"I had been sick for several days by the time I realized I probably had an ear infection and I was miserable. I called Advanced Ear, Nose & Throat care and they were able to fit me in at the end of the day after work. I had to wait a few minutes to see Dr. Bard but the staff kept popping in to see if I was ok. When you are feeling horrible, that extra care really makes a big difference to you. When Dr. Bard came in, he was smiling and pleasant as if I was his first patient of the day. He examined me and I did have a double ear infection and he gave me my prescriptions and told me what to do. Because they treated me like they really care, I was feeling better by the time I left the office. I would recommend this practice to everyone." ~ N. A. - Ridgefield, CT

"I suffered for years from a deviated septum due to multiple injuries playing sports. I had difficulty breathing through the right side of my nose due to a crushed septum that blocked 90% of air flow on that side. I learned coping skill over the years like sleeping on my palm to pull the skin and open, or using breath easy strips and bandaids to try and pull the space open so I could sleep. I would even take decongestants to try and open the space. I finally went to Dr Bard. He examined me and set reasonable expectations that the max improvement I could hope for would be a 50%-70% improvement due to the severity of the septum deviation. I figured any improvement would be better, so I went through with the procedure. After the procedure, Dr. Bard took the time to explain the challenges he faced during the surgery and how he took his time to make it as good as he possibly could. Well the results we not just good, but amazing! I regained 100% of normal air flow through both nostrils! No more tape, bandaids and sleeping on my palm! I stopped needing to take decongestants at night. The post operative care from Dr. Bard was great. I had a speedy recovery and was back to living a normal life with no exterior changes to my nose. It has been 3 years since the procedure and I am still breathing 100% normal. Thank You Dr. Bard! I truly believe you went above and beyond to fix me!" ~ M.K.

"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!!" ~ M.P.

"I thought I had strep throat. I was shocked to find out I had a cancer in my throat. Dr Bard helped me through the process from diagnosis to , what is now, cure. He spent a lot of time explaining things and made it easier for me. I had a few setbacks, but if it wasnt for him, I would have been diagnosed too late. I trusted him with my life and he did not let me down."

"Dr. Bard has put in ear tubes in by daughter's 3 times, has done a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy on both my daughter and my son. He is the best doctor there is. His bedside manner is excellent after getting to know him a little more and he is always great with the kids. Has a great sense of humor. He takes the extra time needed to explain things to you without rushing you. I am considering having surgery on my deviated septum and have no doubts about having him do the surgery."

"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!!!" ~ K.B.

"Dr. Bard has an excellent bed-side manner. He was thorough and professional and I can recommend him highly without reservation."

"This doctor was particularly attentive and kind to me. The office was busy but he really took the time to try to determine what was going on. I am a nervous patient, but he made me feel comfortable. After doing some tests, he explained what was wrong with me and came up with a treatment plan that really helped. I thought that he was very competent and I would recommend him highly."
