all my questions patiently, did not do hearing test unnecessarily(which happened with the other doctor in the practice).

My next appointment I waited over an hour just for him to spend about 10 minutes with me to prescribe two more nose sprays that again, were never sent in. After getting an allergy test, Dr. Dougherty assured me on the phone call that he'd tell the office to reach out to me to schedule my next appointment to discuss other treatments, which never happened either. And then I was charged a copay for that short phone call that I was not informed I was going to be charged for. Horrible communication, minimal effort and did not feel like he was listening or caring about my problems once. Do NOT recommend.

When you go, say no to everything except what you went in there for. I thought the 30 second exam he gave me was diagnosis, but NOPE, it was a $900 bill, that's what it was. Also, unless you really want to experience pain by speaking to the billing department, just pay the $1500 bill for the 2 minutes you spoke to the doctor, it will actually be better for your health, which is ironic.

My 2 year old son had some tests done and she recommended he get tubes for the fluid in his ears. She told us we needed to call the Golf Surgical Center to schedule his procedure and even gave us a few dates that she has openings over the next 2 weeks. We called to schedule right away, left a voicemail per their instructions so they could call me back. Two weeks passed...no call back. I called again, did the same thing, waited another two weeks...no call back. In the end I called 4 times over 6 weeks to schedule. I even called the front desk of the Niles office to see if they could help and they said they would put in an urgent request to have the scheduling folks call me back. That was was about 3 weeks ago....still no call back. It blows my mind that this medical practice is allowing this to happen. My son will be getting tubes elsewhere.
