  2026-07-29

• my provider knew my history very well and reviewed it carefully before making his recommendations and ordering both the hearing test and a CAT scan on my ear and jaw I'm very appreciative for his intervention

  2026-07-31

• Great experience every time I contact and attend the Concord Mass Eye and Ear. Receptionist, nurses and Dr. Fattal are wonderful to interact with

  2026-07-30

• Would like more explanation about why I get intermittent ear pain.

  2026-07-29

• Excellent care.

  2026-07-26

• V I sit seemed short and hurried.

  2026-07-27

• [redacted] I left feeling extremely disappointed. The Dr did not listen and it was clear he had my "diagnosis" in mind before he even spoke to me. [redacted]

  2026-07-26

• Dr Fattal is very knowledgeable and pinpointed my problem quickly and very pleasant.

  2026-07-26

• During my visit, the provider spent very little time with me - under two minutes. He did not ask any questions about my condition or concerns, and the visit ended abruptly without a clear plan for next steps. There was no opportunity for me to ask questions before he left the room. [redacted] even a few additional minutes - enough to ask whether I had questions or to outline next steps - would have made a meaningful difference in how supported I felt regarding my current health concern. [redacted]

  2026-07-25

• Dr. Fattal demonstrates a genuine interest in my care, which makes me feel extremely comfortable and confident having him as my healthcare provider.

  2026-07-27

• He was easy to talk to and made me feel very comfortable

  2026-07-22

• The appt with the Dr lasted under 5 minutes. I know my issue was not very interesting but I didn't feel enough questions were asked or that solutions were addressed.

  2026-07-22

• I did see an audiologist, she was excellent as always. Professional and explained all tests before they were performed.

  2026-07-20

• Dr. Fattal is knowledgeable. His understanding of my medical complaints and explanation of it made sense. He likes to get to the point of what the patient is talking about which can feel rushed and intimidating. I appreciated his exasperation at some of the medical decisions made by other medical providers; it would have been helpful to have him slow down and summarize his perspective so that the patient feels seen.

  2026-07-20

• Exceptional clinician. Courteous and efficient

  2026-07-18

• Very professional

  2026-07-15

• Neither the nurse nor the doctor were interested in my concerns about Covid. At [redacted], I have to be careful. This issue interfered with my interaction with the doctor. I think we got beyond it, but am not sure. He addressed various issues but did not provide any insight into the two swollen glands at the carotid.

  2026-07-17

• Good job

  2026-07-17

• Appointment felt rushed. I spent perhaps five minutes with the physician. He never introduced himself. He barely made eye contact. He looked at the computer. When I asked he showed me 2 graphs documenting my hearing loss. He then read the notes from my last visit, got up and escorted me to make an appt for a hearing aid service appt. He never even asked if I had any questions.

  2026-07-15

• I was extremely anxious about this appt and about the symptoms precipitating it. Dr. F was SO kind, non judgmental and really put my mind at ease. AS a matter a fact, since my appt I have told at least 5 people about him and how great my experience was.

  2026-07-11

• Excellent doctor, simple as that.

  2026-07-12

• It was a good experience. The dr was knowledgeable and efficient. I was pleased.

  2026-07-07

  2026-06-04

• The visit was fine, it was just over so fast.

  2026-06-01

• He was very abrupt and dismissive. His exam consisted of jabbing me in my temporomandibular joint and telling me it's not my ear it's my jaw, I must clench it and I need a bite guard, go see the dentist. I was so flustered and taken back that I completely forgot to mention the other reasons I was there. [redacted] The 'exam' was rushed and incomplete, as if I were wasting his time.

• The appointment was informative and the dr understood the problems very well.

  2026-05-18

• All good!

  2026-05-15

  2026-05-12

• Found nothing to complain about. He was kind, friendly and very experienced in his field. Visit was quick and issue was corrected completely. Like this provider.

  2026-05-12

• Dr. Fattal was very thorough and very complete in taking care of my earwax problem. He also seemed very much in a hurry and I did have to ask him questions rather than having him explain what it was that he was doing. He did explain when I asked him, but I felt as though he was rushed. He did a great job though and I would certainly go to him again.

  2026-05-08

• He knew what he was talking about and gave me the advice I needed

  2026-04-29

• I felt like the appointment was quick, like it wasn't thorough. I left with more questions then I came with and still don't seem to have a solution to the issue I'm having. He did say I need physical therapy so I guess that's the only answer I got.

  2026-04-27

• This was the best experience I have ever had with a Medical provider.

  2026-04-26

• Dr Fattal explained everything very well with options. He was too quick, though. I left there with with a few unanswered questions. He didn't ask me many if any questions. Now I have to schedule another appointment to have them answered. I was never asked if I had any pain and I do. That's why I have to schedule another appointment.

  2026-04-29

• Dr. Fattal is a superb clinician but he clearly is far too busy. I felt the visit was very rushed, even though he listened closely and addressed the medical issues I was having. When he checked my throat for possible evidence of gastric reflux, he acknowledged the short procedure would be uncomfortable but it felt like Dr. Fattal was a bit insensitive to HOW uncomfortable it was for me as a patient.

  2026-02-22

  2026-02-16

  2026-01-19

• I felt rushed. Doctor was abrupt. I told him I was treated for ear infection by primary care doctor a month ago, and he became annoyed with me because I didn't follow up with her. I explained that I had ongoing issues with my ear and I wanted to see a specialist. Appointment was less than five minutes. Stressful experience.

• The doctor was prompt and professional we felt he was in a hurry and rushed the appointment felt like it was not worth going as he just noted the internal nose that had been cauterized was healing and there was nothing more to do. My father has had 3 severe nosebleeds and we were hopeful that there was something more to do to prevent further bleeds in the future. The doctor suggested Allegra which we are taking now. Thank you

  2026-01-11

  2026-01-03

• I felt very confident that Dr. Fattal knew what he was doing...it's just that he was so fast doing it my [redacted] year old brain couldn't process it. Fortunately, I had my daughter with me and she was able to explain what I missed. That being said, I definitely would see him again for any ENT problems. He was kind, knowledgeable and I believe, a very good doctor!

  2025-12-29

• Dr Fattal is as great! He removed the wax from both my ears. My right ear was a little more challenging because the wax was a little deep. He got it all out.

  2025-12-22

• This procedure required implements for earwax removal that were not pleasant. Checking in with the patient a bit on their comfort level would be appreciated.

  2025-12-21

• He's knowledgable about his field if expertese

  2025-12-16

• I was disappointed that Dr. Fattal Never acknowledged who I was [redacted]. I felt he had no understanding of who I am. He never asked if I was having any hearing issues.

  2025-12-16

• caring and attentive

  2025-12-12

• Dr. Fattal, specifically was a fast talker who really didn't have anything helpful to say regarding my issues - [redacted] In general, I felt his bedside manner to be flip & a bit condescending. I left this appt feeling like "what just happened"? He ushered me out with a card to see an allergist.

  2025-12-11

• I walked away with a potential solution to my symptom.

  2025-12-11

  2025-12-11

• Dr. Fattal was professional and demonstrated a high level of care for me during the examination.

  2025-12-11

• Dr Fattal saved my hearing in one ear that completely disappeared overnight. He quickly prescribed a steroid and within 2 days I began to regain hearing in that ear. Had he not acted on this so quickly, my hearing loss would have been permanent. I am very grateful for his expertise!

  2025-12-11

• Top quality care

  2025-12-08

• I thought the doctor and the audiologist were great and thorough. Understanding the provider was a bit difficult because he was a fast speaker and wore a mask (understandably). But, as someone with hearing issues, I rely on lip reading to compliment what I hear, especially with fast speakers. This was a bit difficult to deal with when I came in for hearing issues.

  2025-12-03

• top rate. Very satisfied with doctor

  2025-12-02

• This doctor was courteous, professional, and personable. I have already recommended him to a friend.

  2025-11-20

• Great experience with Dr. Fattal. He listened and explained things well.

  2025-11-19

• I felt Dr. Fattal is a very, very capable doctor. I went to see him to consult about a potential thyroid surgery. I ended up choosing a different doctor, but not because of any downside of Dr. Fattal, except for the fact that his training is more as a generalist and the person that I selected has exclusively focused on the type of surgery that I need, not one among many types of surgery. So that was my reason for making my choice. And I would recommend Dr. Fattal. He seems very, very capable.

  2025-11-20

  2025-11-13

• Knew my diagnosis exactly

  2025-11-11

• I felt like he I was in a Marathon. He flew in, did a very fast check of my records and a few quick questions and quickly put a scope in my nose and throat. I had to ask him to repeat what he said about my throat. He said it so fast, I couldn't understand. It was the quickest appointment I have had with a practitioner. It seems that he was in and out of the room in 3 minutes flat! I did not feel cared for at all. He may be a very good doctor but he did not leave any room or time for questions. It seemed that he would not want to allow the time.

  2025-11-09

• I was disappointed that this provider did not even look at my X-rays. He dismissed them as having been unnecessary without even seeing them.

  2025-11-09

• Dr. Fattal was very personable and made me feel comfortable during a visit that was scary for me. He saw me right away (I didn't even sit down in the waiting room) and explained everything I needed to know about next steps for my care. I'm very happy to have been able to get an appointment with him and have him on my care team.

• I believe I had a good appointment with this doctor although I feel as if he seemed to rush through and seemed the need to rush. It did go well.
