Had a deviated septum surgery done by him and now my breathing is 100x worse. My nose is now crooked, fragile/bendy, and I can’t smell.

I do not trust this doctor. He downplayed my surgery to fix my nasal fracture. Now, my nose looks even more crooked than it did before. He uses small talk to avoid tough questions, has terrible bedside manner and makes jokes at the wrong times. Overall, I am incredibly disappointed with my surgical results and the way I have been treated and disregarded as a patient. When I questioned about sensitivity ...

I do not trust this doctor. He downplayed my surgery to fix my nasal fracture/deviated septum and I had no idea what I was getting into. Now, my nose looks even more crooked than it did before. He uses small talk to avoid tough questions, has terrible bed-side manner and makes jokes at the wrong times. Overall, I am incredibly disappointed with my surgical results and the way I have been treated and disregarded as a patient.

Dr. Smullen performed my daughter’s nasal fracture repair. She’d been very self-conscious about her nose after breaking it a couple of years ago. Dr. Smullen sat and really listened to her. He thoroughly explained the surgery and recovery. The results were incredible. He gave back such confidence to my daughter and I will always be grateful. I also have to mention the staff. I did not meet one person who wasn’t helpful and you can tell they really enjoy working there.

I have been a patient of Dr Smullen for a number of years. He is thorough, answers all questions. I am never rushed. I have a high level of confidence in and great respect for Dr. Smullen.

I had rhinoplasty last week and it was a great experience. Dr Smullen really took the time to listen and help me in my choices. I am happy with the end result. Great Dr. And great staff!

Dr. Smullen refused to support the clinical diagnosis of one of his colleagues who had retired and passed my treatment into his hands. He showed very little interest in me or my story and was instead condescending and clearly in a hurry to wash his hands of me. He showed no compassion or empathy and indicated that he wasn't qualified to continue managing my care. Instead, he laughingly suggested I consult a psychiatrist, as though my condition is something that is merely in my head. I have never written an online review before but felt obliged to share my experience with him since it was so unpleasant and unprofessional.

I was in for my second visit with Dr. Smullen a couple days ago. I was very impressed. I've always been a very nervous patient and he actually made me feel comfortable, something only one or two other doctors have ever been able to do. I was talking to two of my friends today. One of them is having problems very similar to mine and then other is seeing a different Otolaryngologist who they are not satisfied with and I recommended him to both of them. The only problem I have is that his office hours aren't the most convenient for me. He's only in the office closest to me one day a week and it's a day that I have to work. (I do enjoy being able to get an extra day off from work whenever I have an appointment though.)

My wife has been his patient since he opened his Lansdale Pa. practice. Her treated her for a severe sinus infection that required surgery. Not only did he treat the infection, he corrected the defect that was causing her sinus problems and straightened her nose! Thanks to Dr. Smullen, my wife can breath normally and has an even prettier nose than before.
