Dr. House has known he wanted to be a physician since he was young. During college, he was an All American swimmer at University of Southern California. He completed his medical training at USC School of Medicine followed by a straight medical internship. At that time, all physicians had to sign up for the Berry Plan. He only received a one-year deferment so after a year of ENT residency, he was inducted into the US Army. Dr. House was Chief of the ENT service at Fort Wolters, TX when returning to complete his ENT training. Upon completion of residency, he spent another year in a neurotology/otology fellowship. 

As his training progressed, Dr. House became more convinced that otology was his calling. It has been a great experience. Dr. House loves working with his patients, staff and associates.

Yes, my name is (PHI removed) and I've been seeing Dr. House for over 15 years and he is the nicest, most kind doctor. He takes time to listen and he is extremely professional and I am just so blessed to have him for my doctor. I feel very fortunate for the last over 15 years to have Dr. House as my doctor and I would recommend him highly to any person. Thank you very much.

Suffering from 100% deafness in one ear due to SSHL sudden sensorineural hearing loss was a devastating concern and a life changing event. I have trusted Dr House and his staff to watch over me and continue to advise me regarding my special condition. Highly recommend the House Ear Clinic!

I was disappointed with upon my arrival, the receptionist informed me I was there as a cash patient. I had taken care of my referral issue with (name removed) it was approved several days prior. I drove 30 miles, taking one hour 20 minutes. I was already irritated with that and to be given that incorrect information immediately upon arrival I did not need that stressful information. Fortunately was quickly resolved. Since January, I've gone through major referral hell with my insurance companies just to see an ENT.

It was a great experience with the doctor. What I don't like is that it take so long to get the next appointment. For my ear procedure. Thank you,

Yes, it was a very good experience from the time I met with people in the office, the time I met with Dr. House. Very, very understanding, extremely knowledgeable, understood my problem, gave me the reason I had the problem, and I felt very well taken care of in that visit. Thank you.

Incredible in all areas!

What an honor having Dr. House provide services for me. He makes you feel like you're home, safe, heard, and so skilled. He showed me how to use the meds, he explained what was happening and how to treat my condition. He is the best doctor my husband and myself have ever experienced. Thank you. The front office is a tight ship. I saw how the three employees worked together smoothly and respectfully to each other as they scheduled appointments for all of us. Truly outstanding office. Thank you,

Dr House was very thorough. One thing he didn't do, however, was explain what type of hearing aids and settings would best improve my hearing.
August 26, 2025
Perfect service. Will not go anywhere else for the care of my ears and hearing.
August 21, 2025
The staff should be more friendlier and accommodating! Dr. House is the best!!
August 04, 2025
When checking in, the front office staff wasn't particularly friendly. The staff in the audiology department was very professional and cheerfully greeted me.

Dr. House and his attending Fellow, were very kind, compassionate, and spent a lot of time with me. The Fellow first asked me questions to get up to speed on my hearing issue, previous tests run, previous surgeries, and symptoms. He did a thorough exam of both ears. (Dr. House performed ear surgery on me twice in 1999 and is still the same kind, compassionate, and professional physician that I remember.) He didn't remember me, of course, but listened to my concerns, problems with my surgery in 2024 in South Carolina, and future treatments. He also asked me to stay in touch so he can follow the status of my hearing disability. I've never had a doctor as caring and concerned as he is. His Fellow has a great man to train with. It was work a flight from South Carolina to receive information and recommendations from a world famous ENT that is still practicing medicine because he loves what he does.

Like his low key sincerity
May 13, 2025
It was really difficult to get an appointment due to the fact that my insurance had to approve everything in advance and took a very long time. It literally took a few months to make this appointment. Finally I got my appointment with Dr. House and he is just a great doctor and I really appreciate him helping my ear issue. He is the only doctor that I trust with my ear. Thank you Dr. House. Hopefully I can get my next appointment in 6 months without a headache of my insurance. Everyone working there is very professional.

Dr. House is the kindest Dr. I have ever been to. He explains things and listens to me. We need more doctors like him. Everyone in the office was very nice. It was a good experience.

Dr House was really wonderful & his staff. He is compassionate and knowledgeable. The waiting room was so cold and the toilets didn't flush in lobby area.
April 14, 2025
Excellent and efficient as always.

I had a great experience with Dr House. Great bedside manner and he listened to my concerns and explained the function of my ears. Best ENT appointment I have had!
April 10, 2025
Yes, my name is (PHI removed) Thank you and actually for most of your questions I pressed 2, which I later on found out that 2 is for somewhat, but 3 is the one which I'm fully satisfied. So please go ahead and my answer is 3 for most of the questions and how satisfied I am it would be 8 out of 10 and I'll recommend this doctor to the other family members and friends. Thank you very much.
April 08, 2025
Dr. House and his staff were wonderful, professional, friendly, accommodating of all of the questions that I had. I have to come back to see Dr. House in one week, and they offered to process the authorization through my HMO, which is wonderful. That prevents my having to do all that follow-up. I appreciate them very much.

April 01, 2025
He was very nice and pleasant. He just said he couldn't help me or do anything for me.

Dr House is a great doctor.

Surrounding area for this location is terrible! Tents & vagrants all over right next to building & parking . I paid to park across the street but it would be nice to have known where to safely park when scheduling to come here.
March 27, 2025
Dr House is the greatest!
March 26, 2025
I just thought the entire experience from making the appointment to parking to finding the location to getting into the house, into the house, so to speak, Dr. House's respect for me and my time, the front desk, everything was a 10. It was just terrific.
March 25, 2025
Dr. House is surely aware of my long history with the clinic that bears his name. I need an unbiased evaluation of what will best meet my hearing needs in the years ahead - especially hearing aid technology advances vs. what a possible cochlear implant can do for me. I am hopeful that the recommended cochlear implant evaluation can offer this for me.
March 13, 2025
Dr. House is an outstanding doctor. He is caring, knowledgeable, and extremely good at what he does.
March 13, 2025
Very nice office; the doctor was kind and helpful; explained everything very clear. Thanks so much for your care!
March 12, 2025
I just want to remind you guys that people who are going there are hard of hearing or having issues with hearing and the fact that the front staff does not speak up enough. I had to ask what so many times and explain to them that I have hearing aids. And when I was leaving, I was told to go check in the front to check out. I'm sorry, to set another appointment. And when I went up there, there was nobody up there, but the person told me, oh, go ahead and have a seat. I'm helping somebody, which is fine. And then also said you can call in. I also work at a doctor's office. That's not the way to make sure that your patients set up a follow-up appointment. And again, most of the time when it came to MEs and the front staff, I could not hear anybody and I had my hearing aids turned up. That's the only thing.
March 10, 2025
Dr. House was great. That's all I have to say. Thank you.
March 05, 2025
Dr House is at the very top, the pinnacle of his profession...LA is fortunate that he lives and works here.
February 27, 2025
I just wanted to make this statement that Dr. House is a delight to have come in and check your ears and he talks to you and he makes you feel very welcome. And I consider that a real positive asset to any service, but particularly important when I'm dealing with a physician. So I just wanted to say thank you very much.
February 19, 2025
I arrived at the office about 10 minutes before my scheduled time. But, I waited over one half hour before I saw my doctor.
February 05, 2025
Dr House is the best! He's caring and always listens to his patients. The office staff and nurses were great. The only issue I had was that I was not able to schedule my audiology appointment at the same time as my Dr appt. I have been patient of Dr House for many years and this was the first time I wasn't allowed to schedule both appointments together.
November 21, 2024
Dr. House was very excellent in treating my ear infection and after I left the office he even followed up with a phone call to see how I was doing. So we really appreciate that. Thank you.
