I will be returning for more work.

I cannot say enough good things about this clinic and the care I received. After years of going to…read moreanother ENT clinic that was later sold and renamed, I spent nearly two frustrating years being given the runaround with no real answers or solutions for my condition. That all changed the moment I met Valerie. Within just one hour of my first visit, she took the time to truly listen, thoroughly evaluate my situation, and accurately diagnose the severity of what I've been dealing with. For the first time, I felt heard and taken seriously. While my previous doctor told me there was nothing that could be done, Valerie immediately took action. She has already scheduled me for a tonsil removal in the next 30 days to address the recurring infections and strep throat I've suffered through--three times in the past 11 months. On top of that, she identified additional concerns, referred me to the appropriate specialists for my GERD, and put me on a clear path toward real healing. For years, I've lived with constant pain, discomfort, and vocal cord damage that has affected my ability to speak and function normally. In just one visit, Valerie and her team gave me hope, direction, and a plan. The level of care, professionalism, and compassion I experienced here is truly exceptional. I was taken care of from day one, and it's clear this team genuinely cares about their patients. If you're looking for real answers and providers who will actually take the time to help you--this is the place to go. Highly, highly recommend.

Today was disappointing... not so much about the level of care but based on when I called originally a few weeks ago to see if they treat a specific condition, I was told they do and have a few patients. Well, it turns out in less than 10 minutes, I'm told by the doctor that nothing can be done for me. That was extremely disappointing, it wasted money, a couple hours of my day to take time off work, drive into town and so on. It would be much better for the staff to know that something specific can't be treated rather than waste time for all parties, money and dash hope. As for everything else, check-in was prompt and I was taken back shortly after my scheduled appointment. The young man asking me questions didn't understand what I was being seen for and admittedly said he didn't know what to ask me. I didn't take offense, it's fairly rare. The doctor came in quickly, we spoke for a few minutes, mostly telling me things I already knew and unfortunately he told me there was nothing that could be done and I made my way to check out. I imagine their care is perfectly acceptable, as my previous ENT recommended I contact them, but as I said... it ended up being disappointing all around.

If you are confused as a result, it's on you! This refers to everyone at their front desk and Dashow, who disregarded our concerns about misinformation and lost his professional composure toward us in the waiting room. Not sure how the procedure itself went, he didn't bother showing up after to update on anything. Called the office and had to settle for copies of the medical notes instead of talking to someone about what was done and forget about aftercare or asking questions about what to expect during healing. Went to other medical professionals to get aftercare and frankly, was relieved not to go back to that office. Their office space or patient rooms are not private; you can hear conversations from treatment rooms and patients moaning from pain while you sit in the waiting area. One visit while I was waiting to be seen, a parent told the front desk they had to leave because it was hard for them to hear their kid in pain. When I set up my original appointment, they were in network with my health insurance. By the time I got to my first appointment, they were no longer in network but didn't bother to tell me until I checked in, then they were all about getting paid. I should have taken that as a sign of how they treat people and run their office; BADLY!

Dr. Kallman was able to fix my sinus problems from which I suffered for over 12 years! Best of all, my surgery was a smashing success with very minimal discomfort. Not like in the old days where you left the hospital with your nose all packed and in pain. Relatively painless with a very quick recovery. What more could I ask for? I highly recommend his services. Since my personal experience with Dr. Kallman, I have recommended his services to my friends and family. All have been completely satisfied. I have also brought my children to him for ENT services. Three years ago Dr Kallman removed my 13 year olds adenoids at our local surgery center. We went camping later thar same day. He's that good....

The audiologist was friendly and appeared competent. I had no issues with my tests or the hearing aids I bought. After they had my money, however, it has become impossible to get any follow up care or service. After a time, the battery on one of the hearing aids failed. I called for an appointment. They told me they were too busy to see me and to just drop off the hearing aid for her to look at. The hearing aids were still under warranty. I dropped off the hearing aid and they went silent. After a month, I called back, and they sounded like they never heard of me. After a considerable wait, they reluctantly admitted they had my aid ready. I tried to set an appointment to pick it up and make sure it was OK, but they told me it would be 4 months or longer to get an appointment. They said to just drop in and pick it up. I dropped in and picked the aid up. When I got it home, I found they had given me a replacement aid. The aid would not pair with my other one and would not connect to my phone app (a feature that was instrumental in my selection of that model aid). I called them back and told them about the problem. They told me to drop off the aid again. I refused and said I wanted to verify the aid worked correctly when they were done with it. They gave me an appointment 4 months in the future. I was not pleased. Nonetheless, I showed up for the appointment. They spent 90 minutes trying to pair the aid with my app and finally succeeded. By this time I was late for another appointment and didn't have time to get the aid calibrated. I limped along with the unbalanced aids for a few months until I could no longer stand it. I called them again and asked for an appointment to fix the sound of the right hearing aid. I was told to drop them off. I refused and said I must be present to verify that they had indeed calibrated them to match. They told me they had no appointments available for 4+ months. That's when I decided to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, the Alaska state medical board, and Yelp.

Lately I've been feeling old as I get closer to the fifty year mark. (I'll be 47 in less than a…read moremonth.) Those lines between my eyes were really starting to bother me. I just wanted them gone. So when I saw a groupon for botox. I made an appointment and expected the best. The doctor assured me that I'd see results. Which I absolutely did. But, not where I wanted to see them. The lines between my eyes were still there. The botox was ineffective for me, but, the big problem was in his inexperience he put the botox in the wrong spots resulting in my eyebrows being unnaturally raised, and a craping on my left eyelid. I look terrible. Angry all the time, in spite of being a happy person. So, after a little research online I decided to go back in and have him look at the damage he caused. He IMMEDIATELY got defensive. Talking about how it wasn't his fault and that putting botox in between my eyes had no effect on my eyebrows being unnaturally raised and frozen like that. He said it was simple anatomy and he wasn't going to argue the point. Then he offered to give me more botox to complete the paralyzing of the lines between my eyes (at his cost :/) But, discouraged against it because my eyebrows would likely get even more raised. Funny, I thought the botox he injected had NOTHING to do with my eyebrows raising. I explained to him that I felt that this had been a huge waste of money and I look way worse after seeing him than I did when I came in. To this he he got really angry and told me to get out and said he'd show me the way out. I said, You're not sneaking me out the back door. I'll go out the way I came. I was completely humiliated. All I wanted was him to try to fix the damage and make me feel pretty again. But, instead, I felt beaten down and disfigured. All I wanted was for him to say he was sorry this happened to me...that never happened. I would caution against seeing a doctor who's specialty isn't cosmetic surgery for botox or any other injectable. I trusted him because he was a doctor. But, upon further research I have found out that his specialty is gynecology.
