Business Details
We are the physicians of ENT & Allergy Center of Austin, specializing in the treatment of pediatric and adult disorders of the ear, nose, and throat, as well as head and neck surgery. Because allergies can contribute to many ENT problems, we have become pioneers in allergy testing and allergen immunotherapy treatment, including allergy shots and sublingual drops. Our professional staff expertly identifies and treats ear disease, hearing loss, dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders. We provide full audiology evaluations and dispense all types of hearing aids from leading manufacturers.
We use state-of-the-art techniques such as computer-guided sinus surgery and in-office balloon sinuplasty, and we were the first ENT office in Austin to offer this minimally invasive procedure. Our surgeons access 3D CT-scan images during surgery to identify critical anatomic structures. We also treat head and neck tumors, thyroid and parathyroid disease, throat and skin cancers, obstructive sleep apnea, snoring, and voice disorders. With offices in Westlake and Cedar Park, we are committed to delivering advanced, compassionate care to our community.

Report
I had a terrible experience with this center. Beside the terrible wait time when I visited the doctors here, the communication was the problem too. The doctors told me someone gonna call about my drops and there's no call at all after weeks and I had to call them back to ask about the situations. They also never told me about the drop expirations or inform me before throw them away. I definitely never ever come back this place, they have bad reviews for reasons! Update: Now I saw their response with "We have many happy customers". Lol, they also have many unhappy customers that gave them many bad reviews. Good luck!

No one ever answers the phone at this practice. If you manage to get an appointment, the MA will not get all your prescriptions called in!

Report
I had a horrible experience both times in office for post-op visits after an out-of-state meatoplasty. I recently relocated to TX, and ahead of my follow up with Dr. Briggs, my surgeon send all relevant files and information. At my new patient visit none of this information had been processed, or shared with the doctor, and I had to recount my entire medical history to a nurse who didn't understand anything I told him during a rushed five minute appointment where a follow up was scheduled in two-months.
During my second follow up I again had to provide my entire medical history to a nurse who didn't understand what I was sharing, and didn't seem to have any record of my first appointment. Again I was rushed in and out without any conversation or attempt to get to know me as a long-term patient and Dr. Briggs recommended another follow up in two months, as "my deductible should be met by then". Save your money and find a practice that values properly intaking your medical history and treating you like more than a five minute clinic visit.

I would give no stars if I could. A lot of things not normal here. Went in once and the front desk staff were incredibly rude. Dr Briggs saw me for no longer than 5min juggling all the other patients in other rooms, did a hearing test but no real solution to my issue and prescribed steroids to come later again. Then the bill came $972. I took my health and my 'business' elsewhere. There are better ENTs specialists in Austin.

A testimonial from one of our patients: "Rock Star" falls way short in describing your staffs' elegant support this week. Although a call from your staff was a routine task, HOW you responded was light, caring, informative and was sprinkled with oh-so-perfect humor. Thank you for making a difference in our moment of need!" - Marty & Barri
