He is very kind and listens to his patients. He truly cares!! I have had many surgeries in the past and know it is very difficult to find a skilled surgeon who is also so caring !!! I would not trust anyone else to perform the type of surgery that Dr. Bahu performed in me. I feel very fortunate to have him as my doctor . He has made this entire experience so much easier !! Dr. Bahu is a rare find and I highly recommend him! He is the best !!!

He was supposed to be testing for bacterial meningitis, and any other potential bacterial infections. Which are known to cause my (potential) sepsis. However because of his screw up he put me on the receiving end of a $90 bill for a viral infection test that wasn't supposed to be ordered that had also (obviously) came back negative. Thankfully I was able to call Trinity Health & rectify the bill. They back charged my insurance so I would not have to pay. Plus the heartburn medication Dr. Rontal put me on (when I don't have heartburn) has not worked at all. Going in for a follow-up on Wednesday. If we can't get this bacterial meningitis test done by the end of the appointment then I will have to call Geoffrey Fieger. Medical malpractice is not a joke. UPDATE: Dr. Rontal lost my insurance information, and the follow up was just him refusing service to me after he failed to order the test we agreed upon.

I wasn't looking to do a review for the Michigan Ear Institute, but was looking up the number for…read moremy wife and saw it was only receiving 4/5 stars? I read one review about Dr. Laroue (now retired from the MEI) and felt like I needed to set some things straight. I have been a patient of the Michigan Ear Institute for over 20 years. As a competitive high school and college swimmer, I suffered from multiple ear infections. My family doctor couldn't solve most of them and as a swimmer I didn't like to stay out of the water for many of them to fully heal. In my late 20's I started to experience significant earring loss. After being referred to the MEI, I was told the three bones holding up my ear drum had fused together and were eroding from the chronic ear infections. I had about a 45% loss in my right ear, as a high school teacher I couldn't hear my students and surgery was my best chance of getting my hearing back. Doctor Laroue was my surgeon and was fantastic throughout the entire process. He explained the process beforehand, answered hard questions and performed the complicated surgery to remove the failing bones and replace them with prosthetic bones. The recovery was hard, but I healed well. The incision was made behind the ear in the fold, it is hardly noticeable today. After bandages and packing was removed, I had my hearing tested again. I got back about 25-30% of my hearing. I was able to resume teaching and coaching without hearing problems. I was still able to swim and scuba dive. When I started to have problems again with my ear, about 15 years later, I reconnected with Doctor Laroue at the MEI. He was able to perform a second surgery on my ear to remove material that was growing behind the ear drum. I wasn't thrilled to have another surgery on my right ear, but Doctor Laroue did an excellent job removing the skin cells from the area and getting the ear back to normal. The recovery wasn't as bad as before, but my days of swimming without ear plugs are now over. I am currently seeing Dr. Zappia at the MEI for ongoing check ups and routine ear cleaning. He has been very patient with me and has also done an excellent job helping me to manage my ears/hearing. I would highly recommend the Michigan Ear Institute to anyone who needs an expert to help them solve a hearing or ear problem. Sincerely, Jeremy

I needed a tympanoplasty due to a ruptured ear drum. I waited a couple years to get the surgery, as…read moreI didn't have much pain at all other than hearing loss. Scumbag Ko told me he had a 90% success rate (a lie) and i believed him. After the surgery, he tells me that his fucking resident did part of my surgery.... needless to say I was upset as I had ONLY consented to HIM working on my ear. The surgery failed and I now live with more pain than i had before the surgery. The nerves in my face constantly ache, my neck hurts from drainage from the ear, and i get KILLER ear and headaches - all of which didn't exist before the surgery. Fuck this doctor, if you need a tympanoplasty, for the love of god let me be your example and go anywhere else. FUCK YOU SCUMBAG KO

I have received ENT services since I was in elementary school and he is one of the best I have had over the decades. All staff were friendly and efficient. Everything was clean. The exam room was spacious. The waiting area was small. They also have a good system of reminding patients of appointments. About 5-6 days prior to the appointment I received a text message to confirm the appointment. I received another text the day of the appointment. I am very pleased to have found Dr. Succar and will be returning every three months for my ENT care.

Upon arriving and checking in I had a conversation with the receptionist in regard to paperwork. I commented on something and was immediately and rudely corrected by the owner/office manager for using poor grammar. Apparently my slip up of saying me instead of I was a horrible mistake in this office! Gosh what was I thinking? A day of appointments and I was tired and used poor grammar. Public humiliation was the order if the day. I was assured that she would not be doing my hearing assesment. Michael was very professional during testing and seemed to be compensating for the earlier rude remark from the owner. At time of check out, the boss lady gets into the conversation again and has no clue what to charge for appointment and at one point says, "If we bill the insurance company and we don't get paid what do we do"? So even though I have insurance they accept and an additional discount I was charged $155! The receptionist tried to help but to no avail. The entire thing was amazingly unprofessional. If I acted this way with clients I would be out of business. Okay fine. I can bill for reimbursement. I just wanted out of there. Got home.....nope! No billing information on receipt for billing my insurance. I am pretty certain I will get no cooperation from her for what I need. Not that she would know. The only saving grace to this visit was Michael, and Bo the rescued puppy. However only if you think dogs belong in a medical setting. Please save yourself and do not go there. It took my wife a year to talk me into this test and she is thrilled that I finally went to be treated so poorly. Also checked with my wife, the grammar queen. Turns out my sentence structure was appropriate and some people think they know English and do not. This review is not about the insult but the attitude. I am truly sorry it was the end of the day and you were cranky, but no need to be completely unprofessional.

The office staff was very pleasant. I really appreciated that the new patient forms were quick and easy, since they auto fill the information that they have for you already. The nurse, Claudia, is a gem. She is patient and kind. Dr. Proctor was right on time and spent the perfect amount of time with me. He solved a problem in the office that other ENTs said needed to happen via surgery. He has some interesting technology that allows you to watch via monitor during the exam. That isn't something that I cared for, but I am sure other people would like it. A word to the wise, he is a popular specialist. You can expect a wait of 3-4 weeks for an appointment...it is worth it.
