Dr. Drake is seriously the best doctor I have ever seen. I have gone for years and years without any doctor listening to me and one visit with Dr. Drake and things are finally being taken care of me. Ironically, none of the issues are an ENT problem (though symptoms lead me to him). But because he listened I’m on the right path. I definitely recommend Dr. Drake!

Dr. Drake was amazing! He was so patient and explained everything to my mother who I brought to an appointment. We were worried about nose bleeds and he was detailed in not only explaining what it could be but also checking. Would recommend him!

Dr. Drake and the entire staff were by far the best we have ever come in contact with.

To start – Dr Drake offered a type of empathy and compassion that is rarely seen in today’s world. He was incredibly smart and educated. He chose the correct path for our daughters care and he was extremely professional. He explained everything and made our 5 year old daughter feel comfortable in an uneasy and scary situation, as well as us. He is top notch doctor and would recommend him for any ENT needs.

The staff was kind, welcoming, attentive and overall amazing. I wish we could give more then 5 stars. Their are not enough words to give the kind of care we received from beginning to end.
