Dr Soose listened, explained and literally illustrated my 1) medical issue and then 2) treatment options and why each was appropriate. We agreed on treatment path and process forward. He then walked us to an associate for additional support and care.

Dr. Soose took me seriously and noticed an anomaly on a sleep study nobody else caught or could be bothered to tell me about. As a result, he referred me to another provider. I am now hopeful I'll get the help I've needed for so long. A bonus: Dr. Soose saw I'm due for a bone density test and submitted an order. That was really above and beyond.

You literally can't get any doctor better than Dr. Soose!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/5/2025
This was one of the best specialist visits I have had in years. I can not speak enough about the very connective way that Dr. Soose interacted with me. He spent time to listen and then respond to every question or observation I presented to him. He did this in a way that showed me he cared by eye contact and facial expression. He performed a VERY thorough ENT scope based exam and then took the time to play back the video of what he saw to with me. Rarely do I experience medical clinicians that take this kind of time with me. What a wonderful back to basics practice he is running (solid human interaction without a silly dictation headset on while performing the exam, proper eye contact, proper level of compassion and concern backed by wonderful suggestions to help, etc). THANK YOU

Although I wasn't a good candidate for the inspire, they made me feel quite confident that my needs were being addressed.
