VERY PLEASENT AND THOROUGH.
Verified patient
Check in was easy because they had invited me to their patient portal prior to the visit. This enabled me to fill out all the forms online so I didn't need to waste time at the doctor's office completing the paperwork. I was taken back quickly and visited with the medical assistant and then the doctor. Dr. Tilton took time to understand my concerns and cover a treatment plan. I will definitely go back if I need to.
Verified patient
I really liked Dr. Tilton. He was a very professional and interested in my issue. Took a lot of time with me, asked a lot of questions and gave me a thorough exam. Will definitely use Dr. Tilton again. Office staff was terrific, too.
Verified patient
My whole experience with Dr. Tilton and his office was exceptional. They reached out to me the morning of the appointment to ask if I could push my time back a couple hours, but this was no problem for me since my schedule was flexible that day. When I was filling out my new patient paperwork, someone from the front desk came over and had me go into an exam room while I filled out my paperwork! I had never had this happen at a drs office before and it felt great because it felt like they were trying to get me seen ASAP. I was seeing Dr. Tilton because I had been dealing with dizziness/vertigo and wasn't sure if it was related to ear wax issues or something else. Dr. Tilton listened to me, asked good questions, and helped me create a plan with next steps. He was professional and kind in how he addressed me and I felt like he was genuinely trying to help me resolve my issue and feel better. I would definitely recommend him and his office.

The office was covid-safe and had meticulous protocols in place! The doctor was non-judgemental of my strange yet funny medical situation and listened. This guy is going to be my ETN specialist for now on.

Verified patient
I was very very impressed with Dr. Tiltons professionalism, and recommendations which definitely worked. I did so well that I didn’t load a follow up appointment I got a personal phone call from him asking how I was doing and if I needed anything. My husband home emergency with nosebleeds and we called Dr. Tilton he never met either one of us before and he felt like he was personal for years took care of my husbands problem with diligence and compassion... we do not find that very often with physicians today.
Verified patient
Dr Tilton is a very thorough physician, asks lots of questions, and made me feel like I was in good hands. I feel the office was exceptionally clean and the staff super polite, including the confirming call. I'm glad I chose this office!
Verified patient
If I could give him 20+ stars I would I was terrified about going to the ENT and he made me feel at ease and comfortable that I will be going every 6 months to see him now.
Verified patient
Dr. Tilton could be the best Dr in Fairfield County. Went in for something simple & discovered a serious condition. As a former teacher, he thought of every detail. Returned calls promptly. As a surgeon, he was well-skilled in handling my situation. Didn't overprescribe antibiotics.
