We always have a good experience with Dr Kitt and his staff. My mom doesnt have a hearing problem. She had impacted ear wax that was quickly removed in office. Now we go every 6 months to do it. No problems. We also think Dr Kitt is funny. Nice staff. Clean office. Easy parking. Takes medicare and insurance. Thanks read more

I had a frenectomy with this Dr. I spoke to him prior to my surgery about my concerns he reassured me that it was an easy surgery "it was like pulling a tooth" I went ahead with the surgery and 2 weeks after my surgery my tongue was still numb I couldn't feel anything. I keep biting my tongue, I called his office to ask if maybe he might have hit a nerve because the numbing wouldn't go away and he was mad that I asked that he got very rude and said that I had waited 49 years to get this surgery when I should've gotten it as a child. So now all of a sudden it was my fault. He said he couldn't tell me how long my tongue would be numb for it could be one week or a few years I was like what?! If I would've known that I would have no sensitivity or feeling in my tongue I would've never had this surgery but he said it was as easy as pulling a tooth then he had the audacity to get mad when I had questions. He said he had told me the pros and cons before hand which he never did like I said he stated it was like pulling a tooth. Please don't get any type of surgery with this man look at all his reviews they are bad. He seems nice in the beginning but if things go south he blames the patient. He's rude and has horrible bed side manner with you if you have any concerns or complaints I would not recommend anyone going there not even my worst enemy. Do yourself a favor and Please Find another Dr.. it was an awful experience for me something I've never experienced before.. if I could give no stars I would. read more

Victor V Kitt, MD - Ear Nose & Throat Near Me - Bakersfield, California

See all

We went to urgent care for my husband's ear pain. They couldn't figure it out and recommended we go to ENT. Dr. Kitt took us in that day and saw what was causing the problem and gave my husband a treatment and showed us how to do it at home. We return in one month. A doctor is not here to socialize with you, they are here to diagnose and treat. Personality doesn't matter, care does. We actually got along fine with him but I see a lot of complaints about "he wasn't nice to me!" What matters is the diagnosis and treatment. read more

I waited for 3 months for this appointment being a new patient. Anywho, I got there 25 mins before my appointment and waited 2 hours for Dr Kitt just to see me for less than 5 minutes. WTH!! Dr Kitt is the worst and very rude and at the same time he was falling/tripping. He couldn't walk straight...... I've been having ear pains for months now (still to this day), and he Only checked my ear thingy with the otoscope and said nothing is wrong. WTH?!'' He didn't even test my ears, Nothing at all!. With ALL the equipment IN THE ROOM. What is that?! For looks?!? And he wanted me to come back in 6weeks. Yeah ok LMAO!!!!! Hell NO , I'm gonna find another Dr. who actually cares about their patients!!!!! There's no improvement with this Dr. Kitt, he needs to retire for good!!! read more

Does not deserve not even one star to bad I even had to give him one Just a total waste of gas/time I drove 35 mins from Delano to Bakersfield to see a specialist for my enlarged tonsils only to hear him say it's all in my head. And if I didn't agree with what he was saying that he didn't even want to see me, very rude and disrespectful bedside manner and to top it off he still wanted to do a follow up, yeah right u can take your follow up you know where. Do me a favor everyone save yourself the same trouble and if you really need help DO NOT I repeat DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!!!! read more

I did not have a good experience at this doctor's office. Dr. Kitt is not patient and he is very blunt with the people that come to see him to be treated. I have never felt like walking out on a doctor before until today. He may be very knowledgeable about his profession but that is not that impression I got during my appointment. I am going to take his advice as far as the medical advice he gave me for my ear infection problem, but unfortunately I will be looking for another doctor for a second opinion. The other staff are very friendly and helpful. I was hopeful of a good experience by the staff's professionalism, but it's too bad the doctor himself is rude and unprofessional. I believe I'm very patient and understanding that everyone can have an off day but my impression is his "off days" are every day. I hope other patients have a better experience than me. read more

My insurance referred me to Dr Kitt for a consult/hearing test due to suspected tinnitus. After reading some of the bad reviews, I was surely hesitant about making an appointment. But I did make the appointment. I was pleasantly surprised to find a welcoming environment thanks to the front desk receptionist, the assistants, and Dr Kitt. read more

When you leave a provider's office in a full stream of tears and you haven't received a devastating diagnosis, something is rotten in Denmark. I have never been treated so insignificantly and dismissed so rapidly by a provider. He was going to force me to sign a document that stated he was doing the procedure (myringotomy/tympanoplasty) reluctantly. Only because I came in there and demanded that he do it. I refused to sign! He told me that he was the doctor and he knew better and I should follow his directions. I only saw this provider because (at the time I made the appointment), he was the only provider I could see. Thankfully, my insurance wised up and added someone new. I see that new provider next week! read more

Dr. Kitt is the most rude, impatient, disrespectful doctor I have ever seen. I would give zero stars if I could as he completely disregarded my needs for my ear infection. He was no help at all and made me feel worse. Almost if he was forced to help people, please save your money if deciding on him, I have given birth and had organs removed & never dealt with any service so horrible. I'm sorry for his workers, but he's super unprofessional. read more

If I could give a zero star I would. My boyfriend went to see Dr Kitt this last week. When he got home I asked, "what did Dr say?" To stay away from loud sounds and caffeine. You have got to be kidding me, what a joke! My bf has been dealing with pain in his neck for years. Neck is swollen and resembles a ping-pong size bump, that has only grown over the years. It causes pain, ringing in ears and sometimes a very bad headache. There was no physical examination and barely listened to what he had to say. No imaging done, no labs, no ultrasound. Dr had horrible bedside manner and made no attempt to find a resolution. read more

So I called here 3 weeks ago and made an appointment. I asked if they took my insurance and they did. They even called to confirm me a few days ago. I come in, wait 30 mins after filling everything out. Then they say they no longer take my insurance. Also the dr I was there to see is not there. It's now Dr. Kitt. So annoying cuz I took off work today. They could have told me the whole business changed when they called to confirm me. read more

Victor V Kitt, MD - Was trying to take pic of plaques. Won't zoom. - Ear Nose & Throat Near Me - Bakersfield, California

My husband was referred to this quack of a doctor. He has been having vertigo for a few months. This idiot made my husband sign a piece of paper BEFORE he was even going to be seen about vertigo telling him it may not even being something he could treat. Then my husband proceeds to see this guy. He told my husband that with all the medical problems he has has, his is in the body of a 100 year old man. Now, I understand my husband has medical issues, but he has only been dealing with vertigo for a few months. I would not recommend going to this man ever. His bedside manner is pure trash!!!! Too bad I had to give him any stars. He deserves zero stars. read more

We have been his patients for a long time now. He constantly declined to really take proactive steps to make sure his patient got hearing aids and got treatment for a number of breathing related issues. Every. Single. Time. We walked in there he would have his staff simply lavage( wash out) both ears like it was routine then have us return back to have the same rinse n repeat treatment. This went on for a few years. When you need him his impossible to get a hold off. We finally had it when hearing loss simply got worse and all he'd say his oh it's age related and begrudgingly had his staff do a hearing test. Why would you advise your patient to not wear hearing aids out of "option". Ridiculous. We decided to go to dr Dell Rey and it was literally a night and day diff. Office is clean, updated and high tech. Everything is modern and brand new looking. The dr there came in, took time to sit and have a conversation, ask questions etc. Kit simply walked in, stuck his tool in the ear then walked out like he was doing us a favor. No wonder his ratings are so low. Look up Del Rey's ratings. Almost 5 stars for a reason. This guy listened and ordered important essential tests to get down to why breathing issues were happening. Talk about breath of fresh air. We also are now officially getting fitted for hearing aids. Stay away from kits office for your own health and sanity. He's not worth it. read more

I really appreciated his old school style which is thoroughly exam first and talk and take questions second. If you go in and start telling him what to do I think you won't like him. He is good at completely examining and listened well when I asked questions. He did not rush. Was very kind and explained things so my teen could understand. Was humorous in a dry way and we really liked him. He was realistic in his approach. Liked him very much. read more

This doctor just completely dumbfounded me! He was not a bit concerned about the drainage from my ear, considering my age, and just interrupted everything I tried to tell him about my hearing. In the end, he handed me a completely lame prescription for a hearing device for my right ear, assuring me that my insurance would pay for it. No they don't! He wanted to see me again in 6 months. Why? I won't go back there! read more

Rudest most defensive Dr I've ever came across make sure you listen to the reviews on here and just save yourself a trip because they are 100% accurate down to the T I don't know why I thought I'd be any different but I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt ....boyyyyyyy was I wrong for that! read more

No stars! This person should not be in the medical profession. He is extremely unprofessional and lacks basic customer service skills. After visiting the ER twice in a week I was told to follow up with an ENT which prompted me to call an make an appointment. Earliest I could get in was eight days later. When I arrived he immediately tells me there is nothing wrong with me and that he couldn't do anything to help. Tried to explain the reason for the visit but he was not willing to listen. Before performing any physical assessment or asking questions he had already decided he wasn't going to help. If you are in need of an ENT or referred to his office DO NOT choose this office. Furthermore, call your insurance company and file a complaint so he doesn't receive compensation since there were no services performed. read more

My experience with him and his staff was very pleasant. He listened to all my concerns and did what he thought was right for me. I had to have a procedure done on my left ear. After the procedure he called my husband and kept him updated on what went on. read more

I read tons of bad reviews! And let me tell you he is an amazing doctor, my son was screaming while he was checking his ears, and was being super loud while he was explaining everything to us! He said it's okay, he can make noise, it doesn't bother me! He took his time and made sure we understood everything! We went in knowing absolutely nothing about his ears and now understand everything that's going on! And the part I love the most is he has the same view on avoiding tubes as I do! His office was clean, his staff was friendly! They even had toys in the waiting room so my kids were entertained the entire time!! Definitely recommend going here!!!! read more

Dr Kitt was a new Dr to me. My first impression was he is all business, short and brief. There was a bit of a disconnect but first impressions are not always right. At this visit he was not very personable. But, after having a ct scan and a second visit he was much more Thorough on explanations of my symptoms and Recommended a surgery. I was very nervous and had a lot of questions, he was very patient with me explained the procedure and my options. I went ahead and set a date. I came back for the pre-op still nervous and he sat down with me again to explain and was patient and assured me everyone would be fine. This was a very routine surgery for him. Dr Kitt is very formal, but that is just his persona. Not to be taken any other way. He knows his business. He has been doing it for pretty much my entire life span. He does his surgeries traditional method-no lasers here. Anyways day of surgery is when he really shined. His persona was much more chipper. I believe he truly loves helping people, I could see It that day. He really made me feel like I was in good hands in hospital and even helped ease my Nervousness once again. He worked all day from early to evening with multiple surgeries. I was impressed with this endurance after such a long day I was 2nd to last at 6ish pm. He took all his older clients first - I think in his culture elderly are always first to be taken care of - us younger ones can wait it out. We have more time :) Even though I had to wait - I respected that. I left around 8pm after recovery. Also wanted to say that the staff at the hospital, when registering , all knew of Dr. Kitt and said that he has helped so many people and kids over many, many years having several surgeries a week. He is very well liked at the hospital and this was also comforting to know. read more

Where should i start hes rude he didn't care what i had to say nor about my ct scan he said he couldn't help me he would walk out the room mad when ever i would ask him a question why call your self a MD if you cant do your dam job right i seriously don't recommend this so call doc to NO ONE this was my first n last visit read more

I really wish I had checked these reviews prior to visiting this doctor. I am absolutely shocked in the way I was treated. I have major inner ear issues that cause constant ear ringing, nausea and vertigo. I was so excited to see an ENT finally and could not believe how I was treated. First when he entered the room he checked in my nose and in my ear with the same instrument without changing the tip. I tried to tell me why I was there and especially pointing out that I get vertigo attacks that last all day. He started telling me that I need to sign a form and it will explain... the form had info about dizziness and vertigo and some excersises to do. He then left the room and the nurse came in and said the doctor wants me to take an hearing test. As I already knew I had hearing loss in my right ear. When he came back he told me that I needed to do the excersises on the form and it will get better. I was shocked as he said this in a condescending and dismissive way as my condition was made up. I then asked him how to prevent continued hearing loss and he said avoid loud noises! He could tell I was in complete shock and he started yelling at me that if I don't like his diagnosis to go somewhere else. I told him that I cannot believe that his diagnosis was to do some excersises and avoid loud noises when I am in so much pain. I cannot believe I was arguing with a professional doctor! I could go on and on, however this doctor should NOT have a practice. Many of my accounts are identical to many other reviews. I am going report him to the Medical Board as well as Consumer Affairs. This has to stop! read more

My wife has an ear infection. She was referred to Dr. Kitt for treatment. He cleaned out her ear and told her to put Tinactin Athlete's Foot powder in her ear. Concerned, we called Tinactin to see if it was safe to use their product in one's ear. Well, we never got an answer rather they said they could not recommend any other use other than for athlete's foot. Never heard of putting athlete's foot powder in your ear. In checking the internet, we could not find anything on the subject. So, for us, Dr. Kitt's cure was nothing more than voodoo medicine. We are trying to find another ear doctor to prescribe a more modern cure rather than foot powder for an ear infection. As a follow up to my post, my wife went to another doctor this morning to get a second opinion. The doctor said he had never heard of such a thing as using Tinactin Athlete's powder to cure an ear infection. I don't know, we all rely on doctors to treat us with the proper medicines but in this case, I really feel this doctor needs to rethink his recommendations and we feel telling my wife to use athlete foot powder was dangerous at a minimum. We will certainly NEVER go back to Dr. Kitt. 11/15/18 Today, my wife had another visit with our primary doctor. She has been unable to hear out of her one ear since Dr. Kitt treatment. Her ear was flushed out and all the white junk from the Tinactin foot powder came out of the ear. Finally, after several weeks she can now hear clearly again. I just hope she does not have a permanent hearing loss due to Dr. Kitt's treatment. If so, we may take legal action. Imagine having a doctor telling you to put athletes foot powder in your ear. read more

Dr.Kitt is extremely rude. I went in for chronic sinusitis. All CT scans were faxed to him ahead of time clearly indicating the problem. Upon my arrival, I provided physical documentation and images of CT scans and primary care notes indicating that if fact I had chronic sinusitis. The day of my appointment I arrived 30 minutes early to fill out new patient paperwork. The front girl was rude. I walked to her desk and she did not greet me instead I had to say, "hi, I have an appointment today" without even making contact she said sign in. I'm sure she's just miserable at her job. When I was taken to the room, the wait time before seeing Dr.Kitt was reasonable. Dr.Kitt walked in and asked what was the reason for my appointment . I explained my issue and handed him my medical records. He immediately said he couldn't help me and proceeded to say there was nothing wrong with my sinuses . I explain to Dr.Kitt my symptoms and asked him to look at the 4 CT scans I brought to the appointment. Again, he said there was nothing he can do for me and to take Claritin . Prick ! By the way. The consultations lasted about 5 minutes . The whole time Dr.Kitt was so rude ! I ended up walking out because of his smart remarks and rude tone. read more

Dr. Kitt saw my 4 year old because my son has something lodged in each ear. He and his staff were short and rude. He spent less than 5 minutes with us and decided on surgery. When I returned for our pre-op appointment, he said only a few words, listened to his breathing and told me to take him to the hospital for the rest of the pre op paperwork. It was so rude and unprofessional. At the hospital, he didn't even come out after the surgery to tell me what happened or anything. I don't understand how a doctor can be so rude. My son is 4 years old; I would think a doctor could have some respect for patient care and discuss the procedure with the parent. I will never return to this doctor and I will never refer anyone to his practice. read more

I read all these negative reviews, perhaps people with good experience dont leave reviews. I went yesterday and it was very good professional experience for me. Everyone there was kind and polite and professional. The doctor was nice and explained well my situation. This is a doctor you want. read more

If I could give ZERO I would this place was HORRIBLE !!!!! He was so rude and rite away came in and was making me feel like a bad mom for getting my son looked at and told me he's gonna die if I get his tonsils out then he told me to give me 1 1/2 year old adult allergy medication .. THIS GUY WAS A FN joke WORST place to go to EVER read more

I just had a visit with Dr. Kitt. I was pleasantly surprised initially with the highlighted note in the new patient packet that encouraged patients to ask lots of questions and that He did not want anyone to leave with any doubt in their minds/unanswered questions. I thought, awesome! The patient's concerns are their concerns and he has a patient and ready ear. What actually happened was the exact opposite. I described what my concerns were and he began describing what may be the problem causing it. So, I began asking questions based on the amount of time my problem has been around and just different specific concerns (different questions that I've pondered over months now). He kept interrupting me and asking me, "are you a doctor?" as if I was trying to tell him he was wrong in his diagnosis, when really I just wanted to ask more questions and inform him of my experience to give him more insight as well as leave with peace of mind that I had "no doubt," or any "unanswered questions," which was what was encouraged in the paperwork. I literally had to explain to him that I heard what he was saying and that I was asking different questions and just trying to understand. He was impatient, cut me off multiple times, and finally answered one of my main questions when he shut his mouth long enough to listen to what I was actually communicating. I'm sure being a later appointment, he is tired and maybe over the day, but my goodness, if someone is a doctor, they need to understand people are coming in because something is WRONG with their body. They are already in a vulnerable position, don't know what's going on, and are probably nervous. He kept telling me that I was repeating myself and kept asking "are you a doctor?" VERY BELITTLING, as I was just trying to understand and clarify what he had said to me and gain more understanding. I think he spent less than 10 minutes with me too, so its not like I was there long, taking up a bunch of time. I'm really disappointed. I don't feel at ease or like I was cared for as a human being and that I had to fight to even ask a question. My experience was horrible and I will not be returning. I'll also add that I've never left a bad review for any business even if I didn't have the best experience. This was just exceptionally disappointing and I believe if anyone wants to be in the medical field where people are coming in with a concern for their physical bodies, they need to have some concept of human interpersonal skills. (Really annoyed I didn't see any of all of these accurate reviews about horrible experiences before I went for myself.) read more

He said i was brushing my tongue to hard even though my sore was under my tongue he nearly cost me my life ! Do not go to him ! He likes to talk alot even though he has no idea what he's doing. read more

The doctor and his staff are plain out rude!!! I've never witnessed a more unprofessional business like this one!!

My First time going Today and I was so Happy Coming out from there. My right ear was clogged for 2.weeks and my regular doctor did not know what to do that he got me so scared and sent me here. Dr Kit he solved it in Seconds his assistant was awesome as well. I was scared lol but they helped me quik. And came out like new. Satisfy happy. read more

Rude! Rude! Rude! Stay away. Didn't listened to what I had to say at all and had the audacity to start talking smack about me as soon as he walks out of the room and shuts the door. Very Unprofessional!! read more

I took my child to see him. He was abrupt, rude, and spoke poor English in a strong accent. We had waited 6 weeks for an appointment with him to be told that he doesn't handle asthma nor allergy patients (that was his 30 second diagnosis), and he told us to leave and go buy OTC medications. We came to him for help with her previously diagnosed deviated septum. He was very unprofessional and demeaning....avoid! read more

I read some of the reviews that other people posted... I do not agree Dr. Kit and his staff were very attentive to me and my hurting ear. They follow up and they go out of their way to make your appointment speedy and efficient. read more

He was very rude and unprofessional!!! I went in to have my right ear checked. Comparing my dental field to his line of work. He says "he needs to compare both ears to test them. Just like people complain about one tooth don't you do a feel exam and x-rays"....well yes, I understand, but sometimes people can't afford a full exam just want that particular tooth checked. Ok.... So let's do the test then! At the end of the test ,Then he said if I didn't like how he does his testing both ears that I should maybe go for a second opinion....wow! Please save yourself from coming here because you might need a second opinion!!! read more

Absolutely the WORST Dr EVER! DO NOT GO WITH HIM!!! Was my first time there and He is completely rude, complete jerk, not friendly at all. The first thing that triggered me was when he was going to check my 4 year olds ear he pulled my daughters head up by her ear. He kept asking me questions and i would answer and his response was "Your wrong I'm the Dr i know you don't!" I was very upset he noticed i was then asked me "I see your upset why?" Then i explained to him why i was he then told me "If you want to leave then leave, your daughter will need to take these pills for a year if you don't like it go somewhere else, you came to me for help" i then answered back with "NO, I didn't personality come to you for help her Dr sent her over here, i trusted her Dr and thought she would have sent me to a better Dr then you" he then didn't say anything and just walked out. read more

Worst Doctor Ever! Do not come to him, he has no symapthy for anyone same as his staff!!! I decided to have my tonsils taken out and was referred to doctor Kitt, everything was fine till the day of the surgery. He was behind the whole day, said there would be pain but not excruciating pain! A couple days before my pain medication ran out, I called about getting a refill for it which he denied and said to take something over the count, which I did and completely backfailed on me because it burned my whole mouth and throat. No leading up to my appointment, the day before I was admitted to the Emergency Room because the pain and swelling was intolerable which was mentioned to him over and over. Now upon arriving to his office for an appointment, I was not acknowledged or greeted in any shape or form, but as soon as I was in the room, I tried to show him my ER papers and tell him the reason why but he completely shut me up and continued to soeak over me about how he hates whiners and this is why he hates doing this procedure on people who don't listen,etc. Reminder everything would have been okay if he would've just given me more pain medication to tolerate the swelling and pain in order to eat or drink something which I haven't in a week. The ER room was way more gracious and helpful then his whole office combined. If I could rate him with zero stars I would. Please No One, Absolutely No One Go To Him For Any Of Your Concerns! Get Referred To Another Doctor read more

I would never go back to this doctor not only is he unprofessional he's also very aggressive in his demeanor. He yelled at me and try to diagnose my problem without even doing a physical exam. Told me it was all in my head. I went to him for vocal cord pain. When he did try to look in my throat he got mad and slammed everything down and told me I wasn't following his instructions. I voluntarily left his office and let him know that he was not the specialist I needed to be seen by. I told him he was giving me anxiety because he was yelling at me. He mocked the fact that I let him know that he was giving me anxiety. It was a horrible experience. Please do not go to this doctor. read more

This was probably the worst doctor I have ever encountered. I took my daughter to see him and he basically talked down to us and literally interrogated my daughter. He refused to listen to what we had to say and seemed as though he had made up his own mind about how the appointment was going to go before he even walked into the room. He acted as though we had bothered him and interrupted his day by being there. He basically called me a liar when I answered his questions. Truly the most rude and disrespectful doctor I've ever seen. Absolutely no bedside manner exists within this man. Giving him one star is too many. I would give him negative stars if it was an option. read more

ZERO stars!!!! Horrible doctor! Don't go to this office! He treats his patients like crap! Very disrespectful and rude! He said to go to Walmart and buy medication. He spoke very poor English and he was just plain rude! Google would have been more helpful. You have been warned! I wouldn't be surprised if his office closes soon. Find a different doctor this one is a waste of money and time. read more
