Stephen D KeefeDr

Dr. Keefe was my ENT physician in Las Vegas in the 1990s. He was very early into his career. I suppose you could say that he practiced on me. I had multiple sinus surgeries and my tonsils out when I was pushing 30. He was extremely caring and attentive. He actually ordered a new specialty instrument to perform ethmoid surgery for me. It was a 30 day free trial as it costed $10k at the time, so he sent it back when he was finished. I can't speak for his cosmetic surgery, although I can say he was already getting his certification in it at the time. I wonder if he remembers me.

My Endocrinologist referred me for a mass/cyst growing inside left side of my neck. Dr. Keefe entered my exam room by starting off with, "I don't do surgery anymore, so if you end up needing surgery, I will have to refer you out." Well, that made me feel like I was wasting his time. I gave detailed information of my symptoms and even brought an MRI that a vascular surgeon had ordered to rule out a carotid tumor and also I brought the ultrasound my Endocrinologist had performed. He pulls up an MRI and we spent most of my visit going over that MRI. I was confused, because he was showing me things that I was unaware of and we didn't seem to find what the vascular surgeon and my endocrinologist had seen. I asked him to verify whose MRI we were reviewing. He said, "this was the only report on your account". It was someone else's report and he was in the wrong account. Now, I'm confused. He finally brings up my report and he quickly reviews that MRI and pointed out a few concerns. He wanted to do a Barium Swallow but needed to make sure it would be safe for me to do since I have alot of aspiration issues. On my car ride home, I had information from both MRI's in my head and could not remember what was mine and what was the other patient's results. They were suppose to call me back. Months went by and no call. When I went to my Endocrinologist this week, he showed me what Dr. Keefe had sent him. He had only typed the exact words of the finding on the MRI report. And he stated he referred me to another ENT, which never happened. It was a TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY to go see this doctor. Run, don't walk!!!! Find someone else.

Disappointed. My review is not for Dr.Keefe because I didn’t meet him at my new patient appointment. My review is for the staff member that brought me from the waiting room to the examination room and all but told me that I’m wasting my time here. After she noticed I have Hashimoto’s her mind was made up that I didn’t need to be there and told me to talk with my ENDO about it at my next appointment. Told me that she doesn’t like wasting her patients time and money if they don’t need to be seen. Which could be appreciated, had I not had other symptoms that were ignored. After she spoke with Dr.Keefe she gave me the choice to continue with the appointment or to go home and be refunded. I chose to leave since she made me feel as though I was wasting my time and theirs. She made it out to the receptionist that my Endo has been tweaking my Armour Thyroid and that is why I’m having the symptoms I am. Even though I’ve had awful post nasal drip and constant snorting to clear my throat since I was an early teen. Also that I never spoke about my medication being changed in dosage, etc. I would also like to remind her that the doors and walls are very thin. Everything, true or false said about a patient to the Doctor is heard. Dr.Keefe was highly recommended by a close friend, however, I will never come back here after my experience with that staff member.

Dr. Keefe is a wonderful doctor. He is very patient and kind. His office staff is Great also. They were happy to answer any questions. I had a tonsillectomy and part of my thyroid removed. I knew I was in good hands from my first appointment. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of and ENT.

I had pretty intense sinus surgery done recently and Dr. Keefe has been nothing short of a miracle. I had the surgery about a week and a half ago and I am already starting to see unbelievable results. Dr. Keefe is so thorough, insightful, knowledgeable and will not leave you hanging on any questions or leave any stone unturned. He does not push surgery as a primary option to fix issues (recommended an allergist to me to fix issues - my allergist was the one that sent me to Dr Keefe). You never feel rushed during office visits as he and his staff go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and have the answers you need before your visit is over. I, as I'm sure many of you, am not a fan of going to see doctors but Dr. Keefe has been great and I would absolutely recommend to anyone who is in need of ENT services.
