I need a recommendation for an ENT who accepts Fidelis? Sons adenoids need to be removed ASAP. Dr recommended Dr Haddad. Did anyone have a good experience with him?

It would help to know where you are located.

Seattle Childrens Hospital has an excellent ENT department.

Yes, we used Dr. Haddad for ear tubes and were very happy with him. He is very experienced and skilled, and also really nice and patient, and takes the times to discuss all your concerns and answer all your questions.

If you’re coming to Columbia already go straight to Grunstein

Dr. Haddad is not at Columbia anymore. And both Drs. Haddad and Grunstein are of the same caliber; they were both department chairs together. From what I have heard, it can take months to get an appointment with Dr. Grunstein. Now that Dr. Haddad left Columbia and joined ENT & Allergy Associates you can get an appointment with him very quickly, like in a few days.

I have no idea what it's like for new patients.
My ds has been his (Dr. Eli Grunstein) patient for years and I am thrilled with him. I usually have no problem getting an appointment within a month.
He did surgery for us as well and was awesome. I was also very happy with anesthesia at Columbia and everything we did there.

I used Dr. Haddad. We were very happy with him and it is easy to get an appointment. He was one of the names that I got from a referral agency. (The person who took my call had actually used him for her son.)

Why don't you just call both and find out which one can give you an appointment sooner

Thanks all! This was very helpful. I was recommended Dr Haddad over Dr. Rickert. I will check out Dr. Gruenstein too.

Dr. Haddad is phenomenal, he spends as much time as you need answering questions.
Dr. Grunstein is also top notch.
There is also dr. Max april in nyu.
And dr. Jay dolitsky in ent Associates
