And to Dr. Dillard, I cannot thank you enough. You have been caring for me for about 20 years and I have never ever had anything but positive things to say about you. I love how you always put my health first. And you discuss things with me in a manner that lets me know that you truly care about my well-being.

Dr. Edward is an angel he is the sweetest doctor I had ever met. I had a chronic sinus problem he scheduled me for a surgery and check on me late night to see how I was doing. He really cares for his patients and its always there if you have questions and concerns. I totally recommend him if you ever in need of a sinus doctor Dr. David Edwards is the best. I would give him more that 5 stars!!!

I just received surgery for a balloon sinuplasty from this establishment and truly, this place went above and beyond to make me feel as comfortable and safe before and after the procedure. I’ve had chronic ear infections for most of my life and for the first time in a while I’m feeling more hopeful then ever. Even though they insisted putting the anesthesia needle in my hand instead of the arm as I would have preferred, their bedside manner and delivery was impeccable. Thank you Dr Edwards and team. My gratitude extends beyond measure!!! Definitely don’t hope to have surgery from this place again( who would ) Lol 😂 but I believe they know what they are doing.

I’ve been here a few times and this was the first time I encountered Dr Dillard and the staff prior was so amazing to me. Dr Dillard is such an amazing doctor and I can tell he cares a lot about his patients. I recommend Dr Dillard to anyone. He is the sweetest most compassionate sleep doctor.

I have seen MS Liliana Conner for several years for my hearing aids. She is a competent audiologist with warm personality, always ready to help.More recently I have seen Doctor David Dillard at the Sleep and Sinus Center for my other ENT problem. The office is well organized and well equipped, the staff well trained and well educated. Doctor Dillard is pleasant and friendly, he shows concerns and empathy. He has large experiences in his own field and did a great job. I strongly recommend him for anybody with Ear Nose and Throat problems.

An amazingly good Dr and staff. I am as picky on my Dr's as exist, I come from a medical household and have high standards. Dr. Dillard fully exceeds them all, and not only is he kind but he may likely be a genius in his own. I truly appreciate him. Oh- every single person on his staff has been very friendly. Even nicely conversational while you wait. Very professional, and kind. Appreciated.

I was incorrectly diagnosed by three doctors before going to S&S Centers. I had a combination of water trapped in my inner ear and yearly sinusitis that caused me to barely hear, see or walk. The team immediately listened to my issues, appropriately diagnosed me and helped me set up a plan to fully address the root of the issue (my allergies). While it has been a journey to recovery, I'm beyond grateful to the staff and Dr. Dillard for ensuring I fully recovered. If you are looking for people who listen and support you during every step of the process, this is the team you want.

Dr. Dillard is one of the sweetest and most attentive specialist doctors I have ever met! He listened to me and took me seriously. I came in with an ear infection that had my ear swollen shut & excruciating pain. I had 3 abscesses in my ear and Dr. Dillard did outpatient surgery on me the same day. I appreciated his swiftness and eagerness to help me. His staff was incredibly kind and gentle. They were all so sweet to me when I came in for my follow up appointments afterward. You can tell that the entire staff truly cares for their patients. I would send anyone to see Dr. Dillard and plan on referring my partner and father to him. If you need an ENT in North GA, Dr. Dillard is your guy.

From the very beginning, my time was valuable to them. I was a first time patient. They went out of their way to insure I did not have to wait for a long time to get into the room, and then wait for a long time for the doctor.The staff was friendly and went out of their way to insure I understood what they were going to do as well as my options for treatments. The PA who first examined me, and the Doctor took their time to explain thing to me, and made me feel very comfortable. I am looking forward to returning to continue my treatments.
