Patient Reviews
Nov 08, 2024
All 3 of my young boys have seen Dr. Hood now for various ENT related issues and has been nothing short of amazing every time we see him. My middle son had kissing tonsils at 2 years old, we were referred to CHKD ENT and they put him through so many unnecessary tests such as a sleep study, speech evaluation and wanted to do an endoscopy. They did not listen to my concerns for his speech or quality of life at that point. We scheduled an appt with Dr. Hood, since he put my older son's ear tubes in a year earlier and Dr. Hood took one look at his tonsils and immediately agreed they needed to be removed. My youngest son is having the same issue with enlarged tonsils and he will be removing them also. He never pushed me to do that, he always asked what I wanted to do as the parent. He is kind, courteous and has impeccable bedside manner. I have and will continue to refer him to anyone or continue to have him as my family's ENT.
