Patient Testimonial

I am very blessed to have found this doctor.

by I.C

Dr. Arrieta is not only excellent at his job but he is also very kind, caring and personable. After visiting other ENTs and not receiving correct diagnosis, he was able to find the problem on the first visit. He was also extremely helpful with a second opinion for a thyroid nodule and referred me to a wonderful surgeon. Excellent excellent doctor, he is very busy but well worth the wait. I have no words to express my gratitude.

Allergy

Allergies are the immune system’s abnormal response to a foreign substance around you.
