I remain unimpressed with the ENT's that I have come in contact with. House Clinic in Los Angeles is supposed to be the ENT Mecca. I had one ENT that said, "in cases like this, we inject steroids into the ear." When I questioned him about what was "the Case like this" (meaning I wanted a diagnosis)....he got upset and walked out of the exam room. The 2nd ENT did not exam me but sent me to a third for a second opinion. The third ENT since I was sent for a second opinion gave me the second opinion but did not treat. LOL No, not impressed with ENT at the lease. Must be an easy Residency program!

@kndaustin71 -

The ENT world is a very slippery slope to get into as a patient. Many ENT issues are subjective and it is very hard to pinpoint a patients sensory/subjective symptoms.

There is very little research in the ENT world due to this.

They are surgeons that are incentivized to cut. Every person should be very cautious before having an ENT run any type of scan or X-RAY.

ENT (surgeons) are considered the bottom feeder surgeons of hospital/clinic settings because there surgeries are elective/not life saving and a guess at best.

Unless removal of a tumor/cancer.

Other than that if they want to remove normal bones, tissue etc…be very cautious.
