    If you're looking for an ENT or even considering whether or not to see one, I highly recommend making an appointment with Dr.

Dr. Fyfe performed my surgery in March (balloon sinuplasty and "roto rooter" holes). The surgery required general anesthesia, and recovery from the "roto rooter" was long and painful. After recovery, I felt great for about 6 weeks. Then, in May I got a sinus infection and took antibiotics. In June I got another sinus infection, another follow up, and more antibiotics. In July...another sinus infection. After that, I sought another opinion, and found that there are more modern and effective procedures that do not require cutting holes (the "roto rooter") and do not require general anesthesia. I had another procedure done last week to fix my sinuses (the holes Dr. Fyfe made weren't draining properly) and it has been a much easier recovery so far. Only twilight sedation was needed, and it was done in-office instead of in a surgery center. I feel more confident now that my infected days are over, but I wish I would have gotten a second opinion before surgery with Dr. Fyfe so that I could have avoided the permanent and unnecessary holes in my sinuses.

The entire office communication was extremely difficult, I would leave multiple voicemails and not hear back for days and weeks. I was going to have a tonsillectomy as well as sinus and septum surgery all at once to his recommendation, it took almost 2 weeks for them to inform my insurance and when I called to finally schedule he surgery it was more days of waiting for a call back. I had time to seek another opinion, discuss and schedule surgery with another doctor, they called me back the day before my tonsillectomy with my more responsible doctor, who split up the procedures, if not I don?t know how I would recover since the tonsillectomy has put me through the ringer. Nason is money hungry and arrogant. Their office is unhelpful. Do NOT go to this office.

I was able to fill out all my patient forms online ahead of time, so they were completely ready for me when my appointment began. Dr. Young was very understanding of my issue and explained the different options I have for addressing it. This resulted in an in-person visit. I was greeted quickly and very friendly.  The waiting room is very calming; you only hear the light music from the front desk and the hum of the air purifier. The nurse who took me back to the room and took my vitals was very friendly and made me feel welcome. My visit with Dr. Young was awesome.  She explained everything she did, step by step, and was patient with all of my questions. Building is in a quiet area and has ample parking. Hand sanitizer is available throughout the building and outside the office door.  Masks are required throughout the building and offices, including this office.

    I was recently referred to Dr. Bea Smith (Audiologist) with the office of Dr. Daniel J. Leeman to…read moreevaluate and assess what I thought were hearing problems. My experiences with Dr. Bea have been outstanding. Her thorough testing and explanations related to hearing aid assistance overall were great, as she also explained the hearing aid products that would best fit my hearing needs as a result of some hearing loss. In my view, her years of experience working with children with hearing challenges are assets in her work with adults, as she has good "bed-side manners" as an audiologist, carefully and thoroughly "teaching" and explaining the entire process. Once my aids were received and I had to transition in my use of them, she welcomed my follow-up appointments and patiently listened to my questions/concerns, made adjustments to my aids, helped me better understand how to handle and care for them, and urged me to not hesitate coming back or calling her if I had additional questions or concerns. If you are in need of professional audiology services and/or hearing aids and want an outstanding professional, I highly recommend Dr. Bea (Smith). Joseph P.

    YIKES! DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR! or TALK ABOUT LEARNING THE HARD WAY! ZERO STARS…read more Dr. Leeman performed surgery on me to relieve chronic sinusitis. The first two, septoplasty and turbinate reduction, were done in February at St. David's Medical Center in Austin. The third surgery, balloon sinuplasty, said by him and his PA, Matthew Poole, to be "the easiest of the three surgeries," was to be done about a month later at his surgery center on Manor Road . When I awoke from the balloon sinuplasty procedure, Dr. Leeman notified me that he had nicked the wall between the brain and the sinus passage, but that he repaired it. He said that it's fairly common, which Matthew later repeated to me. Dr. Leeman's professional demeanor with his staff, specifically yelling down the hall in an agitated voice at them from the examination room, plus the fact that he was dismissive of my concerns, and gave me questionable advice about flying within one day of the "nick" caused me to seek a second opinion. The patch he placed on the 3 mm hole he put in the wall that protects my brain, failed, and I ended up at Seton ER to have surgery to repair it, and a three-night stay. Further review of the scans of my sinuses after he performed what he told me was "balloon sinuplasty," show that he DIDN'T PERFORM A BALLOON SINUPLASTY BUT ACTUALLY PERFORMED AN ETHMOIDECTOMY, something we NEVER DISCUSSED. HE ALSO REMOVED BONE TISSUE AND THE CILIA WHICH LINE THE SINUS PASSAGES THAT HELP CLEAR THEM OF MUCUS AND DEBRIS, NEITHER OF WHICH CAN BE REPLACED. HE DID THAT FOR NO APPARENT REASON, AND CERTAINLY DID NOT DISCUSS IT WITH ME BEFOREHAND. Two different ENTs have verified to me that a "nick" like the one he created in my sinus cavity is NOT COMMON, in fact happens in less than 1% of the surgeries. CSF leaks (Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks) can lead to serious, potentially life-threatening complications (meningitis is one) if left untreated. I should have been suspicious right at the start when I arrived at what they called their "satellite office" on 1626 to find the office dark and the door locked. I knocked on the door, and PA Matthew Poole opened it. The office had no furniture and they obviously were not expecting me. Matt looked like he had just come in from a hunting trip, camo jacket, crocs, messy, scraggly hair and beard. He was able to recover quickly and convinced me that he knew what he was talking about. I was desperate to resolve a 6-month bout of chronic sinusitis, and had chosen this doctor specifically because of the location being closer to home. As it turned out, while I was a patient, they were never prepared to see me there, and I ended up having to drive from Buda into Austin for every appointment. Thank god there are plenty of professional ENTs practicing in Austin. The difference in how they practice is night and day. I have been able to get some answers, although sadly I learned too late that I'll never regain the bone and other tissue he removed without my permission! Why is this man still practicing?
