Joshua Sckolnick's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Sckolnick is exceptional and is a true professional that knows his stuff. Going into the appointment I was super nervous about my ear however his presence is so comforting and he has great energy! He is a complete genius. I've been to other ENT professionals and they weren't able to tell me what was going on with my ear. However Dr. Sckolnick was able to let me know after a few minutes and also calmed my nerves and let me know that it was not anything serious. For months I had so much anxiety about my ear, but after talking to him and having him check on my ears, I felt i was at peace and I was healed. THANK YOU Dr.Sckolnick, you are the real MVP of all ENTs!!!!!!

I was hospitalized with an extremely painful MRSA infection in my nose. He was so kind and gentle and explained everything to me so i understood.

Dr.Sckolnick is both a wonderful listener and explains things so even a layman such as myself can understand. Highly recommend Dr.Sckolnick !!!!!!

Came here with water in my ear and thankfully, Dr. Sckolnick was able to get it all out. He's super friendly and made coming in worth it. He also checked both ears when I only had water in one and was able to remove some cotton remnants from using Q-tips.

I am a physician with 32 years of experience and a former Chief of Professional Staff at Mills-Peninsula Health Services. Dr. Sckolnick is one of the finest physicians I have ever encountered from a professional and personal standpoint. Very lucky to have him as my ENT and also to have him in our community.

Very rude and dismissive of my concerns regarding my tonsil stones and options to find a solution at follow-up appointment. This was after following his original plan of care at initial visit 5 months prior without success.

Dr. Sckolnick, MD at Mills Peninsula, is very very knowledgeable and solid my problem in a very short time. Excellent ENT. Thank you Dr Sckolnick.

Dr. Scknolnick responded to a call at the Mills Peninsula ER last Saturday, August 31. A fishbone lodged at the back of my throat during my grandson's post Bar Mitzvah luncheon. I rushed to the ER when it was evident that the bone was securely caught and a real threat. The ex ray did not reveal the bone but Dr. Scknolnick was able to use two scopes which he expertly used (with computer screen projection) and special instruments to delicately remove the bone without surgery. Had it not been for his expertise and calm approach (as well as that of the emergency staff), I would certainly have experienced much more traumatic and extended treatment. He was calm, cool, and determined. I was so very lucky to have had Dr. Sckolnick's expert attendance.

I love coming here. Yup. I like coming to my doctors appt. Why? Dr sckolnick is amazing. He is super nice and explains thing clearly. If it is something that might scar or there is an alternative treatment for he also presents it. I first came here to clean my ears. I also noticed a small bump inside my ear that was bothering me. Dr sckolnick gave me some cream as he wanted to see if that would alleviate the problem. After using the cream the cyst did not go away and he asked me if I really wanted to remove it as it was super small and I could have a scar larger than the cyst. I thought about it while I was pregnant and after I delivered I had it removed. It didn't shrink but dr sckolnick was able to cut it open and clean it out and I didn't even need a stitch due to his precision. In my follow up appt he said it healed beautifully and I don't even remember which ear he removed the cyst from. Literally there is so scar or anything! But he is also super thorough and he is also the head of the ENT for good reason. I'm a fairly easy patient just coming in for ear cleaning but so glad I had him to remove my cyst and take care of all my ENT needs. He literally is the best and makes every appt fun and easy. Even if you need just an ear cleaning like me, who knows what he may find upon examination?

I am lucky to have seen a bunch of really good doctors in the bay area. Because of that, I have high standards. Dr. Sckolnick exceeds all of my expectations. He really takes time with you and explains everything so well. I love understanding the medical/scientific explanations, and he is very patient with all of my questions. He is funny and charming (adorable too! Haha! :P) and puts me at ease. His bedside manner is simply the best I've ever experienced. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
