Dr. Kauffman is top notch- takes whatever time needed to answer any questions, very clear and concise, explaining things in layman's terms. Upbeat & positive without sugar coating, he presents treatment options with his opinion while very clearly leaving any decision up to the patient. The office is also responsive and very friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Kauffman for any ENT need.

Dr Kauffman is the BEST, he actually listens to what you're saying and works to find the reason! He was my last straw I was told by so many they couldn't find a reason for my symptoms. Turns out I had a deviated septum that apparently just appeared (eye roll) Dr Kauffman not only found what others couldn't he fixed it and now I'm so much better. Just the fact that he listens, makes eye contact, and truly cares about his patience he is just an amazing doctor.

Dr. Kauffman is fantastic. Their practice is well managed so there is not needless forms each visit and the wait times are short. Dr. Kauffman's personal involvement and level of care far exceeds that of other physician that I see. Most of all he saved my life with an early diagnosis if throat cance.

Dr. Singham saw me a few weeks ago b/c Dr. Kauffman wasn't available. I am ALWAYS well taken care of at this office and my sinus infection was diagnosed and I was given antibiotics. I also had a CT scan yesterday 11/11 to make sure there weren't any polops in my left sinus passage. All clear.

Had painful headaches occurring with coughing or sneezing. Dr. Kauffman scoped my nasal passages and, although my turbinates were normal, there was some post surgical swelling of my right ethmoid sinus which was causing back pressure when sneezing. ( I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express ) This entire staff makes you VERY comfortable and, coupled with their professional knowledge, let's just say 5 stars are not enough !

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this practice and Dr. Kauffman. I am one who researches doctors VERY thoroughly before considering to see them because I have had some quite traumatic experiences in the past, as well as doctors who have not bothered to care. That is NOT the case with NW ENT, Dr. Kauffman, and his entire team. They go above and beyond to ensure you are comfortable with everything that goes on, they listen incredibly well, I am never rushed, my questions are always answered, and my issues are diagnosed, treated, and there is a plan of action on how to not have my issues come back. That is something I have never had a doctor put in place before-a plan to not have to seek their care after issues are resolved. They have been absolutely amazing and I am incredibly grateful to have found them!

Dr. Kauffman is outstanding! I’ve been to many doctors and gotten no relieve. He actually listened to what I had to say instead of coming in with a predetermined plan. He correctly diagnosed me and my reoccurring pain from the past 5 years is gone. So thankful!

I would highly recommend Dr. Kauffman to anyone looking for ENT related needs. He has an excellent bedside manner, and the medical results are a testament to his medical expertise. I had what seemed an unusual issue that 3 other doctors overlooked. After a year of medical advice, and treatment from other doctors, I finally found Dr. Kauffman. This man nailed it where others fell short. Thanks Doc!

I was very happy with the staff's politeness and attention to Customer Service on the phone and with scheduling an appointment and also definitely in person. I watched the video of Dr Ryan Kauffman before going in to see him and I knew then that he would be a great person and Doctor. When I it was my turn, Dr Kauffman made me feel very comfortable talking with him and he diagnosed me knowing immediately with what the problem was. Very curteous and friendly and knowledgable.

Dr. Kauffman was so kind, reassuring, and confident that he could fix my problem! He knew just what I was dealing with, gave me a solution that I could do on my own if the problem ever comes back so I don't need to come into the office again and again, and asked me to call if I don't feel 100% back to normal with the solution he provided.

He is honestly hands-down the best doctor I’ve ever dealt with! I am not joking when I say I would drive up as of two hours to deal with him before I would allow anybody else to touch my ears. Not only is he awesome at what he does his ability to put you at ease and his customer experience skills are unmatched from any doctor I’ve ever dealt with. If he ever gets tired of looking at peoples ears I have a job waiting for him in the construction equipment world :-)

Have taken my daughter to 3 other ENT doctors and they’ve never given a sufficient answer as to why she has pain and pressure but no infection. Dr. Kauffman talked to her for a bit, diagnosed her and sent in prescriptions along with giving us a plan for preventing it from occurring in the future. Worth the 45 min drive to the Canton office.

Stellar... I have been in to see Dr. Kauffman several times for vestibular disorder including VNG testing and having a pressure equalizing tube placed in my ear. I can't imagine having a better experience. Precisely what doctor visits should be like! In fact, I saw someone else say that in a review on the Piedmont website and that's why I selected Dr. Kauffman. He's very friendly, down to earth, and treats you like a peer. An overall nice guy who seems to be on top of his game. I especially like the staff at his Canton clinic. Definitely recommend.

Everyone at the Canton office, from the front office staff to the nurses to the audiologist, was pleasant, courteous and helpful. Most of all, Dr. Kauffman was simply wonderful. He answered all of my questions in detail, and despite agreeing with my previous diagnosis of Méniére's disease, he ordered an MRI to rule out anything more serious (as I've had multiple concussions over the last several years). He thoroughly discussed all of the options for treating the hearing loss I've incurred from Méniére's disease. My follow-up appointment was originally scheduled for late June, but today I began having severe tinnitus and hearing loss in both ears (only one ear was affected previously). I called their office - at 2:00 p.m. on a Friday - and they were able to get me in first thing Monday morning, with both the audiologist and Dr. Kauffman. I am disabled with multiple, severe illnesses so I deal with numerous physicians and their office staff, so I know how rare it is to find an exceptional doctor who also has excellent staff. Everyone I've dealt with at this office shows that they care about their patients.
