"I've always had a positive experience at coastal ear nose and throat. Doctor Houston is the best doctor, he listens and he's very caring. He has helped me with my ears for 12 years. My visits go very well. Thank you Doctor Houston Today is 7/15/2026 I'm adding to my post about Doctor Houston I think he should be on the cover of People magazine with great articles and reviews and his opinion of his experience with all different challenges he tackles with his profession everyday. Plus I absolutely think he should be on GMA to explain all about our ears,noses,and throats. He and his other colleagues and staff are wonderful! Over the years he has taken care of my son, grandson and another colleague took care of my granddaughter. Each visit or check up Doctor Houston gives you a positive outlook and explains everything to his fullest to his patients. I've been a patient for 14 year as of January 2024!"
"Dr Houston is great. I have been his patient for 25 years- now my son who is 7 is also a patient. He is so skilled in his area of expertise that he performs what needs to be done with ease and minimal discomfort in such a short period of time. He was great with my son. Extremely knowledgeable and very direct which I can appreciate. Highly recommend. My son needed his nose cauterized due to nasal hemorrhages and he made this process seamless. Engaging my son in conversation about his legos and before you know it we were done! Highly recommend!"
"Dr. Houston answered many of my questions and prevented another nose 🩸 bleed and verified that I have a deviated septum that is not fixable at the moment. Thank you for a very good inspection and for adding medicated gauze for my nose."

"Dr. McAfee is a fantastic doctor and truly an expert in his field.I was suffering from hearing loss and it was becoming more frustrating every day not being able to communicate with people. I was going to another ENT practice before going to see Dr. McAfee. The other ENT recommended hearing aids, which helped a little at first. After multiple visits and many adjustments I was at a point where this practice could no longer help.I met Dr. McAfee a few years ago and he along with Dr. Sean Houston had suggested that I might have otosclerosis, which was causing my hearing loss. Dr. McAfee had suggested I have a stapedectomy procedure to help with the hearing loss. Dr. McAfee explained the procedure, the risks, and answered all questions I had.After 2 successful procedures, my hearing has improved tremendously! I am very grateful and fortunate to have met with Dr. McAfee. He has definitely improved my quality of life. I highly recommend Dr. McAfee to anyone who has any issues regarding Ear, Nose, and Throat."
"Dr. Huston has been my ENT since I was 12 years old and I am now 22. I had a LOT of issues with my sinuses and breathing. Dr. Huston took his time to access everything I was feeling. He completed two surgeries on me, tonsils, and also fixed my deviated septum. To this day I never have issues breathing through my nose. I breathe deeper and easier than ever before and my monthly sinus infections have ceased. I would recommend him to anyone :)"
"Amazing, smooth experience. In and out he fixed my broken nose. Cool, nice , funny guy and great at what he does. Best doctors office experience I've had."
