Dr. Astrachan's Care Philosophy
Having been a patient on multiple occasions I know how I wish to be treated. It is my goal to treat patients the way I wish to be treated. I want a physician who will listen to me, educate me, treat me with skill and compassion and not keep me waiting or rush me. That is how I strive to treat my patients. Every doctor patient interaction may not be perfect but I hope that by keeping the patient first and foremost I can get close.

Did not like him at all. Was very rough when drying to clean my ears. No doctor before or after was ever that painful.

If you have ENT issues, don't wait, don't suffer - see Dr. Astrachan. I've had sinus problems for years and was treated by numerous others unsuccessfully. Dr. Astrachan correctly diagnosed my issue(s), advised me of all my options, and explained exactly what is going to happen each step of the way. He operated on me and monitored my progress throughout recovery. The process went exactly as he said it would and I'm cured (finally)! Dr. Astrachan is the doctor you want for a loved one.

I waited over 1 hr to see the dr. I learned that he was leaving for vac that afternoon & caused the backup for the morning. When he saw me, 3 mins were spent. First he was looking at x-rays (which I never had) & said I had a deviated septum. I was there for an earache. He looked at my ear, throat, & touched around my ear. He handed me a piece of paper and told me to follow the instructions. He said my problem was TMJ, not the case because my symptoms are different. Going to another ENT.

After being seen by 3 doctors that could not diagnose my problem I went to see Dr. Astrachan. When I scheduled the appointment I discussed my problem with the woman making the appointment. She said Dr Astrachan is good with diagnosing oddities. Within 10 minutes at my appointment Dr Astrachan diagnosed me with Pallatol Myoclonus.Taking medication before bedtime resolves the problem. I returned with a second issue which was diagnosed as esophagitis as a result of taking anti inflammatory meds. ??

Dr. Astrachan was so unprofesional . He treated patient very bad . Yeling , attitude , not answering questions .When we got home , hes secratary called us to appologies and to return our copay money. She told us that he had a bad day. That's not excuse to treat patients like that . We changed the doctor right away

Doctor Astrachan can work wonders for a deviated septum. I have always had a deviated septum and put off seeing an ENT doctor my whole life (29 years), but I fell and broke my nose in November. That?s when I knew I had to do something. I used these reviews to pick my doctor. I met with him and he is very knowledgeable and caring. He suspected me of having sleep apnea and recommended me to a specialist before I go through with the surgery. Turns out he was right! After that was taken care of I we
