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.

Very caring doctor
He explains things so well that you are comfortable with his procedure.

Informative, thorough exam
I received a very thorough exam, including a hearing test. All staff were pleasant and Dr. Thompson took the time to explain the test results in detail. He answered all of my questions and gave me helpful info on how to prevent future ear issues. I wish all doctors were this attentive to their patients.

Excellent experience.
Dr. Thompson was very impressive. Wait time was short and he was concise, professional and explained what he was going to do. He provided excellent feedback on current prescriptions I’m taking and suggested modifications based on possible interactions with other drugs. Great communicator, technician and highly recommend anyone who needs ENT care.
