I was able to secure a same day appointment. Dr Bard is very professional and knowledgeable and my condition. He assessed and we came up with a plan. The front desk was absolutely amazing. My blood sugar levels went below 70 and they mobilized and gave me sugar to bring back to normal.
Great practice and exceptional Dr. Dr. Bard is highly skilled, professional and kind.
My visit with Dr Bard this morning was a pleasure . On time , polite, and explained everything clearly to me .
Dr.Bard did a wonderful job on the surgery he performed. I had two procedures done simultaneously with a very positive outcome for both. He is very professional and caring.
Friendly and great patient skills. Totally recommend
Dr Bard and his staff are kind and caring. They took very good care of me. 👍🏻
Tremendous Service !
Never had a better experience than with Dr Baird very caring absolutely the best
I saw Dr. Bard a few months ago to get his opinion on my deviated septum. I had gotten the surgery 3 years ago but over the course of the past 3 years it found itself back where it started. I ended up going in for a revision surgery with Dr. Bard and it was the best recent decision I’ve made. He did a perfect job and I can now breathe normally again. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Bard if you think you might have a deviated septum, it is 100% worth it.
Dr Bard is a great I have been seeing him for 20 years. I am very satisfied with the care and treatment I have had.
Fui bem atendida ,o melhor k tem pessoas k fala meu idioma (português) tempo de espera n tive pq foi rápido os profissionais de lá merecem não 5 estrelas mas 1.000 obg a todos 👏👏👏
I needed to have my ears cleaned of the wax builds in both ears. Dr. Bard’s nurse cleaned most of the wax out with water. But D, Bard had to finish it by using the proper tool to remove what was let. It was professional from beginning to end.
Dr. Bard is very professional and knowledgeable. He actually remembered me after 20 years! He had done nasal septum repair. I only wish he was my Primary Care Provider (PCP) and I am picky.
Dr Bard is a very kind gentle doctor who really put me at ease and treated my condition with professionalism. When I left the office I felt all my questions were answered and BTW his nurse was awesome too
Changed the way I breathe. Awesome doctor, great care!
Excellent care and professional! Great sense of humor and very attentive which is hard to find in today’s medical community! I highly recommend him!
Dr. Bard and staff are excellent courteous and friendly professionals . I highly recommend Dr. Bard.
Very grateful for the care I received from Dr Bard and all the supportive staff in his office.
Dr. Michael Bard is not only one of the only ENTs I trust — but one of the only doctors in the area I trust with my health. He has a wonderful self-effacing personality, is brilliant and spends quality time with his patients. He spends time “listening” to a patient’s concerns and troubleshooting vs. making generic, insurance-led diagnosis, using his vast knowledge, education, training, and real life experiences to provide a thorough analysis and next steps.
Very pleasant, professional, showed concern….highly recommend the doctor(Dr. M. Bard is the Best…thank you Dr. Bard
I have been seeing Dr. Michael Bard for probably twenty years or more and he has helped me with a number of ENT issues. I am thankful that my Primary Care Physician referred me to Dr. Bard’s practice. What is particularly exciting are the new treatments that have been developed recently that Dr. Bard told me about that might help me with my chronic sinus issues.
He is an excellent Dr with a terrific bedside manner, patient, compassionate and I would recommend him every time
Dr. Bard was on time and took care of my needs. He is always very personable and professional.
I have been seeing Dr. Bard for ear problems for over two years. I find him very competent and knowledgeable as well as caring. I have received some treatments that were sensitive and uncomfortable. Dr Bard was most reassuring and his caring manner made me feel much more comfortable.
Best ENT I’ve ever been to
Dr Bard is very knowledgeable. Greta experience overall.
This is from Tom. Excellent experience and service for my hearing test with Dr. Bard. Speedy on time service and great staff.
Dr Bard was really kind and great bedside manner. Definitely recommend
My PCP referred me to ASC to have a Direct Visualization to insert a camera down my nose to check behind my throat and nose. Please forgive me if I don’t have the correct terminology. The thought of a camera and wire going down my nose had me VERY NERVOUS. From the time I spoke with Meghan to make the appointment, to checking in then to the nurse inserting Lidocaine down my nose I was so happy with how kind and patient they were. I’m embarrassed to say how nervous I was. Dr. Bard came in to the examining room and reassured me that it would not a big deal and it might last 2 to 5 seconds. He was 100% correct. It was not a big deal and it was literally painless. I cannot recommend the staff at ASC enough for they went above and beyond to help me. I really need to give a huge shout out to Dr. Bard as he was very patient with me. I have given birth three times but the thought of putting something down my nose made me a nervous wreck. I know doctors are busy but for the time I was in the examining room I felt like I was the only patient in the whole office. Everything was explained step by step and I was constantly reassured. Thank you Dr. Bard.
I needed to get my ears washed out and checked for issues. My VA audiologist recommended it after I picked up my new top of the line hearing aids from the VA hospital in West Haven. CT. I made an appointment with Dr. Bard of ASC’s Danbury office. It was a 100% positive experience. The VA Audiologist was right. It made a world of difference in my hearing ability.
Dr Bard was clear and concise, explained my ear condition to me carefully and has a really good bedside manner.
Went to see Dr. Bard for pain I was having near my salivary glands. He was personable, informative and fun. I wish all my doctors were like him!
Friendly, efficient and didn’t keep me waiting. Great care. Very pleasant experience.
Dr Bard has been fabulous in treating me for reoccurring sinus infections. He performed surgery and I haven’t had another infection since! He has a great bedside manner. I’ve now returned to him for a sleep study and help with vertigo. Thank you so much!
Dr bard is very caring and empathetic. He takes time to address all of your concerns and questions. He is very competent at his practice.
I had an issue with a cough that was with me for months along with sporadic sore throat and congestion. After numerous trips to my GP, I was handed off to Dr. Bard. First visit with Dr. Bard included some questions about my symptoms and a nasal endoscopy. The visit, diagnosis and treatment plan took about 20 minutes with a 3 week follow up. Cured! Dr. Bard is who you want to see for any ENT issues.
Dr. Bard and staff were great as always! So personable and easy to talk to. I
Dr. Bard always conducts himself in a thorough and professional manner. He’s one of the best out there.
I have been a patient of Dr. Bard for several years. Dr. Bard and his staff are friendly and ensure I am properly informed about my health and care. Not only has he taken care of my health, but also he is lovely to speak with at every appointment. Highly recommend.
Dr. Bard is so professional, smart, personable and funny!!! I was so comfortable in the office and loved meeting everybody – the entire staff was so helpful and kind, thank you so much!!!
Very professional front desk, organized and friendly! The doctors were extremely thorough and very friendly. I truly enjoyed my visit to this practice! Thank you!
Made me confident about having surgery and established trust with me very well. I had a smooth surgery and recovery, my results were better than I had hoped. Would recommend to a friend or family. Office staff, scheduling, and communication were spot on.
I would highly recommended Dr. Bard to anyone that needs to see an Ear Nose Throat Specialist. He was was very thorough in explaining everything that was happening to me from the first visit. He takes the time to make sure his patients understand what is happening to their body and he effectively communicated with my other health care providers about my health issues. When it was time for surgery he was very compassionate and caring about my concerns regarding my other health care issues.His office staff has always been very polite and courteous when ever I have called and needed anything. Congratulations to Dr. Bard and his office team for being real professionals but also being compassionate and caring about the patients at the same time!! Maria P.
Doctor Bard’s expert advice and disarming bedside manner made my first surgery an almost pleasant experience.
I’m not sure what all the negative reviews are with Dr Michael Bard. He was very nice from the start we discussed my issues, He gave me a thorough exam. He was very personable, knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend this DR.
