“Dr. Edelstein is literally the only ENT who has gotten my diagnosis for several things correct on the first try; after I had been incorrectly diagnosed by others. BL”
Barbara L.January 4, 2019
“Dr. Edelstein is an excellent doctor. I went to him for a second opinion and was pleasantly surprised at how thorough he was in his examination and how he took extra time to explain everything to me.
While I only have positive things to say about Dr. Edelstein, his office staff in a complete disaster and were terrible with following up, submitting insurance information and seemed dazed and confused anytime i would speak to anyone there.”
