I have known and seen this provider for over 30 years. He may come off as gruff, but he is just not wasting his time or yours. Very efficient for a nice change. He is extremely knowledgeable and I have known him to continue to keep up with his specialty by almost constant reading, while also engaging in other activities. Very well-rounded. I know some things about his competitors and, believe me, I wouldn't see anyone else.
Dr. Stillwater has been my ENT for the past 12 years. He has always treated me with great respect and I trust him. Those who write negative responses obviously have not attended medical school and dedicated their lives to helping others. If a negative response keeps someone from seeking this doctor for help would truly be a shame. Dr. Stillwater is highly trained in his field and knows what he is doing. He can treat a runny nose any day of the week but please don't expect him to treat your bad manners.
He is just very blunt, gruff, and impersonal.. Makes you feel like your in In & Out burger... His diagnosis may be correct but I'm not sure I would feel entirely comfortable with him putting me under the knife!
