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.

Great doctor
I went to Dr. Inman for a deviated septum and will be having surgery soon. He has been fantastic through the 2 appointments I’ve had so far and can’t imagine that changing. He is easy to understand, listens to me and has made me feel very comfortable that my surgery will go well.

Yeah, no thanks. This guy is a special kind of jerk. Not only is he rude to his patients, he's rude to his staff and openly humiliates them. Children can't tell when someone is a phony, arrogant, condescending windbag. Adults can, and this practice is CHOCK FULL of same. Skip this entire practice. The staff is catty and sarcastic. They cram patients in like sardines, consistently run several hours late, reschedule any patient more than 7 minutes late, and refuse to bill co-insurance. Their goal is their profit....not your health.

Dr. Inman is the absolute best ENT in Winston and Kernersville. He cares about his patients and it shows. His office staff and on-call nurses are very responsive and capable.

Was referred to Dr. Inman for my diagnosis of a suspicious thyroid nodule. He has been an impeccable physician, with excellent bedside manner and a fun and upbeat attitude. He has listened to me throughout the process, performed additional tests I requested and made sure every step of the way I felt comfortable and "heard." In the end I had thyroid cancer and was happy to choose him as my surgeon. He was very quick and thorough with the procedure. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Inman!

Dr. Inman has been amazing with both of my children. He makes them feel comfortable and with toddlers that is a challenge. We never have to wait long to be seen and Dr. Inman is the best ENT in my opinion. Would highly recommend to anyone, I drive 45 minutes one way to his office because of how well he treats my family and there is an ENT 5 minutes from my house.

Dr. Inman gives appropriate time per appointment/issue and always with a friendly and upbeat demeanor. Dr. Inman is an excellent listener, gives opportunity for patient interaction/questions, and provides explanation, remedy and/or course of action.

Had an appointment with him and I arrived 5 minutes late due to traffic, and receptionist said this dr didn't want to see me and told her to reschedule my appt. first off, I didn't make the appointment so I wasn't aware of it, I think it's very unprofessional on his part, while he had a waiting room full of people, to tell me to reschedule for something I had no control over and if it was because of the paperwork I could've done it while I was waiting or stayed after the appt to finish it, awful

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Inman?
Had up his mind about a diagnosis before he even walked in. Didn't ask questions and didn't listen to to whas I said or was asking. Condescending, "talked over" me, insisted on providing long explanations about what was not wrong with me even after I asked him to focus on what WAS wrong. Used medical and anatomical terminology a layperson could not understand, seemingly to intimidate. Dismissive to the point of being bullying. Told me that my symptoms were psychsomatic. Horrible experience.
