Dr. Luxford was born, raised, educated and still living and working within a 40-mile radius of downtown Los Angeles. His father, a chiropractor, and mother, who developed bilateral severe/profound hearing loss at an early age led him to medicine and the field of otolaryngology.

After working with House group physicians during his residency, Dr. Luxford decided to complete a fellowship in neurotology at House Clinic and Institute. He joined the group shortly thereafter, helping Dr. William House expand his cochlear implant research as a treatment for deafness in adults and children. Over the years. Dr. Luxford has had the opportunity to provide care for adults and children with a variety of problems related to hearing or balance. One of his great pleasures is seeing patients he carried into the operating room as infants to return to see him as university graduates.

Patient Reviews

November 13, 2024
Dr. was very sweet and witty, explained everything so I could understand my options I really enjoyed this doctor!
November 13, 2024
I'm very thankful for the service and immediate attention they were able to provide to me and the customer service was great.
November 07, 2024
House Clinic is the best!
November 05, 2024
House Clinic, their physicians, and their service of restoring hearing to us who cannot hear otherwise is not just another PIH doctor's office. They are unique, specialized, and perform miracles for us. Don't ever absorb them into the blob of general medical care. Treat them with special consideration for the great job they do. Let it be known by their well-known name "House Clinic", not PIH Health. I regret that they got taken over by a huge medical enterprise, but you can allow them to keep their pristine image, and even burnish it also.

Friendly and professional. On time. Didn't feel rushed.

Great

Dr. Luxford is a great doctor. I always enjoy my visits with him. He's also a great surgeon.
October 24, 2024
Doctor Luxford is a 5 star doctor. You are lucky to have such a professional.
October 23, 2024
Dr. Luxford is a great doctor. He always listens to your concerns. He's very thoughtful. He speaks clearly to you where you can understand him. And he's highly recommended. Very good person.
October 23, 2024
Excellent service. everything was explained very well and I knew exactly what steps to take going forward.
October 23, 2024
A small country girl in a scary big city, Dr Luxford went above and beyond for me! I'm so thankful for him he was able to give me my hearing back in my left ear
October 22, 2024
I feel like I am in the best of care. I am confident that my dr will find a solution to my problem.
October 22, 2024
Dr. Luxford is Sympathetic and caring. I hope he never retires.
October 17, 2024
I would just like to say that the service and care that I got from Dr. Luxford and his staff was excellent and he was very helpful. He brought my husband in to show him how to do a maneuver and he was very kind to have my three-year-old grandson in the room too. So I appreciate all the help he gave. Thank you.

Pleasant
October 16, 2024
I have already recommended Dr. Luxford and the House Clinic to others.
October 16, 2024
Phone calls made and left voice message to set up an appointment were ignored and never answered. When finally got through to the office, the time for the appointment verbally given did not match the phone message reminding of an appointment. Since the office does not respond to calls or voicemail I felt callling to confirm the appoint was a waste of my time. When leaving the appointment and tired to make an appointment for the next visit in 6 mos. was not possible. I can make appoints with all the doctors that I have in the Burbank area. In fact, I can make appointments online. Having a hearing problem this makes my life so much easier. I feel there needs to be much improvement with reaching the office for appointments and returning voice messages.
October 01, 2024
How kind and competent he is!!
September 26, 2024
Dr Luxford is the best
September 25, 2024
I am very grateful to Dr. Luxford for everything he did for me and I'm looking forward to seeing him in six months
September 25, 2024
Outstanding experience.
September 18, 2024
Everything was wonderful.
September 18, 2024
Everything was great like always
September 17, 2024
Excellent!
September 17, 2024
Dr. Luxford is an amazing physician. He is kind, he listens, and he's just so smart. And he is the master of ear surgeries.
September 12, 2024
The service was extremely good with Dr. Luxford. He was very reassuring. He does a great job. He's very competent. He gave me some tremendous suggestions about how to try to maintain my ear health and he gave me some really good pointers relative to that. I really like the man very much and I'm going to be a patient of his probably the rest of my life because he does a tremendous service for me without very much pain and without any difficulty and his staff was very good as well. I really enjoyed him. Thank you very much.
September 11, 2024
The experience with Dr. Luxford was very, very good. However, that said, the telephone experience in making the appointment and in getting there and trying to deal with getting started, no one was helpful and it was very difficult to try and get through to figure out where I was supposed to go and what I was supposed to do. Thank you.
September 11, 2024
I was very happy with my visit just very difficult to find a place but other than that it was a great experience
September 09, 2024
I Had my hearing tested and the follow up meeting with the surgeon who did my initial cochlear implant Both times, all my concerns and questions were listened to carefully And addressed. I had enough information and feedback to make informed decisions.
September 09, 2024
Dr Luxford is excellent and I'm always very appreciative of his knowledge and expertise. He also has a nice sense of humor, which helps a lot. Also the camera and screens that show his meticulous work help immensely in calming my fear of what he's doing to my ear. Many thanks Dr Luxford!
September 05, 2024
A perfect visit well explained. I wish every dr was as good as this.
September 04, 2024
The appointment was hard to make since they required two more authorization codes. I had infection in my ear but by the time I got the authorization they required, two weeks had been passed by. If they can somehow make it easier and quicker to make an appointment, there would not be anything more for improvements. Dr Luxford is a awesome doctor who explained everything I needed to know.
September 04, 2024
I would give a positive review of the doctor that I saw.
September 03, 2024
Very nice doctor and makes things easy to understand.
September 03, 2024
Dr Luxford and the staff were great. Saw me on time and had me in and out of there in no time. Great experience. I've already referred Dr Luxford to a friend of mine and will continue to refer to him.
September 03, 2024
Overall experience was good. Dr. was knowledgeable. However, when he came to take me to the office he didn't even greet me or say "hello". Besides for that he was fine.
August 28, 2024
Outstanding
August 28, 2024
Couldn't have been better!
August 28, 2024
Outstanding staff and doctor. The audiologist was excellent too. Timely, professional, courteous. I chose the right doctor!
August 26, 2024
Thanks for being available
August 21, 2024
The doctor would not answer any of our questions, leaves us with unanswered questions, has not given us a prognosis or any reasonable kind of action plan to get any kind of health care. We are left very uncomfortable. We don't know what kind of care we're getting. We don't know what our situation is after the surgery, and I don't know where to move forward with my treatment. I am very dissatisfied with the doctor, his staff, and the unprofessionalism of the entire PIH Health Network.
August 20, 2024
I just want to say that Dr. Luxford is the best, the best ear doctor for me. I trust him very much. I cannot trust anybody but him. When I have a problem, I always speak to him. And thank you very much. I want to thank him very, very much for excellent, excellent care.
August 20, 2024
The provider needs to give me a written prescription and notify my pharmacy.
August 20, 2024
Such a personable staff.
August 15, 2024
Great experience. Great Dr!
August 15, 2024
Dr Luxford has become a good friend as well as an outstanding doctor. He has a wonderful bedside manner.
August 14, 2024
Fastest and most efficient doctor's visit I ever encountered.
August 14, 2024
I'm so happy I came to see the doctor. I really appreciate it for everything. And he's very good and all the staff is perfect. Thank you very much and God bless you guys.
August 14, 2024
Pleased with everything
August 14, 2024
Dr. Luxford and his staff have always been courteous and kind over the years, hoping for many more.
August 13, 2024
This clinic has always been top of the line. The staff is really nice and Dr. Luxford is the greatest--the only ear doctor who was able to fix my problem!
August 13, 2024
The doctor was on time and quickly analyzed the situation and did clean the ears immediately
August 12, 2024
The first question, I accidentally put a two instead of a four for yes, I was able to get an appointment as soon as I needed it. I just wanted to clarify that because I pushed the button before the response choices were given. I'm very happy. Thank you.
August 12, 2024
I thought Dr. Luxford and all the staff at PIH were amazing. I tried to press four, but it accidentally pressed two. So like basically four I meant for all the prompts. But he was great. He did an amazing job. I could hear again. It's like a miracle. I would definitely highly recommend Friends and Family. So thank you, Dr. Luxford.
August 12, 2024
Please make it easier to make an appointment or reach staff instead of the automated robot looping the phone call back to not getting to the appropriate department.
August 08, 2024
The doctor was excellent and explained everything to me. I will definitely recommend it and I will go back. Thank you.
August 07, 2024
Fast and easy and Provider is very professional.
August 07, 2024
Had a good experience with everyone there. Thank you
August 07, 2024
Your website has not been updated. I drove to the address I found online, and parked, only to discover the office was a block and a half away - thankfully on the same street. The office staff said that they and the doctors have requested the website be updated - to no avail. Please update the website, and include clear. accurate directions. Thank you!!!
August 06, 2024
He was an excellent doctor, explained everything to me step by step.
August 01, 2024
The ladies in reception were not as welcoming and helpful as the professionals. All the professionals were polite, helpful and informative
July 31, 2024
Dr. Luxford is great, but I got a call four or five times for the survey, which I think is a little bit excessive. Thank you.
July 31, 2024
Everything is fine.
July 31, 2024
Great doctor, great office. Thank you so much for everything.
July 31, 2024
Dr Luxford is the best
July 29, 2024
Dr. Rodríguez, in his excellent doctor of June, always answers my questions very well. For me, he is one of the best doctors. I feel good, but for me in the year models, thank you.
July 29, 2024
Dr.William Luxford is a very competent and caring doctor. There was a long wait time to have access to the doctor.
July 29, 2024
Great practice. Unfortunately, the neighborhood makes me uncomfortable.
July 25, 2024
Dr. Luxford is a fantastic physician!
July 24, 2024
I was seen in a lightly fast step. I was attended to and respected very well, was spoken to in a language where I understood, and I would highly recommend Ear Institute for someone else having problems.
July 24, 2024
He is a experienced and compassionate Physician.
July 24, 2024
The doctor is friendly and kind.
July 23, 2024
Dr, Luxford is wonderful!
July 23, 2024
Dr. Luxford is highly capable and competent. I wish he would be available at the Orange office more frequently than once every week.
July 22, 2024
Everyone was kind & helpful. I never felt rushed.
July 18, 2024
Very knowledgeable, clear and considerate.
July 17, 2024
Dr. Luxford is a fantastic physician, and the results of my surgery over 15 years ago are excellent. He provides outstanding follow up care for the continued health of my hearing. I have recommended him and will continue to do so.
July 17, 2024
I am thankful for the care I have received from Dr Luxford for many years
July 16, 2024
I've seen Dr. Luxford twice. He has actually performed surgery on both of my ears. Each time I was extremely happy with him. I would definitely recommend him to anybody. His office staff is first-rate and professional. And I can't say enough good things about Dr. Luxford. Everything about him is great. And I would, like I say, thoroughly recommend him to anybody. Thank you.
July 16, 2024
I had amazing experience with Dr. and his staff. They were wonderful, kind, courteous, sincere, treated me with respect. I couldn't ask any more from them. They were wonderful. And I thank you for asking me to do a survey.
July 11, 2024
I arrived 315 for my 330 hearing test and was seen within 10 minutes. The audiologist said there was wax in one ear that would invalidate the test so I walked to the House office and Dr. Luxford saw me in 5 minutes to remove the wax! Had the hearing test and went back to Dr. Luxford. A very positive experience.
July 11, 2024
I honestly had the best experience ever and meeting with Dr WILLIAM LUXFORD was an absolute honor as well as the audio technician of whom I forget her name. My appointment was yesterday July 11. She was an absolute gem to deal with.
July 10, 2024
Great!
July 08, 2024
The wait time for my appointment was far too long, about an hour.
July 03, 2024
My doctor, Dr. (name removed), was in surgery and couldn't see me when I needed. Dr. Luxford not only was able to fit me into his busy schedule but stayed into his lunch to help me be seen in a more timely manner. He was very professional and helped when I needed him.
July 02, 2024
Dr. Luxford is a great blessing in my life. I have Meniere's disease, and it's a difficult one. And he's always there to help me, and he has helped me a lot, so I don't struggle as much as I did before I had him. So, yes, I would recommend him to anybody who deals with Meniere's or vertigo, either one. Thank you for asking.
July 01, 2024
This physician is amazing. We went to him before and he's even more amazing than he was before. He is kind and patient and he goes the extra mile for his patients and he treats you with respect. We were just so lucky to have him see us. Thank you. Bye-bye.
June 27, 2024
Everything about Dr. Luxford was excellent.
June 26, 2024
Thank you.
June 25, 2024
Dr was professional.
June 25, 2024
Dr Luxford and staff are the best.
June 25, 2024
Dr. Luxford is the absolute best! I am so grateful to have him as my doctor.
June 24, 2024
We were thrilled with Dr. Luxford's care of my son. He's very compassionate. He knows how to talk to children. He's an excellent doctor. He's very thorough in his explanations. I would recommend him highly to anybody.
June 24, 2024
The woman who did the hearing test was very kind and patient. The doctor was also kind, patient, spoke directly to my father and he understood what the doctor said. A very good appointment and would recommend House Hearing!
June 12, 2024
Great office, fast service, clean
June 12, 2024
I'm grateful for the professionalism I receive from House Hearing. After being told I needed "tubes in my ears" from a local ENT, I made an appointment with House Hearing. Your Doctor's are "first class", know what they're doing and I feel, treat their patients with dignity and respect! Thank you!
June 11, 2024
I don't think there was enough attention paid to one of my main complaints. Which resulted in me getting an ear infection. I had to call the office and speak to a different doctor about my symptoms. This is poor practice and should have been handled differently.
June 11, 2024
Dr. Luxford is a very caring and excellent physician that we've been going to for several years, both my wife and I, and we think he is a terrific, dear doctor. I've recommended him to a number of people. He's great.
June 11, 2024
Dr. Luxford is terrific. Super professional and friendly. He takes great care of me
June 06, 2024
I am waiting for a response regarding my next appointment with Dr. Luxford.
June 06, 2024
Dr. Luxford was very patient with me and my husband and answered all our questions. He was very professional, interested in why I was there and what I had to say and provided excellent advice and written information. I was able to get an appointment on very short notice (one day ahead request). Dr. Luxford was genuinely glad to see me on this short notice. His assistant was extremely nice and helpful as well. The office staff was very helpful, polite and friendly. Also, when I called on Wednesday to get an appointment on Thursday or Friday because I was leaving on a long trip, the individual helping me was gracious and made every effort to get me in. I very much appreciate the excellent care I received from everyone involved in my care.
June 05, 2024
Are you really not able to validate? I get it's expensive, but if you even validated one hour @ $3 it would go a LONG way to building goodwill
June 04, 2024
My experience was excellent when I went to see Dr. Luxford. There was a homeless person down close to the door and I indicated I was a little nervous about going down, and Dr. Luxford walked me all the way to my car, down the elevator and out to my car. I think that's very, very, very above and beyond. His office staff was excellent. They came out and sat with me when I was doing some paperwork and very helpful making my appointment.
June 04, 2024
He was confident , precise, efficient and congenial. Excellent doctor. The office staff was also outstanding.....
June 04, 2024
Dr luxford performed my surgery in 06 he is a kind, sincere, caring individual. The office staff is always professional friendly and very helpful! I travel from Las Vegas to see him because he is so thorough in his examination , always informs me exactly what's going on and is extremely caring. Doctors like him are hard to find ....actually they don't exist anymore most of them are in embarrassment to the profession....as more Medical offices are being taken over by large companies the professionalism and the caring aspect has totally disappeared. It's all about making money not helping people.....: A sad commentary for people who go into the profession wanting to care for others and they are inhibited by doing so by the processes and procedures of large companies only out to make money!!!!
June 04, 2024
Dr. Luxford is Amazing!
May 30, 2024
Waited over an hour to see Dr. Luxford. He spent about 7 minutes with me, was uninterested in the connection of my symptoms to Covid, and dismissively handed me a pamphlet. I purposely chose to go to a specialist outside my network because I thought he would go more in depth about things, or at least care. This was a colossal waste of time and money.
May 30, 2024
Waiting for an hour and a half in the waiting room and another half hour in an examining room is beyond belief. Whoever does the scheduling for Dr. Luxford has to understand that this is unacceptable. Being a doctor myself I understand that you need to spend more time with some patients. My visit only took 15 minutes with the doctor but waiting for 2 hours for the very valuable 15 minutes is very difficult for a 100 year old man.
May 28, 2024
Dr. Luxford and staff are excellent, professional, communicative, and made me feel very comfortable with both my diagnosis and my care.
May 23, 2024
As always Dr. Luxford provided care and advice in a thorough manner. I continue. to make the long track to your office for his excellent care.
May 22, 2024
I felt dismissed by this provider. He had already decided that he could not or would not be able to help me before I entered the clinic. I am extremely disappointed as this company came highly recommended that they would be able to deal with my healthcare concern. It was a waste of my time and money.
May 22, 2024
Dr. Luxford is absolutely one the best doctors I have ever had, but most importantly the kindest. If all people were like him the world would be a much better place.
May 22, 2024
Perhaps more detail on the results from tests at the level a lay person can readily relate to.
May 16, 2024
Dr. Luxford is fantastic. I would only go to him.
