Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I was sent to Dr. Hetherington by my primary care physician. I had hearing testing in his office. I then had an appointment to see him to review the results. I had a visit with him and his attitude was so very negative. I had another one and asked my husband to go with me because my impression was he did not respect women. We went and at the end of his assessment, he said "Or it could be a brain tumor and at your age nothing could be done." My primary care physician ordered an MRI and results showed no sign of a tumor which was good news. I don't need "warm and fuzzy" but I expect courtesy. Perhaps he should have chosen another profession. If I could indicate less than one star, I would do that.

Would not recommend Bozeman ENT. Went to them because my ear was hurting and they ran a CT scan, 1st thing was mention was it could be cancer even before any test were ran. Went to another ENT in Bozeman and all I had was bad acid reflex!
