Um, I just wanted to say, um, I thought that the, the staff from the front office staff from check-in to, um, the nurse, um, that did our intake inside the exam room to the doctor, um, everyone was, was a pleasure. To be around and courteous and polite, and they seemed to really, you know, care and were able to put my son at, who was nervous about his appointment at ease. So I really, really appreciate that. Um, And I'm very pleased with the visit. So thank you very much.

Dr Kansal listened to my concerns and what I had been doing to address the symptoms. She promptly examined me and expeditiously diagnosed what the issue was and what caused it. Her assessment resonated with me. She provided instruction and assigned a prescription. I was in and out in no time. She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, concise, professional and efficient.

Dr. Kansal is amazing ! I was very nervous. She was patient , kind and friendly. She explained my concerns. When my visit was complete I was so relieved I asked her if I could give her a hug. The entire staff is amazing from the front desk to the back . I will definitely recommend Dr. Kansal to anyone look for an ENT.

Went into the office, I really had a great visit. I just want Dr. Kansal to know that I truly appreciate the care that I received from her. She seemed genuine, interested, and she allowed me to talk. She knew I was afraid, and she tried to take care of my worry. Thank you. Have a great day.

My visit was very short and altho I did not feel rushed it didn't feel as complete to me for what I needed to be done. I had some concerns about a procedure to be done which were reassured somewhat by Dr. but more focus was getting me in to have it done. I was given a paper to call to schedule and no info I felt needed, as to who will be doing it and how. For the amount of money for that visit I really didn't feel I got enough information. I am unsure who will be performing this procedure and the process. I am unsure if I want to put my trust going blindly into a procedure that I am still feeling uneasy about.

Only criticism is to have been given a few do's and don'ts during my recovery period (I forgot to ask). Outside this, every single person in the Vinings ENT office was outstanding! Highly recommend!!

I appreciate the speediness of the appointment, but I wasn't able to explain all my problems and don't feel like anything was really done for my issue but told to go another specialist. I actually don't like that I have to keep reaching out in regards to meds and instructions on what to do. I understand the nurse responding but the Dr never responds to my messages.

She showed such empathy that it brought me to tears. So I thank you for having someone such as she working for this establishment.

Dr. Kansal is amazing ! I was very nervous. She was patient , kind and friendly. She explained my concerns. When my visit was complete I was so relieved I asked her if I could give her a hug. The entire staff is amazing from the front desk to the back . I will definitely recommend Dr. Kansal to anyone look for an ENT.

Dr Kansal listened to my concerns and what I had been doing to address the symptoms. She promptly examined me and expeditiously diagnosed what the issue was and what caused it. Her assessment resonated with me. She provided instruction and assigned a prescription. I was in and out in no time. She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, concise, professional and efficient.

Um, I just wanted to say, um, I thought that the, the staff from the front office staff from check-in to, um, the nurse, um, that did our intake inside the exam room to the doctor, um, everyone was, was a pleasure. To be around and courteous and polite, and they seemed to really, you know, care and were able to put my son at, who was nervous about his appointment at ease. So I really, really appreciate that. Um, And I'm very pleased with the visit. So thank you very much.
