Central California Ear Nose & Throat

I recently saw Dr. Tomlinson & was so pleased with my visit. My 2 year old son tagged along and he was incredibly sweet to him too. He was INCREDIBLY thorough during my appointment & put my mind at ease by answering all my questions & explaining what exactly is going on with my issue. I had been to 6 other doctors elsewhere and a dentist too & no one could tell me what was happening. I am so glad I made the choice to just call up & get in to CCENT. All the office staff was amazing & so friendly. The kids waiting room is fabulous & my son cried when we left because he wanted to stay longer! Not every day you get kids crying at the dr because they want to stay! :-) thanks dr Tonkinson for being so thorough!

I had an appointment with Dr Davies, I was not impressed, I felt dismissed and hurried through my very first and only appt with a specialist. I was examined and she couldn’t find any thing wrong, she said I was stressed and needed a massage. I then went to my primary 2 weeks later and discovered nodules on my thyriod. I have had a total thyriodectomy since within 4 months of the ultrasound. How can a specialist for ears nose and throat miss that? One was 3 cm big. Very disappointed, I guess that’s why they call it practicing medicine.

This place really knows what they’re doing. I was having some problems with sleep and other things that I didn’t think at my age I should be experiencing. I was sent to a sleep study and after some careful examination it turns out I needed some help. Dr. teitelbaum and his staff are courteous professional and everyone had a great attitude. If you’re thinking about having a sleep study or having issues with your ear nose and throat this is a place to come.

This review is specifically for the CCENT’s physicians’ hearing services.
I came here to get custom-​made ear molds for sleeping. I’ve had to go back three more times for issues with tinnitus and with the ear plugs coming loose. Every single time, Irma the secretary and Rick who does the ear molds treated me exceptionally. They were really concerned and took the time and effort to find me the right fit.
Rick shaved down one of the ear molds, and then he made new molds so that I can contrast them with the old pair. They also had me come in to see the audiologist due to concerns with new tinnitus issues. I was never charged extra for this or any of the other additional visits.
It’s rare when a business or office treats you with the upmost respect and continues to do so without additional charges. I also had a hearing test done, and the woman (whom I unfortunately don’t remember her name) was very respectful and helpful.
I’m so thankful to Rick and Irma who have been so dedicated in finding me the right fit.

Erica Olsen is wonderful for my sons speech therapy. I would highly recommend her.
Dr Tonkinson is a great doctor. He’s got a great bed side manner.
The office staff Is very friendly and helpful.

STEAM COMING FROM MY EARS!!! Especially the ear that has tinnitus! I made an appointment with Dr. Evans @ CentralCalENT in November. The earliest they could get me in was 2/​27, so I asked to be on a short call list for a cancellation, which never happened. After confirming the appointment yesterday, they called today to reschedule me… FOR MAY!!! After telling them I’d already waited 3 months for the appointment, only to have no better resolution offered, I responded that was intolerable and unacceptable, I’ll find a new provider.

Our appointments are ALWAYS rescheduled. ALWAYS. I have to travel over 50 miles to get over there and have to plan well in advance to make the appointments so it was always a very big deal to change my appointment. When I did, I would always have to ask for the manager, for the front office staff is completely in-​attentive, somewhat rude, defensive, and reactive never proactive. In fact, I just called to cancel my next appointment and when I told the girl I wasn’t coming back, EVER, she casually said that when I wanted to reschedule to just call. Wait. what? I asked if she had heard me and she said she did. I asked her if it concerned her that I was never coming back she said it wasn’t her business why I was canceling. I asked her also if she thought it might be a good idea to get a manager on the phone because I was upset. In my opinion she didn’t think it was. I hung up. Anyway, Dr. Lanier is a good competent doctor but his office staff totally lets him down. Too bad. What a frustrating place.

Met with dr. Tonkinson. He was very rude n unwelcoming. Explained to him my problem n he spoke to me like im dumb n i dont know what im feeling. He then asked where im from n where my parents are from? Were from fresno n wtf does this has anything to do with my appt? He kept saying «your homeland». Its America, you prick. Born in raised in the OC. Stupid ignorant prick. He then made racial remarks saying, «I have been getting a lot of you people with some nasty problems. Not common in America, but u checked out fine.» WTF? Very unprofessional, moody, racist jack ass jerk.

My appointment was made two months out. I changed plans to make sure I would be in town. The day before my appointment, I was called and told that my appointment needed to be rescheduled another two months out. Nevermind… I’ll go elsewhere. I understand that emergencies come up but have some respect for my time as well.

I thought Dr. Weinberg was a biased and grumpy old doctor who seriously lacked in bedside manner. He also did not seem open minded to hearing about recent progressive findings/​reports on sinus issues. He acted like he was unhappy to be at work (considering his age, maybe he is?!). After I went to him, I found out that my boss had also had a visit with him and completely agreed: he seemed aloof and uncaring. As a result, both my boss and I are looking for different ENT doctors.
