I went to Dr. Emami concerned about ear pain I had for 3 months. I was worried I had throat cancer. Dr. Emami reassured me the one thing he was certain I didn't have was throat cancer. Still I pushed or a definitive test to rule it out. A CT was ordered at my request. Good thing I pushed as it was indeed throat cancer which had moved into my lymph node. Then when it came to doing a biopsy of my lymph node, I asked if it would hurt. He responded "It wont hurt me at all". The biopsy was terribly painful and it turns out he mis... read more

He was to do a fine needle aspiration in one noddle in my thyroid. He did it 3 times and every time he moved the needle inside my throat aiming other noddles with the most horrible pain I have ever experience, and I have given birth to 3 children , No anesthetic , no preparation, nothing! I think he has trained by the CIA. Horrible experience. I had this procedure before and although is no exactly pleasant was never this painful.

Saw him once. He ordered a test. When I asked him if he wanted to know what was happening with my symptoms he said ‘no, not really’.

Rush rush rush. Gives you no credit for having any intelligence. Dismissive of your earnest questions. Did a procedure in his office that I have been told never should have been done there. Fortunately, I found someone else, a great ENT physician, to handle my very serious condition.

Absolutely a breeze getting my thyroid biopsy this week from Dr Emami. Although I did massire research & terrified myself watching Youtube video of procedure, I recommend not watching because procedure was nothing like video whatsoever. Not sure I even got lidocaine the biopsy was done without pain & almost instantaneous. Dr. Emami said "ok you're done, you did good". So I said "how long before you start?". He said"no you are done, make apt for 2 weeks". Unbelievable overall reaction 5star

Very busy practice. There is almost always a wait to be seen but even if I had to wait 5 hours, it's be worth the wait. And even if he only had 5 minutes to see me, I know for a fact that I'd be taken care of because, out of all the specialists I saw, he was the only one that was acrually able to help me, find my problem and fix it. Not only me but my daughter and soon my brother also.

I was a new patient when I saw Dr. Emami. He rushed so much with me he made me forget the questions I had for him. Then, he inserted the tubes through my nostrils without asking or telling me. My ENT questions that I had for him I took them right back home. This was a complete wasteful visit.
