Dr. Bolger is the cream of the crop. He literally wrote the book on sinus surgery. Could not ask for better or more caring doctor. Office staff is great too.

My husband and I both are patients of Dr. Bolger. Dr. Bolger’s expertise, knowledge, understanding, as well as genuine concern for us as his patients goes beyond belief. My husband and I both have suffered with sinus issues most of our lives; and under the care of other doctors, needless to say these issues have never been remedied. My husband had severe sinus issues that escalated to a very serious situation. Following surgery by another doctor, his situation worsened even more. We were referred to Dr. Bolger, and as far as we are concerned, Dr. Bolger basically saved my husband’s life! I had surgery with Dr. Bolger as well, and the results have been amazing. Appointments with Dr. Bolger are more than a pleasure, as he takes ample time explaining your issues in great detail leaving you with ease. His staff is wonderful and are equally as caring and concerned for us as patients there. North Florida Sinus Center, Dr. Bolger, and his staff definitely receive an A+ from us! However, don’t take our words for it, go see for yourself.

After years of suffering from severe allergies and sinus issues I decided that it was time to seek medical treatment. I’m very pleased to have met Dr Bolger at North Florida Sinus Center. Dr Bolger is a fantastic surgeon. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything so thoroughly and made me feel at ease with my procedure. I must say I am impressed with his follow up as well. He actually called me to check on me the evening of my surgery. His follow up care was exceptional. I am sleeping and breathing perfectly. I would have given Dr Bolger 10 stars ⭐️. Thank you.

I had been having a problem breathing for several years. I came to Dr. Bolger and had a good feeling that I was finally going to feel like a normal personal again. I went to get a CT scan and from there we could see what was going on inside my sinuses. Dr. Bolger explained to me what needed to be done. At the same time of feeling like there was finally a light at the end of the tunnel, it was a bit overwhelming trying to grasp everything. Dr. Bolger and his staff took the time to explain everything and help me feel comfortable. They were compassionate and treated me with kindness; they were willing to answer whatever questions I had. I am now over one month post-surgery and feel so much more better and look forward to the future.

Dr. Bolger was the fourth doctor I went to in about 4 years about nose breathing problems. He immediately knew what was wrong and what could fix it. Since I had already had some very bad experiences, with some very painful and long recoveries, I was hesitant. But something made me believe that he was the one that could fix me! He seemed to have a plan and knowledge that no one else had! So I gave it another shot. Not only did he fix my problems...and for the first time in years I could breathe freely....he also did it to where I had no pain at all after surgery. And very little bleeding (very different from other surgeries I had had) And only a day or two of down time! There are no words to express my gratitude to this doctor! He is the doctor to go to first and you can be sure to truth that he will fix any problem relating to ENT that you might have. He is a 30 out of 10 in my book!

Dr Bolger saved my life. He never let the system get in the way of giving me the absolute best care. He treated my medical issues as quickly as possible. At the time, his office didn't accept my medical insurance, but he made it work. Dr Bolger and Dr Naseri coordinated to get my first surgery over a holiday weekend. I would recommend anyone with any sinus issues to put their trust in Dr Bolger.

Dr. Bolger is an incredibly experienced, caring, and responsive professional. He listed carefully to my history, asked follow up questions, and performed a detailed examination. His office is wonderfully equipped to perform preliminary exams of the sinuses in-house, which allowed for a quick diagnosis of preliminary findings. While my situation required outpatient surgery, that process and the subsequent follow-up were flawless. Every question I had was answered, the arrangements and coordination with the surgery facility were done speedily, and the surgery was an unqualified success. I feel better than I have in two years!
All in all, Dr. Bolger is one of the finest medical professionals I have ever met. He is caring, thorough, incredibly skilled, and stays current by both conducting and tracking research. I recommend him without reservation.
