I have Meniere's Disease and have visited Dr. Sappington three times since my previous ENT retired. Every time, he gives you his full attention and spends as much time with you as you need --- no rushing. He is personable and fully explains your condition in layman's terms and provides you with options, I'm on the verge of needing a cochlear implant, but he is leaving the choice and timing up to me. Unlike many surgeons, he is not pushing surgery to make more money. He is more concerned about doing what is best for the patient. As a fairly young but experienced physician, he is on top of the latest research as he serves as an assistant professor at St. Louis University medical school. His staff is likewise friendly and works well to find appointments to fit the patent's schedule. I highly recommend Dr. Sappington to those who need the services of an ENT.
