Our initial appointment with Dr Behar was fine she apologized for the staff not noting that he was deaf, and do it herself. He was referred to her after a sleep study which confirmed sleep apnea so we were going to get his tonsils and adenoids removed to try and help his sleep. We got it scheduled and it was months in the future. Told them he needed an interpreter for the pre op. And for surgery. We get there to the pre op and there’s a video interpreter who has canceled the staff say. I told them no to the video interpreter... read more

This Doctor goes above and beyond. She helped my daughter so much. She looks at the entire individual and genuinely cares and listens. I love this Dr. !!! She is A++++ the office staff is typical but the Dr. makes up for Their lack of interest.

My daughter was 4 when she was diagnosed with a moderate to severe hearing loss. This was difficult news for us to hear but our experience with Dr. Behar and staff made us very comfortable. Dr. Behar was absolutely wonderful in explaining things to us. She is kind, compassionate and extremely thorough. I recommend Dr. Behar to everyone, it’s very rare to find a doctor that goes out of there like she does. She is one of a kind, and I recommend her to all parents.

Dr. Behar's office is extremely RUDE, and dismissive. Either they are too busy to care, or they simply DON'T CARE about how they speak to or treat their patients. My daughter and I were about 15 minutes late for our appointment. After we got there, we signed in and then sat down to be called. After about 45 minutes, her office realizes we were waiting to be seen. Then they tell me we can't be seen because we were late, after sitting and waiting for an hour. They are highly unprofessional.

Dr Behar doesn't have experience in tongue ties. She was extremely dismissive & seemed puzzled when I told her I was concerned about a posterior tongue tie. She said the lip tie wasn't a problem and her nephew's lip tie was clipped but it didn't make a difference. She spent very little time with us after a long wait both in the waiting room and exam room. Her advice was to offer my 8 month old son a sucker to see if he'd stick his tongue out (which he hadn't previously done, so I was concerned).

Dr Behar took exceptional care of my nephew who had an infected thyroglossal cyst in his neck. I accompanied him to see the doctor because I am a health care professional. She is very patient and compassionate and conservative in that she did not jump to removing it surgically. She treated the problem with antibiotics and a month later took him to surgery and removed the cyst. She drew pictures for Vinny's mom and made her very very comfortable about the whole experience.
