I had been deaf for almost 40 years, now I can hear! Maybe not what many would call heroic but he is a hero in my eyes (and ears). Entire staff is attentive and helpful - if I could give more than 5 stars I would.

DR. VAN ESS PERFORMED SURGERY ON MY RIGHT EAR A FEW YEARS BACK. HE GAVE MY LIFE BACK TO ME. HE IS A HIGHLY SKILLED SURGEON AND KIND AND COMPASSIONATE I NOW HAVE A PROBLEM IN MY LEFT EAR AND TRYING TO GET IN TO CONSULT WITH HIM AGAIN. HE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST IN MY OPINION I WOULD RATE HIM AT LEAST 10 STARS.

Dr. VanEss and his whole team are tbe best i have ever met. Dr. VanEss really listens to and explains whatever your diagnosis is in detail and to where you completely understand what it is. If you dont understand or are confused he makes sure to stay with you and explain until you do understand. He throughly explains whatever surgery he recommends and goes over it step by step with you. He really cares for his patients and treats you as if you were a close friend or relative, not just another patient or statistic. He is extremely profressional but also caring and understanding. He is great at what he does and you can tell he takes pride in his work. I would recommend him to anyone who has any issues with their ears, nose, or throat. I refuse to see any other surgeon than him!!
