Dr Kent was awesome

Dr. Kent is an exceptionally intelligent, insightful and reflective physician. He asked more targeted question and gave more tailored answers and advice than any other physician I have ever had. Relative to the other consultations and care I have had for sleep apnea, Dr. Kent is leagues above the others. I wish I had started out under his care.

What made me feel better was the nurse popped in to say the Dr was outside reviewing my medical history. I always like it when I know the doctor know some of my medical history so I then know he is interested in helping me.

In my opinion there is no better ENT than Dr. David Kent. He always listens and helps me to understand what's going on with me. I appreciate him so much and glad he is my doctor.
