Steven Trey Fyfe, MD

Went to Dr Nason for my nasal breathing difficulties. He detected a small obstruction on my septum and after a minor surgery I can breathe so much better. I had a similar surgery 15 years ago and this time it went so much better with Dr Nason. No pain or difficulties. He has a great bedside manner, cares about his patients, and is very attentive. I could not recommend an ENT doctor more highly than Dr Nason. He is fantastic.

Dr. Fyfe has great bedside manner; he is friendly and seems to truly care. He spent a long time discussing my issues with me, I never felt like he was trying to rush me out of the office. A friend recommended him to me after she benefited greatly from a sinus procedure he performed on her. I really trust him and would totally recommend him!

When selecting a doctor I usually check credentials, experience, and location; however, when I stay with a doctor it’s because on their expertise, bed-​side manner, and above all… trustworthiness. Dr. Fyfe embodies all of these requirements. I’ve received several procedures from Dr. Fyfe over the past years and he always goes above and beyond to ensure the highest level of care. You may need to wait to see Dr. Fyfe, but as the saying goes, good things come to those that wait! His staff are awesome too!!!

I came to see Dr. Nason at Fyfe ENT in May 2015 after having a prolonged fungal infection post-​surgery by another facility (Tejas ENT — Dr. Tamez, whom I would NOT recommend).
Dr. Nason was very proactive in getting the infection properly diagnosed and treated and eventually had to perform a second surgery to treat the fungal infection. His staff was on top of my treatment and responded quickly when I was in pain or had any issues.
Dr. Nason sat down with me, reviewed my CT scans with me and explained what he was doing and why various procedures needed to be done (and backed up what he was recommending with research findings). I had been through a nightmare in my previous surgery at Tejas and was in constant pain since right after the surgery in February. Dr. Nason really facilitated a huge change in my health — I went from being in pain daily for months, to almost completely healed up now. His treatment really made a difference in my life and corrected what had been done by my first doctor.
From the beginning, Dr. Nason and his staff were incredibly professional and consistent. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Nason and his staff any day of the week!

Wow. Doctors like Dr Fyfe are hard to find. He is knowledgeable, not quick to suggest surgery, great bedside manner and even called me personally with my lab results to answer any additional questions I had. I went to him for a second opinion and am so glad I did. I highly recommend Dr Fyfe for any ENT needs you have.

Dr. Fyfe has been my doctor for 15 years, including doing a sinus surgery for me. As of lately however, and I don’t know whether it’s a change of his office philosophy or his office staff, but it has not been a very friendly climate.
Even after an office visit, I’ve not been able to get him to write a prescription for more than one week. I guess doctors make enough money they can pay a co-​pay for one week’s medication, but for the rest of us we need our prescriptions by the month.

Dr. Fyfe is literally the best doctor I’ve seen in Austin. He’s smart and honest and doesn’t recommend medicine or surgery for things that can be fixed without them. He is also very humble which seems to be rare in the field. I think he’s a gem.

We needed an ENT for my 4.5 year old and found him online and very glad we chose Dr Fyfe.
Our daughter had some greenish item stuck in her ear that we couldn’t remove. Dr. Fyfe was extremely professional with us and his demeanor with our daughter was also excellent.
The rest of the team at the surgery center was also friendly and very nice.
Added bonus: Parking at both the regular office and surgery center was very easy!
Thank you Dr. Fyfe.

Last week Dr Fyfe removed half of my thyroid in a two hour operation.
It’s rare to find a skilful surgeon that also is great at human interaction.
Studies have shown that most patients care about bedside manners over competence, strange but true. With Dr. Fyfe you will get both.
He and the office staff are also excellent at communication before and after procedures/​appointments.
The office is easy to find and has a large convenient parking lot.

So about a year and a half ago, I had a sketchy lymph node in my neck. My GP referred me to Dr. Fyfe, and he did a needle biopsy. That came back clean, but in an abundance of caution Dr. Fyfe opted to remove the lymph node and do more testing.
Dr. Fyfe and his staff were always really friendly during my visits, and he did a good job keeping me calm during a stressful time. The surgery was smooth as can be, and I went home from the hospital just a couple hours later. My post-​surgery follow up appointment with him was pretty brief, but I didn’t feel rushed. Also, they accept BCBS and parking was always really easy.
Thankfully my biopsy came back clean (phew). The incision on my neck was probably about an inch and a half, and a year later, I have only the tiniest of scars! You’d never notice it unless I pointed it out in bright light. I seem to scar pretty easily, so I’m still not totally sure how he managed to pull that off.
Thanks Dr. Fyfe!

Outstanding expertise, straight talk, good value, nice people. Dr. Fyfe lives up to the other reviews. He helps, doesn’t just sell procedures!
I saw him as a new patient three hours ago.

This guy is my favorite all time doctor. God I wish he were a GP so I could go to him for everything.
Im confident that he could tell me I had cancer and I would feel better about the diagnosis, just because of the way he phrased it and empathized with my situation.
In addition to his fantastic «human interfacing» skills, he appears to be amazing at the technical application of his job.
He is truly a rare find! If he was a GP i probably wouldn’t be writing this review because of the potential decrease in his availability.

I came down with a very, very painful ear infection that was getting progressively worse with each passing hour. Barely making it through the night I called the office as soon as they were open. I explained my situation and they made me an appointment for less than an hour from the time I’d called.
I went in and filled out some paperwork and then Dr. Nason saw me. He was brilliant and there’s really no way I could thank him enough for his help. He was friendly and attentive and very understanding. He gave me some care instructions and a prescription for a very reasonably priced antibiotic ear drop and I was on my way.
I called a couple of days later with concerns and he was very amiable about talking me through what my issues were. Less than 5 days later I was completely on the mend and feeling better.
I literally can’t recommend him enough. I hope to never see him again in a professional capacity as I hope to never go through an ear infection like that again, but if I do I will absolutely be going to see him.
If you read this Dr. Nason, Thank You!!!

Like other Unilocalers, I found Dr. Fyfe through Unilocal.I have seen Dr. Fyfe for several months now and each visit has been similar:
— Arrive early or on time and sign in
— Wait 20 — 30 minutes in the main lobby
— Wait another 20 — 30 minutes in the private room
— Spend 5 — 10 minutes with the Dr.
My last appointment was scheduled for 1:50pm. I arrived at the same time as a woman with her young boy. In the interest of full disclosure, I arrived at 1:55pm. I didn’t see this as a problem given that I normally arrive early and still have to wait at least 20 minutes before I’m seen. The woman approached the counter before me to sign in. While signing in, the main reception person let her know that she had come on the wrong day, but that she would try and squeeze her in. Ten minutes later, she’s called back and I’m sitting outside waiting. I guess I now know where she got squeezed in. After about 30 minutes, I was shown into the private room. I waited in the private room for another 30 minutes, after which, I simply left. The wait times are pretty typical. I’ve endured the delays two reasons: I’m desperate to figure out what is wrong with my throat and this seems to be the norm when dealing with doctors.
I understand that there is a level of variability in terms of time spent with each patient and that this ensures that each patient receives the appropriate amount of individual attention. Yet, when patients are regularly waiting close to or over an hour to be seen, there is some overly-​ambitious scheduling going on.
Given that I’ve seen this doctor for several months with no improvement in my condition and poor appointment practices, I will be looking for a different doctor.

I found Dr. Fyfe through Unilocal and because of the glowing reviews set up an appointment. I had trouble breathing through my nose and have had recurring headaches and illnesses, which I wasn’t sure if they were related but was hopeful he could tell me. He spent less than 5 minutes with me, which most of the time he spent criticizing the type of thyroid medicine my other doctor prescribed and not much on the reason I was there to see him. He ordered an CT scan which I went along with. On the follow up visit to discuss the results of the CT scan, I waited an hour in the lobby and when the 2^nd patient that had come in after me was shown back I decided I was through waiting. In Dr. Fyfe’s defense, he did leave a voice message on my phone later that day to apologize, but I was through and found another ENT.

I’ve known Dr. Fyfe for many years from when he was originally with Austin Ear Nose & Throat Clinic to setting up his own practice. He’s an excellent doctor who is knowledgeable, to the point and has very good instincts. He’s operated on me twice, once to repair a hole in my sinuses and a second time to remove a swollen lymph node and I see him whenever I am ill with something that appears to be cold/​flu symptoms.
He’s certainly not quick to recommend surgery or extra procedures but he also doesn’t hesitate to address what needs to be addressed and he’s very easy going but frank about what he believes to be the issue at hand. We’ve become friends over the years as our sons went to school together and I completely trust him and recommend him to anyone, just as I’ve trusted him with my mother and my kids.

I absolutely love Dr. Fyfe. I had a cyst in my thyroid that was 5 centimeters large… This was my first health problem and it sent me into a panic. Surgery was suggested by all of my doctors involved to make sure it was benign and because it was so large. Dr. Fyfe’s demeanor was very calming and comforting. It helped me to get through this stressful situation. The FNA he administered was painless. No bruising or soreness afterwards. There was also no pain in the thyroid area after the surgery. The incision was small and healed up quickly. Dr. Fyfe also called me right as he received my pathology results so that I wouldn’t worry any longer to let me know everything was benign. He is an excellent surgeon, his «hunches» are usually correct, his demeanor is calming and he takes the time to talk each patient through their concerns.
Even though this wasn’t the most pleasant thing that could’ve happened, Dr. Fyfe made it the best that it could be and I am glad we chose him for this surgery.

Dr. Fyfe doesn’t get all those «best doctor» awards for no reason. Went in to see him because I started getting some bad nosebleeds, one of which landed me in the ER (because it just wouldn’t stop!) Of course, right when I got to the ER it stopped. $ 300 later, I decided to find a ENT to help me cauterize my nose, so that mishap would never happen again. I found Dr. Fyfe on Unilocal,and went in for a check-​up. In and out very quickly! Very affordable. Dr. Fyfe even explained to me what was going on (which I always enjoy). Awesome Doctor!

I’m one of those people who hates doctors. I go into an appointment expecting the worst, and sadly those expectations are frequently met. Dr. Fyfe was great, though. My biggest problem with doctors is that they want to shuffle you out of there ASAP, speaking quickly and inching toward the door. Dr. Fyfe, however, was very casual, listened to my concerns, had a conversation with me about them. He even admitted that performing surgery to drain a cyst in one of my sinuses could make him a lot of money, but he thinks it’s unnecessary and urged me not to listen to anyone else who would tell me otherwise (unless it worsens, of course).
While he was getting the number for a referral, I mentioned how I feel about the cold, clinical nature of doctors at Austin Regional Clinic and blamed it on myself for never choosing a PCP. He then gave me referrals to a PCP and an allergy/​asthma specialist his family uses. Receiving trusted names from a doctor I now trust meant a lot.
I also had a hearing exam performed by Ms. Abeda Mueed. Another positive interaction. I haven’t had a hearing exam since elementary school, so I didn’t know what to expect. She explained things well and even gingerly repositioned my hair when placing equipment on me.
Thumbs up for the staff as well. The facility is also easily accessible with plenty of parking in back. All in all, I’m glad I chose Dr. Fyfe.

After two big hit or misses with picking doctors since moving to Austin, I have been on a roll for exactly the kind of doctor I want and need.
Dr. Fyfe is another win. Friendly, fast, to the point but still willing for a small bit of small talk. I love going here. It is a great office, friendly staff, and amazing nurses and doctor.
Also got to give a shout out for the sound tech. She had me really enjoying going through my hearing test!
