I feel like it was a total "score" to find Dr. Pulli. I moved here to Rochester from AZ in 2021, and at some point not long after I developed an ear infection, which I'm prone to. Being accustomed to the battle for good medical help where I came from I expected the worst. I couldn't believe it when not only was I able to book an appointment to see Dr. Pulli in just a week or two (vs a month or two where I came from) AND, as I learned at my appointment, that he's a super competent, professional, and likeable guy. I'm moving back to AZ this summer (2023), and I'll certainly miss having him as my ENT. I don't look forward to trying to find a replacement [...]

I consider Dr. Pulli a great find as a healthcare provider. In the past 10 or 15 years I've had a number of doctors who seem overworked, distracted and generally checked out. My visits with them were disappointing. In that regard Dr Pulli seems like something of a throwback to a simpler time when doctors were better treated by society and vice versa. He's sharp and good humored and thorough.
