Dr. Scangas was very helpful. I met him for the first time the day before my surgery. He double booked so that I could get in. I saw him timely. He provided all information and I would highly recommend seeing him to anyone that needed anything ENT related.

Dr Scangas listened to me explain my problem and he went on to explain to me the different things that could be causing the problem. He checked inside my nostrils and explained what he was looking for and what he found, then went on to discuss what we should do to in an attempt to correct my problem. We also discussed what the next steps would be should the first step is ineffective. Overall, I was very satisfied with my visit with him.

Superb experience with Dr. Scangas. His staff is excellent. He is a thoughtful, kind and communicative provider. He answered all of my questions, addressed my concerns, and laid out a plan to give me an opportunity to resolve non-surgically if possible. I feel confident that, should I need to move forward with surgery, I will receive excellent care.

I had not met Dr. Scangas before my appointment with him this past Monday. He was personable and professional. He had studied the CT scan and xrays that were done in January and was able to clarify the results for my benefit. It was, however, his precision and skill, when examining both nasal cavities, that is simply without equal. This was the first pain-free nasal procedure in decades - having had a fractured nose at age 10. I was and am relieved to know that even a "swab" can be painless, if one is in the right hands. Perhaps Dr. Scangas can provide on-line tutorials for others in the medical field.

The doctor was absolutely fine. It was a short appointment. He did not necessarily do a great job explaining things in terms that a non-medical savvy person could understand. I asked him to provide additional explanations and he did, but they were not a lot clearer. Very nice and certainly seemed competent.

It was a total pleasure to visit again ( last visit [redacted] 2022) with Dr. who was once again well informed of my medical history. I appreciate very much his tutorial about (1) the findings of the laryngeal endoscopic imaging he performed during our current visit; and (2) the implications for the inner ear discomfort that I have had since [redacted] 2025. The prescribed nasal spray has so far been successful in eliminating all irritation.
