I had a really great experience with Dr. Ideker. From the moment he came into the room, he was friendly, personable, and made me feel completely comfortable. He actually took the time to listen to me and answer my questions without making the appointment feel rushed, which I really appreciated. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and wants them to understand what’s going on with their care. I left my appointment feeling heard, reassured, and really happy with the experience. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ideker to anyone looking for a great ENT!

Great doctor! He goes above and beyond. Every doctor should be like this (but they are not).

He patiently listened to me and explained my treatment in a way that I could understand and I didn’t feel rushed. Most of all Dr. Ideker was patient with me.
