ISO recommendation on the best Pediatric ENT surgeon for ear tubes on 10.5 month year old
Erin M. replied:
Dr Kerr at Accent did tubes on my older son at 9 months old, and we just saw him again today for my 7 month old because we have such confidence in him. I wouldn't say he's the "warm and fuzzy" type, but that really doesn't matter to me. I am a pretty straightforward, science-minded person (I work in healthcare), so I tend to prefer doctors who present as very confident, knowledgeable, and straightforward in that way. If I can get warm and fuzzy too, then that is a plus but not a deal breaker. My children have both been very comfortable with him. I think he has grandchildren so he does have a bit of a soft spot for babies:-). He comes across as extremely competent, and that gives me a lot of peace of mind.

We used Dr. Melker at Gainesville ENT & Allergy Associates. He has a great bedside manner and my lo warmed up to him very quickly during the first visit. She was 16 mths old. He did great preparing us for what exactly was going to happen and on the day of surgery he was the person I handed her to and he took her back into surgery not a nurse or other person that she wasn't familiar with. She went right to him and didn't cry or anything as he walked her back. That was probably the best part for me, having your lo go into surgery isn't easy but having such a caring Dr that cares about the stress level of even the youngest patients was so great and made the experience so much better.

I got 4 opinions. The first 3 were wrong. I googled doctors who fit the criteria. We were prepared to travel to interview physicians. We found our doc at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Michael Lim. Dr Lim has extensive experience with TN.. He went the extra mile..
