"I have been a patient of Costal ENT for 26 years. They have always treated since I had cancer that started at the base of my tongue and spread to the right side of my neck and then to my right arm pit. Dr. Mary removed the tumors and arranged for my radiation therapy and my chemo. The doctors decided I should have the radiation and chemo at the same time, which back in 2000 was something new and I would be their first patient to have it done. 26 years later proved they were right. I now follow up with Dr. Newkirk and of course trust him completely. They are an outstanding medical group!"

Dr. Newkirk was the 6th Dr. I saw for my issue which is common but not the particulararea. Surgery went well and so far happy with the results.I'm not nuts over the desk staff. The mexican girl with the blonde streaks is attitudinal. She told me I saw she was available. After I was standing there waiting for a few minutes and another patient came in and she addressed him and asked how she could help him. I asked why I wasn't next. That was her response to me. I thought it was her job to ask if I needed help etc,Not mine . I thought she was still doing something in a patients chart on her computer. The older lady who I think is in charge of the desk always seems bothered or annoyed at everything. I've never been there and seen her pleasant.

I never received a response. Now I do not know what to do about my situation as no one contacted me with another prescription! This sadly disappoints me. Respecting how busy the office is, a call back is not asking too much."
