I also want to highlight how meaningful it is to have someone on staff who speaks Spanish. That level of accessibility and comfort truly makes a difference and shows how much you care about your patients. Thank you for your kindness, professionalism, and the way you go above and beyond every single time. I appreciate you more than you know.

I went to the walk in clinic— they saw me within 10 minutes and with a thorough review of my history and symptoms. Suggestions were made for further investigation and 2 referrals to other doctors relating to additional possible sources for my persistent cough and sinus headaches. I was very pleasantly surprised at the thoroughness, competence and courtesy of ENT Associates staff and treatment.

My wife has received excellent care for years at this practice from Dr. Liesl Nottingham and staff. Dr. Nottingham is knowlegeable and a good communicator. She takes the time to listen to all our concerns and questions, and gives clear answers. She and the staff are also prompt at following up with prescriptions and dealing with insurance. We highly recommend this practice.

_________________________________________________

This is an excellent ENT practice. Dr Bianchi is fantastic and very personable. I feel completely confident in the care I receive in this practice. All of the staff is also welcoming. I've not had to wait to be taken to the back when it's my time for my appointment. If you need an ear nose and throat physician, I highly recommend this group.

_________________________________________________

Everyone here is so caring and friendly. I took my 5 year old here for his breathing problems and Dr.Bianchi has been so helpful and informative. The front desk staff and even the surgery coordinators are all very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an appointment here!

Dr. Patel was compassionate and caring who was patient and listened to patient's many concerns and addressed them carefully; she was thorough and knowledgeable. She had excellent bed side manner and I am very happy to have her as my ENT and would highly recommend her.

_________________________________________________

We've been going to Dr. Bianchi since his practice basically began. He's one of the very best doctors; compassionate, caring thorough, always takes enough time with us. He's definitely one of the top doctors we've been to. High praise.

Dr. Hosai Todd-Hesham is a very good doctor. She is extremely efficient, fantastic bedside manners, and most importantly, listens to what you are asking about and answers "all" of your questions. She is one of my favorite doctors. The staff, while they can get busy on occasions, always treat me with respect and professional ism, and always have a smile to offer. Appointments are easy, very little hold time on the phone, and Dr. Hesham (always) replies in a very timely manner when a question is asked on the patient portal. She performed my sleep apnea surgery and I was very pleased with the results. If another doctor's office isn't responding to my inquiries for appointments quickly enough, she will take charge to get things resolved. I sincerely recommend this practice to anyone with an ear-nose-throat issue of any kind. I would give them more stars if they were available, but since there are only '5' , I'm giving them a '10'!

_________________________________________________

This entire practice is excellent – the main practice, walk-in clinic, and the associated groups that handle hearing, allergy, and sleep testing. My husband and I have been going to Dr. Nottingham for years and she has been one of the most knowledgeable, skilled, and personable specialist physicians I've known.

_________________________________________________

Everyone I encountered with from making the appointment, checking in to checking out was super professional, attentive, courteous, and pleasant. Dr. Hosa Todd-Hesham was very thorough, and addressed all my issues

_________________________________________________

I was very pleased with this experience. It was relatively easy to get on Dr. Nottingham’s schedule and she was great! Very patient and thorough. Addressed all of my concerns. I had no wait time once I arrived. My interaction with the entire staff was what I would hope to have in a professional setting, but so often do not these days.

_________________________________________________

Excellent practice. We've been going there for at least 25 years and the have received first-rate care. They are very busy and it frequently takes a while to get an appointment. Highly recommended.

I’m from another state and was visiting for a couple weeks when I needed to see an ENT. I was so very lucky to find this practice! The folks at the walk-in clinic were patient and attentive. There was only a minimal wait and they provided clear instructions for how and when to return if the issue didn’t resolve itself with the least invasive treatment. As it happened, I did need to return a week later. At that time, evaluation, diagnosis and treatment were handled within 2 hours. I highly recommend Maryland ENT Associates.

_________________________________________________

Dr. David Bianchi is fantastic! I felt heard and respected from the moment I walked in.They took the time to explain my condition in detail, answered all my questions, and made me feel at ease.The staff was also incredibly kind and efficient.Highly recommend for anyone seeking compassionate and competent care!"

I was in need of ENT services fairly soon, and all of the providers that I contacted were booked out for at least one month. I came across Maryland ENT Associates during a Google search. Read Google reviews and checked out their website. Noticed that they have walk-in services and decided to give it a try one day after work. I had a great experience. Everyone was very nice and professional. The wait wasn't very long for the time I arrived. This walk-in service was right on time and worked out well for me. Please keep this option going forward. You are fulfilling a need for those who may need certain ENT services quickly, when other providers are booked. I would definitely visit this establishment again when in need.

_________________________________________________

If you want to be treated with respect and kindness and expertise,this is the office you need to go to. I was very impressed with everyone and felt that they really know how to focus on the patient and answered all of my questions. It’s not often that you leave a doctors office feeling that they really care about you.

_________________________________________________

Dr Andy Boston and staff at MD ENT were outstanding. Dr Boston listens carefully and explains everything. He’s clearly competent and caring. Excellent experience.

_________________________________________________

Dr. Todd-Hesham really knows how to communicate with patients. She is efficient, clear, and friendly, really exemplary. All the staff were friendly and efficient too.

_________________________________________________

I saw Dr. Boston and thought he was terrific: good bedside manner, knowledgeable, and very open to questions/discussions. But staff was also polite and efficient. I'd recommend this practice highly.

_________________________________________________

I have been going to them for a number of years, and have been very happy with the services I receive, including being offered options when applicable, professional advice, and overall a feeling they are looking after not only my health, but me as a person.

We had such a wonderful experience at Maryland ENT Associates in Silver Spring. My daughter was having ear pain, and after urgent care couldn’t really tell us what was going on, they suggested we see an ENT. We went to the walk-in clinic here, and as soon as we walked in, I realized it was the same place I had taken my sister a few months ago to have her hearing aid flushed – and where my mom had been seen as well. Both of them loved it, and now I see exactly why. Everyone we met – from the front desk staff to the nurses to the doctor – was so kind, welcoming, and thorough. The doctor took his time examining my daughter and explaining what might be causing her pain, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was such a relief to know her ears were healthy and to have a clear understanding of what was going on. The whole atmosphere there is calm and caring, and you really feel like they want the best for their patients. Overall, it was just an amazing visit, and I’m so grateful for the care we received. Now, they officially have three generations of our family as happy patients!

I highly recommend Dr. Anju Patel, a highly trained and knowledgeable physician in the field of ENT (ear, nose, and throat) disorders. From the very first visit, you will feel safe and confident in her expert advice and care. She listens attentively, explains everything clearly, and truly works with you to find the best solutions for your concerns. I felt genuinely guided with professionalism and kindness throughout my experience, and I’m very glad I chose Dr. Patel’s clinic. Her wonderful team (Cecilia), also deserves special mention—they make you feel warmly welcomed and supported during the entire visit. It’s a place where professionalism meets compassion, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone in need of quality ENT care.

_________________________________________________

I took my daughter to the walk-in clinic to be seen for an issue that the ER wasn’t able to help with. I wasn’t expecting much from a walk-in clinic, but I was very surprised and impressed with the entire visit. The staff was warm, friendly and competent. Lack of wait time was awesome, especially considering they took us during the clinic closing time. The PA and medical assistant were thorough, knowledgeable and super kind. Most of my past experiences with urgent care type providers has not been good at all, so this was a refreshing change.

_________________________________________________

I have been a patient at Maryland ENT for a series of months. The busy practice has a well-defined series of medical personnel that move you through the office visit: from the front desk, to medical assistant, the physician's assistant and then the doctor, who was ready and able to give me her full attention. I was fortunate to see Dr. Hosai Todd-Hesham for every visit. This continuity in care was remarkable from a scheduling perspective. It increased my confidence in the treatment plan and I believe contributed to a successful recovery for me. I commend the entire medical staff of Maryland ENT. They work as a knowledge ensemble to provide wrap-around care for the patient.

_________________________________________________

Maryland ENT Associates has done excellent work for me and I feel they truly have my health interests at heart. I work with Dr Todd-Hesham and she’s been thorough, compassionate and friendly. Her diagnoses and treatment have improved my health in general and helped me overcome some serious challenges I faced. The office staff has been a pleasure to work with and I expect to be with this practice for a long time.

_________________________________________________

Dr. Patel is compassionate, takes the time to explain and treat patients with respect. The office staff are friendly and willing to help you. I am lucky to have them as part of my medical care team. I am going through some work challenges so their kindness is welcome.

_________________________________________________

The level of care I received from Maryland ENT Associates was top notch. From the time I scheduled my visit to the time I received care from Dr. Todd-Hosham, and even the follow-up referral for voice therapy, was friendly, courteous, professional, knowledgeable, I was left with no doubts I was being taken care of by the best team. I am extremely grateful I was referred to Dr. Todd-Hasham. If I ever get the chance to do so, I would highly recommend Dr. Todd-Hasham and Maryland ENT Associates.

So glad I found this ENT medical practice! I've been coming here for years now to see Dr. Nottingham and every visit has been great. She always knows exactly how to treat my medical issues and works with me through any anxiety I have about some procedures. I recently had to see Dr. Bianchi for a sick visit and was nervous to see a different doctor. But what a pleasant surprise he was -- very friendly, knowledgeable, and quite funny as well! He gave me a prescription, some additional steps to follow, and I am feeling so much better now less then 48 hours later. The medical assistant was also fantastic, making sure all of my questions were answered and showing great kindness. Thankful for the continued amazing medical care!
