    Dr. Courtney Tipton.................First doctor in years that didn't run me through the room like she was late for work. Took time to figure out my issue and explain what we needed to do along with if I don't feel better to contact her. She also showed me on the monitor screen the infection in my sinus area. I'd giver her a 10!!

    Dr. Tipton is, without question, one of the most exceptional physicians I have ever had the privilege of being treated by. From the very first appointment, it was clear that she truly cares about her patients as whole people, not just a list of symptoms or a chart in front of her. I came to her with ongoing throat and ear problems that had been affecting my quality of life for quite some time, and after seeing other providers and feeling like I was running out of answers, I honestly didn't know if anything could really help. Dr. Tipton changed that completely. She took the time to truly listen to me - not just to hear the symptoms, but to understand how they were impacting my daily life. She asked thoughtful, detailed questions, allowed me to fully explain what I was experiencing, and never once made me feel rushed or dismissed. That alone meant more than I can express, especially after feeling unheard for so long. She explained everything clearly and in a way that made sense, which helped ease a lot of the anxiety and uncertainty I had been carrying. What truly sets Dr. Tipton apart is how thorough and thoughtful she is in her care. She doesn't just look for a quick fix or the easiest answer. She takes the time to investigate, to consider all possibilities, and to make sure nothing is overlooked. She also goes the extra mile by involving other departments and specialists when appropriate, ensuring that every angle is being considered. That level of collaboration and dedication shows just how committed she is to getting the best possible outcome for her patients. During my most recent visit, she placed a tube in my ear. While it felt a little strange at first, the relief was almost immediate. It resolved a problem that I honestly wasn't even sure had a solution, and the improvement has been life-changing. What stood out to me was not just the technical skill involved, but how calm, reassuring, and confident she was throughout the process. I felt completely safe in her care. Dr. Tipton represents everything you would hope for in a physician: intelligence, compassion, patience, and a genuine desire to help people feel better. She takes the time to explain, to reassure, and to follow through. She never makes you feel like just another appointment on the schedule. Instead, she makes you feel seen, heard, and valued. I am incredibly grateful for the care she has provided and for the positive impact she has had on my health and quality of life. She has restored my hope and my trust in the medical system at a time when I truly needed it. I cannot thank her enough for her dedication, her kindness, and her commitment to her patients. She truly represents the very best of the best in medicine.

    I am allergic to the numbing agent used for scoping, and had prepared for discomfort. My experience with Dr. Tipton set me at ease and she (and her nurse/assistant) went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and be very transparent with me. I am very pleased to say there was no real discomfort with the procedure, due to Dr. Tipton's attentiveness. I am impressed by how well my appointment went.
