He was wonderful, but he hasn't been in Odessa for 30+ years. He saved my life when I had reactions to the allergy tests he was giving me. I ended up in the hospital. read more

I had just moved to West Texas from the DFW area and was suffering terrible sinus pain and…read morepressure. I visited family doctor and was put on 2 rounds of antibiotics and steroids without any success. Because of my extensive history with sinus infections and the fact that this was my 9th round trip to the doctor that year, she suggested I try an Ear, Nose, Throat specialist and recommended Dr. Traxel. I called the extremely helpful front office and had an appointment within 2 days. His office has a funky decor going on, it's in need of a facelift, but hey when you're sick and the office clean, I'm not going to worry about looks! Dr. Traxel took one look in my nose and said, uh huh, you have a deviated septum that I can't even see passed. He was surprised nobody had noticed before. He scheduled a CAT scan and suggested surgery, in the meantime he vacuumed my sinuses and ears to help relieve the pain I was in and gave me some medication. Even though Dr. Traxel was a great surgeon, I did have some complications and his office fit me in within 15 minutes of my calling. The billing process is very easy to understand and his office staff does their best to save you money with your insurance. I would highly reccommend visiting with Dr. Traxel if you have any sinus, ear or throat problems!

Biggest complaint a year in is that the company sending the drops is a week short!!! This is terrible if you depend on the drops. And it shouldn't happen- I paid $1500 to do this for 3 years? I got a text confirming they would be sending, still haven't received them & I am out. You can see a few drops in the bottle but you can't get them out they are so low!

Would give 0 stars. I intentionally waited until I was contacted to post this review…read more I called on Monday, Dec. 7th to schedule an appointment for 8:30am Wednesday, Dec. 9th. The appointment was confirmed over the phone. I was attempting to get a COVID Test done. I arrived about 8:05am Wednesday morning to allow time to fill out paperwork, get "checked-in" and follow proper protocols. After taking my insurance only, I was told that my test would be done in my car and that I would need to wait for a call from one of the nurses to get in the car line. I was also told the nurse would take my paperwork that I had filled out. At 9:30am, I had not received a call, so I called back just to verify that I was supposed to be waiting in my vehicle and make sure I didn't miss anything. I was told again to wait for a call. I continued to wait until 10:30am and never received a call. My paperwork was still in my possession. I drove into the car line, and asked one of the nurses, whom I had NOT spoken to before, if I made a mistake and that I had not yet been called for my appointment that was scheduled for 8:30am. She informed me that because I scheduled with such short notice (two days prior) that my appointment was being treated like a walk-in and that appointments made with that timeframe don't really count. She then said, "I'll go ahead take your paperwork and just wait for a nurse to call." I called another physician while still waiting (First Physicians/Wendover Family Medicine) and was able to schedule a time at 2:15pm, SAME DAY. I left this office just before 11:00am, nearly THREE hours after my scheduled appointment. I NEVER RECEIVED a call/text/email from ANYONE at this office until TODAY, December 18th. 9 DAYS LATER. I received and missed a call TODAY (18th) @ 12:17pm and called back @ 12:20pm. 3 minutes later, the person that contacted me was: "Unavailable and out to lunch and we'll have her call you back." I waited until 3:00pm for somebody to call back. Still Nothing. I initiated a callback MYSELF @ 3:13pm and was met with another, different contact. I simply said I was returning a missed call and gave my name. I was told, "Oh, they were trying to figure something out but they got it taken care of." I quickly mentioned that I TRIED to visit over a week and was never seen or contacted. She said "Yes, that's what it was, sorry about that. Have a good day." Zero remorse, zero effort, zero service. Seriously, go somewhere else.

It already took 45 minutes just for the technician to see me, and I thought the optometrist would surely see me soon after so I continued waiting. I should have left. I finally left 2 1/2 hours later. They don't respect your time. When the doctor finally met me, he insulted my glasses. He also didn't ask my goals for the appointment. Multiple times I had to correct him that I was not interested in glasses, I wanted contacts. I also received an an incorrect prescription. The prescription gave me a headache, which I told them about. They told me to try it out and it might have just been because I waited long. I still have a headache after multiple attempts of trying the new prescription. They also made numerous clerical mistakes and called me multiple times when I said I would be busy. They called me multiple times to confirm. I returned their call a few hours later, but they continued to call because they made a mistake copying my insurance down which I confirmed with them a week prior. I noticed several other mistakes they copied wrong. I'm not sure if they are even trying. I would go somewhere else.

When I first tried to wear contacts I couldn't put them in and he told me I had the worst case of "pokophobia" he'd ever seen. OTOH, when I came to him because I woke up with terribly blurred vision he sent me to an Eye Clinic for a more in-depth examination, and when they could not find the cause he sent me to a retinolologist who found that I had suffered a stroke in my eye. He was able to treat me and although it took some time, today I have almost the same level of vision I had before the stroke. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Schitoskey. If he is subbing for other drs. in his retirement, rest assured, you will be in great hands.

When you're in the business of dealing with people, it's nice to seem like you like them and enjoy what you do. Smiling and eye contact helps. I wasn't treated horrible or anything like that. This is just a platform for honest opinions of places. The staff were not inviting and next time we will not make this place our eye care choice. Besides that.. I was in and out fairly fast.
