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.

Dr Kent was extremely professional and caring. He provided an in-depth analysis of my diagnosis, he spoke of possible solution and options. Dr Kent listen well to my wife's and my questions and concerns. Insuring he didn't go on until he had clearly answered. I left his office much more confident in his desire and ability to help me than my previous experience with the healthcare team at Ascension!
