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.

He was absolutely the worst. He overbooks so the wait is long. I went in for ringing in my ears. They did a hearing test and claimed I had hearing loss and would need a hearing aide. They completely disregarded my suggestion that I couldn't hear because I had ringing. He also rushed through my appointment, I think I got 5 minutes of his time. He didn't offer anything except come back next year maybe you will be ready for a hearing aide and shoved a paper in my hands about tinnitus. May I mention here no vitals were taken. I went to my primary care doctor a few weeks later and my blood pressure was high. I was given blood pressure medication and the ringing is getting less. I highly suggest going to another ENT.

First of all he completely overbooks. His office is full of patients. Since they had me waiting over an hour I noticed that almost everyone was there for hearing aides, He graced me with 5 minutes of his time, only telling me I had slight hearing loss, as if they could tell since I had tinnitus since I had water in my ear. Nothing I said would he explore, everything was next year come back and maybe you will need a hearing aide. When I kept asking him questions, I guess my 5 minutes were up so he handed me a piece of paper and said read this. Would not recommend.

Poor bedside manner, talks fast, doesn’t get to know any of his patients, I feel like just a number. The assistant that came in both time didn’t even acknowledge my presence (no smile, eye contact, Nada). I feel so uncomfortable walking back. Tension felt within staff.

I have had two visits with Dr. Powell. After a 30 minute wait in the main lobby my visit was productive. Much like other reviews he used a camera to look up my nose but told me what he was doing and it cost me over $100 out of pocket. The meds he prescribed are working like a charm. I went back for an allergy test and after 45 minutes after my appointment time I was finally called from the lobby. Appointment went well except apparently I didn't understand the meds I had been taking and had stopped one for the allergy test and I didn't need to stop taking it. My time is also valuable and if I am made to wait 30 minutes or more again I will stop receiving treatment from Dr. Powell.

Wait times are horrible – Sep 21, 2019
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Powell?
For years, I chronically lose my voice when I walk into certain facilities or homes. I recorded my voice before entering the office and within 1 min my voice disappeared. I record my voice 30 min after leaving the office and it’s back to normal. I am highly allergic to animals, molds, dust, plants and foods (all tested). He looked at my throat and said I had a gas problem and referred me to a speech therapist for my voice. He also scanned me and said I had a deviated septum which he was quick to schedule for surgery. He does not have a good bedside manner, didn't listen to me, didn’t explain. Just felt like I was a number and not a person. Gave me rx for my stomach problems.

Was not great, I don’t know where the five star reviews come from? Told me ouch when he looked at my swollen tonsils and said they were touching but he couldn’t or wouldn’t do any thing, he didn’t tell me a thing more than my regular pcm told me, I was actually upset Thinking that my insurance had to pay when I hadn’t even received anything or Any thing new the whole five min visit. He’s a money grabber but nothing extraordinary about his care or bed side manner. I’m in pain and nothing.

Stay Away! He looked in my nose and throat, proceeded to squirt something in my nose, said "let that work a while" and walked out of the room. I was so confused! A girl came in with a form for me to sign and I asked her what was happening, she said he was going to use a camera through my nose into my throat. I don't know how much they charge the insurance, but there were so many people "assisting" him, from the girl that came in to take notes, to another girl that brought in the equipment, to

Completely disappointed. Dr was in such a hurry. Squirted something in my nose without telling me what it was, left the room, a girl came in with a form for me to sign so I asked her, turned out it was to numb me for a camera, he rammed that down and said I was inflammed from allergies but saw no reason for my complaint of congestion. Gave me an rx for meds. Probably spent a whole 10 minutes with me including the scope time. Horrible bedside manner, didn't listen to me at all. Other staff wasok

Dr Powell has provided service to my toddler as well as myself. He performed surgery on my son and my husband and I appreciated his follow-up calls as my son had to be admitted into the hospital from the surgery center. The staff at the Riverview and Brandon location are always pleasant and professional.
