06/18/20
Dr. Citardi is truly a unique physician, in my experience. I have been seeing him a few years now to address my [...] [...], and during this period he has really educated me on what has been going on physiologically and medically. Consequently we have developed a collaborative approach to treatment as I am better able to describe my symptoms and what I am feeling so that he is able to address with targeted solutions that are gradually eliminating the larger issues and now we are down to really one specific structure issue that we have to work around. As a result, I feel like my situation continues to improve which would not have happened, in my opinion, without his patience and explanations/education at office visits. I would highly recommend Dr. Citardi to anyone having sinus issues.

*Dr. Citardi is awesome.
03/25/20
*Dr. Martin Citardi, behaved in a manner that was rude, challenged my concerns - very argumentative, refused to believe my concerns were legit. I have NEVER been treated so poorly and disrespectfully by a physician. I will never visit UT Physicians.
03/22/20
Dr. Citardi is a wonderful communicator. He listens to my situation, takes a look at my sinuses, and then recommends a treatment path which is explained clearly. Also, if i have any questions after my appointment, I send an email via the patient portal and he responds promptly.
03/20/20
These physicians and their staff are all at the top of their field! They are excellent & in all areas!!
03/12/20
I found Dr. Citardi to be rude and condescending. I went to him for a [...][...] and did not get that, in fact questions I asked he made me feel [...] and when by the time the appointment ended, I felt as if my appointment for him was a waste of time. when I asked what are the risks of surgery his response was "there's always a risk" without giving any specific scenarios. I asked the benefits of surgery his response was vague "I'm not sure" . I expressed my concerns about my symptoms, discomfort and what can be done to prevent worsening of symptoms (proactive approach), he did not offer an explanation, reasons or show an interest in my care.
03/12/20
Dr. Citardi has always shown concern. He lists my options for treatment and explains advantages and disadvantages. He also explains why he would choose one procedure over another! i would highly recommend him to others!!

Nurse and Doctor were very professional and thorough. Excellent, actually.
01/19/20
Dr. Citardi is excellent and professional however his front office staff needs to work harder on explaining that there is a delay and here are your options, plain and simple, we don't need to know what the other patients problem is we just want to know if there is a delay with a guesstimate of time . Thanks.
01/19/20
I checked in at [...] for [...] appointment there was over an hour delay at check in and no one would let me fill out required papers for visit. I had to ask several times before I was told there was a medical issue with a [...] [...]. I don't mind waiting if I'm told there would've been a delay however no one said anything which aggravated me quite a bit and I told them so . I have [...] in [...] for [...] and have always told patients of delays and gave options of waiting or rescheduling.

01/07/20
Dr. Citardi and the ENT Resident / Fellow seemed very knowledgeable and competent. It takes time to follow the lime line of a complicated medical history and try to unravel past & current problems. I'll give Dr. Citardi credit -- he has obviously been around the block a few times.
01/04/20

10/25/19
good.
10/15/19
Doctor [...] was more knowledgeable than the actual physician. Citardi did not show any concern for what I was expressing to him nor did he give me written instruction as to what medication that he mentioned to me. All I remember was order it from Amazon. "What the [...] is that supposed to mean?" I would never refer this person to anyone in need an ENT physician. Just so you know, my nose continues to [...].
