Dr. Edward Hepworth, MD

Dr. Hepworth is the best doctor I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen hundreds of doctors. I’m grateful for his Service as a physician. I’m grateful I met him. So very grateful.

Dr. Hepworth is very kind. Knowledgeable. Explains everything. Listens, and gives expert treatment! One in a million doctor! The very best!

After several surgeries and no explained cause for my Cranial CSF Leak, Dr. Hepworth was a shining light. He found my cause and made repairs accordingly. I wish I had found him sooner in my Leak journey. Above everything else, he leads with curiously, care and passion for treating me with respect, LISTENING and TRUSTING everything I shared. He is a hero.

I saw Dr. Hepworth for pressure in my ear. He diagnosed me with a compressed jugular vein - even though the CT scan report clearly stated there was no jugular vein compression. After two different medications, nothing worked. And, getting in to see Dr. Hepworth on a regular basis to work on my problem, was a major issue. I was finally able to get in to see another ENT who told me that I did not have a compressed jugular vein. The new ENT was able to diagnose my problem and put me on a course of treatment. I spent close to a year seeing or trying to see Dr. Hepworth. I finally got on the right track one month after seeing a new doctor.

Dr. Hepworth recommended a jugular decompression for tinnitus. I got a second opinion and they advised against it and I got a third opinion and they told me flat out not to get this surgery. While I appreciate the doctor's excellent bedside manner and patience, I feel that the recommended treatment was presented as minimally invasive, while this was no the case. He also recommended radiation to my head. I left this office depressed and despondent after he told me that if I didn't get the surgery that I might be more inclined to develop dementia or Alzheimer's. Dr. Love similarly made me feel very panicked when in answering some of my questions said that my tinnitus was likely to get worse. This office had no idea about CBT treatment for tinnitus. If you're feeling despondent about having tinnitus, know that hope is out there. People develop coping mechanisms and get adjusted to tinnitus. Look into hearing aids, the VA's CBT for tinnitus manual, and CBT therapy in general before.

He paralyzed half my face and caused permanent nerve damage to my head and neck that’s left me permanently disfigured and in chronic, debilitating pain. Then, he and the other doctor involved in the procedure lied about how it happened. My life was forever changed because of his negligence. I deeply regret trusting him with my care.

I have not had the pleasure of meeting the good Dr. but, I have visited with his staff. Specifically, Allison and Becca. Both are amazing people; pleasant to talk to. Very good at their jobs. I'd love to see them again, if I could get in touch with them. That said, their contact system is REPREHENSIBLE. No return phone calls; misdirected calls; long wait times - 1/2 hr. wait only to be transferred to the wrong office! I was having trouble with nose bleeds secondary to meds and couldn't get ANYONE to return a call or EVEN TAKE A CALL. Their front end seriously doesn't have a clue... As highly recommended as this Dr. is, I'm surprised there isn't more attention paid to being, Oh, professional with the intake?? Whomever designed this "entry" system should be fired - whomever is in charge of it should be disciplined for putting this presumably outstanding office in such a very bad light. I'm certain this delay has caused an extension of ear my issue as I can't get any idea of what to do.

eagle syndrome

I will start with my eagles surgeries, they were both a complete success. My sinus surgery was a mess. My septum ended up more deviated post surgery than prior. He had the opportunity to fix it on my second eagles surgery but for some reason, said it looked fine. Ct scan a week later revealed it wasn’t fine. Staff is difficult to reach, return calls even post op are delayed. Billed for stuff the insurance covered. Overall, I’m split because two surgeries were successful, one failed and the opportunity was there to fix it but he didn’t. Staff is almost impossible to reach. Have to leave a message and hope they call back.

Dr Hepworth and his entire staff are outstanding, always respectful, kind and efficient. His ability to integrate and address multi system complexities while listening to you as a person set him far above any other. Dr Hepworths fortitude and commitment to learning with other professionals is extraordinary giving his patients the best possible care. He never gives up and is the best advocate you could ever ask for.

Dr. Hepworth is a kind and empathetic provider. He sits and explains what is causing infections and then talks about his treatment plan. He is encouraging and doesn't give up. His staff is also caring.

After struggling for almost 2 years to find a CORRECT diagnosis with numerous doctors, images and procedures, Dr. Hepworth nailed it! He spoke candidly and thoroughly regarding my situation, the surgery, and what to expect afterwards. While in the hospital after surgery, his attention and actions towards my care was above and beyond what I have ever seen from a doctor. He is turning my life around and I know several friends who say everything I have said here. Because he is such a popular doctor, you need to work with his staff quite a bit in between visits with Dr. Hepworth. But his nurses show incredible care and have a wealth of knowledge from Dr. Hepworth. This office is run with great care, respect and knowledge a notch above any other doctor I've seen!

He may be a great doctor but I can’t find out. I can’t get anyone from his office to return my call. Left three message in as many days trying to make an appointment and no one will call me back.

I am so grateful we found Dr. Hepworth. My mom suffered for years and was told by others that nothing could be done. Her surgery by Dr. Hepworth went seamlessly and was nothing less than life changing for her.

I am so grateful that I found Dr. Hepworth. He is an outside-the-box thinker, and his willingness to explore complicated issues is almost unparalleled. He is committed to evidence-based medicine, and he uses this as a foundation to treat conditions not yet well researched - he is operating (literally and figuratively) at the cutting edge of what we understand. He is compassionate and extremely devoted to his patients. He performed surgery on me over a year ago and has continued to follow up with me and explore other potential causes for my high intracranial pressure. His input has been invaluable. Plus, I feel that I can be fully open with him about all my crazy symptoms (can be off-putting to a lot of doctors!) and I can tell him when I have consulted with another doctor without having to manage any ego - an especially refreshing quality. All around great provider, highly recommended.

The best ??

If I could give him 0 stars I would. No one should have to endure what i wen through today. This doctor saw me twice for sever ear pain and ordered a jugular stenosis. When that came up normal he accused me of lying about my pain being worse and told me i had no right to be upset. After having to set an appointment, call three times and write two messages to even get a response from him. He then told me i need to go to Phoenix and see someone there because we were at "an emotional impasse" because i was mad and upset about the way i had been treated. DO NOT TRUST THIS DOCTOR!!!!!

I am a nearly 15-yr Pt of Dr Edward Hepworth. His patient, caring, compassionate bedside manner is only surpassed by his medical expertise, brilliance and continual willingness to think outside the box for people like me, a "zebra," with a rare inner ear disease, A.I.E.D., similiar to Meniere's. He has been a godsend through many medically trying times, and I have referred many sinus and ear patients to Edward J. Hepworth, M.D.

My 11/1/20 review was cut off. The anesthesiologist, nurse, and Hepworth knew I didnt get the protocol steroid shot before my surgery. I had brain damage from this malpractice. It left me like a vegetable. I couldn't function and had to get brain therapy and paid out of pocket for this. Hepworth didn't care. He's a total creep. I will be reporting him to authorities. Please pray that I can sue him for what he did to me. Thank you.

Dr. Hepworth left no stone unturned, to find my Jugular Compression that may have caused a TIA 2 years ago and the debilitating headaches prior to and since then. Dozens of Dr’s had no clue what was happening, but Dr. H found it
