This was a quick visit so there was no need for Dr Funnell to sit while talking to me. I get the question but it's not always appropriate/necessary for them to sit. I really appreciated Dr Funnell and his staff!!

All I really needed was removal of ear wax, which Dr. Funnel did quickly, efficiently and without pain or discomfort. He also looked at my nose and mouth and made a recommendation to alleviate dryness in my nose, which was not part of my initial issue or questions. He was quick, efficient, thorough and respectful and I didn't have to wait at all. Excellent experience.

Office staff very friendly and accommodating. They fit me in same day due to hearing loss. Dr. Funnell is exceptionally smart and recognized right away what my ear and nose problems were. In his words he quickly by"made them go away" and I was able to hear again. Also ordered MRI to be sure internal structures are ok. Also gave recommendations to relieve breathing symptoms, which I tried later and they worked. Vey happy to have Dr. Funnell as my ENT (he was recommended by my wife, a UH RN and patient of his too).

The office staff although not rude were not friendly and no one knows the power of a smile. They have no idea the stress the patient is experiencing. You need to do a "secret shopper" on all the office staff in all the offices.

At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.

UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
