Patient Reviews

April 10, 2026
The parking garage needs to be cleaned out with a strong solution. It smells like urine. Horrible.
April 06, 2026
Dr. Slattery is an outstanding surgeon, and spends time with me at each visit to listen to any comments I wish to make. He takes the time to explain how I can continue to take care of my ears. He is the best!
April 06, 2026
Nice office staff and excellent doctor
April 03, 2026
Dr. Slattery is a great doctor, very professional, very personable. Other than the shots, I look forward to seeing him again every three months. Thank you.
April 03, 2026
Dr Slattery was patient, caring, and knowledgeable. My issue is a difficult issue to understand and care for. So I was very happy with his care.
April 01, 2026
Inconvenient location.
March 30, 2026
The Doctor did speak when he came into the office,, but he never addresse me by my name and the problem that I have he never pronounce the name of the disease he did examine me and explain what was happening with my hearing and he did give me a booklet to read.
March 23, 2026
My ear surgery with Dr Slattery was in 2018. I see him 2 to 3 times a year. Every visit he has taken the time to answer all my questions, never rushes me. He is a professional, kind and always goes above and beyond. Great Doctor. (PHI removed)
March 16, 2026
Being patient on time.
March 16, 2026
Had to wait in exam room for over 1 hour for the dr. Other than that all excellent. This was the first time that happened.
March 13, 2026
Dr. Slattery and the whole experience has been great. It was a little hard to get an appointment, but I got it. And he took care of me over 20 years ago, and I appreciated his assistance and kindness. And the whole office was exceptionally nice. So I had a good experience, and thank you very much. I am a nurse at another hospital and do appreciate the care and appreciate the service that I received and the comfort knowing that I'm okay. Thank you.
March 13, 2026
Very helpful descriptions helped me understand what choices I may face.
March 13, 2026
The doctors were professional, spoke plainly so I understood, and made every effort to further my treatment timely and quickly. Very inspiring first visit to give me confidence that I am at the right place.
March 05, 2026
Everything was excellent in your office. Thank you for everything. Appreciate it.
February 27, 2026
Dr worked hard to resolve problems and was sensitive to the pain I felt.
February 27, 2026
I thought the audiologist was excellent and did everything well, the test and talking to me. And Dr. Slattery was excellent, also very thorough in everything talking about hearing devices and possibilities of what can be done. Excellent. Thank you.
February 20, 2026
Great, compassionate doctor.
February 13, 2026
Dr Slattery has unparalleled expertise in Southern California. I travel from San Diego for his services. He is a crown jewel for PIH and a truly compassionate physician.
January 30, 2026
I really appreciated the attention and professionalism of the doctors and all the staff. Thank you all.
January 30, 2026
I truly loved it, everyone was so kind and respectful. I would definitely recommend them to my family. God bless them always, and thank you for your patience with me.
January 30, 2026
Thank you
January 28, 2026
Dr.Slattery is the best doctor that I have and he knows what he is doing.
January 26, 2026
Everything was above and beyond amazing! I had hoped to get some more definitive answers and ear relief, but understand that more tests need to be done to get closer to finding the answers and treatment for my problems. I appreciate the time, care, and concern that Dr. Slattery took with me. I feel very confident that he will get to the bottom of the issue and make me feel 100% very soon! I was beyond pleased with he and his entire staff!
January 26, 2026
Had to wait a long time after the scheduled time for my preliminary hearing test.
January 12, 2026
Yes, I believe I pressed the wrong button. I would definitely recommend Dr. Slattery to anybody. I think I mistakenly pressed one, which I thought was a no. I should have pressed two. Yes, I would definitely remember Dr. Slattery. He is a superstar.
December 31, 2025
My appointment was scheduled for 11:30. Wednesday arrived early because traffic is unpredictable in the rain We were not called into an exam room until 12:40!!! No apologies for the delay. I was not expecting to be called into an exam room at exactly 11:30, HOWEVER, I did not expect to wait over AN HOUR, especially with no explanation...
December 24, 2025
THE WORST Front office staff you could imagine are working at Dr Slaterry's office! They are rude, unprofessional, mean and they do not follow Dr's instructions to book a procedure, or give a F/ U appointment.
December 22, 2025
Dr. Slattery not only is a very experienced doctor with knowledge above surpassed, his knowledge has surpassed every other doctor that I have seen. He is very kind, he's incredibly caring and trying to do his best in every way that's possible to help you to problem your solve and get better. And I am very appreciative for his work, for his caring, for his mannerism and everything that he does. I definitely, definitely, definitely recommend Dr. Slattery to everyone.
December 19, 2025
Nothing else to say. All good. Thank you!
December 19, 2025
Dr. Slattery is the BEST!!!!!
December 15, 2025
I had a 1:45 PM appointment and arrived about 1:35 PM. I was taken into a room within about 10 minutes. I did see Dr. Slattery's fellow within a reasonable amount of time, but I did not see Dr. Slattery until about 2:35 p.m. I understand that Dr. Slattery is very busy, but it would be nice if someone stopped in to just give us an update on his timing.
December 10, 2025
I was so pleased with my experience with Dr. Slattery, he has a wonderful bedside manner and answered all my questions thoughtfully and more important than anything he gave me hope that I will be well again. I am so grateful to be under the care of such a knowledgable and professional doctor as Dr. Slattery.
December 08, 2025
A special thank you to the office staff who worked to schedule my hearing test and appointment on the same day as I had to drive 3 hours for this appointment.
December 08, 2025
Above and beyond good care!
December 05, 2025
Dr. Slattery is an amazing doctor. He's a wonderful clinician, surgeon, and researcher. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Slattery. I've known him for over 20 years. He has never wavered in his efforts to do the best where he can for his patients.
December 05, 2025
I was happy to get feedback from my Dr on my visit Friday.
December 01, 2025
Dr Slattery is one of my very favorite doctors that I see on a regular basis. I trust his professional expertise and appreciate his communication with me. My appointments are usually just a few minutes but I feel we are able to discuss everything necessary. He is a brilliant doctor in every way. Dr Slattery's assistant is all business but very nice. It would be more helpful if the front desk acted like they actually appreciate/like their jobs.
December 01, 2025
Very professional front office. Dr. (name removed) was very patient with all my questions. Dr. Slattery is truly a professional physician
November 26, 2025
Doctor was great. Scheduling staff was not. I take a bus downtown, almost 2 hour trip each way. On two different appointments I called the day before and was told I no longer have the appointment as the doctor has surgery and our computer system is down. I don't trust front office. Have to be very proactive with scheduling.
November 24, 2025
Over an hour wait time. Too long!!!
November 21, 2025
Dr. Slattery is the best and of the trusted doctors.
November 19, 2025
My first visit was a positive experience but I will need to see if my difficult problem gets resolved.
November 19, 2025
Timely visit
November 12, 2025
Thanks to Doctor William Slattery great doctor explained everything clearly, and his assistant was nice too. For the first Time calling the office to set up appointment I had a great service with (name removed) very passion took the time to explain everything from appointment and makes clear specially about the address and parking , cause 2 addresses the same, week later I called back to confirm my appointment spoke with (name removed) she was very nice too. Honestly very rare lately when calling office to get good service. When I got there the front desk provide a good service too. 5 stars + off course . Thanks to all of you.
November 12, 2025
Dr Slattery was fantastic. But, the office staff scheduled an appointment for me that ended up not being booked, so when I called the day before my appointment they said nothing had been scheduled. It was very upsetting.
November 07, 2025
I deeply appreciate Dr. Slattery and his calm, professional demeanor. I feel so fortunate to have him as my doctor and the expert in treating and managing my condition. The office staff is friendly and helpful, which makes my initial experience feel welcoming.
November 03, 2025
Everything went smoothly and everyone was very professional.
October 31, 2025
Thank you for providing options that were not provided during another visit with another doctor.
October 24, 2025
It was a wonderful experience. I didn't have nothing negative to say. I enjoyed my interaction with the nurse and the doctor. Thank you so much.
October 24, 2025
I am happy with how my appointment worked out.
October 22, 2025
The staff is all very kind, and Dr. Slattery is a great, attentive doctor. However I was incredibly disappointed in the wait time. My appointment was scheduled at 2:15pm and I arrived on time, however I did not see the doctor until almost 4pm. On a weekday I schedule appointments out very carefully for work, and waiting nearly 2 hours to see the ENT for ~15min is not acceptable to me.
October 20, 2025
Dr Slattery was great Very professional I feel very confident in him
October 20, 2025
Everything was perfect.
October 20, 2025
Waited 1 1/2 hours to be seen by Dr Slattery for max 10 mins. The time w Dr S was fine-did all he needed to do. But the wait was crazy long. Also they scheduled me for 1.30pm hearing test which was done before 2pm but my Dr S appt was not until 2.30pm ( didn't get seen until almost 4pm)
October 15, 2025
I was very happy with my experience and with Dr. Slattery.
October 01, 2025
Dr.Slattery is an amazing doctor!
September 26, 2025
I love the customer service that I received from entering the office with the staff at the front desk. I wanted to give special recognition to (name removed), who really worked with myself and my primary office to get my referral and codes and things. She went beyond that, even though it was not her era, but their era. I love the nurse practitioner that took me in and also the clerk that brought me to the room and the doctor I truly love. My ear exam was something that I had never experienced before and I was really happy with my experience and I felt so comfortable.
September 19, 2025
As long as I have choice to make it will always be House !
September 12, 2025
I think William Slattery is terrific. I think (name removed) was terrific, but I also think you guys should start doing your own homework in other ways, rather than asking people all these questions. But that being said, I very much appreciate House Clinic, and I'm glad you're there, and I'm glad you have the people that you do.
September 12, 2025
The doctor was excellent. Both the audiologists and the ear specialist, the doctors were excellent, So, I'm pleased with the doctors' service, the examination, and everything they did for me as a patient. It was excellent, very satisfactory. That's all my comment. Thank you. Thank you.
September 12, 2025
I was impressed with (name removed). She heard my concern and gave me an appointment within the week. She emailed me to make sure I received her email about my appointment. Both the providers treated me with respect. However I was nervous walking to my car and will valet next time. There are a lot of unhoused people on the street.
September 12, 2025
The front desk staff is rude. Always.
September 10, 2025
Security guards were friendly, too
September 08, 2025
Hi, my name is Dr. (PHI removed). I was seen by Dr. Slattery last Friday, a week ago today. Appointment went well. I'd seen him before many years ago. Appointment with him was great. The thing that concerned me the most was the callback I got from the PHI office with a woman, I believe her name was(name removed). Probably calling from a call center. She called me and asked me if I wanted to reschedule, create a surgical appointment time with a different physician, one who I had not seen, and set up the surgical dates for him. When I contacted her back saying that I had never seen that physician, that I saw
September 08, 2025
Very professional
September 03, 2025
I arrived at 3:45 PM but wasn't seen by the doctor until 6:00 PM. I was asked to do an unscheduled audiology test, and there was confusion about whether I was even on the schedule. There was poor communication throughout, long wait times, and I felt forgotten at one point. Overall, the experience was frustrating and disorganized.
August 29, 2025
Excellent experience. Dr and Fellow were outstanding
August 27, 2025
Dr. Slattery, the other physicians and the people in his office are flat out amazing. They are what keeps me coming back to PIH. What is very difficult is the supporting organization. It took months for PIH to be able to correctly get me a referral for a MRI that was to be done out of the area. There's a bit of a break down at that level.
August 25, 2025
Appreciate doctor and staff responsiveness
August 22, 2025
The online check-in was great, and then when I got there, they were very welcoming and courteous, very spacious waiting room, clean. The resident that saw me first cleaned out my ear, explained everything that was going on, what he was looking at, and allowed me to take pictures I had actually never seen in my ears. I had a surgery on my left ear, and then I had, or need a surgery on my right, rather. So it was just helpful to explain everything he was doing, what he was looking at, what each part was. So it was very comforting and great. So I appreciate it.
August 22, 2025
I felt very comfortable
August 22, 2025
Will always try to get in to see Dr Slattery. Wish he would go to Bakersfield. HE IS THE BEST and i have complete trust in him! Even if it takes me 4 to 5 hours to get there.
August 13, 2025
The office staff at the location when we went there was wonderful, but the people that I spoke with to try to schedule an appointment, it was very difficult. Thank you.
August 06, 2025
Two thumbs up!
August 04, 2025
I was very happy with the treatment I got, except that they kept me waiting in the reception area for hours after my scheduled appointment until I was taken. Scheduling is off.
August 04, 2025
Dr Slattery has been amazing ? Hes kind and informative and has helped me tremendously with my recent surgeries and understanding the medical procedures. I am grateful for him!
July 30, 2025
Great Staff... and Dr Slattery is a wonderful Doctor
July 28, 2025
It's challenging to feel confident about my situation with the information and communication provided by the doctor.
July 28, 2025
Absolutely the best!
July 25, 2025
He helped arrange a recommend CT scan the same day!
July 21, 2025
Dr explained procedure very well.
July 18, 2025
Your system on its call to me, my phone showed potential spam and I got upset temporarily. Like I do whenever I get spam calls. And but then it soon turned into a legitimate call regarding Dr. Slattery, who was fantastic. But you may want to look into changing or addressing that spam issue that seemingly was associated with your call.
July 16, 2025
Dr. Slattery and his team are awesome!
July 16, 2025
Dr. Slattery was patient as I explained my symptoms. He listened intently without interruption. He then examined my ears and made his suggestion about inserting a tube in my eardrum to remove the moisture behind the eardrum. He carefully explained the pros and cons (temporary hearing reduction) thoroughly to me. I decided to go ahead with the tube insertion. He explained each step of the procedure as I thrillingly watched on the monitor. I truly appreciated Dr. Slattery's skill and demeanor during the surgery. I am 100% satisfied with this office visit and inpatient surgery. Kudos to Dr. Slattery.
July 14, 2025
Everyone was wonderful, patient and caring. I'm glad I came to this healthcare facility.
July 07, 2025
Left feeling confident in diagnosis and treatment plan
June 30, 2025
Dr. Slattery is the best.
June 27, 2025
Every individual in the office was very attentive to us and showed consideration for our time and needs during the office visit.
June 16, 2025
I very much trust and value Dr. Slattery's opinion and medical care with his expertise in his field of Neuro-Otology, etc.
June 06, 2025
I had to wait for 50 minutes to see the first physician. And some of my questions, maybe he said it, I didn't understand. I am not sure. And I don't know where I'm standing. Do I have to come back or not? I appreciate it. They were very kind and nice to me. Thank you.
June 06, 2025
Yes, I didn't hear the first questions correctly, so I didn't punch in correctly. But I was most pleased with my visit with the doctor when I saw him on Thursday. And I would certainly be willing to recommend him to anyone. I felt so much better after I left his office. Thank you very much.
June 06, 2025
the rooms ( waiting room and exam room were extremely cold) I would say freezing other patients also complained
June 04, 2025
Dr. Slattery has been my ear specialist for many years, maybe 18, and I trust him exclusively. He does a very good job, he's very understanding, and yep, yep, I count on him. Great doctor, thank you.
June 04, 2025
Dr. Slattery, excellent doctor, very knowledgeable, excellent manners. I've seen him for a few years now. Great guy.
May 30, 2025
I had an 11am appointment but I was called in at 11:40.
May 30, 2025
I absolutely felt care, compassion and I felt reassured with Dr Slattery.
May 30, 2025
the doctor was very nice. Somewhat dismissive, since there is not much treatment for tinnitus. I am very disappointed
May 21, 2025
Parking Challenging
May 09, 2025
Everybody was very nice. It was very, very disorganized. It has been the last three times I've visited. But that's part of the problem. And Dr. Slattery, I believe he's an expert at what he does. He's probably a really great doctor, but he's very, he rushes. But that's it.
May 09, 2025
I have been a patient of Dr. Slattery's for almost 25 years. He's great. I trust him implicitly. And (name removed) at the front desk is wonderful. Great experience, this visit.
May 09, 2025
I am very thankful that I had the expertise of Dr. Slattery to help me with the existing problem with my ear. There is no better than Dr. Slattery and for me to be able to be there and to have him explain to me what my problem is and what can be done to fix it meant everything to me. Again, thank you for this chance to tell you how much I appreciate this wonderful doctor surgeon that you have. Thank you.
May 05, 2025
I believe Dr Slattery is one of the best physicians I've seen in many years. He is smart and I feel he actually cares about how I'm feeling and what I have to say. We've developed a nice relationship over the years and we can have a good conversation without wasting time. I don't love the drive to downtown LA but he is worth the honest care I receive.
April 30, 2025
Dr. Slattery is amazing. Best doctor ever.
April 30, 2025
They were very well organized, professional, how you recommend them.
April 30, 2025
I waited four hours for the doctor. I was told the next day he would call me. No call was made. I was told he was out of town for four or five days from now. I spoke to his fellow who had no idea what was going on. I was told that my report was sent to an audiologist who was going to get back to me today. I never heard from anyone. I asked for the doctor's report and the fellow was hesitant to send it to me. I was unable to identify the audiologist who reviewed my report.
April 28, 2025
Excellent service and excellent provider!
April 25, 2025
I saw Dr Slattery and he was great. I owe my life to him and the House Clinic staff. He removed a cancerous tumor out of my right ear. It was a life changing event but with his help I have learned to cope with my hearing loss and can do everything I did before my surgery. I am a singer and it took a while before I could sing with a band again. My feeling when their is the will there is a way to cope with all adversity. God Bless the House Clinic and Dr Slattery!!!!!! (name removed), my friends call me (PHI removed).
