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.

A great doctor, who I was fortunate to be able to see. A extremely skilled surgeon who stays informed and up-to-date and has been invaluable in my treatment plan for a potentially life-changing cancer. I can only highly recommend him to others.

My son needed an office procedure performed and Dr. Langford did an amazing job. His bedside manner is impeccable! He makes you feel very at ease and the procedure was finished before I knew it had started! I will definitely bring my child back to Dr. Langford if we need ear, nose , or throat again!!

Dr. Langford is a thorough and caring doctor. After suffering with excruciating ear pain over the weekend, I went to Urgent Care and got no relief. On Monday I called Dr. Langford's office and was told I may have a 2 hour wait, but they would work me in. I waited less than 30 minutes. Upon seeing Dr. Langford, he took time to suction my ear, my pain was completely gone by the time I left the parking lot. I cannot express my appreciation enough to him and his caring and compationate staff.

AMAZING place - Dr. Langford and staff are the best. I had surgery to remove polyps due to chronic sinus infections 6-8 times a year (i.e. I would be on a Z-pack for a month at a time, it sucked). Surgery was amazing - It took about an hour and when I woke up I COULD BREATHE! A+ 10/10!

Went to see Dr Langford and we have seen him for 3 years. My mother who is 73 has had trust issues with dr's she trusted Dr Langford up until today. She goes to him for trache changes. He informed my mother that him and his PA work has a team and the PA is going to change her trache from this point forward. Or she was welcome to go else where. Very very rude! Would not ever recommend him to anyone. When you have been a specialist that long to where your just hateful. Time to move on

No one took notes of my sharing with him AND his staff my symptoms on multiple visits; he declared I had a hearing loss problem that only a hearing aid would fix. For nearly 2 years I suffered balance problems as a result. I finally searched the internet for vestibular balance therapy on my own. Not one soul in all CEENT would refer me because of HIS diagnosis; so my family physician had to do it to save me. Steel Creek Physical Therapy got me learning to walk again after 2 months of therapy.

I went into Dr. Langford's office under a reference from my regular doctor; with a dark spot under tongue. He was semi concerned and I also told him I have hard time breathing out of my nose. As of now 2 surgeries later he has fixed my Septum in my nose so I could breathe clearly and we are still working on my tongue. So far he is very good at what he does from working with me. Although he is not your regular social doctor he is a (specialist). I trust him this far with my health.

My first visit I waited 1-1/2 hrs to see Dr. Langford. I was terribly dizzy and wanted results from an Audiology test I had taken. It was a waste of time. Dr. Langford came in and asked how the test went. I said fine. What I didn't realize was he hadn't looked at the results from the Audiologist. Then he said Well what did Audiologist tell you? I told him I wasn't sure since I wanted an explanation. I was told I have some hearing loss and vestibular loss, but no explanation as to what it is.

When I went to see Dr. Langford he spent all of 2 minutes in the exam room with my husband and I told him I was undergoing cancer treatment for Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. I was having issues with my mouth and tongue. Without even looking under my tongue he had already diagnosed me with dry mouth and recommended Biotene. Truthfully it has gotten worse.So recently I had it biopsied by another ENT doctor who practices out of CTCA in PA and she diagnosed it Lichen Planus. Which can lead to oral cancer.
