Dr. Loren Bartels, MD

Dr Bartels is one of those individuals that comes into your life and one feels a level of comfort that has seemed to have faded away in today's medical environment. Dr. Bartels takes pride in his work and remains educated in his field with newly performed procedures in treating very complex conditions. Such an impressive and unique man. My daughter was cured of her damaged ear drum because of Dr. Bartels. He patiently discussed our options and we were overwhelmed with sense of relief that what he was telling us turned out to be very accurate and a realistic outcome. And he allowed us a time frame of 6 years to make our decision, while tracking her issue annually to make sure her condition didn't degrade her hearing. And because he is this valued of a physician, yes, expect to wait longer than your appointment time scheduled, he really talks patiently with his patients and never makes you feel rushed. I just hope that God allows Dr. Bartels many more years of his talent and service to us. And I want to also add that his beautiful wife does too. Thank you Mrs. Bartels for allowing your gifted husband to continue his great service to our community and thank you Dr. Bartels taking such great care of my child.

The wait time was terrible. 4 hours past my appointment time. Vestibular PT that was prescribed did not go well for me and Dr Bartel had no answers and referred me back to my neurologist. I lost 6 most in trying to get help for vestibular headaches and dizziness. Not saying he’s a bad Dr but I believe he is overbooked.

Dr. Bartels and his staff are the absolute best. Dr Bartels was the diagnosing physician for my Meneire’s disease. He has treated and managed all of my health issues related to this horrible disease. He has always been extremely compassionate but thorough in all my treatments and testing. There is not another doctor I would ever want touching my ears.

He is a progressive innovator in Cochlear Implants while being a good communicator and kindly in his approach.

I Love Dr. Bartels! He is extremely patient, kind and knowledgeable. He explains everything to you and I have never felt rushed. He saved my hearing with a cochlear implant and hearing aid. The best of the best! You may have to wait for him but he is worth the wait, they also have seen me the same day I had sudden hearing loss and treated me that day.

Dr. Bartels diagnosed me with otosclerosis and performed a stapedectomy procedure on my left ear in September 2021. I am beyond pleased with the results as my hearing loss was pretty substantial but hearing has been restored. Will be performing the same procedure on my right ear in a couple of months. Dr. Bartels has been informative, professional and friendly through the whole process. He is a fantastic doctor and I highly recommend him.

INCOMPETENT STAFF!!

Thorough exam end of December 2020 helped understanding of roaring noise both ears and provided work around to deal with situation. 3rd ENT visited Tampa Bay Area AND THE ONLY ONE WHO PROVIDED ANSWERS. Professional and efficient with excellent personality and compassion.

I have been followed by Dr. Bartels for the last 5.5 years for Meniere's Disease. His treatment completely eliminated my episodes, which were very disabling. When I developed another condition, Vestibular Neuritis, and was hospitalized in 2019, he contacted me himself and adjusted treatment successfully to treat this condition. He is very caring and is an expert in his field.

Dr. Bartel’s is a leading specialist in his field. His knowledge is both current and encyclopedic. He always takes time to communicate his thoughts and transparently dictates his notes in front of the patient.

With the number of people in the waiting room, I expected Dr Bartels to spend 5 mins with me, at the most. It was actually 45 mins! He wasn't in a hurry, and patiently answered all my questions. I guess my only disappointment was that he wasn't able to cure me on the spot, but said the problem would dissipate over the next 6 mos to 2 yrs.

Dr. Bartels is very through. Preforms and reviews test. He recommended therapy. Thankfully the world stopped spinning. He works well with other specialists.

Dr. Bartels is one the kindest and caring people you will fine he truly cares for his patients takes the time and truly understands their hearing issues and a great office staff that make you feel like family

Excellent. Saved the hearing in my husband's good ear by treating for Meniere's with acyclovir. This treatment was internationally known but not known in America. Found the Dr Bartels patient and fully explained condition and treatments.

This doctor is amazing,i moved to Florida in 2015 since than i have had two ear surgery's with DR BARTELS to regain hearing in my left and right ear. I have had four or five surgery's before with not very good results at all. DR BARTELS has done me a WONDERFUL job,i am hearing GREAT !!! This man has changed my life YA HEAR ME !!!

Dr. Bartels is awesome. He was our last hope after two failed ear surgery’s. He not only fixed my daughters hole in her eardrum but rebuilt her a new one and found another issue in her ear tube that was undiagnosed. Seven weeks after surgery and her hearing is almost perfect. She is thriving now!! So thankful we found him.

I made an appointment for a consultation. Two weeks later staff called to ask if I had the MRI done. I said none had been ordered and I did not want one. Coming in only for consult on medical advances for my particular problem. A few days before the appt. staff called asking the same question. I cancelled the appt. Just got billed $50. for a 'no show'. What a nerve! Bad enough staff is incompetent. If only Dr. Bartels knew.

Dr. Bartels diagnosed me with Vestibular Neurosis after years of searching for answers and suffering from this disease. His knowledge and understanding of my disease made me feel much better and not feeling alone about moving forward and coping with my disability in the future. Thank you and your staff for giving me hope.

horrible experience, 1 foot in 1 foot out of the door! No Compassion!

My son had chronic ear infections. Our regular ENT recommended we see Dr. Bartels. After several appointments with Dr. Bartels, my son went from almost requiring hearing aids to about 95% normal hearing. My son will soon be getting the one hole closed from his tubes, the other closed on its own. The journey was long, but the outcome is worth every effort. My son being able to hear at a normal level is priceless.
