I was able to make an appointment on short notice. Dr. Nason was calming, caring, and considerate. He never talked down to me. Fortunately, the problem turned out to be only impacted wax. Meanwhile, however, he also had my hearing rested by an audiologist in his office, who was extremely helpful in suggesting ways to deal with my existing hearing loss. I'll see Dr. Nason for any future hearing issues and any other issues within the scope of his expertise. I recommend him and his whole office highly.

My father was in the hospital and they referred me to Dr Nason. This doctor's name was written on his discharge paperwork. I filed out the appointment form online with all the information, including his diagnosis/hospital info/and that the hospital wrote a referral. Someone called me a few days later and set him up an appointment for 3 1/2 weeks later. 24 hours before the appointment, they called to say this doctor won't see him for his diagnosis. My father has been suffering for over 3 weeks waiting to see this specialist. They refused to take any accountability for the situation or admit they put his health in danger. The office manager told me this is not their fault and blamed the ER. Then she blamed the call center schedulers. Completely unprofessional to shift the blame to your employees and then tell you it's not her problem.

PSYCHOLOGICALLY DAMAGING CRUEL DOCTOR. PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE Dr. Slaughter caused me…read morePSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGE I'm trying to recover from. Originally I went for a sinoplasty and turbinate surgery in may 2024, and it turned out to help. But the follow up was awful and I didn't get to see the doctor at any point after my first visit even tho I had a bad recovery from it and they wanted to see me for a second follow up I still didn't see Dr. Slaughter. Fast forward to yesterday. I had been experiencing vocal cord pain that wasn't strep and as a professional singer that is scary. I went in because he was my ENT before and I figured I'd go to the same one. He never once came in to see me. They told me they planned to do something where they shove a camera up my nose and into my vocal cords to check. They didnt do this but instead they put it in my mouth. The camera took a video (which I included a picture of what they showed me because they wouldn't send me any information about what was going on in my throat for some reason). After they took the video I figured that Dr slaughter would come in to detail that I had something in my throat but it was minor. Instead the PA came back in and told me I had 2 unidentifiable growths on top of my vocal cords that they needed to remove to ensure they weren't cancerous. I asked if they were just polyps (which I know can be somewhat normal) but she said no, and that they needed to remove the growths as soon as possible to check for disease aka throat cancer. So at this point I'm freaking out because I turned 35 a few days ago and having cancer at this age is horrible and abnormal. I'm also confused why Dr. slaughter wouldn't be the one to relay this very abnormal and sensitive information. They make me go to the surgery scheduler and it's like the movie where I'm just hearing ringing in my ears and agreeing with everything. I'm alone and scared and sad and traumatized all at the same time. As I'm driving home I have a revelation to get a second opinion. The video was not the best and the PA even go as deep into my throat as she could go. (Ie through my nostrils and they are already jumping to excising a tumor). I call another ENT dr. Chad whited and this office hears me loud and clear and squeezes me in same day. I go to his office and they do the scope through my nose and into my throat. He finds something called a "granuloma" which the name immediately scares me. He tells me not to worry and that it's from vocal cord overuse, and that less than 1% of them are cancerous. He also said I clearly have acid reflux (which I didn't think about it effecting my vocal cords much which seems dumb now). He says that my granuloma needs to be checked on in 2 months but until then do as much vocal rest as I can and basically to only drink water as I take some medication to get my acid reflux in check. I see the 2 dots that Dr. Slaughters PA found which are different from the granuloma, and ask what they are. Dr. Whited says oh don't worry that's mucus. It's... mucus. The "unidentifiable growth" that I had to get surgically removed to test for cancer according to Dr. slaughter... is mucus. I then find out that Dr. Slaughter pulls this type of stunt with multiple patients, overcharging them for things they don't actually need, and is only ever present on the first visit to act like he is present all the time, but he is not. Yesterday going from thinking I was dying of cancer to learning I need to take an over the counter medication and hydrate was easily one of the toughest of my life, and all could have been solved if Dr. Slaughter would have done his job with the right instruments and actually shown up for the appointment I scheduled with him. I forgot the mention they gave me a CT scan of my sinuses that I refused multiple times (because my issue was my throat) then they tried to charge me an extra 150 dollars for it. I was able to get it comped but the front office worker Destiny has the gall to tell me I can refuse anything at anytime. Dr. Slaughter psychological damage I'm trying to recover from.

I appreciate that Dr. Fyfe tries to avoid surgery, if possible. But, if you do end up needing…read moresurgery, I recommend getting a second opinion before you move forward with surgery. Dr. Fyfe performed my surgery in March (balloon sinuplasty and "roto rooter" holes). The surgery required general anesthesia, and recovery from the "roto rooter" was long and painful. After recovery, I felt great for about 6 weeks. Then, in May I got a sinus infection and took antibiotics. In June I got another sinus infection, another follow up, and more antibiotics. In July...another sinus infection. After that, I sought another opinion, and found that there are more modern and effective procedures that do not require cutting holes (the "roto rooter") and do not require general anesthesia. I had another procedure done last week to fix my sinuses (the holes Dr. Fyfe made weren't draining properly) and it has been a much easier recovery so far. Only twilight sedation was needed, and it was done in-office instead of in a surgery center. I feel more confident now that my infected days are over, but I wish I would have gotten a second opinion before surgery with Dr. Fyfe so that I could have avoided the permanent and unnecessary holes in my sinuses.

Seriously, he was so knowledgeable and he actually listened to me!! I liked the handheld camera he gave me so I could see what he was looking at in my ear. I did however proclaim it to be gross, haha. When a doctor takes the time to show compassion and provide treatment, it's amazing. And quite frankly the way it should be. All of these years I thought I knew it all with regard to my ear issues. However, now I'm actually fully educated thanks to Dr. Chu. I need to give a shoutout to staff, his son (I think he's the office manager) and the front desk employee were just fantastic. Super friendly and professional.

She did a head CT that revealed a deviated septum, and referred me to Dr. Wassmuth. I was quite impressed by the kindness, courtesy, and professionalism when I first visited the office of Capitol Otolaryngology. Dr. Wassmuth examined my nose and suggested balloon sinuplasty with turbinate reduction. After much trepidation, I scheduled the surgery, which is done in-office. The process of fixing my nose didn't take all that long. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Jack Carsner, was excellent, as were all those I met in the operating room. The procedure apparently went off without a hitch, and my husband drove me home where I rested the remainder of the day. Within a day or so I was feeling much better. I am still considered to be recovering after a week, but have already experienced noticeable improvements in my breathing. My husband says my snoring was virtually gone within a day after the procedure. I've had a variety of seemingly-minor health concerns, that when put together, have led to other problems. Snoring, dry mouth, dental issues, and poor sleep quality turned out to have (at least in part) had a common root cause in breathing problems. Hopefully all will improve or resolve before very long. If you have any kind of breathing problems, including snoring and symptoms like dry mouth when you awaken, you may benefit from a visit to Dr. Wassmuth. I highly recommend his medical practice.

The medical assistants conveyed the correct answers everytime. Dr Shephed told me what to expect in advance and he and his peeps delivered as promised.

While I was awaiting surgery on the day of the procedure, I heard Dr. Dammert and others in the prep area comforting and entertaining a scared young child across the way from me who was also awaiting surgery.
