“I have been seeing Dr Wardlow for over 20 years. He has been a life saver for me many times when I had to sing especially in the winters at church around Christmas. I often had laryngitis and he got me through it. He also helped me with 2 sinus surgeries and countless visits with my sinus headaches. He is a miracle worker, very professional, very intelligent and kind. He is the best!”

Great doctor!!! Very knowledgeable!
January 10, 2024Nadeen R.Verified patient
Dr. Wardlow is very kind and speaks in laymen's terms so you understand what's happening during the appointment or procedure, as well as any diagnosis. He's warm and easy to talk to and the office staff have been great at both appointments. I've seen a lot of ENTs over the years, but will definitely be sticking with Dr. Wardlow moving forward!

My experience with my appointment yesterday was a positive one. From start to finish, I was treated professionally, with courtesy & efficiency. I would highly recommend Dr. Wordlaw.
January 6, 2024Kathleen K.Verified patient
This doctor is very knowledgeable and listened to everything I said. I didn’t feel rushed explaining myself. I highly recommend
October 21, 2023Rea Y.Verified patient
Dr Wardlow immediately eased my mind. I was there for a second opinion after another ENT recommended a surgical procedure at my second appt. Dr Wardlow listened to all my concerns and did a more thorough exam than the other MD and offered several more conservative treatments to explore before considering a surgical solution. He was knowledgable, professional and comforting.
October 17, 2023Kate P.Verified patient

Experience good. Doctor Wardlow appeared engaged and helpful in getting my next testing set up quickly. I would recommend him. I’d simply like to hear from the next doctor for further testing.
June 21, 2023Christopher M.Verified patient
If you’re looking for ENT excellence- this is Dr. Wardlow. I’ve used a few ENTs in the past and by far, DrWardlow is the most comprehensive.
June 19, 2023Carol C.Verified patient
It was my first time on this place and I really liked it because I feel comfortable with all the staff and the Doctor was very clear and he listened when I explained my symptoms, I would like to mention that the Doctor speaks a lot of Spanish very clear so that way made me feel confident, I’m sure I will recommend him with all my friends
May 6, 2023Maribel M.Verified patient
Doctor did t listen to me. My problem is still persistent and his treatment plan was ineffective and I was gaslit and made to feel stupid the entire time.
Would not recommend if you have chronic illness. If you’re a man who had allergies or a deviated septum sure. Go ahead. But if you are anything but please see someone else
April 7, 2023Initials hidden
Out of the 4 ENT doctors that I had seen Dr Wardlow was the first to listen to me and let me tell him my symptoms. He checked my symptoms thoroughly. When he wasn't satisfied that he wasn't getting a diagnosis for the symptoms, he ordered tests to check on other problems. He is the first ENT doctor to follow through with my problem.
March 27, 2023Susan R.Verified patient
Very helpful……
March 14, 2023Arieana C.Verified patient
This review is based solely on my first office visit today. Dr. Wardlow examined my ears and immediately diagnosed my issues. He prescribed a few medications and we made an appointment for a minor surgical procedure in the very near future.
This doctor was most professional and his reassuring demeaner set my mind at ease as I have been functioning at about a 40 percent hearing level for the past 10 days. I feel very confident in his plan of action and will post another review upon completion of the surgery.
March 13, 2023Thomas H.Verified patient

February 13, 2023William K.Verified patient
Dr Jesse is a great listener, and a good doctor. I' ve seen him a few years ago as well. However, I had issues with the prescription. Even though his team said it was sent to my pharmacy, the pharmacy never received it. Kept calling but front desk doesnt answer calls on the weekends even though the office is open. Had to send my husband there to get copy of the prescription.
January 18, 2023Iskra B.Verified patient
Dr. Wardlow is an excellent physician. Extremely professional, courteous and efficient with his time. He will take into consideration your concerns as a patient and will advise the best plan of care for you.
November 29, 2022Anthony H.Verified patient
Dr Wardlow is very professional and explained things well. He took a lot of time with me, which I appreciated. He is nice and staff was as well. Would recommend. He had previously seen my child, so I was familiar with him and he was excellent with my daughter as well.
