Jacob R. Brodsky's Online Review Report Card

My daughter has been a patient of Dr. Brodsky since 2014. He has always been kind and compassionate. He always takes his time to explain everything going on with my daughter. She has had several surgeries with him. When I reach out to his office I always get a message or call back the same day. He has even called after hours just to make sure he could explain things to me when needed.

Sadly, not a great experience. We were pushed off to seeing his PA for multiple follow ups. We had ongoing issues after surgery and he did not address them. We switched to Mass Eye and Ear, where they did an immediate surgery to fix the issue.

This office is so poorly run, do not waste your time especially if you have a sick baby that you’re trying to help. It took us 1.5 months to get in for a consultation, I was there for 4 hours with my 15 month old because our appointments weren’t lined up (the NP even made a comment how fussy my baby was, after being there for 4 hours and missing her nap!) I was told my daughter needed surgery but to wait a week for the scheduling department to call me. I waited 2 weeks, no call. I then started calling and was given the run around for 2 additional weeks. I believe my phone calls were then screened as I was being sent directly to voicemail and couldn’t get through to anyone. I finally called a different office, had a consultation the very next day and my daughter had surgery just 2 weeks later - she was finally healthy! The new doctor was the nicest doctor I had ever encountered and her practice ran so smoothly. So mad I wasted 3 months with Children’s - don’t do it!

It is never easy to turn your baby over for surgery- I did so with complete trust in Dr Brodsky. As a physician myself, I researched our pedi ENT options and without hesitation would recommend him to others.

Dr. Brodsky is a phenomenal physician - we are lucky to have found him. My daughter has an unusual vertigo syndrome that no other physician was able to identify. He has worked diligently to find a solution and has greatly improved her quality of life. He is straight forward, honest, and responsive. We would highly recommend him.

Dr. Brodsky was the first doctor after SO many to listen to my concerns. I could tell he read through my extensive history before the appointment. He diagnosed me in 1 hour where all the other doctors couldn’t and basically told me it was in my head. Dr. Brodsky has amazing bedside manner and made sure I left with no questions! Would highly recommend

Dr. Brodsky explained the situation thoroughly and persisted until he found a solution that was not immediately apparent. We love him!

Our son had tubes placed in his ears. Dr. Brodsky was fine for surgery, however we had significant complications following that he did not attend to. He never once saw us after surgery, only his PA. I kept booking with him since we had a major issue when one of his ears had a huge amount of blood coming out. Our pediatrician asked us to see him urgently, and when I called, I was given an appointment 3 weeks out. On the date of the appt, he clearly had something more important to do, and again, did not see us, just his PA. His PA is nice, but was not giving us any treatment options. His ear was completely blocked by scab, to the point that he failed a hearing test. I finally switched to MASS EYE AND EAR and had surgery booked immediately with them. They have been much more accommodating and caring towards us.

Dr. Brodsky is an amazing doctor! He was patient, methodical and reassuring with my daughter's debilitating incapacitating vertigo. Every other doctor (and there were many, all over the country) gave up on her and told us they couldn't help her. Dr. Brodsky worked with us for 2 years, methodically and carefully until he found a lasting solution. He was always accessible and followed up with us nights, weekends & holidays -- whenever needed. He is everything one could ask for in a doctor - clear, patient, creative, brilliant, and has a fabulous bedside manner. He gave my daughter hope when we didn't have any. For that and everything else we are so grateful

I’m mystified by the negative reviews and the reviewer who called him pompous. Dr Brodsky had a very kind manner and was extremely informative. He could not have been more patient or more focused. So impressed with his knowledge and his manner.
