I grew up in the greater Seattle area and have never had an ENT this good. Dr. Wolpoe has fixed years of breathing problems other doctors couldn’t see.

I went in for a consultation because I’ve tried everything and I still can’t tolerate my BiPAP machine for sleep apnea. Even my sleep specialist had given up on me.

Dr. Wolpoe spotted the anatomical problem within seconds of examining me, and even saw my previous nose break and which side it was on- a feat not accomplished by the ENT’s I’ve seen around here.

He listened to my full medical history regarding this problem, which is a bit of a doozy and goes back to my infancy. He asked about previous treatment attempts and their results rather than trying them for a 4-5th unsuccessful time. We went straight to surgical options.

He and Rhea fit me in for a complex and multi-faceted nasal repair surgery before my husband and I move out of the state, during the busy holiday season no less! A week later, I’m breathing better than I have in years, and it’s only going to get better from here. Best of all - he knows someone where I’m going that may be able to help me with oral surgery.

Dr. Wolpoe is an excellent ENT and surgeon, and Rhea is an amazing nurse and advocate. Whatever you’re getting done here, I bet you’ll be happy with the results.

He’s also great at communicating with autistic patients. A medical advocate is always helpful, but I had no need for one here.
