Glenn E. Waldman, MD

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Dr. Waldman for the incredible transformation he's given me! I had been struggling for years with breathing issues, sleep disturbances, and even a lack of energy. After Dr. Waldman performed a deviated septum repair, balloon sinuplasty, and turbinate airway surgery, my life has completely changed. I can breathe so much better now, and it feels like a weight has been lifted. Sleeping has never been this restful, and I can now enjoy activities like yoga and hiking without feeling winded. It's honestly like a whole new world of energy and clarity has opened up for me—I'm thinking clearer, sleeping better, and just overall feeling more alive! Not only did Dr. Waldman improve my health, but he also helped enhance my appearance in a way I never expected. Even though I didn’t undergo rhinoplasty, my nose looks more refined, thanks to his expertise as a skilled plastic surgeon. I am beyond impressed with his precision and care, and I’m so thankful for the positive changes he's brought to my life. Dr. Waldman is a true professional—highly skilled, compassionate, and truly a master of his craft. If you’re considering any ENT procedures, I highly recommend him! He’s changed my life for the better, and I’ll be forever grateful.

Dr. Waldman and Andy were super friendly and professional. I have never felt in safer hands after visiting this office. Front desk are all lovely and very easy to set appoints with. In-office procedure went as smooth as possible with a great team working with Dr. Waldman.

Trust me when I say this, you will not find a better Doctor than Dr. Glenn Waldman. I initially went to him from a referral to have him check up on my vocal chords. I am a singer and there had been a pain and in my throat when I was attempting to sing. He put a scope down my throat and discovered I had pre-nodules (what appears like scar tissue) on my vocal chords. I cried because as a singer that is the terrible news, but he was very reassuring that with time and minimal talking, no singing, lots of hydration, they could heal. Long story short- they did! He checks them every 6mos-1 year now to ensure their health, however, the next check-up, before he even did the scope, he could tell my speaking voice sounded differently and knew they were healed, the scope only confirmed that. If I thought that was enough, the real praise came in for all the problems with my nose I didn't even know I had, some of which was also contributing to my singing voice pains. I had suspected for a while that I had a deviated septum and after having an MRI done, it was confirmed. What I didn't know I had was extremely inflamed sinuses and glands all over my face. I've had terrible "Face" headaches for a while and this is the reason why. I also needed to have a bone removed from my nose. So what I thought was going to be minor ended up being a major surgery. Dr. Waldman performed beautiful work! BEAUTIFUL. I could see a difference in just a few weeks and now, over a year later, my nose is still shaping out to how its going to look, but most importantly, I can BREATHE and I have no more face headaches or sinus issues. He wasn't in network for my healthcare plan, so I had to pay a couple thousand dollars out of pocket to cover my deductible, but I don't care, I would do it again and again. I really can't stress this enough- Dr. Glenn Waldman is THE best. I highly recommend him. He has amazing bedside manner, explains things very well, is very kind, and is an EXCELLENT ENT and surgeon.

Dr. Glenn Waldman performed four separate surgical procedures on my nose at the Simi Surgery Center. I had what you might call "a lot" done. The very next day I was happy with the breathing. But it was only today that he took my cast off my nose that I was able to see the cosmetic skill he has. My nose looks more perfect than I ever thought possible. It's gorgeous! I have asked him to use me as a before and after. The reasons I sought Dr. Waldman's treatment are as follows. My whole life I had a throat clearing problem, for instance, in third grade, as a small child I remember people telling me it was a "bad habit" and I should stop. It was my nose. I only went to a doctor when finally as an adult I could not breath through one of my nostrils anymore. That was in New York fifteen years ago, and the doctor said "It's only going to get worse if you don't have surgery," but feeling relieved it wasn't anything serious like a tumor blocking the nostril, and merely a "deviated septum", and therefore could be put off, I put it off. And worse it got. Eight years later I would have no choice but to use Breath Right Strips. Fifteen years later, this year, now age 42, even breath right strips weren't keeping my nostrils open enough to breath at night. Not to mention using Breath Right Strips is NOT sexy! The next morning as I put my makeup on it would clog in the glue remnants from the strip. Just awful. I was still afraid of surgery, but now at my wits end. I found Dr. Waldman and asked what he could do. He immediately impressed me as an intellectual. I thought - an engineer type, and a perfectionist, so I felt very safe in his hands. What shocked me, though, is the artist that came out of him when I asked if it was worth tweaking the appearance, since he'd have me in the OR anyway for a few hours. My nose always had a bump on it and a bulb at the end. Not so bumpy as Jessica Simpsons original nose, but still what you would describe as a "strong feature". The bulb was now drooping towards my lip as I got older. Though people have made fun of my nose and even friends recommended I get a "nose job", I convinced myself it couldn't be that bad. Not reason enough for surgery, at least. I asked Dr. Waldman what he thought. He had some ideas for what he thought would look nice, yet still let me look like me so my four year old would still recognize me. When he spoke about his ideas, he was mentioning principles of illustration I had learned in art school about how to highlight features you want people to look at and just make parts you don't want to be known for "disappear". I felt safe. I felt 100% trust in his taste and judgement. I just let him do as he saw fit. I'm so glad I did. You can't objectively know what you need as much as your doctor does. I am now 42 and I could do backflips I am so happy. I can breathe, and I'm no longer going to be the funny chick with the big nose. I finally feel cute. I am so happy! By the way - my profile picture is "before". If you want to see my nose "after", ask Dr. Waldman for some before and afters. When I go back to see him in a month he's going to take the after photos when my swelling is down and eye bruises are gone. Thank you, Dr. Waldman, for making me feel so good inside and out!!!

I'm three weeks after my sinus surgery. Haven't been able to breathe like this in six decades. Remarkable results
