Andrew was absolutely excellent. I went to the ER 10+ times over the weekend due to extremely concerning neurological issues. Andrew seemed even more concerned than me regarding my symptoms and helped me get through to the right specialists for further isolation of my condition. The front office staff was also extremely helpful and managed to get me in the same day after I walked in and explained what was going on. The audiologist was also wonderful and obviously very skilled at her job. I will highly recommend this practice to friends and family. Seriously, thank you.

Dr. Dharamsi and all his staff are amazing and so kind. They made booking my appointment stress free and very easy, the MA who roomed me was very kind and helpful, and I hardly had to wait to see the doctor. He was very kind, caring, and very informative. I appreciate his honesty about my situation and providing me with helpful tips to best prepared for my upcoming surgery. I'm actually looking forward to my surgery and feel I'm in the best hands!

Dr. Brown was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I scheduled my appointment for silent reflux but he also talked to me about my sleep apnea that I mentioned to him, and suggested treatment for that, after I do a sleep study. All of the treatment options for silent reflux were overwhelming but he wrote them down for me, which was much appreciated.
He & his staff were very nice. He had great bedside manner. I went to another ENT doctor a few months ago before seeing Dr. Brown and that doctor told me to "just live with it" (my constant throat clearing that I've been dealing with for over a year). So I'm very grateful that I found a great doctor and practice with Capital ENT.

I had my deviated septum fixed by Dr. Brown and it went wonderfully. Through all my appointments leading up to the surgery the office staff and nurses were always wonderful. The wait was never long at all and they had all my billing forecasts and insurance info checked on and ready to go. Dr. Brown has a fantastic bedside manner and I felt like he listened to AND addressed all of my questions and concerns with sincerity. I felt very well cared for. My surgery went very well and and I couldn't be happier.

Dr. Brown is a highly skilled, thorough and compassionate physician. He carefully explained various options available to me to treat an extremely difficult-to-treat condition. After much planning, we pursued a series of systematic procedures to incrementally resolve the problem. Eventually, we were able to improve the condition from an ultra-severe level to a moderate and easily managed level.
In fact, the condition was improved to clinically insignificant. The success was impressive, even according to two other specialists with decades of experience. As a bonus, the majority of steps taken were minimally invasive! Thank you Dr. Brown

Dr. Wassmuth is wonderful. I feel like I got the best care, that he did the best job a doctor could do to help me breathe better. Not only that - and in my opinion, more importantly - he genuinely cares about his patients. He listened well to my concerns and took time to answer my questions. Because he took time to talk to me, I know that he keeps learning about the newest research and techniques that will help his patients thrive. 6 out of 5 stars - highly recommend!

I went to this office because of the great reviews I read online. And I'm glad I did! Dr. Brown and his staff are top notch. The procedure he recommended has literally changed my life. I can breath again! And it gave me a better quality of sleep and I now have more energy during the day. Very grateful I went and will continue to go whenever needs arise.

Everyone and everything here are excellent! I had a consultation in September for nose breathing issues which I've struggled with all my life. My diagnosis was explained clearly and my action plan was laid out well. The surgery coordinator did an awesome job with her breakdown of insurance coverage and schedule logistics. My operation took place in November (in-office procedure, ~1.5 hours between arrival and departure).
Everything was smooth, no complaints whatsoever. The nurse helped me feel at ease and answered all my questions. My recovery was swift and I'm already feeling improvements in my nasal cavities. I'm super excited to see how things progress from here! My entire experience with Cap Oto has been amazing and I'd wholeheartedly recommend them!

Went to see dr brown for a never ending sinus infection. Had seen my primary care doctor beforehand who gave me rounds of different antibiotics that made no improvements. Had sinus pain and pressure daily trouble sleeping at night and couldn't get through day without extra strength Tylenol. Dr Brown did an in office ct scan that showed the sinus was completely blocked. He did his procedure to clear it out and now I finally feel normal again. Thank you dr brown + staff!

Honestly, one of the best experiences in a medical provider's office I've ever had. The front desk staff member was so very kind, professional, and welcoming. The Audiologist was efficient and explained everything well since it is a rather uncommon experience for most patients.and it was sort of fun (haha). The provider, Dr. Brown, took the time to explain my issue and address my concerns and questions.
It was a quick appointment but thorough that left me with everything I needed to address previous issues and what I should do should this issue reoccur. The only "concern" I have is that I reviewed my visit through the patient portal following the visit and found that my temperature and blood pressure was documented even though the MA didn't take any vitals. She, like everyone else, was very professional and personable; but she asked me if I had my flu and CoVID vaccines then asked my height and weight.
It doesn't seem appropriate to be documenting things that, either, never happened or are inaccurate. Overall, fabulous experience and I wouldn't consider any other ENT/oto office should I require their services in the future.

I went to see Dr Brown after several (10+ years) of congestion and difficulties breathing through my nose. Dr Brown was able to quickly and effectively diagnose my problem. I had consulted elsewhere before and doctors were very quick to propose a septoplasty. Dr Brown on the other hand proposed a less invasive turbinate reduction. And i am so glad he did.
The procedure took 20 minutes and the recovery was painless. And the best part. i can breath now. Like a normal human! Ive never felt so great! Thank you Dr Brown. I would highly recommend.

I have searched for help with apnea, sleepless nights & breathing difficulty for years. Dr. Wassmuth and assistant, Victor, have completely transformed my life. Went to see Dr. Wassmuth for a surgical procedure and he recommended non-invasive medical strategy that has provided me quality of life I've been praying for.

Went in to address a deviated septum and was very pleased with the results. Dr. Wassmuth and team are definitely top notch. My expectations we're managed, questions around the procedure, recovery and results were addressed promptly, post-op was managed effortlessly and billing was completely transparent. I'm very happy and highly recommend Dr. Wassmuth and Capital Otolaryngology.

Dr. Wassmuth and Victor are top notch! My appointments were quick and informative. When it came to the surgery, Victor did everything to make it a fun (his personality is contagious) and stress free experience. From consult to post-op follow up, I felt that I was valued. I have already bragged so much about them that two of my friends are planning on calling to fix their sinus and nose problems!

I wish I could give 10 stars for Dr. Dharamsi. I just had surgery to correct a deviated septum and turbinate reduction. I can breathe sooooooo much better now. The surgery recovery is not super easy but definitely worth it. Dr. Dharamsi is an EXCELLENT SURGEON. I'm thrilled with the result and haven't been able to breathe this well in 20 years.
I would highly highly recommend Dr. Dharamsi, he is the BEST! Would trust him with any ENT needs - sheer excellence! Update: Completely heeled, and I'm so happy with the result, I can take such a deep breath now. If you're not able to breathe deep into your solar plexus and really fill your lungs, you're missing out. This surgery has added so much to my quality of life! Thank you Dr. Dharamsi - you set the bar high!

I've suffered from a severely deviated septum for most of my adult life. My inability to breath properly was leading to all sorts of other health issues such as sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and several periodontal disorders. So I was really excited to find out I could have my septum repaired and potentially reduce those other medical issues as well.
I was pretty nervous about having the procedure done during COVID but I honestly couldn't wait any longer. Fortunately, I had nothing to worry about. Dr. Dharamsi team at Capital Otolaryngology were super professional and always kept my health and safety paramount. The surgery was a lot cheaper than I expected (with insurance) and recovery, while intense, went without a hitch.
I am SOOO happy with the results. I am breathing better, sleeping better, even my senses of smell and taste have improved! I am so grateful for Dr. Dharamsi and his team and wish I had gotten the procedure done years ago.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Latif Dharamsi and his office. From the consultation, through surgery and follow-up, staff were very friendly, explained everything completely, and they were very friendly. Dr. Dharamsi was extremely professional with me and my family and also never rushed me. He ensured all my questions were completely answered to my satisfaction. And the actual results were just as I had hoped. I would definitely recommend him for your sinus issues.

Dr. Brown was but I cannot get my treatment. He prescribed me meds to continue to resolve my issue but the office has refused to send it to my pharmacy. I have made over 5 calls and 2 weeks later no meds at my HEB. My symptoms are now returning but I cannot get treated. I have no insurance so I paid 300.00 out of pocket for this appointment to get treated now I have to wait again next month to pay for another doctor to get treated and diagnosed all over again. I don't recommend to use this office at all.

Twenty years after some major sinus surgery, I started to have problems again with some serious sinus issues after airline flights. I went to Capital Otolarngology based on the reviews, and met Dr. Latif Dharamsi. I had a great experience. He listened attentively as I described my issues (and most importantly, he took me seriously), *examined me first*, and only then said that I was a great candidate for the new balloon sinuplasty procedures.
He explained the procedures, and for my urgent condition, was able to immediately schedule me within 72 hours for surgery, which is right in their office. The surgery went great. The anesthetist and the nurse were very accurate, helpful, and professional. After surgery, the minor side effects were exactly as he described they would be, and the surgery was a fantastic success for me with very little cost after insurance.
The severe problems are gone. I received two post-op follow-up visits where he very carefully evaluated what was going on after the surgery. I also asked for a post-op hearing test and was amazed at how much hearing tests have technologically improved over the last 15 years. I was very glad to find out from the staff and doctor that my hearing was unchanged over the last 15 years.
I cannot recommend Dr. Dharamsi and the staff enough. I have referred several people to Capital Otolaryngology since then and have gotten very positive feedback, including one person who needed hearing aid reassessment/upgrades and it was far less expensive and more accurate than she expected. If you have had chronic issues and didn't know what to do, the great reviews are spot on, this is the place to go.

In need of a septoplasty, I decided to go with Dr. Wassmuth after reading the positive reviews online and doing an in-office consultation. I thought I had a pretty severely deviated septum so I sought out doctors who were double board certified in both Otolaryngology and Plastic Surgery as well as doctors with just an Otolaryngology certification.
I noted that Dr. Wassmuth was only Otolaryngology certified, but he assured me he had done hundreds of surgeries over the years and felt confident in his abilities. All I have to say post op is that the surgery was not successful. My septum is still in the same state. After my surgery, he said that because my septum deviation was closer to the tip of my nose, he was not comfortable operating on that part of the nose.
A doctor should absolutely inform their patient of this information prior to surgery and refer them to another specialist. I am extremely disappointed and feel misled. If you have a complex deviated septum, I would advise you to get your surgery from a double board certified doctor. The only saving grace is that the surgery did not make my condition worse, though a second procedure in the future will have higher risk.

So thankful my son was referred to Dr. Dharamsi! Our experience with the office and with Dr. D was phenomenal! The appointments were very easy to schedule, the staff was friendly and better yet my son can breathe again all thanks to Dr. D. He is kind, compassionate and made us all feel comfortable, especially during my son's adenoid removal surgery. He is thorough and takes the time to care. We were very lucky to find Dr. D and I highly recommend him as your ENT Dr.

I'm SO thankful for dr Dharamsi, he is so sweet and extremely knowledgeable, I don't feel rushed like any other office, he actually takes his time to explain everything. The best dr ever! Also the team is very professional and sweet! Front desk ladies provided me with all the info I need BEFORE I was seen so there is no confusion when it comes to payment since i don't have insurance. Everyone was really sweet. If I can give more than 5 stars I would!

These guys take front office paperwork to a new level Cold and uncaring front desk pages and pages of papers to fill out along with what can only be described as a "bouncer" manning the front desk Despite getting up early to be the first patient in the morning so was no one in front of me: I sat in the waiting room alone and waited almost an hour to be seen. Don't give you the standardExcuse: The doctor serving other patients. 1. That's bullshit because I was the first person there. 2. If they can get through medical school, I'm sure they can figure out how to schedule people without making me wait forever.

Capital Otolaryngology and particularly Dr. Dharmasi are all caring professional caregivers for your ears, nose, and throat. I have been a patient there for four years and have found them easy to get appointments with, knowledgeable about my issues, and willing to go the extra mile when I needed a quick appointment. I feel they treat all their patients the same. Highly recommend.
