Jun 15, 2022
He has been the only clinician in my entire ENT patient history to tell me my issues are "panic attacks". I have an incredibly lengthy history with the clinic and have had multiple providers throughout my time. I have found issues in my ears before they have, but I have never had anybody blame it on my mental illness. If was so incredibly disappointing and degrading.
