I really liked the doctor but not the nurse. Nurse was super unfriendly and other nurse brought in wrong instrument doctor asked for. Dr was great but equipment looked outdated and not clean.

This was a great experience! Dr was very professional. He discovered the problem and with a little more testing we will have the complete picture. I’m confident now that I’m in good hands!

Verified patient
Dr. Requena is wonderful at listening and very thorough in figuring out what treatment is needed and communicating it in a way that is understandable. His diagnosis/treatment have been accurate for me since I have become his patient in 2020. I will not use/see another ENT. I value his opinion and trust in his decisions. It is also fairly easy to get an appointment if you have an emergency. They office staff is accommodating and friendly. I have always been seen when needed and within a timely manner. Dr. Requena is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend him.

Great customer service
Verified patient
My visit with this doctor was frustrating. He politely considered possibilities for about ten minutes before saying the cause is unknown but “this is just something some people deal with.” My advice: find someone who gives more than ten minutes before giving up.
Verified patient
Excellent Doctor. I have been with him since 2003. He saved my life by finding and coordinating my treatment for a head and neck cancer. He continues to monitor my care through the various after affects of radiation and chemo. I highly recommend him.
Verified patient
I've been a patient of Dr. Requena since the early 2000s. He is an awesome doctor. I lived in Nashville for a few years and saw another ENT that insisted I have sinus surgery due to sinus blockage. I moved back to the area just a few months after that (without having the surgery) and had Dr. Requena review and he stated he saw nothing that would warrant him performing surgery. I have and would highly recommend Dr. Requena!
Verified patient
Very attentive and listened well. Good explanation and gave us an idea of follow up. Did not leave us with any questions unanswered.
