Robert A Mickel, MD PHD

I’ve seen both Dr. Mickel and Emily Wachs. Both are excellent.

I highly recommend Dr. Mickel for ENT issues. He was very professional, explaining the procedures he was about to perform and answering all of my questions. He also took the time to make sure I was comfortable, and was friendly and engaging in conversation. Of course, he also completely resolved the issue I had gone to see him for. No complaints here!

Not sure what happened in the previous reviews but I was highly satisfied with my visit with Dr Mickel. I did have a little bit of a wait time prior to being escorted into an exam room, but since I brought a book it wasn’t that big of a deal.
Dr Mickel’s assistant Susan was very nice, asking questions to get a thorough assessment of why I had made the appointment.
Dr Mickel was very nice, professional and efficient. He did a comprehensive exam, reviewed possible culprits and gave me an initial solution to my problem, which was inexpensive and easy to follow. Hopefully his solution actually solves my problem, won’t know for another week :)

Dr. Mickel is an awesome surgeon — he did my daughter’s tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy flawlessly. He had excellent bedside manner and made my daughter feel immediately at ease. He explained the procedure and options to my husband and I very clearly. We are very happy with Dr. Mickel.

I’ve taken my daughter to see him for a chronic bloody nose. He always states that she must be in his office within 24 hrs of each occurrence. His staff, however, won’t accommodate her and when I ask to have him call me, he doesn’t return the call. To the extent his front office is an extension of his capabilities, it’s unacceptable.

I found Dr. Mickel to be condescending and difficult. SImilar to the other patient’s 1-​star review, he told me that there were no answers for my son’s sinus condition, talked down to me about his observations regarding his adenoids and tonsils, and basically indicated the only option was steroid nasal sprays for life. I don’t know if the presence of an observing medical student led to the lengthy lecture I received (which didn’t do anything but put me on the defensive), regardless of the fact that other qualified medical professionals have led me to other possible solutions. I’d say that Dr. Mickel is probably quite experienced but is lacking in bedside manner and openness to non-​pharmaceutical solutions.

Dr. Mickel is a superb ENT. He listened attentively as I described my concerns; answered each with clear explanations and descriptions of options. He was excellent at offering the least invasive interventions. And on top of his excellent clinical skills and high intelligence, he also has a pleasant bedside manner and good humor!

Dr. Mickel recommend that I get my tonsils taken out to help my sleep apnea and the whole surgery when down without any issues. Dr. Mickel was very professional as well, explaining everything about the surgery before it happened and checked up on me in the hospital.
