Dr Faria listens well and explained the results of the MRI in a way I could understand.

Dr. Faria was beyond amazing. His demeanor was calming and my 8 month old daughter was instantly comfortable with him. He listened to our concerns and did not minimize anything. He explained things clearly and had several options in place to make sure this issue was resolved. I would more than recommend Dr. Faria to anyone that may need to see a pediatric ENT!

Dr. Faria referred us to Dr. Vaniandjelovic to close the whole in [...] ear when we were in the office. Dr. Vaniandjelovic was there and came to see us. He was very nice and explained everything. I just wish Dr. Faria would have circled back to advise that we will see Dr. Vaniandjelovic then follow up with him. Both Doctor's were very nice and knowledgeable. It just would have been nice to finish with Dr. Faria since we started the appointment with him so things do not seem up in the air.

Dr. Faria took his time, was not rushed at all. Listened to mine and my husband's concerns about our daughter and discussed his course of action moving forward. He was very thorough, has amazing bedside manner and made my daughter feel extremely comfortable.
