Tejas Ear, Nose and Throat, P.A.

Oh my ... What an experience I had at Tejas Ear Nose & Throat! The entire time that I was with "doctor" Tamez, I kept wondering if the guy was actually a real doctor. It was one of the most surreal experiences I've had with a doctor.\t\n\t\nAfter waiting for an extended... time in the exam room for him to arrive, he finally arrives and starts to tell me what is wrong before doing any sort of examination. Then he begins to backtrack after I convey some inaccuracies in his statements.\t\n\t\nThen one of his assistants flings open the door to the exam room and tells him there is someone there to see him. He seems confused ... first telling his assistant that he doesn't want to see the person, but then quickly changes his mind and abruptly leaves the room in the middle of my examination .... and, in doing so, he tosses my patient records on the counter spilling papers out of the folder. And there I wait again. And, wait. And, wait.\t\n\t\nHe finally comes back in the room and tries to pick up where he left off but he is obviously totally lost. I had to get him back on track. Then he launches into this rambling assessment that made little sense to me whatsoever. That said, maybe I was distracted by looking at the nasty sore on his upper lip, the bandaid on his head, and the food stuck in his braces. Don't know what was up with all that, but it was kinda like a train wreck ... ya couldn't help but look!\t\n\t\nI almost stopped him and told him to breathe and meditate for a moment so he could get himself centered. The guy was all over the place ... jumping from one idea to the next with seemingly no ability to connect the dots.\t\n\t\nHe then proceeds to tell me that he is going to take a picture of my sinuses "for education purposes" and hints to the fact that allowing him to do so is voluntary. So, I politely refuse. When I do so, he becomes very angry and launches into a tirade that I should be developing a synergistic relationship with him and that "one hand shakes the other". And then he blatantly says to me that he does not need to give me good service if he doesn't want to. I sat there shocked ... but finally asked him and verified that the photo was voluntary, to which he confirmed ... and again launches into another tirade, verbally abusing me for refusing.\t\n\t\nIt was one of those experiences where you are expecting Allen Funt to walk in and say that you're on Candid Camera!\t\n\t\nHis staff is absolutely lovely. I truly feel sorry for them. As for Doctor Tamez, I sat there totally amazed that this guy is actually a real doctor. I've dealt with doctors with big egos before ... and actually very much enjoy doctors who are confident ... but, "doctor" Tamez's ego certainly does not come from confidence. He seems to have a severe attention deficit disorder as well as some other obvious medical issues going on. The guy has some deep pathology for sure! Frankly, he seems emotionally imbalanced to me.\t\n\t\nUPDATE: After I wrote this review, my girlfriend told me about her experience with Doctor Tamez. He prescribed her a medication and she asked him whether or not it would conflict with the medications she was currently taking. He said that there was no conflict and to take them at the same time. But, when she went to get the prescription filled, her pharmacist told her that there was a conflict and taking both medications at the same time could cause her heart rate to reduce significantly and even to stop. So, he called Doctor Temez to verify that he wanted her to take both medications at the same time. Doctor Temez first told the pharmacist that it was ok to take both medications, but then called back a few minutes later in a panic telling him that she should not take both medications at the same time. This guy is dangerous. See him at your own risk. Read More

I had problems with dizziness, headaches and feeling faint and went to my doctor who ordered lab work and heart tests and when everything came back normal he recommended going to see Dr Tamez. After testing in his office he found my problem was related to VOR (vestibula...r occular reflex dysfunction) and also nasal airway obstruction. After doing about a dozen appointments for therapy (eye "excercise" therapy) and using a prescription nasal spray I have not had any problems with dizziness or headaches and I'm feeling 100% again! I recommend seeing Dr Tamez if you have these types of symptoms, too. Read More

What office have these other people been going to that gave bad reviews because it couldn't be the office that I went to. Simply a wonderful experience! Professional and calming staff, environment and physician. I can certainly see how cost can be high, but I also kn...ow that MY insurance is what determines that and has NOTHING to do with the physician's office at all and to be honest the cost of healthcare is just high these days. This office is not above average on cost in my opinion. Not only did Dr. Tamez quickly and accurately diagnose my problem, he was able to bring to my attention a neck nodule that I was not aware that I had. Luckily, it was not cancerous, but definitely could have been and if not for him, I would never have even noticed it was there. God bless Dr. Tamez and his caring and helpful staff. Read More

My daughter had a recently pierced ear that had completely closed around the earring. It was inflammed, infected and needed to be surgically removed. Our pediatrician called Dr. Tamez' office at 10 am and we were in his office at 1 pm. No waiting. Dr. Tamez was grea...t with my daughter, explained what was going on (she was not expecting surgery). He numbed the ear easily, talked to her through the entire procedure. I sat in the room watching....he was methodical, no unnecessary steps, kind, answered questions. We really liked him. His assistant checked our insurance before the procedure and came back in telling us we only had a copay, the entire thing was covered. We returned in 10 days to get the stitches out (a total of five - he had to open front and back to get entire earring and the back out). It has healed nicely and we had no charges at all for the follow up care.\t\n\t\nI'd recommend him highly. I have to say I'm a bit stumped by the bad reviews, but as we all know, no one can please everyone and some people just have a negative outlook on things. We personally had a great experience and would unreservedly recommend him. Read More

I'd recommend other ENTs before I'd recommend Dr. Tamez. Poor ability to delineate what his treatment entails and the likely effects.

I've only seen him once and what I could see he is very prof. and kind, The price seems to be fine and his staff is also good, However he needs to up date his phone # on the web it is now :(512-255-8070).\t\nI'll be seeing him again soon, More later...........,, I'm bac...k, well now he wants 75 up front, well we have good ins. I am gona look for another that want worry about my ins not paying but I will keep him in mind, I'll be back..... Read More
