Patient Reviews
Feb 18, 2017
I highly recommend Dr. Hetzler. I was surfer's ear, medically known as "exostosis of the external auditory canal. My ear canal was 95% shut on both ears. After my surgeries with Dr. Hetzler, my ears opened up to be 90% open. He is the leader for this type of surgery and is well known amongst all the surfing community. He spent a considerable amount of time educating me on my condition, the procedure and what to expect for recovery. He was very personable and professional.
