Mushtaq Ednan MD Facs

Love dr. Dreyfus! I never have to wait long, and I feel all my questions are answered. I have never had that «rushed» feeling you can get at some practices. I’ve been coming here for about 8 years, and have never had a single complaint.

I have been seeing Dr. Mushtaq for a few years now. My cousin had deviated septum surgery he performed 10yrs ago that went very smoothly. I had my surgery done by him Oct 2012– went very well. I wouldnt have changed a thing between the way he prepped me, educated me, very thorough & knowledgeable.
He is very educated & up to date but even being very high energy and extremely busy, he gives you ALL the time you need. Never makes you feel silly and has so much care & passion for his patients. Only drawback is sometimes the wait to see him gets out of hand but overall– He is worth the wait! He is now helping me with my allergy symptoms and i couldnt feel more at peace.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Mushtaq for probably more than 10 years after my sinus surgery and my ENT doctor had retired he was new to the practice then and then went out on his own and I followed him because I liked him so much. I’ve found him to be a very competant and caring doctor who really knows his field. He will take time to listen to you and then recommend a course of action that will help you. I’ve even discussed alternative therapies with him and he was one of the first doctors many years ago who didn’t «poo poo» my ideas out of hand and will discuss them candidly with you. I have never had a hugely long wait to see him and have in the past and have now started back with allergy shots for which I don’t wait long either. The staff is very nice and caring — I especially love his nurse Jean who does the allergy testing. The rest of the staff is very good too and are also responsive and caring. I will say a couple of years ago, it was very hard to get in to see him and he did have other staff then that doesn’t seem to be there now. The location is pretty good too in McLean beside the post office on Elm Street. I can’t say enough about how good he is — I would highly recommend him.

Everything from initial examinations through surgery went exceptionally smoothly. The staff was welcoming and receptive to questions and, as was Dr. Mushtaq, sympathetic and caring while being professional and encouraging. My surgery was well managed, and when there was a complication, and I had to make an emergency call and visit, the receptionist was waiting for me, the nurses efficient and caring, the doctor immediately taking care of me. Post-​op visits have also been handled with compassion and efficiency. Instructions were given carefully orally and reinforced with clear written instruction as well.
I have never had any kind of long wait, but I expect a wait with a doctor and personally never object if, once I am with the doctor, I get his or her full attention. Dr Mushtaq does not make me feel he is rushing through my issues to get to the next patient, but takes the time I need.
I certainly would not hesitate to send family and friends to this office.

I have not had any problems with scheduling and have always been seen in a timely mannor for both shots and appointments. I think in this world sometimes schedules are not able to be adheared to up to the minute (or even 15 –20 minutes — which is actually the average wait time in a doctors office in Northern VA). He was late for my surgery if I recall, but give me a break… I want him to take his time during surgery and my whole day is dedicated to that surgery so what does it matter if the doctor is 30 minutes late or even an hour really… as long as the hospital works with the timing it doesn’t impact me at all really.
My surgery has been sucessful and my care was excellent prior to the procedure, during, and post operatively.
He is a good doctor, who is very thorough, and is educated in all aspects of ENT. He also understands how the ENT systems related to other aspects of overall health and he understands when to refer out to other related specialties. These are the the most important aspects of a healthcare professional in my opinion.

Dr Mushtaq is a great guy who clearly knows what he’s doing. He’s personable and explains things well. He doesn’t push you into treatments or procedures; just let’s you decide. His staff is so great; all very nice and helpful. My only complaint is how over booked he is. He’s ALWAYS at least 45 minutes late for appointments. I was numbed up before seeing him on one visit and waited so long the numbness wore off! He was also running late when he performed my surgery — and that wasn’t in the office so I think it can’t be blamed on staff. to put it in perspective — I’m writing this as I continue to wait for him. My appointment was at 8:45 and it’s 9:30.

I was supposed to be a new patient.
I walked in ten minutes early to a nearly-​empty waiting room. Yay! Filled out the paperwork. Sat and sat in the (HOLY FREEZING COLD) waiting room for over 40 minutes. Read two magazines. People came in. Same people left. My boyfriend is a patient here and he had an appointment around the same time. He went in and came out and asked the receptionist which examination room I was in. I waved and said, the waiting room one.
When I went up to the front desk to see what was going on, the receptionist still had flotsam of my file, photocopies of my insurance, driver’s license, bloodwork results, laying around her desk (so I wasn’t even in the queue) and sighed at me that they had «so many shots today» as if I was supposed to understand that shot patients took precedence.
Clearly, new patients are an inconvenience.
So, anyway, if you want to kill some time reading Travel and Leisure, spend some QT with Brickbreaker on your Blackberry, AND know you’re being a pain in someone’s rear, here’s the place to go. I didn’t. So I left.

No, I didn’t see Dr. Mushtaq for a plastic surgery. I had some problems with my septum and, as a result, allergies.
Everything went well as planned. Dr. Mushtaq’s office professionally and carefully handled everything: appointments, pre-​operative instructions, surgery itself, follow-​up care, more appointments and billing. The pricing was straightforward as far as how much I was expected to pay with my insurance coverage. My insurance company paid the office accordingly without any problem or getting me involved.
(On a side note: If you’ve ever had a part in paying either the insurance company or a doctor’s office more than you’re supposed to, you know something’s not legit but fishy. It’s then usually a lot of hassle and bad news.)
The website offers additional information about ENT-​related medical conditions. It’s pretty informative. I got out even more from his consultations and medical staff team.
While I was at it, I could have gone with a rhino-​pasty, but I was happy with what I have and am naturally.
The office is located next to the Post Office off Elm Street. Plenty of parking in the back of the building. Dr. Mustash and his surgery team performed my surgery at a local hospital.
