Dr. Mark Covington, MD

I don’t feel that you should have to ask an ENT to also look at your ears and throat. It’s only after I asked he checked my ears and gave me medication. No real information I walked out not knowing if I needed a follow up. They said no and told me where the exit was. Will not be returning.

Where to start? Front desk lady was incredibly irritated because we couldn’t move our appointment up earlier in the day because of cancellations. We were 5 minutes late because we got lost (completely my fault). When we got there she had the waiting room lights off and a note on the door saying they closed early. She let us in (her purse was on the desk and she was ready to leave! Took us quickly to a room after I apologize for being 5 minutes late. Nurse comes in and firs her thing, she was the nicest of the group. Dr. Covington comes in, never introduced himself, looks in my sons ears and throat one time and says he probably has a chronic sinus infection. Antibiotics and we were done. He was in there no longer than 4 minutes. Absolute joke.

I found Dr. Covington to be quite good. I liked his no nonsense approach. He answered my questions directly and clearly. He has excellent knowledge of his subject and excellent skills. He was readily available for appointments, explained procedures to me and made me feel comfortable. I would recommend Dr. Covington to friends and family for an office visit or for surgery.

I saw Dr. Covington after completing a sleep study and then referred to him by my doctor. He came in the room, looked at my ears, nose and throat, then said I should get a mouthpiece for my snoring. It all happened about as fast as you took to read that last sentence. He recommended a mouthpiece instead of a CPAP, even though my sleep study showed I needed the CPAP. I finally talked him into the CPAP. He didn't listen to my needs and seemed very short. I was not impressed at all.

Saw him Oct. 5, 2017. He honed in on 1 thing & didn't hear anything after that. He walked me to the assistant area, told them to order me a sleep test, then just walked off. No "we will call you when we get the results or what. Assistant would not return my calls. I finally complained to the operator and she got her on the phone. Said she'd left me a voice msg. NOT! Said she would send orders to get cpap. After a week, left complaint with off mgr who didn't call me but got orders sent.

Did a terrible job in listening to my concerns. He came in with his diagnosis before even examining me. And his "examination" was to look in each nostril and send me on my way. I left in tears. Will NEVER visit this doctor again.

Willing to take the time to explain my diagnosis
