Dr. Holbrook was very thorough. He answered questions and reviewed the sinus CT scan. I was reassured that I did not need surgery at this point as had been recommended by a previous provider. I was relieved to try a different approach of a stronger steroid nasal irrigation as recommended by Dr. Holbrook. He was personable and informative. I would highly recommend him.

Overall, I was very, very satisfied with Dr. Holbrook. I felt like he was a good listener. He understood my situation. He gave me good feedback and I liked his recommendation of coming into the office. Overall, I would give him a really high rating, but at this point, because I don't know how he'll be as a doctor, I just had a telehealth visit. It would be hard for me to give him a 10 at this point, but I'd say eight or nine-ish in terms of how the telehealth call went.
