She's great & so knowledgeable!

We've been seeing Dr. Zaretsky for the past 2 years since our son was 10.5 months old & she's GREAT! She really knows what she's talking about & is so knowledgeable. She put our sons tubes in & just took them out & I felt very comfortable with her doing the procedure & felt our son was/is good hands.

Dr. Zaretsky is THE BEST!

We've been seeing Dr. Zaretsky since our son was 10 months old (he just turned 3) & she's the best. She put our sons tubes in & removed them as well & saw him every 3 months to check on them. She is direct, resourceful, helpful, & very knowledgeable.

She actually knows what she’s talking about

I don’t do reviews, they aren’t my thing, but Dr. Z definitely deserves it. I’m a huge skeptic of doctors, most of them are clueless, but Dr. Z went above and beyond. She explained how every step of the Turbinate Reduction procedure would work, and what she said is exactly what happened. Normal, down to earth woman who’s awesome at her job!

Terrific professional

Dr. Zaretsky was professional and knowledgeable. I have been experiencing sinus pressure for over 5 years now, it makes me sleepy, uncomfortable and many times has lead to sinus infections. I was hesitant to have a procedure done as all may be, but after a few visits with Dr. Zaretsky I felt comfortable and knew that this was the right choice for me. I am so grateful to her. I can now experience the least amount of sinus pressure I have in over 5 years as well as not need to constantly utilize nasal sprays to reduce the chance of sinus infections. Thank you
