Dr. Bakos is extremely personable, friendly, and always takes the time to answer my questions. He makes you feel comfortable asking anything and genuinely listens. I really appreciate how much he cares about his patients!
Very personable and easy to talk to!
Excellent Doctor. He has a wealth of experience in Ears, Nose and Throat. He has Excellent listening skills and is very attentive to my concerns.
Super Doc!!!
Had some urgency to getting me on his schedule when other doctors continued to just push me down the line. He personally called me after my appointment after I raised some concerns about discomfort. Very pleased with my experience and would recommend their practice to anyone.
Exceptional doctor who listened attentively to all my concerns and issues. I look forward to working with him in conjunction with TMJ doctor to resolve my jaw problems and my sleep apnea. Hoping to post an update in a few months with progress.
Dr. Bakos is the best. Always very friendly and explains everything so it’s understandable.
Very informative and educational
Always takes his time and explains everything!
Dr Bakos is a great ENT doctor. I went to see him and told him the problem I was having and he immediately found the problem and has scheduled a procedure to get me healthier.
