Pleasant knowledgeable MD
I felt well treated. I was a little bit surprised that I could only discuss the “reason for visit” I gave on the phone. The other issues were definitely ENT issues and relevant to the primary symptom.
More than 1 year agoEvelyn F.Verified patient
EXCELLENT PATIENT 1ST CARE. ONE DR. RECOMMENDED SURGERY. BUT DR. T IS GOING TO TEACH ME HOW TO MANAGE & MAINTAIN W/OUT IT. BTW, THIS WOULD'VE BEEN MY 3RD SUNUS SURGERY. ETHICS & INTEGRITY FIRST, NOT MONEY. THANK YOU. MY 'UNOFFICIAL' 2ND OPINION :)
December 14, 2020Nichelle B.Verified patientVideo visit
Dr. Troost is the absolute best, he is super nice, knows what he is talking about, and explains stuff really well. Prescribed medications instead of surgery to help you get well, and calls back right away when you leave messages. He is awesome!
December 12, 2020John K.Verified patient
Saw Dr. Troost for a second opinion on a polyp issue, that he diagnosed as a granuloma instead and prescribed two medicines to help with it vs immediately going to surgery as my other doctor did. He immediately setup pre-authorization if surgery needed and followed up next day after my insurance denied one of the prescriptions to provide another option. He is super friendly, answered all my questions, and describes health issues well, highly recommend.
November 18, 2020John K.Verified patient
He quickly diagnosed my issue and took care of the problem on the spot. Sorry I waited so long to get treatment. Great personality too.
