“Hi had an emergency situation and was able to get an appt with Nancy Higbee at ctENT. I cannot express how excellent my experience was. From the warm front desk welcome to their medical technician, Oliver it started off great. However, Nancy is one of a kind! She is brilliant, compassionate, patient and all around awesome. She treated me with respect and professionalism that is unfortunately rare in today's medical care. I wholeheartedly recommend Nancy Higbee and the entire team at ctENT!!”

I didn't see Heather at all but I did see Jane Kopacki who was one of the best medical professionals I've ever met. Book with her. I needed a surgery which Heather would do but she doesn't seem to be in office this season so I haven't been able to book that.

Amazing staff and an overall wonderful experience. Got some bad news but the staff reassured me they will make it as easy for me as possible. Definitely coming back/recommending to everyone I know!!
November 26, 2025Emma D.Verified patient
I recently had the pleasure of being examined by Nancy Higby, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with their level of professionalism and the amount of time they dedicated to explaining everything to me. Anyone looking for an ENT specialist should definitely consider them.
I have visited several other ENT offices before, but this experience was on a whole different level. The staff was friendly and professional, and every interaction I had with different team members was fantastic. This office truly surpassed all my expectations.
Highly recommended for any ENT issues!

I was seen by a nurse practitioner who was very well educated but talked way way way WAY too much. Not even about medical things. Our appointment that should have been ~45mins was 1.5hrs. Completely because of her talking. It was infuriating.

December 24, 2024Heidy V.Verified patient
This feels like a factory to see as many patients as possible. I made an appointment with one of the ENT's and was not told until I was in the exam room that the doctor I booked was not who I was seeing. I saw a nurse practitioner who was perfectly lovely and helpful but just clear that the office is focused on quantity and not quality.

This entire office was fabulous. They did change my appointment from the doctor to a physician assistant who was just as wonderful!
November 9, 2024William C.Verified patient
The office called me to tell me that the appointment booked through ZocDoc was not with the provider I had confirmed. The office was able to change the appointment to the correct provider and I was seen within 2 days of original appointment. Other than that, good experience.

I was seen by the PA but everyone overall was extremely friendly, they explained everything in detail. I was not feeling rushed at all so they do make you feel as a patient. Great facility overall they do lots of tests before doctor sees you and everything is there!

Amazing first experience here. I was suffering from an ear infection and got an appointment so quick. Katie was so smart and kind. Addressed issues I have been having for years in just an hour and immediately presented a solution. Would recommend to anyone with any kind of recurring ear or sinus issue.

April 1, 2024Malgorzata R.Verified patient
Office canceled my appointment visit and said there were no slots just to get rid of me and blamed it on the internet because they reopened slots after I was canceled.
They tried to pawn off the PA on me at first and had the nerve to say it was the same experience and training.
They left me sick with no appointment.
March 25, 2024John L.Verified patient
Amazing staff, nurse practitioner and Dr team that took great care of me and doing more to diagnose and treat my sinus problems. I look forward to the next step to breathe well again in 2024, regret not making this decision sooner. Don’t settle for managed care but treat the root cause for better living!!!!
March 13, 2024Roy H.Verified patient
Excellent staff, very friendly and welcoming. They make you feel at ease. The physician assistant walked me through everything and showed me the structure inside my nose which was pretty cool. She spoke to me like I was an intellectual person and made me feel very comfortable to ask questions. Highly recommend!

I had a new patient ENT appointment for what I thought was a deviated septum. Everyone in the office (especially the emotional support pup!) was so kind and helpful. The nurse and DNP who saw me answered all my questions and helped me schedule my procedure. Also, the office vibes are immaculate. I highly recommend for any ENT issues or concerns!

I would only recommend coming here for minor ENT issues. Definetly NOT for dizziness! Dr. Waters is younger and doesn’t seem that knowledgable. The nurse told me her specially was injectable and plastic surgery. Which seemed out of place for ENT office.
There office staff is horrible every time I’ve gone to this office . They are rude , talk badly about patients and always cause delays and errors when faxing results and prescription.
They are doing the bare minimum for COVID safety . I would not recommend coming here if you are at high risk. Other offices , send you paperwork prior to your appointment and call or text you when it’s time to come I so you don’t have to wait in the waiting room. Etc They even handed me a dirty iPad to fill out my intake form with. The front desk handed it to me after a clearly sick patient was using it!
