Christopher J. Rathfoot's Online Review Report Card

I should’ve written this review before now but today is my 2 year anniversary of transfer from UT to Select Speciality - Powell . I was that 2-5% severe Covid patient that had to go on a ventilator. When they tried to take me off of it and I couldn’t tolerate it and they tried the ventilator but couldn’t because my airways were blocked they called in Dr Rathfoot to do a tracheostomy. I believe that was the best decision for me because then I got better, within a week they transferred me to Select Speciality . Fortunately for me his office was right beside it and they wheeled me there by wheelchair. When he came in to the room he looked at me and “ You look so good .” I guess I did seeing that I almost died the last time he saw me . The story goes that he numbed me very good and took the trachea out and I’ve done very good ever since . I was worried about the hole in my neck and the wrinkles from the tape but there were no need to . The cut that he made was in a crease in my neck that you can barely tell and all the wrinkles are gone . I feel very fortunate that Dr Rathfoot was my ENT . Thank you Dr Rathfoot!

I went in the fall of 2020 for chronic ear pain. He spoke to me like a child, disregarded every symptom I spoke about, and talked over me the entire time. He concluded that I had TMJ from grinding my teeth, which wasn't true. When I asked him to prove this theory, he said it would be proved when he gave me a shot in my face. I didn't want it, but he gave it to me anyways after I said no. After trying to get away from the needle in my face, he dislocated my jaw. I left that appointment with a numb face, dislocated jaw, and 2 years later I still have chronic ear pain. By far the most horrifying experience I've ever had.

He calls everything an anomaly and refuses to help you. Wouldn’t recommend at all!

He is the best listener you could hope for and describes possible treatments in detail. Would rate 10 star if possible.

Dr Rathfoot is one of the nicest Drs I've ever had the privilege to meet. Was very honest with my diagnosis and gave me cost saving ways to treat me. May God bless this kind Dr.

Dr. Rathfoot took great care of our child!! I found doctors for years to take our son's tonsils out pediatrician and children's hospital refused!! Despite having 20 plus doctor appointments in a year!! New family doctor sent us to Rathfoot!! Before seeing him our son had a fever of 107.4 from his tonsils because they were full of stones (which I and all doctor had seen for years) had the other doctor listened to me it would of saved a lot of visit and a worried mama about her son who had lost faith in doctors!!! Dr. Rathfoot listen to our medical history on our son and immediately said they would come out!!! He was the answer to our prayers for so long!!! We are beyond grateful a year later and no strep throat and has only been sick once!!! 🙌

Dr. Rathfoot and his staff are amazing! He always takes the time to talk with you. He is wonderful!

Dr. Rathfoot is an EXCEPTIONAL PERSON! He came into the office where I was and was just SO CARING about my issues. He is an EXCELLENT DOCTOR and he is an EXCEPTIONAL person as I could FEEL that he cared about me as a person. He shared with me information so that I UNDERSTOOD what was happening to me. EXCEPTIONAL person & doctor.

Wonderful. Caring and wise Dr. which is a fantastic combination

Dr. Rathfoot arrived in room, smiling, holding test results, saying I had TMJ , not a Eustachian tube problem. I have never had nor do I have a TMJ problem. I tried to listen to his logic as he looked at a test that clearly showed I was hearing differently from one ear. Oh, it’s just an anomaly. He was talking as he backed up to the door and slid out. Never said goodbye or anything. I was stunned and very disappointed in his lack of care. He clearly wanted to be rid of me. He is! I went to another ENT specialist and have resolved my Eustachian tube crackling, popping and muffled. Clearly, Dr. Rathfoot had better things to do than listen to a new patient. Sad and disappointed. First time I have ever felt like a dissatisfied patient. First time!! Guess I’ve been lucky!! Eleanor Bailiff
