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. Houser was great. He has the best bedside manner of all the doctors I’ve encountered. He listened to my concerns and address them with easy to understand non medical term. I have been dealing with chronic congestion for a while prior to speaking with Dr. Houser. I ended up having septoplasty with bilateral turbinate reduction done with Dr. Houser in June 2021. My recovery was super fast and easy. The result is life saving/changing for me. It has been about a month post op and even though I still have some more healing to go but I can say that I have my life back.

I had a previous septoplasty that failed and failing to breathe well. I saw (and am currently) seeing Dr. houser and as a patient feel as though he genuinely listens to my concerns and tries to find the best approach. he is very knowledgeable and compassionate. I would highly recommend him to anyone i know as i feel they can get the best result with him. Thank you Dr. houser for taking the time with me.

I asked if he would follow me and he said only if the need arises. He failed to understand my condition affects other issues regarding my overall health.

I had septoplasty, turbinate reduction, ethmoidectomy surgery for chronic sinusitis 6/2018. It was high-risk due to previous eye injury, but I was confident & comfortable in Dr. Houser's abilities. He's extremely knowledgeable, experienced, dedicated in what he does. He takes time to listen to concerns, answer questions. I feel he genuinely cares about my health, well-being. It's been 12 days since surgery- I'm a bit swollen, but feel great! I'm so thankful he is my ENT & I highly recommend him!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Houser?
I think Dr. Houser is competent, but I was rushed through my visit, and he had nothing to offer for the problem I came in for. He also didn't let me know that a procedure he did in the office would incur significant charges. I would never go back to him, because Metro charges hospital fees in addition to doctor's fees, so I paid a lot of a fruitless visit. Also, it's impossible to call the Dr.'s office; you have to call a generic Metro answering service if you have a question.
