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.

ENT Department Does Not Pay for Software
Dr. Childress and others in the ENT office at 107 Millsaps Dr Hattiesburg, MS used voice recognition software for over a year and the office refused to pay for it. They paid for several years and then fell behind paying "due to Covid". We agreed to continue the service with the verbal assurance of payment. Now the office states they have no intention of paying.

Extremely disappointed with Dr. Childress. Following NP and Audiologist exams (excellent by the way) Dr. Childress entered the room chewing food, did not introduce himself, no greeting whatsoever, looked at my chart then (in a loud voice) "looks like you need hearing aids, the girls will help out". He left the room no other words were spoken. Thirty second visit. I can never recommend Dr. Childress to anyone.

if I could give this zero stars I totally would. during my appointment, dr childress performed a procedure that involves injecting with the use of a needle inside my nose and i verbally expressed how scared I was of needles. he then proceeded to pull the top of my shirt down, move my bra strap out of the way, and touch my chest/collarbone/shoulder under my shirt where I have 2 tattoos and he said “this can’t be that bad if you can get tattoos, especially right here” (one tattoo on my collarbone area and one on my shoulder) mind you I was wearing a big t shirt and you maybe could see a tiny area of tattoo from the outside of my clothing. i left the building sobbing and i felt extremely violated and uncomfortable. I was supposed to have a follow up appointment but I cancelled it because there is no way in hell i’m going back there.

We had a great experience with Dr. Childress. He is not super chatty but very honest and genuine. He won’t do anything unnecessary. My kids love to see him also. It’s easy to get in and out.

Dr. Childress is wonderful. I appreciate that he is extremely knowledgeable so that his medical advise can be trusted. Somewhat reticent and perhaps a tad shy, but a very skilled and caring surgeon.

Would rather not write about my experiences with Dr. Childress other than not recommend anyone to go see him. Went to the competition (with great results) to avoid ever going back him. Staff great, Dr. Childress not so much.
