• Patient Testimonials

  • Samantha Seattle, WA 09.12.19

    My daughter has been seeing Dr. Dahl since she was six months old. He has been very patient, professional and has great bedside manner. My husband and I feel like we couldn't trust anybody more than we trust him as our daughters OTO surgeon! As someone who works in healthcare, i'm always full of questions and literally... always bring a list of questions with me to ask. Dr. Dahl goes through my questions one by one and always makes sure that my mind is at ease about our daughters care. I have no doubt that she is in good hands with him taking care of her. Thank you for everything you do Dr. Dahl! You truly change lives. -Rivera family
