The front desk team make sure that you feel welcomed. They are very friendly and helpful. The nurse was amazing. Warm and friendly and kind and courteous. Very professional and knowledgeable. She's definitely a keeper. Dr Kansal is by far the best ENT physician I have ever known. I completely and totally trust Dr Kansal with my care. She is absolutely a keeper. At my age I have seen countless Dr's. So believe me when I say she's my ENT. I really appreciate her. She genuinely cares about her patients. Very rare..

During my visit with Dr. Shan Kansal, there were abnormal lymph nodes on both sides of my neck. And when I said something about the lymph nodes on the right side of my neck, she stated, oh, well, we're not worried about that right now. And I really didn't appreciate that because I'm worried about the lymph nodes on both sides of my neck, whether she is or not.

The doctor I seen was just really rude. She came in, act like she didn't want to really be there. And she examined me and told me to go to the emergency because nothing, it's not an ENT problem. She was just not a caring doctor and I would never go back to her ever again.

I like the way the doctor pulled wax from my ear instead of that liquid flush that some doctors use. I will be back for that. Also telling me that I didn't need to have a hearing test which every time it was done Doctors say I needed a hearing aid and didn't go any further and I knew that there was something different from what they were saying because sometimes I could release the pressure by holding my nose and blowing air out for comfort. Now the doctors are saying it's my jawline that is the problem. This is now what I am going to investigate further.

My appointment was scheduled for 12:45 with a message to arrive at 12:30. I arrived @ 12:28 to the front desk with a sign stating "Out to Lunch". I questioned another staff person who was adjacent to the ENT desk and she said the individual was out to lunch and would be back later. How is it possible to not have the desk staffed when appointments are scheduled?
