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.

Don't trust her!
She cut out my reconstruction I had done previously. She was supposed to put a tube in my ear and FORGOT about my previous surgery. She then tried to cover it up and refused to see me and tell me what happened.

Do NOT go here.
Dr. Compton puts in little to no effort with returning phone calls, is an excellent display of inexcusable irresponsibility, and practitioners repeatedly rush patients out, even those recovering from surgery the same day. You're much better off going somewhere you'll actually be given time, patience and proper care with someone who doesn't ignore contacting those who have medical problems in need of help.

I couldn’t tell you if she’s good or not because no one ever answers the phone there or returns calls. Totally incompetent. I was referred to her by my allergist. I don’t think i even want to see her after the unresponsiveness.

I saw Dr. Compton for a blocked ear. She easily removed the blockage quickly and painlessly. I enjoyed the visit because she was very "upbeat" and personable. I went to another doctor in the area previously and was not impressed at all. I would gladly recommend Dr. Compton

Dr Compton removed half of my thyroid. I had a great experience in her office. The surgical center she uses is great as well. My experience all around has been very positive.

Dr was very professional, caring, and knowledgeable. She listened, answered my questions, went over produces and gave me 3 options and after explaining, let me make the decision what I wanted to do rather than suggesting the most invasive and costly one. Having explained every thing I felt that turbinate reduction done in office and stint put in sinuses would resolve my issues rather that having surgery at hospita, she agreed and felt that would resolve my issues. Finally after trying to find a Dr that listened to the pt and not just making money, I chose her to by my ENT and do in house procedure. In addition her staff was friendly, helpful, & professional.

In the beginning fine, wife and I had both been there several times. then when it came to an EMERGENCY she could not squeeze us in. I do believe it's more her staff that will not pass information to her but only looks at the schedule wanting to book 3 weeks out as my wife remains in bed after 2 falls and 2 visits to the hospital in 4 days due to middle or inner ear problem according to emergency room and primary care doctors who telling us to get her to a ENT ASAP. Wife remains in bed for 5 days now due to no balance.

Seems overwhelmed by number of patients or just doesn't care. Unfortunately, she's the only ENT in the area so she is in demand and doesn't need to provide quality care. The area could use a QUALITY ENT practice.

We came from Clearwater down to Punta Gorda to find answers. We were given the run around in Clearwater with multiple doctors who couldn’t tell us why my boyfriend had an englarged mass on his neck. Months we went with worries and concerns. No one would listened to us or ease our mind, simply just kept sending us to get tests done that were not providing answers. Dr Compton listend to all our concerns, took us in as new patient and surgery, biopsy and follow up appointment all with a little over
