Ear still bothered me, but because he didn't see any fluid, said it was fine. I said my other ear also bothered me some, but he blamed it on TMJ. Did some rudimentary hearing testing and said it was fine. I felt like his practice was stuck in the 1950s, and he failed to give me proper treatment as a result. Ended up having to go to a different ENT, who was excellent. Gave me antibiotics and steroids to try to solve the problem. When that didn't work, put tubes in both ears to drain the fluid. This is the best my ears have been in ages.

Way cool!! I love when doctors explain things in a way that I understand, but, at the same time, don't make me feel stupid. He gave us both medical and "non-medical" solutions (raise your bed, watch your diet, and, here's a temporary pill to get you started until everything else kicks in.) I'm a huge fan, and while, yes, I hope this has solved our issue and we won't have to return, I heartily endorse Dr. Blake's " bedside manner" and have no reservations recommending him to anyone else who needs an ENT! He's worth going to even if he is out of your network! Can't get higher praise than that!

Luckily, I had a "Thank You" card with my discharge packet that capture their names (cause that anesthesia be bussin' and causes short term remembery loss...). In all seriousness, the team at Ambulatory Surgery Center demonstrates professionalism and most importantly, compassion from start to finish. For transparency, my procedure was scheduled at the ASC through my GI doctor (Dr. Ali), who maintains a separate practice from the ASC (as far as I understand). Given this fact, the coordination was streamlined. The key here was the communication I received throughout that kept me informed and allowed me to appropriately prepare for the procedure. The digital process for patient registration was very easy to navigate, while the pre-op survey was direct and focused. I continued to receive text reminders along with pre-op instructions to ensure that I was on-track for the big day. ASC is a stand-alone facility; it doesn't share the physical building with any other entity. I find that this made it easy to identify and locate as you're arriving for your procedure. On the day of my procedure, I was promptly checked-in. This process set the tone for the procedure. In my opinion, the thoroughness of this process gave me some peace of mind before the actual procedure. After was I checked-in, the nursing team and staff took care of me the rest of the way until the procedure and post-op. They were super friendly and nice, making small talk to calm some nerves, while tending to each patient's needs. Overall, ASC showcased the dedication that one would expect from medical professionals.

It was dark, and the front entrance had a light that was flickering which gave me vibes of "you can check in but can't check out." Now I can tell you that before going in I was seriously freaking out, and seeing this creepy doomsday light flickering didn't help. Of course I know my mind was playing tricks on my already freaked out brain...but when I walked inside I can honestly say this was the nicest and cleanest surgical center I've had been a patient at. The nurses, the anesthesiologist, and of course the doctor and check in staff were all very kind, understanding, and thorough. They knew I was very very very nervous and were kind and sympathetic to my fears and concerns. They answered all of my questions and my mother's questions too. They even had these little heating devices that blew into the sheets that kept me warm... when I let them know that sometimes I wake up nauseous after anesthesia, they made sure to be proactive about that and I did not have a issue. When I addressed the issue that in a past procedure I had done at a hospital I had developed a complication with the IV site a couple days after release with a hysterectomy they made sure to be proactive in giving antibiotics in the surgical room and also send a prescription home so that would not happen to me with this surgery. Someone also made sure to check in after the surgery to make sure everything was okay and wanted to see if there was anything that I needed. All in all, this surgical center has been absolutely fantastic and all the staff were top notch!!! I definitely can reassure you that if your experience was like mine, your procedure will be smooth sailing from start to finish. Well done there team! A week after surgery, I am still recovering well.

Know your insurance before you go…read more I'll get the bad out of the way first. They don't seem very adept with insurance. I read another review where they messed up charging someone and even then I wasn't prepared when they charged me a copay. We hit our deductible so we shouldn't have paid anything. I asked them to double check and after they did they said we hadn't met our deductible. I was holding a ornery baby so it was easier to pay and then follow up later. I called billing and when they called back they said we only paid about $87 of our $5,000 deductible. Super weird on all accounts since our deductible is $3,000 and we hit that. It makes me wonder what insurance they are looking at. I called my insurance company and verified that we shouldn't have paid anything. The office reimbursed us. The other issue is they didn't sign the second sheet for allergy testing when we went to get blood work done. We were stuck, again with an ornery baby, in the waiting room calling them to fax over the second sheet so they could test the blood for all the different possible allergies. They were super fast about faxing that over so I appreciated it. We saw Dr. Lockey. As another review said, he does have a habit of speaking really fast. I ended up calling the office back after I had time to think through everything with additional questions. When you call with questions you have to leave a VM and the VM tells you that the nurses review the messages at certain times and calls back. You better hang on to your phone so you can pick up that call! Luckily I did and the nurse was super nice answering my questions. Dr. Lockey also sees a couple of people at a time so he is moving back and forth a lot. He is super knowledgeable so even though he is a little pressed for time, I trust his opinion. He also helped me decide to switch my baby back to a different medication even though the GI and pediatrician thought the second one was better. Dr. Lockey's knowledge on the subject gave me the strength to go with my gut, which ended up being the best decision. My son reacted a lot better to the original medication. For this, I am very thankful. Even with the cons, I do believe this is the best allergist we can see.

If I could give this practice zero stars, I would…read more The physician was knowledgeable, but unfortunately the office experience overshadowed any positive aspects of the visit. The administrative staff lacked patience, compassion, and professionalism, and I consistently felt that policies were placed ahead of patient care. If you have a child with special needs, care for a family member with special needs, or you yourself require anything beyond a straightforward, routine appointment, I would encourage you to carefully consider whether this practice is the right fit. Based on my experience and conversations with others, this office does not appear to be well equipped to work with patients whose needs require additional understanding, flexibility, or support. What should have been a healthcare experience became unnecessarily stressful. Patients deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion--especially when they are already dealing with complex medical issues. I sincerely hope this practice invests in additional training for its administrative staff so that all patients, regardless of their individual needs, receive the level of care and respect they deserve.

She summoned the ARNP who was very nice but never saw my son. No exam performed. At the end, they could not even collect my copay (ha) with a credit card. I paid cash and they wrote me a ridiculous receipt that can't be used for any health savings or FSA. Dr. Saba, I highly suggest some quality control measures if your name is on the front door.

Every single person I encountered--and I truly mean everyone--was professional, compassionate, and had an incredible bedside manner. They made what could have been a very scary and overwhelming experience feel calm, supported, and much less anxiety-inducing. I genuinely believe my smooth recovery so far is a direct reflection of how well I was cared for during my stay. This wasn't my first experience here either--I had a same-day procedure about five years ago, and I remember receiving that same high level of care back then as well. The hospital itself is very clean, and I really appreciated having a private room. Another huge plus was that my husband was able to stay with me the entire time. He had a sofa bed, and they even provided pillows, linens, and a blanket for him, which made a big difference for both of us. As a healthcare worker myself, I tend to notice the details--and I can confidently say I was thoroughly impressed. This hospital and its staff truly go above and beyond.
