Lake Mary ENT & Allergy

My 18 y/​o son has suffered with allergies & their attendant issues (sore throats, sneezing fits, headaches, asthma, vertigo) since he was 3. We’ve been to numerous Doctor’s & he’s found little relief. He usually just gets an Rx for Cingular & Nasacort, a terse lecture about the dangers of using OTC inhalers, and directions on how to flush his nose with saline (not pleasant or effective). He’s used the addicting OTC inhalers because they are the only fast (school compatible) consistent relief he’s found, until now.
Recently, after leaving Nemours yet again with ZERO relief & a $ 2,300 bill, we found Dr Damask at Lake Mary ENT & Allergy. And there my son found immediate relief.
Nemours said his ears were clear; the following day Dr Damask said they were not, & with a painless 10 minute proceedure, the pressure that had made him miserable for weeks was 100% gone. Dr Damask didn’t lecture about the inhalers, she was kind & understanding, saying she knows they helped him to breathe, but formulated a plan to wean him off them with oral & inhaled meds that’s working well. He also had the allergy testing & found he needs long term medication, & Dr Damask /​LMENT offered 3 options to choose from based on what’s best for the patient, as well as a great deal of detailed information on how to deal with the other specific elements he’s allergic to.

His medication will be formulated specifically for him, based on the results of his allergy test. These meds are custom compounded to meet each patients unique needs. My son will be starting these soon, and if they are as good as the rest of the care we’ve gotten from LMENT, he should finally be getting the help we’ve sought & paid dearly for at other places, but never recieved.
Dr Damask & every single member of the staff has really been wonderful to work with, very professional, accomodating & pleasant. When we first contacted them after leaving Nemours, I explained my son was in pain, & they scheduled him for the next day. The care he has recieved at LMENT has been the best we’ve found in central florida. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone with ear, nose, throat or allergy issues.
After reading the other reviews, I feel we should add that we never waited long to be seen. We were with testing staff or the Dr within 15 minutes of appointed time. All our questions were fully answered. We had a great experience here, and hope you will, too. And no, I’ve never met anyone from this office and get no «kick backs».

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses.
I called to make an appointment and the person who was setting it up was so rude and incompetent that I told her to forget it. After reading these reviews, I’m glad I DIDN“T make one!

Awful! Went here for help with my allergies. They did a blood test and concocted drops for me to take. They didn’t work. They suggested redoing the drops. When I asked questions so I could understand how the new drops would be different the staff member, over the phone, told me I was talking in circles. She was incredibly rude and dismissive. When I wrote a letter to the Dr. to let her know what happened, I never heard back. That employee needed to be counseled on patient care and should really not be in a position dealing with people. Would NEVER refer anyone to this place.

Dr. Cecelia Damask is «the» most compassionate, caring, and compete allergy doctor I have ever met. I have lived in Washington, D.C., Connecticut, New Hampshire, and now in Lake Mary. My previous allergy doctor, Dr. Porth, retired and I was blessed to find Dr. Damsak. She developed an excellent program to control my allergy but she and her staff constantly check up on their patients to make sure that they are doing well. I would strongly recommend that you select Dr. Damask as your allergy doctor. You cannot make a better choise.

I came in for an ear check, she looked in my ears and prescribed a med. I told her my throat was sore, Dr refused to look at my throat. Her assistant said I have to go to my family doctor for that. lol. not going back to lake mary ENT. Im a nurse, Ive never heard of a dr doing this and i have good insurance too

Wow, this place is really really bad! DO NOT GO HERE… the hearing doctor is ok, but wow, the staff, the doctor, what a waste of time and money. I went in for dizzy spells, they had me in there for 3 hours and only did a hearing test, really, I finally said I have to leave, it was 7 pm a night. and I have called 3 times to get my results of my hearing test for my records and each time they say will call you back. This place is bad, stay away, I will be calling my insurance company Cigna to complain.
