I have seen Dr. Nasari twice and both times have been great experiences. He’s very confident in his knowledge, direct and to the point with any concerns. I felt like he took time to listen, was very thorough in his checkup and his diagnosis/prescription has made a difference in my day to day activities.
I was recently referred to Dr. Naseri for a specialty procedure. I was extremely impressed with the entire experience, so much so that when my husband and I got back into the car after the first visit we both simultaneously commented on what an extremely pleasant experience the entire visit was, from the front desk staff to the nurse to Dr. Naseri. This experience was so far superior to any other medical visit that either of us have had in recent years. This outstanding level of service actually started before I ever arrived at his office, with the scheduling and communication that came from his Office Manager. All facets of the entire process, from the first contact to the medical procedure that Dr. Naseri performed, were clearly communicated and all of my questions were answered. As I have told multiple people since this visit, if you are in need of a very qualified specialist related to any ENT issues or associated head and neck issues you should definitely contact Dr. Naseri and his team. I am certain that you will be as impressed as I have been, as it’s difficult in today’s climate to find a quality health care team like this.
I was extremely impressed by Dr. Naseri on our first visit to him. We have been looking for a new ENT as our long-time one retired. We have seen a few others and have accomplished nothing. I don't mind at all having to drive 30 minutes out of town to see someone with his degree of professionalism and knowledge!
Everyone was very friendly. This is the first time of all the ENTs that I've seen over the last few year's this Doctor showed concern and compassion for my issue. I can tell he's not going to stop until he can help me and give me relief! Also, he took his time explaining things to me in a way that I could understand. I highly recommend Dr. Naseri.
I was referred to Dr. Naseri for some throat issues. So far he’s the first doctor I had that actually could help me with what was wrong. He listened to my health issues and addressed them by showing me what could be wrong. We are now working through the tests of which I am confident that he will be able to solve my health concerns and help relieve my discomfort or resolve it together. I am looking forward to having great success with Dr. Naseri!!!
Dr. Naseri is a true gem. He patiently listened to me and was extremely knowledgeable and I feel lucky I found him; I traveled several hours and I am so glad I did. His assistant was awesome as well, she was so thorough and helpful. I have rarely had an experience with a physician and staff who were this professional and caring. Highly recommend!
THE BEST SUBSPECIALIST DOC I'VE EVER SEEN "I was referred to Dr. Naseri by my allergist for chronic sinus issues. I have had 4 sinus surgeries by 3 ENT docs in the past 20 years. Still having same issues. I must admit that the wait time to see him is rediculous, about 2 months! But it's worth it. Once you get into the office/clinic area, everything and everyone is nice. Staff are very helpful and his nursing staff are very nice. He makes you feel very comfortable instantly and takes his time with you. You can really tell that he knows what he's doing and he also takes the time to educate his patients. He always has a resident or medical student with him, which can sometimes create redundancy in questions and answers. Anyways, I had my operation with him several months ago and I have never been able to breath better than now. I certainly recommend him to others, especially when it comes to seeking an ENT who super subspecializes in sinus and allergy conditions."
"I am new to Florida and have been suffering with tracheal stenosis since 2001. I looked up otolaryngologist in my area and liked what I read about Dr.Naseri. I made an appointment to see him and we clicked right away. He knew all my symptoms and knew exactly what to do to treat me. I am so glad to say my suffering is almost over. I think highly of Dr.Naseri. He goes above and beyond to help his patients. He really cares and it shows. 5 star all the way. Dr. Naseri and the entire office staff are awesome, from what I have seen and experienced they treat every patient as if they are their only patient. My previous ENT who I had been with for many years and will leave nameless had given up on finding the root cause of my long term chronic cough and told me I would just have to live with it, wrong answer. I started Googling for someone who doesn't give up and more aggressive in correctly diagnosing my problem accompanied with the best treatment; fortunately I found, who I think is one of the best, if not the best in the region. He was very systematic, rational and determined in his approach to identifying the root cause of my condition. He is excellent at explaining what he is doing and why, very energetic, gifted in his abilities and very intelligent yet he is personable and cares about his patients. Along with Martha, Lori and the rest of his staff I feel like I am getting the best care possible. I am very confident in Dr. Naseri, I only wish I had found him sooner. Best ENT specialist in the region. Probably the Top ENT specialist in the entire region."
Dr Naseri was very professional, explained the procedure thoroughly, and performed the nasal surgery in a timely manner. The results were better than I expected, I can finally breathe properly through my nose and all my sinus issues are resolved, the first time in over 65 years! I agree with several of the comments, docs are great, office staff needs a little training and only once have I spoken directly with a person, always forced to leave a message, several of which have still not been returned.
"Dr. Naseri worked alongside Dr. Sauvageau to remove a benign pituitary adenoma from my brain cavity. He was excellent from beginning to end. He visited my hospital room on almost a daily basis. Works extremely hard for all his patients and is very knowledgeable, patient. He is so popular that sometimes there IS quite a wait time to see him."
