Dr. Atkins and Dr. Farris both have been so patient with me as they have been treating me for ongoing sinus infections for many months.On my last visit, Dr. Atkins prescribed Nasonex twice a day and it looks like I am finally cured!! I have been recommending them to anyone I know that has sinus issues. The staff is always very efficient- they call in in my prescriptions right away and I never have to wait more than 10 minutes in the waiting room.I highly recommend them to anybody that has sinus problems.Response from the ownerJill, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. We really appreciate it. Dan BielskiDan Bielski ★★★★★ Dr. Atkins is an excellent ENT doctor and surgeon. He did thorough examination and diagnosis, performed surgery that finally addresses the chronic sinus infections and I'm looking forward to recovery, healing, and ability to breathe well (after he fixed deviated septum). Highly recommend!Response from the ownerThanks Dan! Wishing you a speedy recovery and a great outcome. Amanda MoralesAmanda Morales ★★★★★ I love this place, I was in so much pain and they got me in the next day. The staff was friendly and Dr. Atkins was also great. The bonus you can go shopping after your appointment.Response from the ownerAmanda, Thanks for the review. Glad we could help. Vicky MVicky M ★★★★★ Not an ear specialist but the answering phone staff is nice and provided a couple of other doctors to try.Response from the ownerVicki, thanks for the review. We only see patients with sinus problems and when we try and redirect non-sinus problems to other doctors some patients get annoyed, but thank you for understanding. Hopefully our recommendations were helpful. John SilvaJohn Silva ★★★★★ Wonderful experience meeting Dr James Atkins. Communication was awesome and enjoyable. I felt like I was in good hands.John SilvaResponse from the ownerthanks John. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. If we ever deviate from giving you great care, please let me know. Darrell Van DoverDarrell Van Dover ★★★★★ Surgery is never something that you look forward to, however having to go through the experience I wouldn't want to do it anywhere else . Alexa and Mike were great in making me comfortable prior to my procedure and in the procedure room Mike and Hector made me as comfortable as possible as well as the entire staff. Mike and Hector were the staff that I recognized. Overall. under the circumstances, I couldn't have asked for better service.Response from the ownerDarrell thanks for the shout out. I’ll pass it on to the staff. Texas GirlTexas Girl ★★★★★ Excellent Doctor and they are always on time - that is a nice advantage! More importantly we quickly diagnosed a sinus problem that may have been affecting a chronic cough I’ve had for a YEAR! Through his direction, we counted out a few things and shortly made a decision on fixing the problem via sinus surgery. And, Wallah - problem fixed! So Thankful. So Relieved. ZERO cough in the past 13 days - having faith - problem solved ! Thank you, Dr. Adkins.Response from the ownerThanks so much for taking the time to leaving a review. I’m really excited that you’re doing well! Ryan HuangRyan Huang ★★★★★ I think Dr Atkins cured my chronic cough with the sinus ballon surgery. I always had post nasal drip and did a lot of research. Some doctors suggest that my cough might be related to the post nasal drip which causes inflammation of the bronchial tubes. This might have been the cause of my persistent cough especially after a respiration infection. After the surgery, I immediately feel I am not as nearly congested.My kids recently had respiratory infections which passed to me and I barely coughed. The symptoms were much milder than before the surgery.I also appreciate Dr. Atkins’ honesty and not over promise. I was told before the surgery that nothing is 100%. The surgery might alleviate my cough but he is a sinus doctor and there could be other contributing factors.Response from the ownerRyan, so glad you are better and for having an appreciation for the whole process. Thanks for the review! Cas M.Cas M. ★★★★★ I will be the first to admit that I am a very anxious, nervous person by nature. The team at Atkins Sinus Care were some of the best medical professionals I've ever had the pleasure of being under the care of. Any questions I had were answered immediately, all calls were always returned, and staff was always so lovely and accommodating, as I am from out of the city and travel to my appointments here. It was my first time ever getting a procedure like this done, and I was quite frightened, but everyone there made the experience as pleasant as it possibly could have been. Nothing but praise! Thank you for all your help!Extra big thank you to PA Ferris, Alexa, Jamie, and everyone else on the surgery team that was there for me this past week. Very attentive and caring staff!Response from the ownerCas, thanks so much for the review. I will let the team know you called them out their exceptional care. They try hard and I appreciate you recognizing them. Dr. Carol EyermannDr. Carol Eyermann ★★★★★ Dr. James Atkins and his team are outstanding!

He did everything at his disposal to get to the bottom of my problem and offer a thorough diagnosis. I would've had my surgery done by him but he was out of network for my Surgery Plus insurance.
