But when you're trying to figure out what's actually going on, having a doctor who listens and takes the time to explain things makes such a difference. Dr. Meier was great! He was thorough, listened to my concerns, and helped me better understand what could be contributing to my symptoms. He recommended Reflux Gourmet, Nasacort, and the NeilMed Sinus Rinse -- which I already use. I really appreciated his professionalism, patience, and genuine concern. It was reassuring to have someone take the time to look at the bigger picture rather than just focusing on one symptom. Overall, I'm glad I made the appointment and would definitely recommend Dr. Meier to anyone looking for an ENT who takes the time to listen and explain.

I had tried to explain to Josh, that my situation was complicated and needed time to go through it…read more He was incredibly impatient and it was clear he wanted to rush me out of the room. He proceeded to scope me after I had said that I had already been scoped before. This could have been avoided, and it was never explained that this was going to be a significant extra charge. Josh had also denied me surgery - 3 other ENTS afterward had all highly recommended surgery after being significantly more thorough than Josh. Due to Josh's lackadaisical/rude attitude and plain laziness, I now am unable to get the surgery I needed and after I met my deductible. I now am left with a reset on my insurance due to his grotesque negligence, but even after working with the kind office manager, Crystal, he will not budge on removing the charge he placed on my account. I truly do not understand the praise this boy is receiving after the very impatient and heartless attitude that I received/witnessed. Please go anywhere else if you are able - I'd be concerned of misdiagnosis//missing critical aspects of your health due to Josh's attitude problem.

Dr. Lough performed two surgical procedures for me over the last two months. In both cases Dr…read more Lough fully explained why the procedure was necessary and what alternatives were available. Dr. Lough met me in pre-op prior to each procedure to address any concerns I had and contacted my wife immediately after the procedure to confirm that the surgery has gone smoothly. Follow-up was thorough and the results were exactly what I was told to expect. The front office staff was friendly and efficient. Dr. Lough is fast, efficient, diligent and well respected by the surgical staff at Renown. If you need an ENT look no further.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share our experience with Dr. Lough…read more I brought my 12-year-old daughter to this office for an evaluation of chronic snoring that has persisted for several years. She was extremely nervous about the appointment and was visibly shaking when Dr. Lough entered the room. Rather than helping put her at ease, the interaction felt cold and dismissive from the start. When I explained her anxiety, his response came across as sarcastic rather than reassuring. Throughout the visit, I felt that both my concerns and my daughter's concerns were minimized. When I shared observations about her symptoms and experiences from speaking with other parents, I was told that I was "saying a lot of right things, but also a lot of wrong things." The comment felt unnecessarily condescending and immediately shut down what should have been a collaborative discussion. The examination itself was very brief. Dr. Lough noted that my daughter has large tonsils and suggested that she may simply need to "grow into them." While I understand that surgery is not always the appropriate solution, I was hoping for a more thorough discussion about possible causes, treatment options, next steps, or what symptoms we should continue monitoring. Instead, I left feeling as though our concerns were dismissed. What disappointed me most was the lack of bedside manner. Medical expertise is important, but so is communication, especially when working with children who are already anxious about a medical appointment. My daughter commented on the way she was treated as soon as we got back to the car, which reinforced my own concerns about the interaction. I want to be clear that my review is specifically regarding my experience with Dr. Lough and not the office staff. Overall I did not care for the establishment. Unfortunately, based on our experience with this provider, I would not recommend him to families seeking a compassionate, patient-centered approach.

I had results sent the office from the audiologist over a month ago and no one from that office called to tell me what Zamboni diagnosed. Now please tell me how an ENT specialist can diagnose without ever seeing me? I wouldn't step foot in that office and don't bother calling unless you're ready to be verbally abuse by the front office. Stay away. I can see why they have a three star rating.

What's really nice and comforting, is that she also knows the experience of nasolasty herself! Once she set the scope, she saw where it needed to be cauterized.

So a few words about Dr. Hudson:…read more Competent; absolutely, we expect Dr's to be smart and they are licensed, and vetted, but when you are treated by Dr. Hudson you can hear and see his competency in his speech and actions. Good Communicator; no "better than you" speak from Dr. Hudson, he communicates clearly and in a way that you can understand things, when presenting options, he makes it very easy to understand ensuring you are part of the process Comprehensive Team; from the front office to the technical staff, everyone is attentive and efficient, the place is clean and well organized OK, 3 key things you want from your medical care provider. If in need of ENT work, I highly recommend Dr. Hudson.

Three months ago I met with Dr. Hudson and his team and was given three options. Dr. Hudson recommended a sinus balloon dilation. Did the procedure and there was a drastic improvement in my breathing. I am a CPAP user and I no longer need to use sinus sprays before sleep. I just wish I had found this practice earlier but I am so thankful to my primary physician, Dr. Tyhssen for setting it up. Great Doctor and staff and a very happen patient. Never thought I would rave about a medical procedure but this warranted it.

Dr. Stacey Hudson, the lead physician in this practice, is an outstanding physician and an…read moreexceptional person whose professionalism, training, experience, and approach to his work is a true gift to Northern Nevada. His skill and expertise has helped me, my family, and friends. I recommend him to anyone who is suffering from ear, nose, sinus, or throat problems; whether chronic or acute. He is a resource and a calm voice of guidance and action with difficult health issues. I can thank him for the ability to hear after suffering from an undiagnosed mastoiditis infection. I had suffered from dozens of ear infections throughout my life, but two years ago, this one felt different. I had been treated by my primary care doctor and had even gone to urgent care when vertigo, hearing loss, and pain increased despite treatment. Dr. Hudson's receptionist got me in for an appointment quickly. After a brief exam, interview, and in-office CT scan, I was diagnosed with a mastoid infection and scheduled for a surgical procedure. Three weeks into the infection, with conventional antibiotics not effective, I had a 50 decibel differential between ears (one infected, one not). My hearing was not restored after the surgery and took months to return and heal. It was a scary time but I knew everything had been done to ensure my best chance of recovery. Without Dr. Hudson's intervention I am certain I would have suffered permanent hearing damage and progression of the infection. Dr. Hudson has managed complex and challenging conditions for my loved ones, each condition requiring a different set of skills and knowledge. Not only does Dr. Hudson have outstanding technical skill and uses innovative yet scientifically grounded approaches to all ENT conditions, he genuinely cares for his patients. An exceptional, world-class expert right in Reno; a true gift to his patients and community.

After 5 yrs of not seeing Dr. West we call his office to schedule a appt. for the wife and they schedule, take her in for an initial visit, reschedule her for a second visit to go over the tests from the first visit. My wife takes time off work to go to the Appt. only to be asked back in the billing office and told unless she pays a back payment from 2007 of $347 they will not be seeing her today. They apparently sent us to collections in 07' yet we did not get any bills or collection notices from them, we offer to make payments on it and they refuse saying it was not there acct. anymore contact the collection agency. On top of which in 2008 with heavy economic pressures and lack of work we filed chp 7 and all collection debt was discharged. I know they have the right to see who they want, but they could have told us in advance that this was an issue before scheduling the appt. and or called us to let us know they would not be seeing my wife so she did not have to take time off work only to be told go away. This kind of office management only brings down the great work Dr. West does with his patients.

I've also had a nasal turbinate reduction procedure (somnoplasty) to address my chronic sinus infections. Again, Dr. West answered all of my questions and provided excellent care. Dr. West continues to provide superb ENT treatment and is at the top of his field. I highly recommend him.
