AVOID SAUL MODLIN AT ALL COSTS IF YOU NEED AN EAR NOSE THROAT DOCTOR! My 75 year old mother was under Dr. Modlin's care for sharp ear pain for months. He treated her for an inner ear infection/fluid in her inner ear. When she could no longer stand the pain, and sharp headaches she checked herself into the hospital thinking she had a stroke. The subsequent MRI revealed a mass in her head behind the nose as well as a tumor on her thyroid gland. His abhorrent bedside manner in discussing the necessary biopsy surgery left my mother and I in tears. We have transferred her to another hospital in order to seek more specialized and more thorough care. I wonder if he had ordered the MRI/Catscan earlier we would have known the severity of her situation earlier so that she could have been in a less precarious situation.
