Unbelievable this dr. My story prior to seeing dr shohet: For 8 months I had an ear issue in one ear &hopping from one specialist to the next searching for a thread of knowledge behind my ear issue and all I got were surface answers and allot of " I don't know what that is " to "you need surgery ". Being on the hunt I learned about dr shohets reputation -and I went. Resolved my issue in one visit and my temporary hearing discounted in one ear -is gone. Dr shohet is an expert. He never said " I don't know". The feeling of having my ear issue resolved was unexpected and I feel % now.
