Avoid this doctor. He is unprofessional and while he can say he is a specialist, he was very demeaning and offensive when I saw him last week. He told me I was doctor shopping and made an inappropriate comment to my husband about his employer. As far as the doctor shopping, I have only been to one ENT prior to my visit with him. I had a sudden hearing loss in my right ear in January. Recently my left ear was exhibiting the same symptoms as the right. I had heard Dr. Syms was excellent and went on the recommendation of the hearing aid center that has fit me with hearing aids. I will give credit to his office though, they scheduled me right away and I was able to see him quickly. I was very scared and upset about my hearing and when the first comment out of the Dr. Sym's mouth was that I was doctor shopping, I should have left the room.
