While I was planning on selecting a surgeon here in Austin, I did not limit my search to just this city. I looked in all areas of Texas and even beyond. However, once I identified Dr Kemper, I was confident that I had found the best surgeon for my needs regardless of location. To be brief, Dr. Kemper is a fantastic surgeon. He listens well, explains himself and addresses any concerns with honesty and professionalism. Plus, he's done this procedure many, many times and knows exactly what needs to be done. To say "I trust him" is an understatement. I knew that my condition would be taken care of withit Dr Kemper. My surgery was 6 months ago. Not only did Dr Kemper live up to my expectations but I am happy to say that I am better today that I have been in many, many years. My condition is 100% corrected and there are no residual effects from the procedure; even my 8" scar is invisible and no nerve issues with my skin. I cannot thank him enough or recommend him any higher - he's the best. I would also like to thank his staff for their excellent care. Ironically, my condition required the partnership with an Austin Brain Surgeon who is also "Dr. Kemper". While they are not related, they both worked flawlessly as a team, and I am forever grateful. Cheers!

The entire office communication was extremely difficult, I would leave multiple voicemails and not hear back for days and weeks. I was going to have a tonsillectomy as well as sinus and septum surgery all at once to his recommendation, it took almost 2 weeks for them to inform my insurance and when I called to finally schedule he surgery it was more days of waiting for a call back. I had time to seek another opinion, discuss and schedule surgery with another doctor, they called me back the day before my tonsillectomy with my more responsible doctor, who split up the procedures, if not I don?t know how I would recover since the tonsillectomy has put me through the ringer. Nason is money hungry and arrogant. Their office is unhelpful. Do NOT go to this office.

I was able to fill out all my patient forms online ahead of time, so they were completely ready for me when my appointment began. Dr. Young was very understanding of my issue and explained the different options I have for addressing it. This resulted in an in-person visit. I was greeted quickly and very friendly.  The waiting room is very calming; you only hear the light music from the front desk and the hum of the air purifier. The nurse who took me back to the room and took my vitals was very friendly and made me feel welcome.

I was supposed to see Dr. Butler at the Austin Ear Nose and Throat Clinic in South Austin. My…read moreappointment was at 3:30. It was 4:50 by the time I saw a physician's assistant and was released. I was never even seen by Dr. Butler other than him poking his head in the room, staring at me, and hurriedly asking the PA if everything was okay. She asked him if he was going to see me and he didn't even answer. He just shut the door. The PA was really sweet and helped me I guess? (we'll see... I got a steroid shot) When I was leaving I told the billing lady I wanted to make sure I wasn't billed for Dr. Butler's rate because he never even saw me. She asked who saw me and I told her that the PA did. She said they bill the same rate for Dr. Butler and the PA. I also mentioned that I didn't appreciate it that no one ever told me that Dr. Butler wasn't going to have time to see me when that's who my appointment was with. She said "Oh, no one told you he was in surgery today?" (...no, as a matter of fact they didn't... we wouldn't be having this conversation! ) I replied no, that I never got a call nor was I notified when I got there or at any point during my appointment. In fact, the person who did my hearing test kept telling me that Dr. Butler would explain things to me (in response to the questions I asked) and the PA made a comment that he was "all over the place today" and didn't seem to know if he was going to talk to me at all. I won't return. Ridiculous.

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.
