From the minute I arrived until I left, the staff were helpful, knowledgeable and professional. Check-in was fast and easy. The medical assistant was friendly and efficient. Unfortunately I don't remember her name, please let her how much I appreciate her care. Stephanie Watson was amazing, she eased my concerns and was so gentle to my sore ear. Jacqueline McLeod! Wow! I needed to have a scope done (I hate those things!) She was so gentle and the procedure was quick. Less than 24 hours and I feel much better. I am so impressed with the care I got. I highly recommend this medical group.

He is fun, patient, informative and took his time with my child. I love that he wanted us to do more tests before jumping the gun for a tonsillectomy. Wait time is a bit of an annoyance but I expected it. My appt was at 11:10 and was not seen until 12. There were a ton of people being seen on a Monday. Check in was easy. The front desk staff gave me a tablet of some sort instead of paperwork to fill out. I was even able to pay via table so it made it east. The clinic was a bit small but I expected it. My expectations werent high but glad I went.

He also told his staff, which were great by the way, "Don't send her a link to post a review". In hearing that, now I have to wonder how many 5 stars are actually that many, since those he doesn't get a long with aren't allowed to post a review. Now that makes me wonder about the whole "rating" platforms as a whole. I will be sending Dr W an entire chapter from a medical book of to get him up to speed on what he doesn't know and what he belittled me in. I hope this will help him to not only treat patients kinder, but also have actual medical knowledge on a subject he knew nothing about.

1 Star I rarely…read moreleave 1-star reviews, so when I do, it means I was genuinely dissatisfied with my experience and would not return. To be fair, I had a positive experience with Dr. Taffet, and my son's ear tube surgery at St. Joseph's went very smoothly. However, the repeated issues I encountered with the front office staff and communication ultimately overshadowed the positives. My first experience with the office set the tone. I arrived 7 minutes late due to traffic within their parking lot while trying to manage a sick one-year-old with a 101-degree fever from recurrent ear infections and a very active two-year-old. I understand that I was late and that office policies must be followed, but the front desk employee was extremely dismissive and showed no empathy for the situation. I was turned away and told to come back later that afternoon. Another concerning experience occurred 15 days after my son's ear tube surgery. He developed what we later learned was an allergic reaction to anesthesia. When I called the after-hours line on a Saturday, I was told they only assist patients who are within 14 days of surgery. After explaining the situation, the representative eventually agreed to help but repeatedly stated that she would "get in trouble" for doing so. As a worried parent, that was not reassuring. The most frustrating experience involved my son's ongoing ear infections after tube placement. Multiple antibiotics had failed, and I left a voicemail explaining that I work night shift, sleep during the day, and I asked that my husband be contacted ASAP. No one called him that day. When I woke up and called the office, I was met with some of the rudest customer service I have experienced in healthcare. I was given no help before the office closed. My son spent the entire night awake and crying from an untreated ear infection. The next morning, we were simply told to use Ciprofloxacin ear drops that we ALREADY had at home. This information could have been communicated in under two minutes the evening before and would have saved my son a painful night. My baby developed full body hives immediately following his surgery, and we thought the cause was the Cipro ear drops, so that's why I was hesitant to give them. Turns out it was just the anesthesia, but we had no way of knowing that until we tried the Cipro drops again. I have worked in healthcare for 10 years, and what stood out most throughout these experiences was the lack of communication, empathy, and basic customer service. While I appreciated Dr. Taffet and had a positive surgical experience, the repeated issues with the office staff and follow-up care were significant enough that I would seek a different ENT provider in the future.
