Let me preface this review by noting that I've been blessed with great health, so my experience in dealing with physicians and doctors offices has been pretty limited - but I just can't think of any way that my experience with Dr. Cameron and his staff could have gone any better.
Dr. Cameron came very highly recommended to me by Dr. Andreozzi, another well-respected and highly-esteemed ENT doctor in Rhode Island. I had a rare condition in my throat that required surgery, and I was told by Dr. Andreozzi that Dr. Cameron was one of the few surgeons in Rhode Island (if not the only one in the state?) who could perform the surgery endocsopically - without any external incision - which of course would be way less invasive and yield a much quicker recovery time, and much better success rate, than the traditional incision method. Sold!!
His staff arranged for me to get an appointment to see him much quicker than I would have expected, and everyone who I dealt with over the phone was warm, friendly, and courteous. When I arrived to see him, I was really impressed with the overall tone of the office. I got the feeling from all of the admin staff that I dealt with that they were genuinely happy where they were (and it wasn't even Friday!) and that they were happy to be helping people. In my opinion, that morale is pretty remarkable - it's something I'm just not accustomed to!
I was seen right on time and Dr. Cameron took his time to fully listen to my concerns, and he explained everything in great detail, complete with a very impressive freehand drawing (good to see a steady hand first hand!). He even offered to show me some photos of the procedure but I opted out for obvious reasons. His sense of humor greatly helped to calm my nerves and I was able to get an appointment for the surgery within about a week after visiting him - I had anticipated it would have been weeks if not months for this to happen!
The courtesy, warmth and professionalism of the staff that I dealt with continued into the pre-op as well as day of operation. Lisa thoroughly guided me step by step through the whole process at the pre-op and did an AMAZING job of calming my nerves. Post op, I called the office with a couple of questions, and Dr. Cameron personally returned my call within the hour and didn't rush me through the conversation.
I'm writing this review not even three full days after the operation, with a delicious pulled pork, pickle and avocado sandwich staring me in the face. No more mushed food! I just can't believe how quickly the recovery process has been!
I would recommend Dr. Cameron and his staff at ENT Associates of Westerly to anyone with ear, nose or throat needs. Plus, Westerly is a great little town to visit - I'll certainly be back to the area to do some beaching and shopping! read more
