The physicians at the practice are top rate. Myself and another family member are patients here. It…read morecan be difficult to get an appointment with a provider as they are a very busy place. And in my experience, if surgery is recommended as part of a care plan, it can be months to secure a surgery date. All said, we are happy with Bellingham ENT. Top quality care.

Our visit with Dr, Hecht was very pleasant he is very good at his job. I can't say the same about…read morehis support staff. The receptionist was rude during the several interactions I had with her. Including having to walk into the office to schedule a visit because the schedulers do not answer the phone or return your calls. I then brought paperwork in for paid family medical leave so I could be present for my six-year-olds surgery and healing. The receptionist informed me that I would have to pay a fee to get the doctor signature on this form. Talk about nickel and dime....I then called the office to ask for clarification on why I needed to pay this fee. The response I got was that I did not need to pay the fee for this form. They do charge a fee for other forms due to the doctor's "time" spent on filling them out. When I went back into the office I was met again with the receptionist saying I needed to pay a fee. No one seems to be on the same page about said fee. I am a single mother and I think it is ridiculous that I have to pay for a simple signature so I can ensure that I will be off work and present for my child's surgery.

I had to wait months to get in due to the doctor cancelling my initial appointment. When I finally…read morewas able to see one of their ENTs, the doctor came in and spoke to me for maybe five minutes. I was handed another referral and pushed out the door. I didn't feel like my problem was taken seriously or given any consideration. Unfortunately I'm still having chronic issues and was disappointed by the quality of care at Bellingham ENT.

I hate giving poor ratings but if I prevent someone else from wasting their time it is worth it!!!…read moreThe staff are all very friendly and amazing! Dr. Joost Knops, M.D is NOT! I have seen him twice now and walked away without any answers to my issues or a feeling that he gave 2 cents about anything I was going through. Besides telling me the issues were something I had to deal with, I was only allowed to address 1 issue per visit! That is ridiculous!! I was actually told "We addressed your dizziness today but that is it." After which, he promptly walked out of the room and my visit was done! It is horrible enough going through the paperwork, payments, time off work, driving, etc. to get a doctors appoint but to then have the person you are relying on to help you be so rude and dismissive is completely unprofessional and uncalled for!! I am not sure how the other physicians are in the practice, but I don't think I will be taking any more chances or wasting my time with this office. Signed - Frustrated!!

I do not recommend the services provided by this Audiologist. Their website states they will look…read moreinto insurance benefits regarding coverage on behalf of the customer. After services rendered, I found this to be a gross misstatement. They declined my request to submit a claim on my behalf even though they were paid in full at the time of service. They flat-out stated that insurance providers don't cover services for audiology testing and that they wouldn't submit a claim for that reason. In fact my provider does, but they were lazy and wouldn't bother to check. I said I would submit the claim myself, but efforts to obtain the necessary medical codes and support documentation were met with resistance and rudeness by the front desk clerk. My impression was that this business is inexperienced with providing insurance claims for their customers and did not have the general knowledge of current claim practices or protocols. Nor did they appear to even care. They provide an extreme disservice to all their customers, especially Seniors who are generally unable to navigate the complex claim process on their own.

First time going in, met Steven and Diane and Nellie, super nice! My uncle is super hard of hearing…read moreand we needed help. Steven was amazing with my uncle as he is mentally disabled as well as hard of hearing Steven made sure my uncle understood what was going on and what was coming next during the appt. Diane fixed his old hearing aide so he is able to hear until he gets his new hearing aides in a couple weeks which put the biggest smile on his face we are so happy to have found a place that feels welcoming and we look forward to continuing our working with them every few months
