It is important to me to find a doctor I can trust. Dr. Currens treated me with a professional demeanor, was efficient and thorough and reassured me about my condition. I am taking my daughter to see him as well.

Dr. Currens is no longer with WNC ENT but has moved to another practice. My daughter has been his patient at both and we are more than pleased with the care that he has provided her from the time she was an infant to now in elementary school. He is great!

this doctor improperly diagnosed me and, after breaking my jaw more than it originally was and needing to do a corrective surgery that had lasting defects, left me in the dark about rehabilitation after the surgery. i do not recommend him!
