Doesn't know all the answers, but I don't expect him to, however, he listens, seems sincere in his concern and efforts to find an answer/resolution to my condition.....which is a lot more than I can say for the many doctors that have tried before, to provide me some relief.

Dr. Best is excellent. I have a history of vocal cord polyps and I see Dr. Best once a year for a check-up and laryngoscopy. Dr. Best is always courteous, professional and takes the time to carefully review the results of the laryngoscopy with me and answer any questions or concerns I may have.

Dr Best is one of the best providers I've ever had as he is very knowledgeable and attentive and patient with me as I can be difficult to understand at times. He shares good advice to better my value of life considering my condition. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who would require care from his service both now and in the future, he also deserves a recommendation for his hard work at his practice as he places myself and his other patients as priority rendering the best care possible. Thank you Dr best you are amazing

Excellent care

Apr 9, 2026
Dr. Best provided exceptional care! He listened to my concerns and thoroughly walked me through a video taken of my vocal cords. He was able to diagnose and find answers for my condition that other doctors were not. I was very impressed that he was familiar with other doctors reports I had brought in with me for this visit. I felt I was in very good hands with him and felt very confident in his expertise. The visit far exceeded my expectations.
