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.

Thankful to Dr. Ente
Dr. Ente was very knowledgeable and kind about my condition. He listened patiently, was helpful and very encouraging. He knew how to help me. Thankful. Two dear friends recommended him also, and they were right!

Dr. Ente is one of the best! He respects your time unlike other Dr.’s offices where they make you wait even for an hour. He tells you what’s wrong and what can be done about it. I love Dr. Ente, I wish all doctors are as disciplined as him. His staff is also amazing! I would recommend him to family members and friends!

From the moment I walked into the office I felt welcome. The front desk was warm and friendly. Dr. Ente took ample time to understand what I was experiencing with my migraines and was attentive to my concerns. I, of course was fearing the worst, but he reassured me that I was going to be okay. At the end of the visit, he let me know he was going to be out of town next week and gave me his cell phone number to call and let him know how I was doing. I left feeling heard and confident!

After reading the last two comments I almost didn't keep my referral to Dr. Ente. I called my own doctor who referred me and he said he doesn't understand where these bad comments were coming from. I went to see Dr. Ente and had no problems whatsoever. He is a fine doctor.

I felt ignored and left feeling abandoned. He didn't have my MRI scans and was unprepared. He didn't let me talk. He told me that my brain disease doesn't cause symptoms, although you can look them up on the internet. If you are looking for help, do not go to the doctor. HORRIBLE.

Terrible. He didn't listen unless it had to do with the ACA failing people (as he in turn fails a patient....)
