This is a really great doctor. He explains everything. I highly recommend this doctor. Been seeing him for my ears, for a long time now.

I think Dr Cullen is probably an excellent physician, however, there is an audiologist in his practice that is awful. She bullied my daughter during the hearing test and then proceeded to stand in the hallway at the door to the waiting area and accuse her of malingering. Unfortunately, Dr. Cullen seemed to go along with it. I am now trying to communicate to Dr. Cullen's nurse that I no longer wish to bring my daughter back to that clinic. But I feel like no one is listening to me. Very frustrated with them right now.

Always been amazing. He does everything he can, to make me feel comfortable, before and after surgeries. I highly recommend going to him. I have never had any complications during or after surgeries. He always makes me feel comfortable at the office and explains everything thoroughly.

Dr. Cullen was great. He was very kind and courteous, and spent a lot of time with me. I would definitely go see him again. His Audiologist on the other hand was extremely unprofessional. She was incredibly rude, short tempered, and had no care about her job. I asked her why I was doing the ear test (my problem is only mildly ear-related) and she told me that ears help you listen. I'm pretty sure I know that. Absolutely ridiculous. And that was only the tip of the iceberg. She was short haired, with glasses, and medium height and build. If you see her, run. I loved Dr. Cullen, but her attitude was unacceptable. Sadly, I am not sure I'll be back because I don't want another run in with her. She does not reflect well on the clinic.

Dr. Cullen was terrific...he listened well and seemed to genuinely care. If I were to have issues with hearing in the future...I would definately use him and will absolutely recommend him to others. Lora
