Hearing, tinnitus, and pediatric ENT: diagnostic audiology, auditory-preservation strategies, and gentle care.
Patient-first practice: in-office procedures to reduce recovery time, advanced diagnostics, and shared decision-making to empower informed patients.

Dr. Paul Spring saw me for an emergency situation. He fit me into his busy morning schedule as his first patient. I was very nervous. He calmed me down by explaining the problem to me and how he would treat it. He had a pleasant disposition and I felt I was in good hands. I highly recommend Dr. Spring.

Dr Spring was my Grandmothers surgeon. Dr Spring and his staff were very compassionate. Dr Spring did 2 surgeries on my Grandmother to remove cancer. Both were done wonderfully. His bedside manner is excellent and he truly adores my Grandmother. He is one of the best at what he does.

My normal ENT is Dr. Hickham but once when he was on vacation I saw Dr. Spring and he is just great too. I love Dr. Hickham, but I was pleasantly surprised that his partner was just as friendly , patient, a good listener, and very good with his treatment as I have always been accustomed to with Dr. Hickham.

His beside manner is fantastic. He takes a great deal of time explaining his diagnosis and treatment plan, and what to expect from surgery. He is also quite talented. He removed an 8 cm tumor from my neck and the suturing is so delicate, it looks like the scar will be very slight. He also corrected a previous misdiagnosis from an ENT in another state.
