I saw him a few years ago for tonsil removal and had no problems. Saw him today for my ears (was referred and told I need tubes) he stated there is nothing wrong with my ears that I should take out my earrings (which are clearly not in my ear canal) and that if I still have problems to see a neurologist because it’s my brain. Worst doctor ever. Spent 2 hours waiting to be seen for less than 5 min and treated terribly! And I am still in pain!

I just left his office and found him to have a very nice bed-side manor. I had a balloon put in my nose for severe nose bleeding in the hospitial last week. Was assigned to Dr. Krivit to have it removed and cauterize the bleeding. He was knowledgeable, understanding, professional and kept me informed of every step taken. He is very nice and he answered all of my questions. He treated me with respect. I also don't understand why other patients say he is such a bad doctor. I liked him.

I have seen Dr. Krivit a number of times in the last 5 years and have always had very positive experiences and great outcomes. He took time to answer all my questions and was courteous and professional.

Gave a misdiagnosis (in the 5 min. he was with me), prescribed a very expensive medicine that didn't treat the condition. I received a 2nd opinion elsewhere with someone who actually listened and gave a correct diagnosis with correct medication. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone.

Worst Doctor I have ever seen. My mother suffered a stroke and she had an ear tube in her ear for years due to balance issues. After her stroke the tube was loose and needed to be replaced. However Dr. Kri it decided she didn't need to have a new tube put in. When we tried to ask questions he was extremely rude and walked away. We complained to mom's nurse as she was an in patient at a local hospital. The nurse called the Dr., and he hung up on her. I would never deal with this jerk again.

THis guy is rude. He is eager to do surgery, and got angry when I asked my questions - for $300 consult fee you would not think it would kill him to answer 2 questions. Find another ENT doctor - go to the U of I or somewhere else

I had seen doctors for allergies for 20 years and specifically another ENT that was a further drive from my office for the last 2 years, and none of them had ever mentioned that I had serious airflow blockage from a 95% deviated septum that was preventing my sinuses from draining properly. He recommended I have the DS repaired before pursuing an aggressive allergy treatment, which I believe was the correct process to follow. He explained the surgery well, was open to my questions about anaesthetization, completed the procedure well, and avoided heavy packing in the sinus cavity which can be very uncomfortable and even painful. I am so glad that I swtitched ENTs. It is unfortunate that the office staff at PCI ENT is horrible about returning phone calls for scheduling and questions.

He operated on my sinuses ten years ago to clear them and did a terrible job. I found him careless and cavalier. I was rushed in and out of surgery like I was on an assembly line. I still have trouble breathing and now have excruciating headaches. My cousin had ear surgery performed by Krivit and had to have it redone.

Very good doctor but horrible, horrible bedside manner. Couldn't have cared less about the amount of pain or discomfort I was in.
