Dr. David James Congdon, MD

CNA, Megan; informed she was a nurse. When I asked her title, she reluctantly admitted she wasn’t a nurse but informed that she was working on one and could give injections and do everything a nurse could do. Made me feel very reluctant

Unfortunately I agree with all the negative comments about this doctor. A common thread is usage of the words: Rude, arrogant, dismissive, and impatient. Those are all accurate. I had botox treatment with Congdon and he assured me that the injections he gave would be high enough above the eyebrow not to cause droopy eyelids. He failed to do so and I will never do business with him again.

Dr. Congdon is extremely impatient, rude, and inconsiderate! Reading these reviews, they sum up exactly what I experienced. I don't recall him acting like this years ago when my kids had their tonsils out. I'll drive miles to see anyone else. Why does he think he can be an allergy doctor now too? Went for a consult and he talked about allergy shots and surgery for my nose. He would not allow me to speak and was condescending. I will never go there again.

Dr. Congdon did a relatively new minimally invasive procedure called Vivaer. It kept me out of the OR and being put out which I really appreciated. It uses low energy radio frequency heating to reshape the nose cartilage so I could breathe better. I like his straight to the point approach. He is very good at what he does.

Dr Congdon has performed 4 surgeries on me and all went very well, however he has no patience or time to discuss any concerns. He makes it clear that he believes himself to be much better and smarter than all of we lowly patients. My last visit I explained symptoms I was having and was promptly dismissed and told I had a cold. At my age I know the difference between a cold and something more. I left his office and had to pay another copays for an urgent care visit to get the treatment I needed for Bronchitus. This doctor should not be allowed to speak with patients and should stick to the surgeries. If he would treat his staff better and let them answer questions, we would be much better off.

Dr. Congdon gave up to date options with one being with no surgical incisions which was very appealing. I like someone that gets right to the point saving us both time.

One of the most pleasant doctor visits I have had in the last 25 years

I had a facelift and blephariplasty done in 2005. Now, in 2019, I’m 78 People who don’t know my age are still surprised to find out, even these many years later. At the time, I told Dr. Congdon that I had no desire to look 20 years younger; I just wanted a better version of me. I think he succeeded and did an excellent job!

I typically don't write bad reviews but in this case, it's warranted. Dr Congdon is one of the rudest, most condescending human beings I have ever encountered. Laughed at us in a condescending manner when we asked questions, and treated us like we didn't matter AND, he had no idea what the issue was. He ordered a lot of tests which I would have been happy to undergo, had he not been so awful in my initial consultation. Instead, I contacted my primary physician and asked to be referred to someone else and she happily complied. I had a diagnosis at my first consultation, didn't need to undergo lots of additional tests and I was treated like a human being. If you want a good ENT - go see Dr. Hart. If you want a good plastic surgeon, go see Dr Mark Barnard. Both are EXCELLENT physicians/surgeons and human beings. Dr Congdon...not so much.

I saw Dr. Congdon twice. He may be Mayo trained, but he is one of the most arrogant people on earth. I went to Mayo directly rather than deal with this guy again. Dr. Joseph Hart (same building) & Dr. Mark Barnard (Wheaton Franciscan/Covenant) have just as good if not better, credentials, and they are nice, ethical people. I don't know any of them personally, I just wanted to give my honest review. Good luck--praying for all of you, esp. if you see Dr. Condor!

So when I read the reviews I was a little nervous to bring my little girl to him to get tubes. I AM GLAD I WENT TO HIM! Dr. Congdon and his staff were AWESOME! He explained everything thoroughly and answered all of our questions. His staff is also awesome. They followed up on us frequently to make sure we were comfortable and didn’t need anything. Great experience and I highly recommend him. He has made a lifelong customer (should we ever need him again!) and advocate!

I felt he was arrogant and condescending. He diagnosed me with an eustachian tube problem in my ear but I have finally gone to Dr. Gantz in Iowa City and I have Memiere's Disease. Felt he did not take my case seriously.

Dr. Congdon and staff are very professional as well as helpful. I would fully recommend seeing him if you have any kind of problem in his area of expertise.

I had sinus surgery 6 months ago by Dr. Congdon to repair my deviated septum and to open my sinuses because of chronic sinus infections. He did a great job! I feel great and breathe so much better now. I no longer wake up with a stuffy nose and have not had any congestion or pain since the surgery! It was the best decision I've made and wish I would have done it a long time ago. Dr. Congdon is a great surgeon and answered all of my questions and concerns before and after surgery. I would highly recommend him any ears/nose/throat related issues!

I would highly recommend Dr. Congdon to anyone. He and his staff are excellent, fast, friendly and professional. Something most doctor offices don't manage to pull off anymore.

gets huffy when asked a simple question!

He did a wonderful job on my surgery and is very informative and great with answering questions and follow-up after my surgery.

I had a freak accident in October. I came to with a gash from the top of my nose down to 3 inches below my bottom lip. He saw me and stitched me up in office. 50 stitches. I was back to work in 2 weeks. He did an amazing job. I'll be honest he's cocky and a little arrogant but I wouldn't go to anyone else!

Dr. Congdon and his staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. When they cared for my wife, I never have felt more comfortable with any other medical clinic than my wife and I did at Dr. Congdon's. He truly is an excellent doctor.

I had Dr.Trish for my practitioner. Very thorough in her treatment. I would recommend her highly. Never met Congdon. Rating are for Trish.
