Dr. Pannela and his entire staff were wonderful! He was very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive. The time in his waiting room was so short that I didn't even have time to fill out my paperwork. When I commented on the short wait to see him, he said he respected his patient's time and tried never to make them wait. I would highly recommend Dr. Pannela to anyone looking for an ENT!

I had a favorable experience at ENT Consultants of ET, both with Dr. Johnson, and with Dr. Mattingly, to discuss surgical options to a hearing aid. My husband and I both felt very informed of the procedure which my type of hearing loss would benefit from. That was great news! I recommend this office and these doctors very much! Terri Schumacher

Had tubes put in my ears; The cost was 2x what they quoted me for. Not only that, the side effects have been awful, and they didnt tell me of any of the risks. I have hearing loss, and developed tinnitus. The nurses are never answering their phone. You are very lucky if you get them to respond within 5 days, by which time it's too late to help with your issue.
The doctors aren't really that great either. They seem like they care, but, again, i wasnt told anything about risks, and I am now suffering 10x more than I ever was with my normal problems. I just wanted to be able to ascend high heights without my ear drums exploding, and I instead am expected to pay almost 1.5k after several visits to fix their mistakes, for nothing more than being given tinnitus.

They just don't do as good a job as they should to warn you of the costs. Bills just keep trickling in for months and even though our insurance is mostly to blame, we needed to be warned how much more pricey the care could have ended up being. The staff seem to care about the patients though and I don't think this is a bad place, just medical costs get way high in the west Knoxville area.
And the lady was RUDE when I called to pay my bill as I tried to see if there was any way I could get my costs down. Other than that, my wife has felt like her life changed so much for the better from her deviated septum being corrected by Dr Wheless.

I love Dr. Sexton! He is absolutely amazing, and I would recommend him to anyone. I suffered from chronic middle ear infections that were beginning to interfere with my quality of life. I was always dizzy, and god forbid I take the elevator at work, not including the pain and money spent on NINE esr infection doctor visits. After trying everything I could think of I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Sexton I was in the next day, and the following day I had tubes in my ears!
I had instant relief and I haven't had an ear infection since. The staff was also super friendly, and helped me get fitted for ear plugs. The ear plugs were fairly cheap ($20) but I wouldn't have even considered any from anywhere else. With it being my first time having tubes I had many questions and was super anxious about getting them, he answered all my questions plus some! Not to mention he's a super nice guy! He really cares about his patients and will even ask about school and other things. It really made the experience wonderful!

Dr. Jon Hayes did a fantastic job! I felt he was extremely knowledgeable and confident, which made me feel much better about my situation. I didn't have a sinus problem. They didn't push anything on me. From what I've read on the internet it would have been very easy to sell me the most expensive thing which was the O.R., he didn't do that. This all happened yesterday and today, after the in house procedure, I feel great! Thank you Doc!
