Review for Dr. Merchant
Dr Ahn was on time, friendly and professional. Consultation was thorough and not rushed. Staff was professional and efficient.

Review for Dr. Ahn
Quick and to the point. Very busy practice so no time to chat. Explained each procedure well, his findings, and took the time to explain. Not overly warm and fuzzy but did engage when asked what brought him to the field of otolaryngology. Seemed knowledgeable. Appointment was quite fast, short wait...

Took a cancer biopsy and didn't get good specimens came back negative and had to be sent to a specialist to do another biopsy. Very upsetting as should have been sent to specialist in the first place.
