Dr. Gurian is one one the best doctors in the whole world. Believe me I was many in different lands and saw many. He is compassionate and very knowledgeable and have great ability to diagnose. Knowledge is not enough one must have the power to decipher the cause which most doctors do not have. God bless you Dr. Gurian and thank you. https://yelp.to/vxoJd_jbml read more

Dr. Gurian saved my hearing, and I am eternally grateful to him. He worked with me for months to get my infected ear healthy enough to have surgery to fix my eardrum, and the surgery was success. I guess I can kind of get why people think Dr. Gurian is a bit standoffish, but honestly, who's looking for their best friend at the doctor? I just wanted someone to help me. And he did, he was professional, straightforward and actually very kind. I would highly recommend him. read more

After a couple of years of steadily increasing tonsil annoyingness, I finally made an appointment with an ENT. Lucky for me, Dr. Gurian was the first listed on my insurance company's provider list. The office in Falls Church isn't fancy, in fact the elevator in the building is downright scary if you're at all claustrophobic. They share a parking lot with the rest of the building but everytime I've been there, there have been plenty of spaces available. The office staff are all incredibly friendly and efficient, in person and on the phone. They had no problems scheduling my appointments around my weird work and travel schedule. Dr. Gurian himself is very personable and funny. He explains things in Doctor-ese and then in plain English (and I'm pretty sure his whole office speaks Spanish, so he could explain it a third time if you wanted). Dr. G also ended up being my surgeon when I had my tonsillectomy done last month. I recovered quickly and had no complications. I'd recommend him and his office to anyone looking for an ENT. read more

I'm not sure what to make of the negative Yelp reviews, but these guys have consistently phenomenal ratings on Angie's List. Honestly, I have NEVER encountered a more professional, kind, engaging doctor's office. At every level, the staff manifested the most sincere degree of helpfulness and concern for my well-being. The experience started with my faux pas of showing up late to my appointment. In spite of my 20-minute tardiness, the receptionist was exceedingly courteous and patient. My appointment was with Dr. Roeser. Despite looking not a day older than 27, Dr. Roeser proved herself to be an outstanding doctor with excellent bedside manner. She carefully examined my ears and immediately identified the problem. Typically, the condition requires outpatient surgery. When I explained I was going out of town in two days, Dr. Roeser regretted that she wouldn't be able to perform the surgery in time. She immediately left to find another doctor who could examine me and perform the surgery in her place. The fact that she could be so accommodating to my needs was truly remarkable; usually with doctors you're on their timetable, not yours. Dr. Roeser introduced me to Dr. Gurian who was (unsurprisingly) also phenomenal. He quickly confirmed Dr. Roeser's findings, and even suggested he might be able to fix my ear tubes under a microscope, right there on the spot (thus saving time and money). He very calmly, reassuringly talked me through the whole in-office procedure - one that involved him prodding around my inner ear. Despite the risk of error and/or severe pain, I hardly felt a thing and the tube was fixed perfectly. When I asked about the cost of an antibiotic solution he prescribed, Dr. Gurian even went out of his way to find me a free sample. Believe the Angie's List reviews. This team really is the best. read more

No major complaints. I visited Dr. Gurian to get an opinion on some bumps in the back of my throat. I suspected it was probably nothing serious, and told him as much. He kindly listened to my concern, and performed an inspection of my throat. I have no way of knowing how thorough it was, but it seemed convincing enough. Long story short, there's nothing wrong with me. But Dr. Gurian took a few minutes to explain a few things related to my concern, and suggest possible remedies if I experience any symptoms in the future. The office staff was polite. No complaints there. The only minor complaint I could have is that he was running about 25 minutes late. For better or worse, that is not unusual for a doctor's office. read more

I was (mis)diagnosed by my primary care provider with an ear infection ("fluid in the ear") and prescribed antibiotics. That diagnose kind of made sense given that I just recovered from the flu the week before. But when my hearing did not recover after being on antibiotics for 3 days, my husband pleaded with me to see an ENT specialist and I am so glad that he did!!! I came to this office because it was the first place that had availability. From the beginning, the office staff was very helpful, friendly and welcoming. Dr. Gurian, who I found to be extremely kind, informative, patient and empathetic, didn't think I had an ear infection and was concerned enough about my particular case that he immediately squeezed me in to see his on-site audiologist for a hearing test. After my test results came back (right then and there), it confirmed his suspicion that I didn't have an ear infection at all but rather was suffering from sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Basically, I needed steroids (not antibiotics) to reduce inflammation I had in my inner ear caused by the flu virus. The inflammation was so bad that it was basically strangling and killing the nerves in my ear causing hearing loss. Dr. Gurian explained all of this to me and described his recommended course of action. He would start with non-invasive steroid meds and if that didn't work, then steroid injections and ultimately a possible MRI as the last resort. He could tell that I was starting to freak out and he was nothing but kind, informative and calming. It was also so great that his office had an audiologist on-site and the necessary equipment to properly diagnose my issue. I am so incredibly thankful to Dr. Gurian, his nurses, audiologist and the rest of his team. They were all so TERRIFIC and had it not been for Dr. Gurian, I probably would have sustained permanent hearing loss in my ear. Thank you so much Dr. Gurian!!! read more

The only reason he gets two stars is because the receptionists were friendly. The reviews describing him as brief, condescending, and quick to judgement are spot on. I came to him for help, and he didn't even listen to why I was there; only perked up to the more expensive options for treatment, wether they applied or Not. I went in to get a deviated septum looked at, a condition he said I do have in the moderate to severe range. But rather than addressing that or possible allergies, he decided I need a sleep study for sleep apnea- a condition he had little evidence to even suggest I had. Then he told me I was over weight (I'm about 30 lbs over) And it was all because I'm essentially fat that Im having any issues. He offered a laughable suggestion to help me eat better and sent me off with two expensive referrals! This guy is a joke and a waste of time. I'm getting a second opinion. read more

I went to see Dr. Gurian with a severe sore throat as I was told by an urgent clinic that I needed to see an ENT. As I did not have a fever or show signs of strep he quickly determined, after looking at my throat for all of 2 seconds, that my sore throat was caused by acid reflux. This diagnoses couldn't have been more wrong. The urgent clinic that I originally went to finally received my test results, since they took the time to culture my throat. They found out that I had H flu, which doesn't show any signs in the throat but can be extremely painful. You would think that a throat "specialist" would have known that H flu could be an option and would have taken the time to run the necessary tests. I sent my records to Dr. Gurian and requested that he call me to discuss my results as I wanted to make sure that the urgent clinic provided the right treatment plan. One month later, he never called. I honestly would stay far away from this practice. I couldn't have been more disappointed. read more

I visited Dr. Gurian after receiving a diagnosis and recommended treatment from another Otolaryngologist. I did not share the diagnosis prior to my arrival. Dr. Gurian was extremely knowledgable and efficient in examining me and reviewing my tests. He was open with me about options and on-point in his assessment of my parotid tumor. Because of the confidence I felt in Dr. Gurian, I selected him over 3 other ENTs to perform my parotidectomy. His office was efficient in scheduling me and everything progressed as expected. Dr. Gurian was great at the hospital pre-op and my surgery was a success in every way. I would recommend him to my family and anyone else. I have read some comments about his demeanor on here and I can't disagree more. If you are looking for a friend to be your doctor, best if luck. If you want an honest, skillful and efficient doctor to diagnose and treat your Otolaryngological issue, call Dr. Gurian. read more

Saw Dr. Gurian for recurring tonsillitis and ended up deciding to go through a tonsillectomy. Dr. Gurian was a very clear communicator regarding procedure and recovery expectations and did not pressure me into the surgery at any point. Procedure itself was thorough and the recovery was smooth. Would recommend. read more

I went to Dr. Gurian because I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea in February. After a checkup in May he told me I had a pretty severely deviated septum and told me a septoplasty and turbinate reduction would help. His manner was very welcoming and he obviously knew his stuff! He answered any and all questions I had and was very pleasant. I scheduled surgery and had it June 16. There was very little pain afterwards, and the nasal splints were removed 2 days after surgery (no packing the nose with gauze!). Again, all questions were answered and Dr. Gurian was more than happy to sit and talk with my wife and I to make sure we knew what to do post-surgery, etc. I just went back today for follow up, Dr. Gurian was very pleased with the results, and once again was spot-on with his diagnosis and the expectations I should have for recovery going forward. He once again answered all my questions and was very honest in reiterating to me that this would probably not cure my sleep apnea but would certainly help. I am so very pleased with everything Dr. Gurian has done for me, I would recommend him without reservation if you have a problem with your nose, your breathing, whatever! read more
