Shea Green provided expert care. My app't was a 9 month follow-up. Shea was very thorough with the exam asking me questions and allowing me to also ask questions to which she provided comprehensive answers. Shea is very knowledgeable, friendly, personable and, professional. She's a lovely lady!
Everyone in this office is professional, caring, pleasant, and friendly. The front desk was being given a very hard time by a "Karen" regarding wearing a mask. Those girls didn't even roll their eyes. They simply handed her 2 masks. I'm not sure I would have handled "Karen" quite as kind. Kudos to all!
I traveled 6 hours for my appointment and the office staff was wonderful. When I came in for my vertigo testing and having a headache they kept asking if I needed anything or if I needed to stop because of nausea they did. They had scheduled my results on the day we were to head home in the afternoon, by the end of my testing they had a cancellation and moved me first thing in the morning so we wouldn't be driving home late at night. I was warned that Dr Heiland doesn't always have the bedside manner everyone want's, but I found him easy to talk to , he listened to my symptoms and gave me a plan to start with even before we started my testing. I followed up with Bridget Albright the PA and she did a great job explaining the results of my tests and what the plan would be. It was well worth the drive to know that my health is in good hands and a plan in place to help me get my vertigo under control.I wish all healthcare offices could be as nice and professional
I was having vertigo events which culminated with a bad crash on my bicycle in Sept 2021. PA Bridget Albright was able to start testing me for audio and balance and was able to diagnose the issue with my inner ear. She prescribed a change in my diet and to start vertigo physical therapy. Dr Anthony Veglia began a physical therapy regimen focusing on my vertigo symptoms. Within a couple of months of the change in diet and the physical therapy, my vertigo episodes reduced in severity and occurrence. I am totally thrilled with the turn around. I am back to a normal life. Big kudos to the entire team at Scottsdale ENT.
I was diagnosed with Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness that started mid October 2020, diagnosed in January 2021. From spinning on standing to maintaining vertical without falling the majority of the time to being able to return to regular participation in Jazzercise classes 3 times a week took weekly visits to see the PT from February to early November 2021. I’ve now been back on my regular Jazzercising without spinning close to 98% of the time over the last month. Thank you to Dr Samantha Stolper and Dr Cathy Cheng, and then the last 3 months with Dr Anthony Veglia. All worked me hard and always had faith in me for getting back to the functional movement I was seeking. The very best help I could have, and they gave me hope.
Doctor Heiland has been my ear nose and throat physician for 21 years since March of 2000. At that time I was diagnosed with stage 3 advanced squamous cancer of the neck and base of tongue. His aggressive treatment is the main reason that I am alive today
I had my annual ENT appointment today 3/31/21 and I wanted to share what a positive experience it always is. The 2 women at the front desk are always pleasant and professional. Dr. MacKechnie is very thorough and caring and I always look forward to meeting with Debra Hamila, my Audiologist. I have been a patient for over 4 years and cannot say enough about this caring, professional staff.

I have been going to Scottsdale ENT for years. Originally I was referred to Dr Heiland. He's an amazing doctor... But he does book up fast, so when I had a issue that I could not wait for him I discovered Dr MACKECHNIE! She is amazing and also very through. I have never had any trouble with the front office. Like All doctors offices they can sometimes get busy, but when I've had an emergency they've always made room for me to get seen.
Came here after suffering ear syndrome in another state and got seen pretty quickly. Dr and the practioner were very thorough and professional. I also had follow up hearing tests which revealed my diagnoses. The Dr. Also suggested I get a full blood work up from other symptoms that I was exhibiting during my exam. I went back to my regular Dr and had a full blood work up that I would not have had competed if not for the recommendation of Dr. Heiland. I was later admitted to the hospital for further testing and diagnosed with an auto-immune syndrome. I also had excellent follow up appointments at this clinic and my ear issues are almost 100% back to normal. Would recommend thi clinic for any ear nose and throat issues.
I highly recommend Scottsdale Ear, Nose & Throat. First off, upon arrival, your temperature is taken and distancing in the waiting room is followed. Any staff you come into contact with are friendly and knowledgeable. Waiting time for your appointment is minimal and any required pre testing that can be performed onsite is very thorough and completed by a friendly, knowledgeable professional staff member. The Otolaryngologist I saw, Dr. Kurt Heiland, for throat and ears quickly became a favorite doctor. He was not only kind and gentle, but he performed testing on his own to confirm pre testing results. I was one of the luckier patients. I required no further procedures for my throat or ears. However, I would have been comfortable following any of Dr. Heiland's recommendations . I did purchase a great book he recommended for acid reflux. As previously stated, I highly recommend Scottsdale Ear, Nose & Throat for any and all your ENT needs.
Dr. Hiland was amazing. He was very kind and gentle. The surgery went very well. I was in a lot of pain from the splints, but other than that it went very well. The removal of the splints was also very painless. I took a pain med before so that helped. I will definitely refer my friends to him if they need to get their nose checked. Thank y'all for being so sweet to me. -Riley Pickett
Unfortunately - I'm a lifetime award winner for allergy/sinus issues, which in many cases, requires short-term assistance from experienced professionals. I called Dr. Heiland's office and secured an appointment within 48 hours. Bridget (PA) and the audiologist were both superb. They listened to my issues and concerns - thanks to their efforts, I'm a path to recovery, and would freely recommend this office.
I am very pleased with the treatment and service I received from Scottsdale Ear, Nose and Throat. Physical Therapist / Doctor who helped me was very attentive to the unique challenges I faced and tailored a customized treatment plan that helped me feel comfortable and allowed me the flexibility to progress at my own pace. I would highly recommend you to anyone who needs this type of treatment.
Very caring physicians and staff and when you have Meniere's Disease that is so important. It is very easy to get an appointment or phone call when you are having an issue.
After two years of having spotty hearing in my right ear, I finally went to Scottsdale Ear, Nose & Throat (while on vacation). I was treated by Dr. Heiland and his team. They were all phenomenal and I received my full hearing back in the one visit. They did thorough testing before and after my exam. I can't say enough about them and recommend this Dr. and team highly.
Dr Heiland is a phenomenal doctor and human being. He saved my life many years ago diagnosing a terrible infection and treating me quickly and with response to the urgency of the situation.
Dr. MacKechnie is excellent. She valued my input regarding my problem. I had been to several physicians over 6 months that thought my sore throat was GERD. I explained that it felt like an infection rather than my previous symptoms and she was willing to prescribe the antibiotics that fixed the problem. I will definitely see her again.
I just have to share that I've had the best doctor and front office experience at Scottsdale ENT than I've ever had at any doctor's office. Both Dr. MacKechnie and Dr. Hamila have been awesome. After a bad overall experience with another ENT office in Phoenix, Dr. Hamila suggested I may want to try a different brand of hearing aids. I agreed to give them a try and Wow! I am so happy I did! My new hearing aids are like comparing a Cadillac to a Yugo! Thank you all at Scottsdale ENT!
Great Doctor with awesome bedside manner. I had suspicious looking cells on my voice box. She operated to get a biopsy but while there she removed all the suspicious cells. As it turns out they were benign. She is an excellent surgeon. I would highly recommend her for all ENT procedures.
Without his professional and knowledgeable treatment of my cancer I would have died many years ago
His bedside manner is as.good as it gets. I'm grateful he has been my doctor

Plus Debbie is the best audiologist I have met in my 40 years of nursing.
I live in Surprise AZ and have no problem traveling cross town to receive the care I have received from this practice.
His staff are professional and caring and the audiologist was kind and patient and beyond helpful in explaining much to me.
I'm so thankful for this superior practice!!!
