Report
Dr. Houston is a 5+++++++. He was amazing with my child - kind, patient, attentive - everything I could have wanted and more. The facility is new and clean. Up until my experience with the doctor, and in room staff, I'd rate our appointment a 1. There are nine check-in counters. Immediately giving off the impression that we are numbers, not patients. Trying to have a pleasant conversation with the receptionist that yelled, Next!, I was just handed an ipad.
No time for small talk or human interactions. There was a larger waiting room with a ton of people and we waited just about an hour. Once we met with the doctor, again, he was amazing. But it's always disheartening when an awesome doctor is in an office with an unfriendly staff.

Overall positive experience at Coastal ENT. I could have done with shorter wait times (as with any doctors office). All the staff is competent and friendly. The front desk people have a good understanding of how billing works and willing to talk you through it, which I appreciate because it's my biggest anxiety with going to any doctor.

Dr. Danielle Wall, the audiologist for coastal hearing did a wonderful job giving me a hearing test and adjusting my hearing aids to my new test. She took her time helping me with my phone app explaining what different features where on it. I was extremely satisfied.
