Thomas Oma Hester

Dr. Hester has been my ENT for several years. He did a biopsy on a place on my face. Fortunately, it was benign. He referred me to a colleague of his who specializes in removing this type of tumor in saliva glands. Dr. Hester is a very knowledgeable, carrying professional. He answered my questions, and didn’t rush. I have a lot of respect for him.

Would not recommend. Nurse was unprofessional and asked same questions as what I was asked to complete in writing upon arrival. She stuffed cotton balls up my nostrils without clearly explaining what she was doing and why. Dr. Hester inserted a camera on the end of a 8” flexible scope up each nostril without explaining what he was looking for. I was extremely uncomfortable and he became visibly frustrated. He told me 99% of his patients didn’t have a problem with it. Then he told me he does the same thing with children. Not sure how that was relevant to me. Overall experience was very frustrating and I regret going to this practice. Seems like a money making machine with no regard for patient comfort or care. Would not recommend.

I had some scar tissue in my ear (surfer). Dr. Hester removed it in the office, completely and painlessly. Notice the negative reviews don't say what was wrong or what was done.

After a few visits I still am not well and not really happy about my results with him.

Very good visit...Dr. Hester figured out in ten minutes what had befuddled three or four other doctors for two years. In fact, the other ENT's and specialists never did diagnose the problem.

Dr. Hester always takes the time to listen and is helpful in explaining things in a way that is easy to understand. I have always had a great experience with him and his staff. Would highly recommend him.

Unbelievable worst bedside manner I have ever seen in a doctor. I was suffering from acute Meniete’s at the time, which had just begun a month prior. I could barely walk. Had every sign of Meniere’s and he not only missed the diagnosis, he put me on a low sodium diet and pretty much blew me off as having an infection. I haveone of the most horrific diseases of the inner ear and he missed it. His sense of humor was in very poor taste also. I’m now under the care of a specialist ar MUSC Dr Rizk

I went to Doctor Thomas O.Hester expecting nothing and that just what i got nothing. They did not do one thing to help me and he calls himself a specialist. They made sure to tell me what the bill was.

Dr. and staff wonderful.
