Went and saw a new ear doctor cuz mine retired His name is Dr teng. If it wasn't for the awesome front people I would have walked out This guy was rude and stuck on himself His pride was off the chart Unprofessional and no t an oz of empathy If I ever have to go back and see an ear doc I will not be going to see this egotistical guy Somehow he needs a mark on his license for when it comes. Up On renewing. Hope he takes the money he gets from this visit and takes some people skill classes

The woman that did my hearing test was lovely, dr Teng was however completely devoid of human emotion and seemed like he hated his job or maybe just his patients. He didn't listen to me or act interested for one second. I did not have my problem diagnosed because my ears seem fine with their tests but they are not, it is probably neurological and the dr should be aware of that possibility. Also I am appalled by their entire office being plastered with giant cosmetics surgery adds. A dr's office shouldn't make you feel worse about yourself than you already do. Someone is getting paid to have those stupid adds up and it makes the integrity of the whole business look bad.

Report
The doctor quickly looked in each ear and nostril and told me everything looked normal. I told him I had severe pressure in my ears for months on and off, vertigo, pain in my neck and back, a history of severe ear infections and sinusitis that put me in the hospital for 10 days when I was younger and almost killed me. It was as if he did not even hear me, and told me he was going to prescribe an allergy medication and nose spray even though I told him I have never had allergies.
He did no other tests and seemed in a hurry to move on to the next thing. He also said he would set up a hearing test and perhaps a sleep study, and informed me that those services would reach out to me. It has been a week and I have not heard anything. My issues are still there and getting worse and more frequent.

The check in Lady was positive and helpful. The Doctor was great at explaining his findings, and the nurse remembered my name on the way out. 10/10 experience. I was in and out in 20 minutes.

They make you come a half hour before your scheduled appt and make you think it's at the time they tell you. This happened to me both times. Then their providers are late so you wind up waiting a long time. The reception desk staff spends their time giving you the stink eye and gossiping and when you step up to the counter. you're ignored or rushed. They also don't wear their masks properly Wish there were better choices in this area. I wouldn't recommend these providers or this place. The fish tank is about the only thing I like about this place.
