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 can’t thank Dr. Gartlan enough for changing my life! Not only can I breathe better, but I sleep better and I’m more active. Dr. Gartlan explains everything thoroughly and really takes care of his patients. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Gartlan and his staff.

Highly Recommended for ENT Care
I unfortunately have a history of ear and hearing issues, so I’ve seen my share of ENTs over the years. I sought out Dr. Gartlan for a second opinion on a sudden hearing loss issue and could not have been more impressed. He listened carefully to my concerns, conducted a thorough exam and then described precisely what is happening with my hearing and discussed treatment options. He took his time and patiently answered my questions. Dr Gartlan is a great guy. I highly recommend him for any ENT care.

First time visiting this office didn’t like the way they conducted business had to sit in my car to give my intake information for my insurance and then had to wait to talk with a rude nurse to ask me why I was there all in my car more personal information to go inside to give them my insurance information again and wait in doctor office for 15mins and say they don’t take my insurance really you could have been did that when I made the appointment really incompetent and I won’t recommend or go there again in my opinion I wouldn’t say prejudice but I wouldn’t say their not either

Outstanding! He was very patient and answered all of my concerns. The wait was not long. And even if it was, it was/is the worth the wait. I think complaining about wait time, and wanting in depth communication about your personal health takes time, for every patient. So when we go to a doctor, or dentist, its worth the wait. To many are pushed to hurry us thru, but not Dr. Gartlan. My surgery is now finished and I could not believe how painless it really was, and how quick I recovered. I was in good hands with Dr Gartlan and will recommend him to everyone!! Thank you Dr. Garlan.

Dr. Gartlan is a phenomenal doctor. He did a major reconstructive surgery on my ear after many years of difficult cleanings due to a tumor I was born with. Before this surgery I had seen many other doctors over the course of 15 years and had reoccurring ear infections and many issues. I couldn’t go more than 3 months without going to get my ear cleaned. Nobody could give me an actual solution, until I finally went to Dr. Gartlan. He recommended reconstructive surgery to fix my ear cavity for a smoother cleaning process. Since doing the surgery, I now only have to go for a check up once a year!! I never thought that day would come and it’s all thanks to Dr. Gartlan and his knowledge and expertise. I’d recommend him to anyone and everyone.

He is very good at what he does. I would recommend him 100%. Sometimes the wait times are frustrating, but I understand that emergencies can come up which can impact the whole day.
