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.

Dr. Eskew gives me hope in the medical field. He is a true example of a wise, logical, and composed doctor. He is so knowledgeable and I truly believe that he is not in this field solely for profit — he’s in it to HELP OTHER PEOPLE. My words can’t describe how highly I think of and respect him. There are only two doctors I can say this about and he is one of them. If you listen to any review let it be this. He has good intent of getting to the problem and helping you improve quality of life. He is neutral and equable with good intentions. That is so rare to find in the medical field especially in Austin. You may not get every answer and progress but if any ENT can solve your problems it will be him. I pay out of pocket to see him and I wouldn’t change a thing. He is worth every dollar. Thank you for everything you do Dr. Eskew. This is a doctor you need to see <3

The absolute best!
Always takes the time to look after my sinus issues. I don’t know where I’d be if not for his perseverance with my odd situation.

Ear infections
I had ear infections all my life, in summers from swimmer’s ear, winters from cold. Dr. Eskew did a procedure on my eustacian tubes that permanently stopped all the ear infections. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Eskew for his knowledge and skill.

Integrity w/ heart of gold
I first saw Dr. Eskew for a parotid tumor in the mid 1990s which he successfully removed (no small feat). He also fixed my deviated septum which immediately ended long-standing chronic sinusitis. He was recommended to me by an anesthesiologist who had often worked with him in the OR and told me what a meticulous surgeon he is. Dr. Eskew is also one of the kindest souls I have ever met. I still see him as does my husband (another parotid patient) as well as several friends I’ve sent his way. He exudes true care for his patients which, in turn, helps ease the angst. We dearly love him!!!

Dr. Eskew literally saved my life and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t offer up gratitude for him. His professionalism, expertise, and incredible bedside manner are only three tiny reasons to choose him as you ENT. He is hands down the kindest physician I’ve ever met (former healthcare employee). Thank you, Dr. Eskew for all that you do for your patients. We are so very blessed by you.

Always excellent. His first and only priority is to take excellent care of his patient. There may be a wait time and I always wait with patience, knowing that his every minute is given to taking the time to give his best to his patients. That's worth waiting for. Every visit is as pleasant and professional as it could possibly be. Best ENT in central Texas, hands down.

Dr Eskew is who I was sent to when they found a nodule on my thyroid. He ended up having to remove the thyroid and is also helping with attempting to fix my paralyzed vocal chord. He is absolutely wonderful with his patients. He takes his time with each one and goes over everything that is happening. If you leave your visit with him with any Un sans weed questions, it will be because you didn’t ask the question. He fully explains every step he will be taking and anything he feels needs to be covered with his patient. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Eskew for any ENT issues anyone would have.

Dr Eskew is an amazing, professional, personable, highly skilled doctor and surgeon. He fixed my severely deviated septum, removed a painful bone spur and a cyst recently. I can now breath properly, do not have painful headaches and no longer use the myriads of allergy pills that I have all if my life. Other doctors gave me pills to help me breath, and that was not the issue. His staff are wonderful and caring also. He is the very best, most efficient doctor I have ever been to. I feel better now than I ever have.

Hands down best ENT doctor in Texas. He always make times for all of his patients even if it messes with his schedule. But he always has a solution to whatever allergy problem you have. I highly recommend him as a doctor.

Dr. Eskew is an extremely skilled physician and a wonderful person with a great bedside manner. He is the example of what all doctors should be. My only complaint is that he is so popular it is very difficult to get in to see him. If you have an emergency situation, you should have your referring doctor call Dr. Eskew so the main office knows it is an urgent appointment.

I could go on and on about Dr Eskew and how amazing our experience has been with his office staff, his personal knowledge, the surgery itself, and the care we received from him overall, AMAZING! I'm going to say that I'm very critical from the get go with anyone caring for my child, but I would trust Dr Eskew everyday of the week. Thank you for your genuine practice, it's harder to find than you think. L
