I would strongly recommend Dr Johnigan as an ENT. Dr. Johnigan performed an extensive endoscopic sinus surgery on me in 2012, and did a fantastic job. in addition to that, he gave me much guidance of my allergy/sinus headache issues (as well as migraines). Because of this, I have had 0 migraine headaches in nearly 8 years, and minimal sinus issues.

I had a thyroidectomy and Dr. Johnigan was great. He took his time explaining things and the procedure went smoothly with a great result.

This doctor doesn’t thoroughly take your symptoms into consideration. I don’t think his goal is to find out exactly what’s wrong or look further into your symptoms.
I presented with ear pain and throat pain. He looked into my ears and never looked into my throat with a scope. (Let me remind you that he’s suppose to be an ENT specialist*) He diagnosed me with TMJ, basically said I was grinding my teeth in my sleep, which I don’t and I said that. He mistook a couple fillings for grinded teeth. Knowing that I didn’t have TMJ and that he didn’t properly diagnose me, I got a second opinion with a much better ENT, Mary Beaver... she immediately did the scope and discovered that I had lingual tonsillitis which was causing the throat and ear pain.
If you see this doctor, you may need to se another one to get an accurate diagnosis. Hopefully he sees this and does more to better diagnose his patients.

My 3 year old loves going to see "Dr John". We have had two surgeries and have had excellent resolution of recurrent ear infections. The wait time for appointment is sometime long but he is well worth the wait.

He completely mis-diagnosed my condition, even after I questioned him on the differences. A different ENT found the real issue and I ended up losing 2 years of getting to a cure.
