Recommendations

LouiseWoodinville, WA10.01.12
My son has been a patient of Dr. Ou's for years. Dr. Ou has gone above and beyond time and time again to find the the right treatment plan for rmy son whether it involved surgery, or just ear drops. He always tries to balance the need for intervention with my sons needs. He takes great care when he does need to perform surgery, and he has a great combination of bed side manner and surgical skill. He completely cured my sons left ear and has really stuck with him trying to solve the recurrent problems with his right ear. For my profoundly autistic son, all of this has been incredibly important. My son *loves* him, and my son doesn't connect with most people he comes into contact with. I highly recommend Dr. Ou, and we see many excellent doctors from many specialties. So it is as an informed patient that i say : "Dr. Ou is outstanding!"
