Szubin Lisa, MD

To update: I don’t know if it was coincident to my prior Unilocal review but I received a voicemail on 2÷1÷2016 from someone from Dr. Szubin’s office (not the doctor) who left a message with instructions that my scan had been approved and I should call a third party to schedule the appointment (there appear to be missed calls on my cell from the same number a day or two prior but no message was left those times). In the voicemail there was no mention of my prior issues regarding service problems, in fact my name wasn’t mentioned at all in the message, it just said this is so and so from Dr. Szubin’s office, you have to do xyz in order to get your scan done… I called the office back and explained I would not be using their practice anymore, to which the person on the line politely said okay. Added a star to the previous review because someone actually finally called back with info about getting the scan, can’t give more stars because the prior issues weren’t addressed and the customer service remained detached/​uninterested.

I haven’t been able to breathe normally for years and was referred to Dr. Szubin. She was so professional and knowledgeable from the start. We tried several non surgical options to correct my problem but nothing helped. I opted to have surgery and couldn’t be happier with my decision. My breathing is perfect now and Dr. Szubin was always helpful and informative during the recovery. Her office staff is wonderful and extremely flexible. I would highly refer her and her team to anyone!

I dont normally write reviews but I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Szubin that I feel compelled to let everyone know.
Basically, I have had a deviated septum my entire life. This means I could never fully blow my nose, I was always congested, I got nose bleeds on the regular and every time I got a cold I was done for. Thankfully, I was referred to Dr. Szubin by a family friend.
Here is the quick run down:
I made an appointment and got it exactly when was convenient for me. I walked in and was greeted by a very friendly and helpful lady at the front desk. The office was newly renovated, very clean and crisp, really made me feel good. I waited for about 6 minutes (all new magazines at the waiting area). Dr. Szubin could not possibly have been nicer. She calmly explained to me what my condition was and simply informed me what my options were. Dr. Szubin was extremely professional and knowledgeable, she answered each of my questions head on (even those about the cost which most doctors avoid). I decided to go ahead with the surgery (my decision with absolutely no pressure from Dr. Szubin). I had the procedure done on a thursday morning and I was back to work ready to go the following Monday. No one at my office had any idea that I got the procedure done — zero outside facial changes.
Today, I feel great and I can actually BREATHE properly out of my nose. This was a big deal for me and I am so happy I chose Dr. Szubin, she was really incredible.

I have had trouble breathing through my nose for years, and my general doctors have never been able to diagnose my nose issues until dr. Jeremy Stoepker (also 5 star doctor) referred me to Dr. Szubin. She was able to quickly diagnose my issue (deviated septum) and give me different options to treat the issue.
Today I returned home after my septoplasty to fix my nose. I feel no pain and in the brief time before the swelling I could breathe clearly through my nose. Dr. Szubin even called me personally after I arrived home to check how I was doing and give me further instructions and answer any questions I had.

I’ve got a complicated medical history, and she definitely made time to sort through my issues. I never felt rushed. She was thorough and I would definitely go back again. I only hesitate to give her 5 stars because I’ve had only 1 set of interactions with her.

Sore throat/​earache got you down, or just looking for an excuse to blow off work? Either way Dr. Szubin has got you covered.
Dr. Szubin is an amazing nose, ears and throat specialist. I went to Dr. Szubin a long time ago for a really nasty strep infection that put me in the hospital for four days. Dr. Szubin took excellent care of me, she even popped my nasty abscess and sucked all the pus out of my throat. How cool is that?
When not saving lives Dr. Szubin also takes the time to tell you, ‘you really don’t have mono/​strep/​encephalitis/​rheumatic fever…’ or whatever other sickness you may have found on wikipedia that kind of sounds like your basic common cold.
Thanks Dr. Szubin! Now I can rest easy. I’m going to spend the rest of my sick day malingering and writing Unilocal reviews!
