After returning from Haiti on a recent Intervol medical mission trip, I am surprised by many things. Haitians still have such limited access to the basics - clean water, trash service and medical care. However, they remain proud of their culture. Despite the crumbled buildings, there is bright color and art in Haiti.
Dr. Karen Stierman was on KVUE Midday recently to discuss the dangers of grill brushes. Research published in the April 2016 edition of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery examines the incidence of injuries caused by ingesting wire bristles from grill brushes, and prompts physicians and consumers to take notice before the summer grilling season.
"I absolutely love Dr. Stierman. Whenever I come to the office, I'm seen quickly and rarely have to wait. Her staff is always really nice and I'm able to get a same day appointment when I'm sick. Thanks to her, I've finally gotten relief after seeing so many doctors without answers. I highly recommend her!" – Jessica
"Had a great experience this morning with Dr. Briggs and the entire staff of the ENT Center of Austin. The front office staff were very responsive and friendly. They took care of my paperwork in real efficient and professional manner. Dr. Briggs was right on time for my appointment and super pleasant. Took time to explain what he was doing and had great interpersonal skills. Their whole team just worked so well together and obviously enjoyed what they were doing. I recommend them highly." – Jeff S.
