    I have a lot of experience with various ENT practices, and most of them are generally unfriendly…read moreand uninformative. However, this place changed my mind about that, they are so kind and helpful and nonjudgmental. I felt sick during an appointment and the staff with the extra mile to make sure that I felt OK enough to get through the appointment without any shaming or rushing me! I highly recommend this practice and will be returning, I had a fantastic experience with the doctoral student there as well.

    Be very careful if you use this clinic, as their billing/insurance practices are VERY suspicious…read moreand warrant review. After obtaining a medical hearing exam from a physician showing that I need hearing aids, I contacted Sonoran ENT for an appointment to discuss purchasing the devices from them, as they are a "preferred" provider for my insurance company and my insurance would cover $5000 in cost for the aids with no "out of pocket" to me. Sonoran ENT office staff informed me at the time I made my appointment that they would charge me $100 for my appointment, but that amount would be credited to the cost of the hearing aids when I purchased them. My appointment with the audiologist consisted of her showing me a brochure with her recommended choices and the costs of those options (all in excess of $4,000). When I told her that my insurance would pay up to $5,000 towards the cost, she warned me that often they (Sonoran ENT) are only paid $3,100 by insurance companies, and since that amount does not cover the entire cost of the hearing aids, the customer must sign a document at the time of ordering stating that they will pay the balance. I left the clinic and immediately contacted my insurance company and verified with them that my benefits would cover the cost of the hearing aids up to $5,000. The insurance representative called Sonoran ENT and spoke to the office manager to assure her that my policy would pay for hearing aids costing up to $5,000. The office manager informed the insurance representative that they (Sonoran ENT) are only willing to invoice my insurance for $3,100, and if I want to buy the hearing aids, I need to sign the document promising to pay the balance out of pocket (which in this case would be a minimum of about $1,400). The office manager stated that if I am not willing to do that, then I should not buy my hearing aids from them. What I learned is that it is not my insurance company putting the lower benefit amount on my purchase. It is Sonoran ENT manipulating the process to benefit their bottom line. Also, I paid $100 to Sonoran ENT to be shown a brochure and to be told: "Sorry, we will only take part of what your insurance will pay for hearing aids, and you have to pay us the balance." Make sure you ask questions up front about their billing practices. I feel completely cheated out of $100. I did immediately contact another clinic in town who was more than happy to contact my insurance provider to verify the $5000 coverage amount and to fit and sell me a pair of hearing aids that are priced within that benefit amount and will be paid 100% through my policy. CAVEAT EMPTOR!!! There is something fishy with the insurance billing process being conducted by Sonoran ENT.

    Cannot evaluate how this place gives care to people because I never was able to even get a response…read morefrom them. I am scheduled for a appointment today which I needed to reschedule because I have a cold. I have been trying to call them sincelast Friday. They don't respond, they don't answer their phones, they don't even put you on hold, and if they put you on hold you you sit there for two or three hours . Evidently the patient is not a priority with this company. I am going to have my PCP give me a new referral to elsewhere. I'm sorry they were not able to fit someone else in my slot, but if I cannot notify them, if they don't respond that's on them.

    5 stars, all the way. Dr. Soderberg and Dr. Chastain are the first physicians that really listened…read moreto me in over a year and a half, and ultimately helped me receive treatment for what turned out to be CANCER. They are fantastic doctors. When Dr. Soderberg felt he was not the right fit for what we found out after some diagnostic imaging, he referred me over to Dr. Chastain within the same practice. I felt this showed great respect for me, my time, and my health. The staff is professional, polite, and efficient to the best of their abilities. There are some things they may not be able to assist you with, and if so they refer you to the proper person in the practice and transfer you over, or explain what the other options are. The main complaint I see is about wait times or delays in being able to schedule appointments. Nobody wants to wait in the office or for scheduling... however, it's a medical office, and the entire medical field is understaffed all around these days and has been for years now. On appointment days (I've been in 6 times since Sept. 2022) I waited no more than 20 minutes in the front waiting room, and no more than 5-10 in the exam room every time I went in. That's pretty average, or even better than average, compared to any medical office I've been in in the last 3-5 years.

    Rude staff. Rude doctor. LISTEN TO THE REST THE REVIEWS - find a different doctor…read more I constantly had issues with, Laura (the manager) and I should have just found another PC - but I just thought "yeah they're rude, but I can deal with that because I can make appointments relatively fast". A mistake that's now cost me health, money and a lot of time. They didn't submit the proper documentation to my insurance on time - even though I called and asked multiple times - each time I was met with a rude tone, as if "we're not stupid - don't ask us again". Well, my insurance confirmed that the office ignored multiple phone calls and faxes trying to get it covered. They lied and wouldn't even try to help resolve the issue - then calling the company that she works for - they couldn't care less. They "looked into" my issues and found no problems. They wouldn't talk to my insurance or care to look at the evidence - they said "we talked with Dr Gallo's staff and everything was done properly". No, it wasn't and that's why I'm not liable for THEIR referrals - because they wouldn't submit it within the timeframe needed and lied about it. We choose professionals to do things like that because it's a complex deal understanding the processes and policies involved. They don't act professional and it's as if they enjoyed my issues - both Dr Gallo and Laura. I'm going to sue them because it's cost me months of treatment, a financial loss and countless hours of my life - not to mention the stress it's put on me. Run away - don't walk - this office is only interested in your money.

    First let me say, Im an asthmatic so imagin my suprise when this doc recently refused to refill my…read moreasthma meds...and her staff had the nerve to call me and tell me that my most recent request for asthma meds was, "inappropriate". They never even inquired if I was okay.... wow!!! (Patient for more than 5 years) The staff are horribly rude, Renee has been nice and personable at most visits, but she can be rude paticularly when you ask her to work with other practitioners, except those that are her friends of course. She set up a referral with an equally as expensive doc, her friend, who was rude and incensitive! When I decided to go to another doc for a 2nd opinion, her office wouldn't share all of my medical information even though I'd signed the releases, but she shared all my info with her friend. The final straw was when I asked to pick up a copy of my full file and her admin told me nobody at the office could do this until Monday. Im like its just making copies and the staff becomes upset and says, "Ms. I'm working the front desk so I don't have time to do this and I don't deal with medical records..." I stayed with her for years because she really used to be great! She would spend time with patients, her staff were funny and warm. She, ironically now, helped stabilize my asthma and for that I am still grateful. But later when she opened her own practice and she and her staff became rude, inattentive and incensitive, I stayed because I really didn't have any health problems, she was close and i could get in quickly despite the snide comments about my health condition made in front of UA interns! But NO MORE! Im getting a new doctor who will provide asthma medications to asthmatics! She gets 2 stars because they get you in quickly and I know there's a good doctor inside her, though I have not seen the good one since she opened her own practice. Do yourself a favor, look at the google reviews and find another doctor.
