Dr. Charles Syms, MD

The visit went good. He’s very amiable and noble with lots of patience to understand. He is the Texas Super Doctor! Thank you, Dr. Syms Hope looking forward soon. ??

I have been going to him off and on for many years and every time I leave feeling disgusted. He is pretty flippant, and has a very high self image. ????. He has never apologized for my “always” long wait time in his office. The last visit I arrived 15 minutes before my appointment time which was at 10:30 am. At 12:00 noon, I still had not been seen. The waiting room was full which tells me he is more motivated in seeing a higher number of patients than being more patient-oriented. I decided I need a change to a doctor who will be more patient oriented than one who is more interested in padding his pocketbook.

If you want to get better quickly....don't go here! Unless you like waiting months for tests results. Waiting for and then picking up your own referrals for treatment because they can't seem to forward them. It took 8 weeks for testing...following up....referral to PT for treatment. When I should have had treatment immediately for my condition. I'm hoping the delay hasn't caused too much permanent damage. This place is a JOKE!!!!!!! It makes me sick, why oh why did I go here? Please Please stay away!

I have been going to Syms office since 2015 only saw him 2 times. I have fluid, ringing in my ears, loss balance, loss of hearing. I just saw a PA the rest of the time. When I went in April 2019 I asked the PA if they could help and he said no he told me to use nose spray!

I have received decent care from Dr. Syms. I would like to highlight that this practice has an unadvertised rule that they will not transfer you among doctors. While a bit draconian, it is what it is. HOWEVER, that rule is not presented to incoming patients. In my case, I was referred to Dr. King, who had a long waiting list. I elected to see another Syms in the meantime. Now, I cannot see Dr. King for even a 15 minute consultation, unless I 'disenroll' by waiting 3 years.

Misdiagnosed benign positional vertigo and then perforated my round window (causing permanent deafness in my right ear) while performing an unnecessary procedure.

Only doctor I trust with my ear.

I have been seeing Dr. Syms for close to 16 years and have seen his office move and expand. What he has done for my ears has been nothing short of a miracle.

Dr. Syms is a very caring and attentive doctor. He is thorough in explaining what could possibly be going on with me and took the time to actually explain my options.

I will never recommend Dr. Syms to anyone. He is the worst doctor. His bedside manners are horrible. He has damaged my ear. I went to him to have my ears checked. To get tested he took wax out with some type of powered tool. He was such in a hurry to do it that he was dropping his tools. It was so loud that the nurse walked in to ask if he was ok. Since then I have developed tinnitus. I left several messages and no one has called me back. I do not recommend Charles Syms.

I stopped using Dr Syms in 2014 because his physician assistant and the telephone operator would not let me see Dr Syms, on several occasions. On one of my visits, I had a serious ear infection, the physician assistant prescribed a syringe for me to clean out my ear, then I blew a hole in my ear membrane.

Nice, but seems irritated spending time with you answering questions. sorry it may be boring for you, but I'm going through a bewildering new normal for me and I want reassurance, information, empathy and some idea of what may be in store for me for the weeks, months, ahead. Scheduling is terrible, paid parking, even though it's out at the far end of the medical center where you're not really having to compete for space. What I really liked was the audiologist staff; they're awesome

Appears medically competent and has high esteem of himself. Virtually no return calls made to me over many attempts. On one appt I arrived on time for an early afternoon appt when I would be his first patient. He was 45 minutes late. Another appt he cancelled and staff lied about reason. Later staff admitted he needed that time to deal with medical students. Would not recommend him.
