Fantastic doctor and human being. Very caring person and extremely thorough. Without him and his great staff, my husband would not be here today Anyone looking for an exceptional physician will not have to look any further than Dr Dobleman.
Dr. Thomas Dobleman gives the utmost patient continuing care and it flows also from his staff at every location. The surgical staff has the same compassion. His medical credentials are superb. Give his offices a call!!!

After 6 or so other doctors, two years of antibiotics and a failed surgery, I found Dr. Dobleman! He showed confidence immediately in my situation and actually put a name to my throat condition. He performed surgery on me and I have been problem free for almost 20 years! I would never go to any other ent!!

I have met many physicians but few have shown the same care and dedication to patients as Dr. Dobleman. He has the knowledge and bedside manner to put you at ease both in the office and getting a procedure. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a physician.

I have been treated by Dr. Dobleman for many years. He is a caring, terrific doctor. I would recommend him highly.
My son was seen by Dr. Dobleman after a basketball injury to his nose. He had an X-ray of his nose which was found to be broken. We were thankful to find out it did not require surgery. Dr. Dobleman took time and explained to myself and my son his X-ray, the type of fracture he had and the proper care for this injury. I was impressed with the amount of time he spent with us and how he seemed to truly care about my son.
Dr Dobleman diagnosed my head and neck issue after I had seen several healthcare professionals. He is clearly an expert in his field. He was so knowledgable,kind and thorough. His staff is wonderful and efficient. He explained things so I could understand and gave me the time I needed.
Dr. Dobleman treated my son for recurrent ear infections. They got us in right away and he was great with my son. He spent a great deal of time with us answering all my questions and addressing my concerns. He was very caring and professional. Surgery went great and my son hasn't had an ear infection since. Highly recommend!
Dr. Dobleman treated my son and my husband. I was very pleased with his bed side manners and appreciated the time that he spent with them and the treatment.
- John
Great staff and personal care for a potentially serious problem. They squeezed me Dr Dobleman's schedule and allayed my concerns. Got scheduled for surgery ASAP and given encouragement to not worry. This is how all docs should be.
- Fr lydell
I always had constant sinus headaches due to a deviated septum and enlarged nasal bones. Doc dobleman did surgery on four years ago and completely cured me. He is the best
