Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Fantastic person and a great Doctor
I have been treated by Dr Kampsen since 1984. During that time he has been caring, companionate and most kind and has a wonderful sense of humor and a caring heart. He gives you advice to sustain your health, and I feel that his advice has given me a better quality of life. I have found him to be extremely professional and an excellent surgeon. I can truly say that Dr Kampsen and his nurse saved my life. Thank you Dr Kampsen you saved my life. Evelyn Dean

Dr Kampsen is a good doctor in many ways. He did a great job with my septoplasty years ago and actually waived my moms large copay for her surgery because she couldn’t afford to pay. The complaint I have with him is that he doesn’t explain things well and is not compassionate. This lack of explaining things led me to many years of suffering with sinusitis. I will be looking for another ENT.

I needed to find an ENT to check a swelling in my throat from severe allergies. Dr. Kampsen had lots of 5 stars, and I can tell you he earned every one of them. The whole staff here is very caring, patient, and serious about observing the health guildelines. But they also have a sense of humor, which is very important in times of stress. My exam was very thorough: ears, nose and throat, not just what I came in for. The PA was extremely knowledgeable, and answered any questions I had. Dr. Kampsen is a pro and puts you at ease right away. All around a very comfortable experience, with a professional staff. :)

Dr Kampsen was outstanding in improving my sinuses! For years I felt like I was breathing through a straw, and now it's completely better. Very experienced, thorough, friendly, professional. And most importantly delivered results. Very highly recommend him for any sinus issues you may be experiencing. Don't wait any longer, go see him!

I love Dr. Kampsen and his office! After suffering with mouth breathing, allergies, and a history of chronic bronchitis my entire life... Dr. Kampsen made the connection between my deviated septum and breathing problems on my first visit. The process was seamless and I could not be happier with the results. The recovery was uncomfortable, but once the packing was removed, I began to notice a huge improvement in my breathing that continued to improve as the swelling reduced. So thankful!

I was short of breath for the longest time. I have seen other ENT’S but none diagnosed me with a deviated septum. So I had a septoplasty done. Slept without waking up and still feeling tired. Increased my energy, changed my life. I owe thanks to Dr. Kampsen and his staff.

It is great knowing there is a doctor's office out there that treats you as if it matters. They answer all your questions and do not push anything on you. One of the best experiences I have ever had with a doctor's office.

I am a 33 year old male who was sufferig from chronc Sinusitis along with severe nasal polyp's. When I first met Dr. Kampsen I had no idea that I was suffering from any of the above let alone a fungal infection throughout my entire ENT. Dr. Kampsen quickly diagnosed me and began a treatment plan that would allow for me to have surgical repair and remove of my poly's and correction of my septum after a 5 month treatment. Dr. Kampsen is a miracle worker! Surgery went great and I can breath again!
