Tilsner Thomas MD

Just a bit out of date.
Tubes should be put in at the office not sent to some hospital.
Crazy old fashioned. Receptionist was really great and helpful…

It was easy to get an appointment. The stafff was very nice and helpful. I was taken back to an exam room at my appointment time. I had a problem with one ear, but the doctor was very thorough and checked both ears, my throat and my nasal area. He answered my questions and took the time to give me complete answers. He didn’t talk over my head or down to me either. The staff was courteous checking me out. I don’t like going to doctors, but this was a positive experience.

While reading through friends’ reviews I found a review about an ENT. It made me want to review my ENT.
Well, Dr Tilsner is a past-​middle-​aged man who reminds me of the scary veterinarian from Beethoven. Although nice, he looks scary. He answers all my ridiculous hypothetical questions and makes me feel like he could sit and talk with me all day.
Every little room in his office has an ear vacuum. If you have never had an ear vacuum experience, go infect your ear so that you can experience this amazing little sucky machine. And sucky is an adverb, not an adjective. It does not suck in the sense that suck means it is bad. It sucks like a vacuum sucks, because this is a vacuum. An ear vacuum. The tip is slightly smaller than a Q-​tip and it just sucks out the puss or wax or whatever else people have on and in their ears. It also has a see through tube leading to the canister so you can watch your puss flow from your ear to the floor.
Dr Tilsner’s practice is made up of a set of small rooms in the San Rafael area of the Carondolet medical park. They gave me very clear directions over the phone but I did not believe that it could be that easy to find this place. So instead of doing what the lady said over the phone, I drove in a giant circle around the park until I finally gave up on trying to make my journey more difficult and decided to park where the lady told me to park and go where the lady told me to go.
