I have seen Dr. Hillsamer for 30 yrs. on and off. He addresses my issues and makes me feel better quickly without surgery. I value his time and effort! Thank you for all your help. I would highly recommend him.

This place is a joke!!! Run away as fast as you can!! They don't know how to file insurance! Then turn you over to a lawyer's office. Now the bill is 500.00 instead of 200. Rude! Did nothing for me but waited 2 1/2hours on the with no apology.

Dr. Hillsamer did a fine job the times I've seen him, and have no reason not to recommend him to others. Will be having sinus surgery this summer, so I'll have more to review in a couple months. Thought I'd write a review because his rating was low due to an overly angry patient who thought he deserved one star for a long wait. Really? I've seen him several times, and each experience has been fine. No issues, and no longer wait than anywhere else. People are so obnoxious.

All things being equal, please choose another physician. He put my daughters ear tubes in and while his clinical work was adequate, his bedside manner is atrocious. He told a patient horror story in front of her that frightened her to the point that she cried all night long afterward. He also seems to believe his time is more important than his patients, never offering an apology or explanation for long office waits (>45 minutes).
