“Dr. Acker saved my life in June. He found cancer immediately after being misdiagnosed by 4 other doctors.”

Dr. Acker found cancer within minutes. Next day I received scans. He sent me right to a lung specialist’s. Within 3 weeks my cancer tripled in size. If Dr Acker didn’t find it when he did I would have died

“Life transforming”

For Dr. Sugrue has a gift. I used to have constant ringing in my ear gone; my head was full of pressure 24/7 I couldn't breathe through my nose. Those situations are no more an issue. I was out of breath; if I would go up a set of stairs now, I could run like a teenager and still have breath left over. From my experience with Dr. Sugrue, I would hear grumbling in the waiting area to be seen; he's worth it; people wait hours for fancy restaurants. Meanwhile, your life will be changed if you get the opportunity to have him as your doctor. You are blessed

I told Dr. Acker on my last visit, that he was a very good doctor, and I was very pleased with his patience, and the time he always took to explain anything that he was doing, and especially the procedure I was having done. He always asked me if I had any questions, and took the time to answer them, and any concerns I may have had. He never made me feel rushed, or like he was worried about moving on to the next patient. Definitely would recommend Dr. Acker :)

“Terrific professional”

Dr. Zaretsky was professional and knowledgeable. I have been experiencing sinus pressure for over 5 years now, it makes me sleepy, uncomfortable and many times has lead to sinus infections. I was hesitant to have a procedure done as all may be, but after a few visits with Dr. Zaretsky I felt comfortable and knew that this was the right choice for me. I am so grateful to her. I can now experience the least amount of sinus pressure I have in over 5 years as well as not need to constantly utilize nasal sprays to reduce the chance of sinus infections. Thank you
