My son was having re-occurring ear infections and ear tugging. The ear infections would not clear with antibiotics. So, my pediatrician advised I should go to an ENT. I researched on a couple local moms groups, reviews, etc. and decided between Dr. Lomax, MD and Dr. Schroeder, MD. I decided to go with Dr. Schroeder. I had heard different things about him and was pleasantly surprised when I met him. He is a very pleasant doctor to work with and very smart. He reviewed my sons symptoms and recommended tubes in his ears. I set up the appointment at the hospital to get them done and he came and met with me before and after the surgery to see if I had any questions or concerns. He said that my son's left ear was completely full and he probably had not been able to hear from it in a quite a long time. I am really glad I went through with the procedure. He has recovered well with no issues.
I was able to do my paperwork online before I went to the office which made it easy when dealing with a toddler. They did require payment for the doctor for the procedure before it was done to ensure I would go to the procedure. Some people may have a problem with this, but I understood it. Also, he does have a long wait time. It took me about 2 months to get in. I think if you have a good doctor though and do your research that it is worth waiting for the right doctor. Thanks Dr. Schroeder.
