I brought my 4-year-old son in after weeks of him tugging his ear and sleepless nights. Dr. Ulubil was incredible with children—he used a small otoscope shaped like a cartoon animal to examine him without any fear. He diagnosed a stubborn middle ear effusion that others had missed. His gentle explanation to my son about 'checking for tiny swimmers in the ear canal' was genius. We avoided unnecessary antibiotics with his watchful waiting approach, and the fluid cleared with simple nasal sprays he recommended. A pediatric ENT with true patience.
As a 72-year-old with sudden, violent vertigo that sent me to the ER at 2 AM, I was terrified I was having a stroke. Dr. Ulubil was called in and conducted a series of precise positional tests right there in the emergency room. He calmly diagnosed it as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). Instead of just sending me home with pills, he performed the Epley maneuver on the gurney. The world stopped spinning within minutes. His ability to diagnose and treat in a high-pressure emergency setting with such clarity was nothing short of remarkable.
My case was complex: a revision endoscopic sinus surgery after a previous operation elsewhere had failed and left me with chronic pain and recurrent infections. Dr. Ulubil spent an hour reviewing my old CT scans, drawing detailed diagrams of my anatomy, and explaining the risks of scar tissue and altered landmarks. The surgery itself was longer than planned, but he navigated the challenging terrain meticulously. At my 6-week follow-up, my sense of smell returned for the first time in years. This wasn't just a procedure; it was a restoration, handled with the skill of a master craftsman.
What I thought would be a routine checkup for occasional hoarseness turned into a life-saving intervention. During the laryngoscopy, Dr. Ulubil's demeanor shifted from casual to focused. He discovered a subtle, precancerous lesion on my vocal cord that was completely asymptomatic to me. His tone was serious but not alarming. He coordinated immediately with the oncology team and performed a micro-laryngeal surgery the following week. The precision was astounding—he removed the lesion while perfectly preserving my voice. This wasn't a doctor just treating a symptom; he was a detective who found the hidden problem I didn't know I had.
