Great experience with Dr. Close and staff!
I was added as a patient at the last minute and I appreciated that.
Dr Young is very trustworthy and thorough.
Great place. Dr. Wright is the best!
Always a positive experience from the time you step in the door.
Continuous excellence in medical care and patient support..
Arrived early. Served early. Excellent service. Murlean Hall
Very friendly and professional, would highly recommend!!
Kind staff and no waiting! Just felt a little rushed once with doctor.
Had a great experience here with Dr. Simplot. I can breathe (and sleep) so much better now.
Didn’t have to wait long. Dr. Simpleton listened to my concerns.
Got my son last minute due to an emergency- exceptional care from everyone! Thank you!
always a quick visit. great staff. no complaints.
I totally appreciate all the professionalism and friendliness that is Iowa ENT Center!!
Got me in and out with no issues, everyone was pleasant and informative.
I would tell everyone to go see Tim Simplot. He is very upfront and knows what he is doing
Good visit. Dr. was very engaged and good listener!
Everyone was very professional and helped me with my issue with my ears.
We love Dr. Griffith he is so amazing and so kind!
Great staff. Kind and caring. Took the time to talk, explain procedures and answer questions.
It seems a bit early to review. As we have just begun the treatment. So far so good.
They charged me over $400 for a nose cautery. It took him 15 minutes. A nose cautery.
They just make me wait for an hour , and I think they for got about me , I got there at 2:00 pm , the other 5 persons show up after me , and the stuff just sleep me …
They were very nice and precise took their time and looked at me they did a very good job
We love Dr. Young but the staff in the office are SO rude!
Joy Hesse is a terrific resource for singers (or anybody else who cares about their vocal health)!
Dr. Simplot is a wonderful doctor and does great work. Listens to patient concerns and symptoms.
Been going here for years due to sinus issues. Cauterizing every 3 months. It saved me from sinus headaches!
Very courteous and professional staff. They took the time to discuss our concerns and did not try to rush us through.
seemingly nice people but none of them know anything. can’t answer simple questions like how much it will cost. wasted so much time for nothing.
Very friendly from the front desk extending all the way through my visit. Every procedure was explained before it happened. Afterwards I was able to get immediate results and see the video of my exam.
IOWA ENT cares about each person so much. Dr gupta and staff are fantastic. Thanks for always being there.
Appointment waiting was short, a well oiled practice. Glad my primary Dr referred me.
Such an efficient and friendly staff.
Dr.Wright and his PA Kevin provided excellent care.
Had sinus surgery, I was treated so good. I highly recommend this place. From the front desk to surgeon to after care I have no complaints. Dr. Simplot was awesome.
They are very nice and helpful. They listen to me and they are very passionate and perfesonal i highly recommend them thank you iowa ENT Center PLLC.
The staff and Dr. Griffiths are excellent. I have been pleased with Iowa ENT and would recommend them
Dr. Young and his staff are absolutely the best! I wouldn’t trust my daughter with anyone else.
Just called to talk with dr on call, the lady that pick up was rude and sounded like I was an inconvenience to her, she should never work with costumer service, especially at a doctor’s office. The doctors are great and had great experience with the other ladies in the office.
Very surprised how smooth everything went and how little pain I had. Dr. Simplot and his team did an incredible job.
I was in and out quickly. Several tests to address my problems were preformed. Kevin listened and answered my questions. One more check to find an answer. Thanks everyone at Iowa ENT.
The clinic has always been professional, but extremely friendly every time I had an appointment
Initial meeting with Joy Hesse was great. I am looking forward to working with her to improve my voice.
I’ll just say I am very happy I chose to go to Dr. Dennis Porto of WDM and not here. Not everyone who can achieve a medical doctorate , can also succeed in a pleasant social or “bedside” manner. Dr. Porto is both. Knowledgeable and caring. I will never go back to IA ENT or refer anyone there.
Great experience with Dr. Young. He was very thorough, knowledgeable, honest, and truly caring towards my child. I highly recommend!
I called and asked if a doctor could help me with a rare dysfunction, they told me there was a doctor that would see me, I drove 3 hours to get there just to have the doctor try to test me for things I’ve already been tested for and know I …
I called to make an appointment (New Patient) due to our local ER (Marshalltown) unsuccessfully removing a corn kernel from my son’s ear. They got us in right away and Dr. Wonnell was very patient and had a trick up his sleeve to painlessly remove it. Highly recommend Dr. Wonnell and his staff!
Always a pleasure to visit Iowa ENT Center. So satisfying to receive treatment at this facility. It makes my life so much easier.
Very thorough and prompt, no long waits. Dr. Wright is very nice and does not rush. Have had 2 good experiences here!
Dr. Young and all his staff were very polite and helpful. Answered all of our questions and made sure we were given the best route for a solution.
We have been very impressed with Dr. Gupta and his whole team! Thank you for working with both our kids and making it a great experience!
I was referred to dr young by my lactation consultant. I got an appointment only days after calling. Dr young was wonderful with my 3 month old, he explained what was going on and was able to perform the procedure he needed in office the same day! I would highly recommend dr young and the staff!!
I had a great experience with Dr Stephen Griffith while at the Ent office . He answered all my questions regarding my reason for my ongoing sinus problems.
I jst feel like all of that could of been handled from over the phone cuz I live in fortdodge an dnt hav the best fuel friendly car so gas an food expenses could hav been avoided I mean we drove two hours there an updated info an he seen dr …
Didn’t even get past the front desk when trying to schedule an appointment. The lady I was talking to was rude, didn’t want to answer my question and sounded like I was taking up her time. Only after I expressed how I felt, did she change …
The staff was friendly upon arrival and there was minimal wait time. The doctor was very knowledgeable and made my child feel very comfortable.
Great doctors. Don’t expect prompt service. There is a sign that says “Please check with receptionist if you have waited more than 20 minutes after checking in”. I waited 30. I know this can be a delicate thing to ask about. So I politely …
Very friendly and caring staff. Always on time with appointments. Have helped with my sinus problems immensely. I highly recommend.
I have no complaints with my visit. The staff seemed very professional. Dr. Simplot allowed me to voice my concerns with my tinnitis, vertigo & hearing issues. He seems very relatable & professional. The ENT my doctor had recommended …
Have had three operations now with Dr. Griffin, I am now breathing worse than what I was when I went in the first time, yet here I am paying $3k plus in bills. I’m sure he’s great with others, but I wish I never went there in the first place.
Dr. Simplot is very kind and takes great care of his patients. The nurses at the clinic are great as well.
I love this place and so does my son. I recommend this office to everyone. If it wasn’t for doc young my son would of died probably. He was the one that noticed my son had breathing problem ever since he was born. he has had 2 different surgeries on his airway. Doc young is the Best Doctor I have took my son to.
I have had multiple ear surgical procedures over 40 years, probably been to a ENT doctor 200 times. By far THEE best ear doctor I have ever visited.
I have never had a bad experience here. Everyone is professional and helpful. I have trust in my doctor and I believe that she understands my questions and concerns.
I had a great experience with Dr. Young and the surgery for my son. Very disappointed with being charged a copay for the post operative follow up appointment. My experience with every sugery my family has had is the follow up appointment is included in the charges for the surgery. Sad that we won’t be returning to this office.
Dr. Wright did my surgery for a thyroidectomy. It was the most horrible and painful experience I have ever experienced and I have had 3 shoulder surgeries! He could have cared less, never talked to me again. Dr. Wright didnt see me in …
Dr. Griffith put me at ease with a painful treatment. I am hearing better because of his demeanor and skill. I know he likes to help people feel better.
My husband had a sinus surgery performed. The care was great and the surgery itself went very well. The doctor explained everything and all went well from a medical front. …
This is a wonderful clinic for ENT problems -they have pleasant front desk staff, exceptional PAs, skilled physicians and audiologists. I highly recommend Iowa ENT Center, especially Dr Wright!
Doctors are great. Like others have stated…they want their money. I will probably have to look for another ent who works more easily and less shaming on payment plans.
The front desk was wonderful and they set appointments at times that are convenient to you. But the physician’s assistant was brusque and uncaring both times, speaking poorly of our referral source on the first appointment. The doctor was …
Went in on recommendation from personal physician for inflammation in my throat and airway that was causing discomfort when I breathe. The doctor immediately went into recommending nasal surgery and never once commented on my throat until I …
Dr Young was very professional very caring and I had absolutely no doubts or concerns going into and through my daughter’s tonsillectomy and adenoid removal.
Dr Tim Simplot is one of the best sinus doctors in the USA hands down My surgery was a total success and if ever needed again would do it without hesitation
Dr. Young was very good with my daughter so she felt comfortable, and very good at explaining what was going on to my husband and me. We felt completely at ease the whole time, even though things happened quickly and unexpectedly. I highly recommend Dr. Young, and the whole support staff! They are all very friendly and welcoming.
So pretty much all you need to know is that this is hands down the best ENT clinic around. Especially for pediatrics. My son is severely medically complex and sees Dr Young. Even our other pediatric specialists talk about how skilled he is. …
Great customer service. Efficient and effective appointment time from checking in, seeing the doctor, and checking out. Dr Young is always so pleasant and great with the kids.
I could not be more pleased with the care Dr. Young has provided to my infant son. When my son was 11 weeks old, I noticed that his ears were sticking out further than they had when he was born. After a quick Google search, I found a …
This office holds its self to very high standards and expectations. I brought my son here 3 years ago to see Dr. Young and he has been ear problem free since. The care is communicated very easily and I felt very comfortable asking a lot of questions. The staff is very respectable and receptive to concerns. I would highly recommend!
Always treated well. 4 stars only because no one is perfect. Only negative for me(us) is because of how busy your waiting room is, might be good to have 2 rest rooms. Some of us older folks/ when we have to go, we have to go!!
Dr. Close and her team of nurses, SLPs, and allergy techs have been tremendously helpful in finding and treating my symptoms as well as explaining pathologies and answering my questions. Friendly staff and flexible scheduling.
Dr. Griffith is great. He is down to earth and easy to talk to and has a good sense of humor. I will try to always go here for ENT related needs.
I was very pleased with both my treatment by staff and Dr. Wright. I had to wait a few minutes for Dr. Wright but it wasn’t over long and the nurse had explained that I would have to wait a few minutes.
This was our first time at this ENT Center and we were very pleased with both Dr. Wright and Joy Hesse. They were very helpful and optimistic about a new treatment for my husband to start!
So I went for a ringing in the ears, dizziness coming and going and some sinus problems/I think they did a very thorough job looking to see if they could sell me a hearing aid. I saw they described a pill like …
My 14 month old was referred for reoccurring ear infections. We were eager for our appointment, especially since she was working on a new infection, and were out of options for oral antibiotics because none of them had worked, nor had …
My wife had a nasal surgery performed by Dr. Griffith. The surgery went fine, but like some of the other reviews the billing was horrible. We paid the upfront estimated cost for the surgery, but they failed to tell us that each follow-up …
Dr Wright and staff are very personable. And professional. They listened and explained procedure then advised next steps. I will trust them with my care going forward.
I saw Dave Wonell for nose cauterization. Great personality. Makes procedure easy for me. Is extremely polite and funny. I would recommend this office for anyone!
I had an appointment here as it was the first place I could get into right away. My appointment was with Kevin and by his demeanor I knew I should of gone somewhere else. I tried to explain my sinus infections every year and being unable to …
Iowa ENT is a very busy practice but very efficient! Everyone was nice and knowledgeable. I was very happy with my care! No complaints or concerns!
Dr. Close is a Army Veteran, so does I. She listens to my concerns and proper care plans. I am very comfortable with Dr. Close. Her staff are so nice. I recommended people to see Dr. Close at Iowa ENT.
Dr. Wright is great! He always does a great job!
I do think that it isn’t right that you have to have a covid shot or have to be tested to have treatment done. That is discrimination. I have a right to be seen …
I am not happy with this location or my doctor.Had my tonsils removed over a year ago and have had issues with taste ever since. Was told to give it six months,then to give it 8 months, then a year. Now I’m a year and 2 months in and no answers.
We were referred to Iowa ENT for EarWells for our newborn son. Dr. Young is the only physician in the metro area that provides this treatment and is truly the most knowledgeable one on his team when it comes to the devices. I was less than …
Totally recommend Ia ENT. Joy is the best. She has been massaging my neck, jaw and salivary glands, to reduce the scar tissue from radiation. I am seeing results and being able to swallow easier. So thankful for her expertise.
The staff, nurses and Dr Simplot are all amazing! All are caring, empathetic and extremely professional. The entire experience was exceptional. I highly recommend them!
I’m extremely upset with the front desk! They are so rude and not helpful! I try and get my son to be seen and they tell me that they can help me. I went back and forth with them and his doctor till I got mad! Than they help me. I have …
Everyone is so friendly and attention is given to the children whom we are there for. This makes the child feel comfortable and the check up goes smoothly with no fussing, it is explained clearly to the parent what is going on, and all …
I am a hearing aid patient of Curtis Pargeon. I couldn’t be happier with his ongoing care whenever the need should arise. After loosing one of my hearing aids Curtis was very helpful in replacing and reprogramming a new aid replacement for …
Dr Gupta was super friendly & had a great bed side manner. Scheduling was easy & we got in at our scheduled time; didn’t wait long in the room for the doctor & were on our way!
Iowa ENT Center rocks! I experienced major pain with several mouth ulcers located on the back of my tongue back in April of 2021. After going to many (6) different doctors, with no relief or cure, a friend of mine suggested Iowa ENT. I …
Dr Simplot took time to give me facts on both routes and which would be the best route. He showed me that he cared!!
It’s also great to see how he and his nurse can “read” each other. They are a …
Working with Iowa ENT and Dr. Griffiths team was a great experience. If you have a child who struggles with sleeping, it might be because of their breathing. My daughter had her tonsils and adenoids removed along with tubes in her ears, definitely a great choice for our family.
The staff at Iowa ENT Center was very friendly. Dr. Young and his nurses were very dedicated to the care they provided my son, they were very considerate, caring and actually listened to my concerns as a mother. Would recommend Dr. Young for any little one needing to see an ENT.
I could not hear out of my right ear for two weeks. In that two weeks I went to urgent care two time and was given drops that did nothing for me among other issues. I made an appointment and was seen 3 days later. After being greeted by a …
The staff at the Iowa ENT Center were very welcoming and I felt like I was the only one they were concerned with that day. My physician showed concern for my problem and layed out a plan of action that we should take. I felt he addressed …
Joy performed the laryngoscopy and she did a wonderful job. She told me exactly what to expect, explained everything as we went along and then she reviewed the video with me and explained what we were looking at. Dr. Simplot did a very …
Made us pre pay despite having good insurance. Overcharged us and took two months to refund the money.
Absolutely the rudest staff of any medical center I have been to in Iowa. The on …
I have had a good experience with Iowa ENT over the last 5 years. I had sinus surgery several years ago, my son has had his tonsils and adenoids removed and my other two daughters have had tubes. All good experiences! Friendly staff!
Dr Simplot has been our ENT for 20 years. He’s always personable and gives us all of our options- never pressuring one way or the other. He’s the only surgeon that has ever done surgery on our kids and we know our whole family is in good hands with Dr Simplot. Very Highly recommend!!
I have gone ounce .The workers at the front desk were kind and patient with me. The ladies who worked with my 21month son did a great job and were very friendly. The Dr. Communicated well and listened to my concerns. Look forward to going back later
I am very disappointed with this office ONLY because my boyfriend and I have been calling for the last 5 days to schedule my daughter an ear tube surgery date. Have not once heard back Kim! Left a message every single day. We love Dr Young and Dr Maurice.
Sarah was very kind and explained everything she was going to do before she did the scope!
Dr Griffith was very patient and informative! Answered all my questions as well …
The doctors are great but the front office staff / scheduling team that takes the inbound calls could not be more rude. This has happened to me and my wife on multiple occasions.
I recently took my son to see Dr Young for a consult for a tonsillectomy. Unfortunately he was stuck in surgery and we ended up seeing his PA, but she was fantastic. My son had previously seen another ENT and had his adenoids out and was …
Excellent care over the last 7 years or so from Dr. Wright and P.A. Kevin. They run a tight ship here. I’ve never had a long wait at the office or wait too long to get an appointment. I’ve had 3 surgeries, participated in a year long drug …
I had a wonderful experience at Iowa ENT Center. Dr. Wright took the time to explain the procedure with me and answered all of my questions. He made me feel confident with his expertise in the surgery I am having done. Everyone was friendly …
I traveled in from out of state to have Dr. Wright perform the RFA procedure. During the consult, Dr. Wright explained the procedure clearly; I felt at ease. The procedure went well and it was minimally invasive, which was fantastic. I had …
I went in for surgical consult, The surgeon I was scheduled with was sick that day so he couldn’t meet with me. But I met with one of the other surgeons so that I could keep my appointment and he explained everything very well I felt very …
The staff were friendly and courteous. I waited for maybe five minutes between checking in and seeing a nurse. The doctor arrived exactly when my appointment was supposed to start, and that is a huge accomplishment for me. My doctor is …
Though there was a significant delay because my doctor was busy with a procedure for another patient, I am satisfied with the result of my appointment. The same is true about my first appointment last summer. Dr Wright is a high qualified …
48 minutes past the scheduled time. We were here 16 minutes early. Watched Dr. Young walk in the staff entrance with a star bucks drink in his hand. Staff wanted to say he was busy.
Absolutely the BEST experience & care hear so far. We were able to get my daughter in quickly & then schedule a nasal scope for following week. Showed up to appointment & we were in our room promptly. Nurse Sara who performed scope was …
i saw dave wonnell, a PA, and he was fantastic. i came here for a second opinion as i’ve seen the same ENT for 13 years and lately haven’t been getting any new answers to new symptoms. after seeing dave i saw dr simplot. hands down the best …
I usually go to their Ankeny clinic, but I went to this particular clinic once for my pre-op appointment, as they have their CT scanner here. But no matter which office you go to, you’re going to get fantastic, compassionate, and convenient …
