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. He was so good, I strongly considered going through with it out of network.

The best ENT office in San Antonio! Dr. Atkins, PA-Ferris, and the entire staff from receptionists to nurses were all exceptional. I was so anxious about surgery and everyone was so comforting, even for my pre and post-op visits.
