Dr. Richard Hubbell, MD

Went to get a scan and my nose looked at by doctor hubble was rude and sarcastic cleaned my ears after taking a Quick Look in my nose after told I had possibly had swollen or inflamed airbags. Completely useless waste of my drive and hope he doesn’t have a position at this job any further due to his negative review!

Very thorough...great bedside manner

My 2 year old wasn't talking yet so we were sent to Dr Hubbell. They did two audiology workups that were inconclusive but nevertheless he decided she had fluid in her ears and needed tubes. I have access to medical databases - it turns out tubes are no longer routinely recommended for kids with my daughter's profile, supported by multiple studies and the guidelines of both the Academies of Pediatrics and Otolaryngology. I printed all this out to ask Dr Hubbell but I barely asked one question before he interrupted to say that if he had decided she needed tubes then she needed tubes. He didn't even review her test results. He was clearly annoyed I had questioned his opinion, was out the door in 60 seconds, and sent in an audiologist who had no idea how to address my concerns. We didn't do the tubes and a year later my daughter is talking normally with no evidence of ever having had hearing problems. A doctor refusing to respectfully discuss a patient's concerns is a HUGE red flag.

My son has had speech articulation issues for quite some time. We got a referral to see Dr. Hubble from our pediatrician and needed to wait months to see him. We met with his intern 1st, then the audiologist and finally Dr. Hubble. He came into the room in an obvious hurry, told my son to either open up or he would need to put "this wooden thing" (tongue depressor) down his throat and made me feel stupid when asking questions about possible structural and/or breathing problems. He spent literally 2 minutes with us and were told "he's just slow to develop and needs speech therapy", which my son had already been doing for 1 1/2 years. And...he wanted us to come back to have his ears tested, yet again...which he's had done already. Definite waste of time and my insurance money!

What a jerk. And a flake. After months of waiting to be seen, he only took 3 minutes and basically told us we didn’t know what we were talking about and made us feel stupid. What a waste of time and money. Never again will we go to him, and we would never recommend this guy. Ever.

Dr Hubbell damaged my hearing. I had a microsuction procedure that was extremely painful and loud, so loud that it deafened my hearing and worsened my tinnitus. Now I hear a high pitched distortion in my ear when ever I speak so that I can barely hear my own voice. Any high pitched music or other people speaking also causes this distortion in my hearing. It's like the screeching sound a microphone makes. I previously had the procedure with no problem so I know this was not done correctly.

I brought my 7 day old daughter to have her tongue tie cut because she was having trouble latching. The procedure was done with scissors and he then left me In the room with a screaming baby and left. He came back and told us we could leave. He never scheduled a follow up. Now 5 weeks later I went to a Lactation specialist because I have been sore and she was still having trouble latching and I find out he never did the procedure the right way. She is still very tongue tied. Not reccomended.

Knowledgeable, caring
