Dr. Newberry is an excellent doctor. I came to him in December of 2022, having had pulsatile…read moretinnitus in my left ear for six months. Before meeting with Dr. Newberry, I had seen several other providers (an NP, an MD, and a PA) through other organizations and they all either dismissed the seriousness of my symptoms as anxiety and allergies, or misdiagnosed me with an ear infection or Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. Dr. Newberry's approach was completely different. He was the first doctor who actually took me seriously. He was immediately concerned because it turns out persistent one-sided pulsatile tinnitus can be a symptom of a very serious and potentially dangerous condition called a dural AV fistula; however, while he mentioned the possibility of a dAVF (among other conditions), he also didn't jump to conclusions. He was very thorough. Over the course of a few months, we did some blood work, scans, and tests to figure out what might be causing it. When one of those scans finally came back abnormal, Dr. Newberry provided an immediate referral for me to see a neuroradiologist who eventually diagnosed me with a dural AV fistula. Dural AV fistulas are rare and complex, and I say this to point out that Dr. Newberry didn't let this deter him; he didn't discount a dAVF as a possible diagnosis, despite the fact it was unlikely because I didn't have any headaches at the time (a hallmark symptom of dural AV fistulas). I'm so grateful to him because other providers obviously dismissed the possibility that I had such a rare condition, probably because it was simply unlikely. Had I not seen Dr. Newberry, it's very possible this condition might have gone undiagnosed and led to a stroke or brain hemorrhage in a decade or so; alternately, it could have eventually led to a misdiagnosis of dementia or other neurological conditions due to the impact it can have on cognitive functioning. In general, Dr. Newberry is very easy to talk to and has a great bedside manner. He's a good listener, and I would describe him as highly competent and on the cutting edge of ENT medicine. As someone who has been repeatedly let down by medical providers over the years, I find myself trusting his opinion. He can see the big picture as well as the details, and never loses sight of the fact that his patient is a human being. My experience with Rhode Island ENT as an organization has also been great. I have found it very easy to schedule appointments with them. The receptionists and medical assistants are pleasant and competent. They send appointment reminder text messages which is helpful. I have never had any issue with them forgetting to order a prescription or send in a referral, or any hiccups with insurance. Though I do remember experiencing some initial frustration trying to schedule an appointment as a new patient due to the call routing, since I've become a patient, I've found it very easy to work with them.

It's very hard to be treated for allergies when they cancel your allergy testing twice over the…read morecourse of several months due to lack of staff. The second time they canceled they said someone called me, but I had no message. They could not provide the time or day that the message was left. I had discontinued allergy medication prior to the test for nothing. My referral will be expired by the time they can get me in, and that's if they don't cancel a third time.

This was especially distressing at night. I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. However, the CPAP mask did help matters, as I was unable to breath normally. I was fed up with nasal sprays and all the other OTC "fixes" for my problem. In my follow-up appointment with Dr Godley, after looking in my nose, he said, "You have a Deviated Septum." Dr. Godley explained that this is a fairly common condition and he could take care of it. He set a date to operate. I am now completely free from "stuffy nose syndrome". My Apnea mask works just fine and I can sleep comfortably all night, much to the relief of my wife. I credit Dr. Godley with solving my sleep problem. Thank you Dr. Godley.
