Dr. Henry Milczuk, MD

My son had a cholesteatoma in his right ear. The only way to treat this is through surgery. My son is also autistic and has sensory processing disorder. Dr. Milczuk was very patient and gentle dealing with my son. He was skilled in removing the cholesteatoma through the ear canal, rather than an incision behind the ear (as most doctors would have done), and my son has been cholesteatoma free for four years now. All follow up visits were pleasant and when I refused the 2nd surgery for titanium implant he was very understanding of my reasons and referred my son to get fitted for a hearing aid instead. If my son ever has reoccurrence of cholesteatoma I would consider moving back to Oregon just so he could see Dr. Milczuk.

We had an appointment this morning and due to highways around the region closing due to accidents and a suicidal person I arrived about 8 minutes late and my son was about 14 minutes late. Even though the paperwork that we received said that if we were more than 15 minutes late we would need to reschedule and we were under that 15 minutes he refused to see us. His staff was well aware about highway closures and were understanding and informed him of it but he still refused even after we pleaded.

We just moved to Oregon not long ago and I was looking for a new cleft team to assist in my daughters treatments. On our very first appointment, not more than 5-10 mins, Dr. Milczuk almost immediately said she needed surgery. When questioned he became short, would not explain or give any other options and pretty much ended the appointment abruptly. Very arrogant throught the appointment.

Referred to Dr. Milczuk through our family practice for a host of concerns: nose bleeds, enlarged tonsils and sinus infections. It was a general visit for his overall ENT problems. I've never experienced such arrogance & dismissiveness from a doctor. My son walked out & said, he's not a nice person. He interrupted you, he interrupted the nurse & I feel sorry for the people that work for him. I made it a teaching moment in how not to treat people. There's always a silver lining

We absolutely love Dr. Milczuk. He has been with us through many ear infections over the last 7 years. He explains options and his approach allows for discussion and possibilities. My daughter's chronic ear infections could have caused permanent damage, but because of Dr. Milczuk, she is well with no greater difficulties. He talks gently but honestly to her, letting her know the reality of the situation without being scary. He gives parents the information to make an informed decision.

My son has been a patient of Dr. Milczuk for over two years now. He has been very thorough, very detailed, and has answered all questions. He has always been very quick to answer emails and or calls. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone.

My child has been a patient of Dr. Milczuk for over 6 months. He has tried minimum evasive treatment. Which I appreciate. When my child needed to be seen, he got away from what he was doing and saw to it. He ordered tests to be sure we were making informed decisions. Every question we asked was answered thoroughly. I would recommend Dr. Milczuk to anyone who asked.

We were very disappointed after our 2 consultations with Dr. Milczuk. He did not review the medical records he had that were basis for our visit. He was unwilling to explain the condition and treatment to us. The medical issues we face require several medical specialties and we see many providers. Our experience with him was the worse we have ever had.
