Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The Best Doctor
Dr. Senior is the best doctor ever and the most caring doctor. I have been seeing him for over 18 years. He saved my life after performing surgery to remove a tumor in my sinuses. Besides being an excellent doctor, he is an amazing human being.

Dr. Senior is an excellent ENT! My Mom was having very serious sinus issues, and after seeing two different ENT’s, in two different cities...we finally found Dr. Senior. Her surgery was a MUST. That’s the only thing two of the ENT’s agreed upon. The other was absolutely clueless, and had missed the diagnosis completely. A diagnosis that could have killed her. We traveled 3 hours one way for her visits/surgery, and still do to this day for follow-up treatment. That was a couple of years ago. She is doing great, and feels so much better. While we were there, we met people who had traveled from out of state just to see him. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I would not recommend Dr. Brent Senior. He does not put the patient's comfort first. I was not happy with him and he finally upset me so much I got another doctor to help me with the Chronic Sinusitis issue. Dr. Senior does not listen to your problem and create a remedy. I was in a lot of pain of which he refused to treat. He just wanted to do the surgery and not address the pain that I was experiencing.
