Brenda Speed is the BEST! She will take care of you! She explained everything to me so that I could understand it and SHE made the phone call herself to get me in to see her.

Dr. Speed was excellent. She clearly communicated what she was evaluating, how she was evaluating it, any concerns or questions that she had about prior test results. And talked about additional tests that she would like to schedule and why she wanted to schedule them. I was very impressed and even told her so before I left. And I should point out that I am not easily impressed by medical professionals. I asked her if I could recommend her to my brother and if he could set up an appointment by calling the ENT Clinic directly. I immediately contacted him with the information when I left the appointment.
