So I will say a couple of things, first off Dr.Congdon preformed 2 surgeries on my daughter when she was 2 and 3 years old she had tubes both time in her ears and tonsils and adenoids removed on the second round. She is now 13 years old and started having issues with pain in her ears we visited Unity Points walk in clinic we were told they couldn't see any infection or anything else that would be causing ear pain. Then a few days later same ear was painful and caused us to visit the Allen ER. There I was informed that there was a hole in her ear drum, the physician there prescribed a drop for her ear and recommend we visit the specialist who did her surgeries for the tubes. I called the office where I was told that I needed to get a referral. I do watch commercials on TV and hear them on the local radio all the time that you can schedule an appointment here without a referral. However I did call her PCP and explained all the issues I had asked if I would need to bring her in or if they could review the notes from the 2 recent visits to physicians. Now I'm being told that per Dr.Congdons office she needs to be seen by her PCP first. Honestly I believe this is discrimination based on our medical insurance (as I currently receive state assistance) however this office was more than happy to preform 2 separate surgeries years ago when we were covered with John Deere insurance. I guess since this is the way we are being treated. I will go elsewhere for any and everything that this office offers.

52, Male. Went in for difficulty breathing through my nose. One side was always plugged up it seemed. I was using nose spray daily Dr. Congdon did surgery for a deviated septum. The first few days post surgery were very uncomfortable. I had it done on a Friday, and the stints stayed in over the weekend. After they pulled the stints out on the following Monday, I could breathe better than I ever thought was possible. I just had my 6 month follow up, and still can breath through both sides of my nose exceptionally well. I haven't had to use nose spray since the first couple weeks of healing post op. From the from the initial consultation to my last check up, Dr. Congdon and his staff were very personable, knowledgeable, and professional. It may not be for every person that suffers from a chronic stuffy nose, but it worked extremely well for me, and I am very happy I had it done.

My husband had a corrective nose surgery from an accident. Part of the surgery was the septum. He was told the result of the surgery was great; all looked well. My husband spent a year and a half trying to get him to listen to him that an issue developed that had never been an issue before. Congdon had done multiple scopes over time and each time said/documented that the septum was straight and midline and he saw no issue. Finally my husband saw a new doctor who said no, it is not at all midline and straight. It was off by 50% and that any credentialed doctor would see this. He received a second surgery with new doc and his symptoms are relieved. We believe Dr. Congdon withheld medical information to protect his ego. And as a side note, he will speak to you arrogantly.

I went in for ringing ears, was seen and heard and also got an allergy test done as well as a scope on my nose. I couldn't breathe for 38 years due to collapsed nostrils. I had functional nasal surgery to help me breathe again. The worst part of the recovery was actually having to sleep in a chair. Everything turned out great! It is so nice to call a provider that you don't need a referral to and you can get answers to your health questions.

I did not have to wait long in the waiting room I was called back to the office to have my skin surgery. The staff was very courteous and helpful and follow through quickly to prepare me for the procedure that Dr. Congdon was doing on my Right upper For head. The procedure went well.. I did have to call Dr. Congdon‘s office the next day about losing of them suture area and they help me with answers of what to do. Saturday I had bruising her under my eye and down my nose and I did contact Dr. Congdon himself he did answer his call. And from then on things have gone well. And now I have the stitches out And I am able to shower and shampoo my hair and everything. So everything is going well at this point. Thank you for your good care Barbara
