Patient Feedback: I…read moresaw this ENT for a minor ear issue. While I don't expect every doctor to have perfect bedside manner, my experience during this visit left me uncomfortable. The doctor asked about my profession, but before I could answer, he interrupted and guessed that I was an administrative assistant. While I've held that role before and respect it deeply, the assumption -- and the way it was delivered -- came across as dismissive and unprofessional. He also explained post-care instructions in a tone that felt overly condescending, including how to avoid getting water in my ear as if I'd never taken a shower before. I came for medical care, not to be talked down to. Additionally, the office staff didn't inform me that the doctor was running 30 minutes behind. A simple heads-up would have gone a long way toward showing respect for patients' time. I recognize that other reviews speak highly of this physician, so perhaps I caught him on an off day. Still, the interaction felt unnecessarily patronizing and left a poor impression. I will not be back. It's also worth mentioning that the office requires a credit card to be kept on file "just in case of charges." In all my years of visiting various doctors, I've never encountered that policy before, and it felt out of step with standard practice.

Dr Kieff seems like a pretty good ENT. The audiologist is very nice and (as far as I could tell)…read morevery competent & thorough. The admin staff, however... For some reason they use both MGB Patient Gateway and AthenaHealth, and it appears that they don't have either one set up properly. As a result, they besiege patients with reminders, confirmations, and early check-ins. Seven calls in less than a week. Text after text. (After STOP after STOP.) Emails upon emails. I called to make an appointment. No sooner had I hung up than the phone rang with their number. Thinking they were calling back to let me know there was a problem or something, I rather foolishly answered. Nope. Automated reminder about the appointment I had literally just made. Productive! And their response? Breathtaking lack of empathy, self-awareness, and responsibility. It's not their fault. Nothing's their fault. Never. Why are you even talking to us about this? Can't you see we're not interested? Twice as frustrating as all the calls and messages combined. "The computer did that, not me." Um, actually, only half the calls were from the computer. The rest were from two of them sitting five feet apart who didn't coordinate. Can't blame the computer for that! "We don't control that." Really? Who do they think controls it? Because we're old enough to see a lot of doctors pretty often in this house, and they're the only ones with this problem. And, as has been elsewhere observed, they have a bizarre obsession with having a credit card on file so they can bill the patient for whatever, whenever. On my first visit, I pulled out my Apple Card (which does not have any visible card information) and they just about lost their minds. They nearly refused to keep the appointment because they couldn't make a copy of it in case they needed to charge me later. (Spoiler alert: they didn't.) They had to get Dr Kieff to make a special exception to their policy. And, as with the notification problem, this appears to be entirely because they don't know and don't care how the technology the practice depends on actually works. While I was in the waiting room, the person ahead of me checking out was complaining about the exact same thing. And they got the exact same dismissive response I eventually got, along with some very unnecessary sarcasm. When my turn came, the minute I told them I was frustrated by this, they sternly told me to leave. (Which I did, never to return.) I think they knew I was going to ask to speak to the Doctor about it since they clearly didn't care. They're also the ones that answer the phones and open the mail. My guess is that while they surely generate a lot of these types of complaints, they're also able to keep those complaints from ever making it to the doctor. So I suspect Dr. Kieff, who, again, seems like a pretty decent ENT, is not aware of much of this. Which is a shame.

I'm someone who usually does a lot of research on any product or service that I buy. But sometimes I don't have the time and skip it, I wished that I hadn't with Dr. Mark Rounds since I have seen that he has a lot of negative reviews on various doctor ratings websites, and now I know why. Dr. Rounds is quite the harsh, brash buffoon of a doctor that doesn't want to take the necessary time to describe surgical procedures or medication side effects or whatever else really. When I had pertinent questions to my orbital "blowout" floor fracture his response was "stop reading up on stuff on the internet" quote-unquote exactly. Later on in the conversation it was the exact same response in another vital question. But for me that is unacceptable. I'm not going to rely on a doctor's decisions 100% without asking him questions on some of them. It is my eyeball and my face that we are talking about so yes I want to know 100% exactly what we are going to do and every ramifications thereof. I feel sorry for any other naïve patient that doesn't want to know all the details of a potential surgery, how can they be that credulous before being cut into. A relationship between a doctor and patient has to be very upfront, candid and open to all the necessary details of one's health condition and surgeries, and you won't find that kind of genuine sincerity with Dr. Mark Rounds.

Dr. LoVerme listens to what the patient wants. And I have found him to be very patient centered. I had as nose job, a face lift focused on the lower half of the face, and a laser peel 18 years ago. Originally the nose job was cosmetic, but when he opened me up it flipped over to medical because my septum was shaped like a "C" When the hospital found out and I was paying for it, and it was now classified as "Medical" they tried to up the hospital fee by 900%. Dr. LoVerme told them to back off and leave me alone, they grumbled about but they did. Dr. LoVerme has since installed a fully equipped certified surgical suite in his office so there is no hospital fee for most of the procedures he performs. Thereby saving the patient a lot of money. I have since had an upper face lift, liposuction and two laser peels I am going in to have my brow reshaped. He could have very easily agreed with me about doing a procedure that would have cost me about $4-5,000. Instead he recommended using a less invasive and considerably less expensive procedure to inject a permanent filler to achieve the same results.
