Dr. Kent literally told me not to rush, I've got all day!. His command of his field and ability to convey information to his patient was second to none! He sat with me and we discussed everything from the anatomy of my nose/throat to expectations regarding the surgery and recovery. He made a lasting impression as to how doctors' bedside manner should be: confident, kind, empathetic, knowledgeable, and eager to listen. 11/10, would recommend him to a friend or loved one.
