Patient Reviews

I have been a patient of Dr. Swamy’s for almost two years now and have only glowing things to say about him. He is caring and thorough, and truly listens to you. He is so knowledgeable. I was under his care for one issue, and when a new one came up, he quickly knew the steps to take to get me better (which is rare for this medical condition - I have read experiences of it taking years for a doctor to get the diagnosis right that took Dr. Swamy one appointment to nail down!!). I have seen him for a non-surgical sinuplasty and Botox and he is amazing with both. Also helped me navigate some insurance issues!!

Dr. Saidi and Abbidin best ENT.

Sam is the best! I’ve been going to her for almost 6 months, she has completely transformed my skin. I’m in my mid forties, struggling with dullness, dark spots and aging. She truly works magic! I get compliments on my glowing skin constantly, and it’s all because of Sam. Her work is worth every penny.

I have worked with both Samantha “Sam” and Kayla and they are both amazing. They are very professional, they pay attention to details and provide good-quality results.

Dr. Saidi and his staff are truly remarkable, compassionate and knowledgeable caretakers. I was visiting Alexandria from out of state and unfortunately suffered some sudden hear loss. Being out of state, I must commend the entire staff at Metropolitan ENT for "squeezing" me into the schedule to receive an audiogram. Sadly I forget the two audiologists names but they were thorough, incredible and suggested that I try to see Dr. Saidi while I was in town. I took their advice and met with Dr. Saidi who reviewed my case, listened to what I was saying and gave me a couple different options to deal with my situation. I chose to receive an intratympanic injection to see if my hearing would improve. He was very open about the chances for success and explained the procedure wonderfully. After my treatment, Dr Saidi told me to take another audiogram in a few days, fax him the results and we would discuss next steps. I did all of this today and happily my hearing has shown great improvement! Dr. Saidi called me to discuss next steps and we have a plan of action! All of this for an out of state, non established patient which is a true testament to his character. He is one of the kindest doctors I have ever encountered and should be held up as a role model in how to manage the doctor/patient relationship. He is a special man and the Metropolitan ENT staff was a very impressive facility!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart (and ear)!!!!

Samantha Elliott “Sam” is simply the best. We are very grateful for her always expert and gentle care. My husband and I have both had wonderful skin improvements – wrinkles, age spots, etc. are all greatly diminished. For each of our treatments (using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques), Sam carefully explained the procedure, the time it would take, and what “aftercare” should be done. We plan to continue all of our skin treatments with Sam. We are delighted with the care she provides her attention to detail and the results. Sam, thank you for helping us feel our best!

My daughter had to follow up with Metropolitan ENT after a hospitalization. I just have to praise Joseph the clinic supervisor, and Dr. Comstock for going above and beyond to ensure my daughter and I were taken care of! We've been in and out of doctor's offices and hospitals for the past few weeks, and they were by far the most professional and caring! We do not live close by, but I will gladly make the commute to come here again! truly felt like they genuinely cared about my daughter's wellbeing, and I would highly recommend this practice to anyone in search of an ENT! Thank you so much for everything! Courtney

I came to Dr. Saidi following a very unpleasant bike accident in which, among other injuries, I’d crushed the cartilage on the right side of my nose. This injury made it nearly impossible to breath through my right nostril, not to mention how unsightly the caved-in area of my nose appeared. One might think that this would be a straightforward procedure to correct, akin to fixing a broken nose, however, this was not the case. Finding a physician that was confident in their abilities to fix this rather complex issue and willing to work within the confines of insurance was enormously challenging. After meeting with several plastic surgeons who were highly regarded but skeptical or unwilling to treat the physical and aesthetic ramifications of the crushed cartilage, I decided to research ENT’s. I was incredibly fortunate to find Dr. Saidi. Dr. Saidi seems to be one of those rare doctors who practices his craft because he genuinely wants to help his patients. His bedside manner can only be described as uniquely caring, patient and humble and the caliber of his work, in my opinion, is exceptional. In addition to opening up my collapsed right septum, Dr. Saidi grafted cartilage to provide continued support to that specific area of my nose. He also noted that both nostrils had a tendency to collapse when I inhaled, thus restricting airflow. Dr. Saidi worked on these areas as well, resolving my impaired breathing and giving me a nose that is every bit as efficient and flattering as I could have hoped for. While I don’t often write reviews, I want to ensure that Dr. Saidi’s name reaches those considering an ENT/plastic surgeon in the northern Virginia area. He is truly an outstanding physician in every measure of service and an extraordinarily talented and compassionate surgeon whom I recommend wholeheartedly.

"It has now been exactly 3 years since Dr. Saidi performed my balloon sinuplasty procedure in March 2014 that, in combination with oral allergy drops, literally - and surprisingly quickly - gave me my life back. After struggling over a year with severe, chronic sinus infections and bizarre new allergies, I was, quite frankly, in a deep pit of despair and barely able to function at work and at home, experiencing absolute misery from my terribly infected sinuses and allergies, as well as significant sleep deprivation, weight gain, and depression." "Thankfully, I found Dr. Saidi, the first doctor to take me seriously and truly listen to me, to show me such incredible kindness when I was so fragile and needed it most, to run extensive tests, and to relentlessly pursue the best possible multi-pronged treatment approach. Dr. Saidi pursued all possible less invasive treatments treatments first; when they were unsuccessful, the balloon sinuplasty proved to be the perfect solution for me! I immediately experienced incredible relief the very next day - for the first time in over a year! - and continued to improve drastically every week until I was 100% healed! I began breathing easily, sleeping, exercising, losing weight (40 lbs!), and experiencing tremendous joy for life again! Dr. Saidi and every member of his team exhibit unparalleled excellence, professionalism, expertise, problem-solving, rigor, patience, compassion, and kindness; I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for each of them every single day. Thank you, Dr. Saidi, for restoring me. Thank you for making me whole again. My family and I will forever be indebted to you." Gratefully, S Mooney
