Thomas Tamura, M.D.

Really nice Dr. took the time and listened to concerns and answered my questions about what I would need to do

Thank you for listening to me and being compassionate. You didn’t rush me out and came up with a plan and I truly appreciate that.

I enjoy our visits and the explanations and analysis.

Very polite and helpful.

Dr. Tamura worked with me to get me the best outcome. He didn't push me one way or the other and just provided unbiased advice. Very professional

really knows his stuff. Love working with him

Dr. Tamura is a very down-to-earth doctor who is easy to talk to and makes each visit comfortable.

Great doctor and all staff

Very competent and professional

Little bit of a hurry. I don’t think of my questions fast enough.

Professional and cometent

Very pleasant and helped my daughter feel comfortable in being evaluated. Thorough.

Made me feel Iike my story was the same as all else and did not hear anything I said and treated me like it doesn't matter.

Very friendly and knowledgeable.

My family has enjoyed having Dr. Tamura. He is great with kids and makes sure you understand what he is saying.

He does a good job taking care of my ears. And I appreciate him coming to Brookings

Always a pleasure to work with Dr. Tamura and the Midwest ENT team!

Very informative. Thanks

Dr. Tamura listen closely to my issues and his explanation was clear. He answered my questions with patience.

Great doctor. Very attentive and engaged in my care. I would recommend him to anyone seeking ENT help.

The best!

Dr. Tamura put me at ease immediately and I felt that I was heard.

Dr Tamura did an amazing job with my toddler!

Great experience!

Dr. Tamura fit our son in very last minute with a very inflamed tonsil when his primary in Brookings wanted him to have someone else look at them. He fit us in his busy schedule the next morning. He was super kind, knowledgeable and we were blown away with how fast they fit us in. We then followed up a month later for a hearing test and follow up on fluid in our son’s ears and we were very impressed with his kindness and knowledge again. He will be doing our son’s tubes and adenoids at the end of the year and it is so nice that he can do surgery in Brookings. We would 100% recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Tamura took the time to explain what the plan of care would be. He listened to my concerns and my history of not feeling well.

Very caring, engaging and takes time to explain details. It was very apparent he had reviewed my chart before the appt.

Very friendly, calm, kind, and most importantly understanding of patients with anxiety, 100⭐

Doctor Tamura is an excellent doctor he took time to explain everything to me so I could understand what he wa saying

Great replacement for retired Dr. Helvik

Poor bedside manner. Disinterested in issue

Great insight and takes to listen to questions!

Very professional and very thorough. Takes the time to completely explain procedures and answer any questions you may have.

I think he is very knowledgable, but he speaks very quickly and when you're there for a hearing issues it makes it difficult.

Excellent caring doctor!!❤️

I like Dr. Tamura. He is patient friendly and he has a nice personality.

Very pleasant and very honest

Very personable, friendly and kind.

He was rushed. Seemed interested in getting on to the next person.

Seemed bored and unconcerned

He was wonderful and listens to parents concerns along with thinks to the future and not just right now

Excellent service from the doctor and the person at the desk.

I don’t have any one to compare to but Dr. Tamura is very nice and willing to listen and answer any questions I had. Made the experience easy to understand and simple.

He explained what he thinks is causing the hoarseness in my voice.

I felt as though he listened to us as parents and provided family-centered care.

Dr. Tamura was very kind and patient with my son during an office procedure.

very knowledgeable and upfront, tells you exactly what is wrong and what your options are!

Probably my favorite doctor to visit. Incredibly polite and personable. Appreciate all he does. - Matt V

Dr. Tamura is great. However the process of appointments is not very good. When they closed for weather they did not contact their patients for the day letting them know they closed. Then they never called to reschedule the appointments they canceled. Also the automated system is very hard to understand.

Dr. Tamara, is a very kind, thorough and professional physician. We have tremendous confidence in his skills and abilities. I would and have recommended him to family and friends.

Dr.Tamura, was very personable and easy to work with to help find a solution to my issue. He is knowledgeable and thorough. I would recommend him to others.

Dr. Tamura was great...

super friendly and always remembers you with a huge smile. Takes great care of his patients,

Asked questions and actually LISTENED to my answers. Had a casual, yet professional approach to our interaction. Made me feel comfortable.

Has been a very pleasant Dr. So glad to have him as our Dr.

Very professional and personable

Great Doctor who cares and concerned about patients. Takes the time to spend with patient. Excellent no doubt.

Very professional, personable and answers all my questions.

He spent plenty of time with me and I didn’t feel he was rushing the visit.

Dr. Tamura always makes the visits fun, not intimidating, and always explains things in a way I can understand. I bring myself AND my kids to him because he is also great with kids.

Very nice and helped explain everything so we left feeling very informed!

Physical exam was poor - didn't get any solution or explanation for presenting complaints.

Very Patient and caring

Friendly and explained plan simply

Dr. Tamura prescribed medication for the itching in my ear, but did not list possible reasons that I've had that for 2 years. The doctor has a great personality and it was easy to talk to him.

Super Guy, Great Dr,

Exceptional caring medical professional

Wish I had done this procedure years ago. Dr. Tamura took the time to talk me through the process with less pain than I expected. I'm recommending all my friends from Sioux City travel to Midwest ENT for surgical treatment.

I saw Dr. Tamura for a second opinion on some ENT issues. He listened to my concerns and together we came up with a game plan. I felt a lot more comfortable with him than the previous ENT physician I had seen (different clinic). I felt he helped me decide on the best course of action for my issues. I would highly recommend Dr. Tamura.

Very thorough, very professional with a reassuring personality.

Poor communication. I waited nearly a month to get in and I felt like I got 5 minutes of the doctors time. I left the appointment still feeling very unclear about the issue at hand and treatment plan going forward. Poor bedside manner and poor communication.

Dr. Tamura was great! He was thorough and wonderful with my active 4 year old. So friendly and made the visit fun!

Neutral,basic visit, no problems, professional,

Very kind, very thorough! Would highly recommend!

Glad it is done. And not as bad as expected.

He knows exactly what I need and takes good care of me

I felt he was really concerned and took as much time as I needed.

Very personable- great provider.

In terms of doctor/patient relationship and tentative assessment of my condition, he was excellent. It is far too early to know if his resolution of my problem will be successful.

Had a needle biopsy painless! He's so calm and competent .

Absolutely the best in every way possible. Thanks again, Norman Hofer

I understood him, seemed thorough,was pleasant.

very knowledgable, easy to understand proceedure descriptions.

He tested as necessary & gave me clear answers. Great bedside manner. Would recommend to others.

Excellent in knowledge and very caring In listening to my problems of acid reflux up in my upper throat. He gave me hope that the meds he offered to help me would work and in a short time my burning pain would stop!

I was very pleased with his treatment and would recommend him to my friends.

Dr. Tamura does an excellent job of addressing his patients problem and answering any questions.

Arrogant and treated my child as a # and not like a person. He talked to me like I was child and not a adult.

thank you so much The smile on the patient's face is healing itself. May the Lord bless you and keep on going

He was wonderful with my daughter.

Very Professional and listens to your needs. Great asset to your company.

He is a great doctor. He listened to all of our concerns.

Dr. Tamura has great bedside manner with my child and takes the time to answer questions. He isn’t opposed to a conservative approach when it’s warranted and we trust his judgement. Very calm and collective.

Dr. Tamura was respectful and friendly. I have spent a lot of time around physicians both professionally and as a patient. He ranks at the top. He explained everything and gave me treatment choices.

Very personal able and took time to over everything.

Great guy

Have absolutely no problems, Great doctor ....Norman Hofer

He helped me get in the same day to see Dr. Todd to do a needed surgery before the end of the year. Was very friendly, listened to me, and helped me right away.

He was very helpful, professional and very nice to my son!

Kind, informative.

He did a great job explaining the images from the scope. He was patient and kind and enciuraging.

He really knows what he is doing.

Very personable. Talked a little fast maybe for someone going through a procedure they’re nervous about.

Nice doctor who you can rely on for honest answers

I went to rule out some things. He unfortunately was not able to directly help me, but gave me information and other specialties that might be able to help. Dr. Tamura also validated some of my concerns.

Took his time with me and explained everything to my understanding.

Dr Tamara is very thorough, great at offering options for treatment, and empathetic and all around great doctor!

Kind, thorough, excellent skills.

He is a wonderful doctor. I feel him n staff are like family. He and his staff are very hi thought of by me
