I was satisfied with the help Dr. Jarboe gave me. I could tell he sees several patients a day and perhaps forgets I only see him once. It’s very important to tell your patient what you are going to do, why you are doing it and what they can expect because of it. He asked pertinent questions and seemed sincere to get to the bottom of my issue. He did recommended I consider another possible answer for my situation, which I appreciated. I left satisfied with the testing and his expertise.

Dr. Jarboe listened to address my concerns. He was friendly, and took the time needed to clean my ear and restore my hearing. He also took the time to explain ear cleaning methods. I left the office happy and satisfied.

Unfortunately, Dr. Jarboe didn't seem very knowledgeable. I can tell he didn't read up on my chart or the assistants notes. Its almost like he seemed frightened, very ready to get visit over with quickly. He also prescribed a lot on antibiotics... I was shocked, especially considering I already had 10 days worth. This is something the VA would do, I use private care because the VA care is trash. I expect better care from the private side. Dr Richman though (my regular ENT doctor) is a gem!

Dr jarboe was great! Office front end bad. Surly Not helpful Lazy I would say several of the women would be included with this remark One of them asked my name as she was holding the sign in sheet. I said my name name is right in your hand. She said w/o looking at the sheet that she could not read my printed name. We need better and more intelligent staff members
