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 got zero help from this doctor and I would not recommend. He sent me for a CAT scan and insisted…read moreseveral times that I bring him the CD for the CAT scan from one of the places on his recommendation list. Otherwise, I could go to Huron Valley hospital and he would logon to the site to see my CAT scan. Scheduled the CAT scan at RMT on Woodward in Royal Oak (from his list) and paid $350 and brought him the CD. The response I got was that he didn't have the software to read the CD. That was another $40 copay visit for him to just tell me that. Then why tell me to go to RMT and bring you the CD? Super frustrating, had to find a new EMT and pay more deductibles. I can look at the CAT scan myself on my PC and there is clearly red arrows all over the place pointing to issues in my sinus cavity, thankfully a new doctor can easily read the CD. It's pretty simple. This guy does not have a DICOM Medical Image Reader, but sends people for CAT scans with instructions to bring him the CD he won't read. Skip the frustration and find a more current doctor.

When I advised him that the procedure hurt, he told me "you're fine, just relax" while continuing with the procedure. I gagged while pushing his hand away, again telling him the procedure hurt. He ignored me and continued until I begin to cry... That's when he stopped. He was very rude and condescending while talking to me; basically advising that I did not know what was going on with my own body because he's the doctor and he knows best. When I advised him that I needed a doctor's note for a few days off of work since my condition was preventing me from working he told me "No, I'm not giving you a doctor's note because there's nothing wrong with you. You're fine." He refused to listen to anything I and constantly talked over me. When did it become okay to speak to a patient in this manner!? He is completely unprofessional when other colleagues are not around to witness his behavior. HE WILL NEVER RECEIVE MY BUSINESS AGAIN.
