Product Description

This is an excellent otoscope that functions really well. We sell very nice Professional otoscopes on Amazon and none have anything on this fellow. Same magnification and focal length as the W/A so what you see is just as clear if not clearer due to the very bright led light. LED's contains no fragile filament like incandescent bulbs. We tried making this bulb go out and could not do it. This included dropping the otoscope from a second story window onto the ground. It lit right up brighter than ever. Bottom line: If you are looking for an otoscope for home use you will not find a better value anywhere. Includes 3 sizes of specula for Adult, Child and Infant. Very nice size and packs easily in a mom's purse or overnight bag for travel. Do not leave home without it. Please take our word, we have been selling otoscopes on Amazon for over 5 years......There is no better value anywhere when it comes to an otoscope. Why we love this otoscope: 1. Works well with Disposable Specula. 2. The LED light source contains no fragile filament and is impervious to shock or trauma. 3. No hunting all over for bulbs for an off brand otoscope you bought several years before from a fly by night seller. If you don't find a matching bulb your otoscope is useless from that point on. 4. No price gouging to buy a bulb from the large well known brand that will cost more than this entire otoscope. A bulb that will need replaced on a regular basis and even sooner if the otoscope is ever dropped or handled rough in any way. 5. Same magnification and focal length as the Welch Allyn so what you see is just as clear if not clearer due to the very bright led light 6, Very informative weblink with high resolution photos of both normal and diseased eardrums and detailed use instructions written by an ER Physician. Be sure to see over 10,000 reviews on eBay with 99.9% being positive.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for 25 bucks, but NOT a Welch Allyn February 25, 2007
My wife (who is a RN) and I bought this guy to save an occasional trip to the Dr's office. After trying it out for a couple of days, we find that it is an OK product.

However, I feel compelled to write a review, because in our evaluation of this product before we bought it, we kept reading reviews on how this little guy is just the best thing since sliced bread and some people made claims that this unit is just as good as a $200 Welch Allyn otoscope. Hands down, this unit doesn't hold a candle to a Welch Allyn otoscope, and any nurse or doc who claims this unit can serve as a WA replacement unit with equal or greater performance, is out of their mind, IMHO. It's like comparing a black and decker entry level cordless drill to a top of the line Dewalt.

For $25 dollars and occasional use, this unit is perfect, and that is how the product is marketed. If it can give you a little assurance and save you even one trip to the doc, it's paid for itself. And I imagine most purchasers of this unit will use it half a dozen times over the next 10 years. Why go drop $200 to do this if $25 will suffice?

But a Welch Allyn it is not. The unit feels flimsy, I highly doubt it would survive any rough use or even a moderate drop. Image quality is adequate, but inferior to the WA image quality. My wife made this statement immediately after using the scope, and even after I used it, I could see the difference too (and I'm not even a trained professional).

The light intensity is less than a WA, but I'm not sure if that is because this unit uses an LED instead of an incandescent bulb.

Bottom line:
As an occasional-use otoscope for the casual user, this unit should make you very happy.

1.0 out of 5 stars poor design October 1, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a licensed nurse, and own a licensed daycare. I usually keep an otoscope on hand to help with early intervention of ear infections. When my medical grade scope's light burnt out, I had trouble finding a replacement bulb. Dr. Mom was much cheaper than the Prestige otoscopes I used to use, so I thought I would give it a try.

The tips just fall off, making this thing worthless as a scope. I ended up turning right around an purchasing a Prestige instead.

Update 2013:
I got a note from the company about the above review. They blame the customer for jamming the otoscope into the ear improperly. As a nurse for the past 20 years, I know how to properly position an otoscope. The company seems more concerned with getting more stars than evaluating the issues consumers have experienced while using their product. The company stated I am the only reviewer that has ever had a problem with loose specula. However, I read through ALL OF THE 1, 2 and 3 star reviews on Amazon, and found that several people reported the same issue. Additionally, MANY people report poor visualization, which I also agree with. As I mentioned in the original review, I purchased a Prestige scope- and it works great. I have owned several Prestige scopes over the years and been happy with each and every one. I lost one or two, and had a couple where the bulbs burnt out after several years of use, which is the only reasons I have had to buy replacements. I have good visualization and the tips NEVER come off. So Dr. Mom's, I know you may not like my review, but it is an honest one. And it does come from an experienced medical professional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr Mom LED Pocket Otoscope March 19, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase
I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it highly to anyone. I had bought a cheaper version at CVS for $10 but it broke twice and I just gave up on it. I went searching the web and came across this item with a lifetime guarantee and was sold. Once I received it and used it, i was even more impressed. The light is fantastic and I was able to see into my toddlers ears with no problems. If you have small kids that get a lot of ear infections or a lot of wax build up, you need to get this item.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well for home use February 20, 2007
This is a nice otoscope for home use. It comes with 3 different size tips which is nice. It also has a very illuminating LED light. It's tough for me to see into the ear of my 1 yr old because she squirms but this otoscope helps a bit because the viewing area is a good size.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST OTOSCOPE EVER! September 6, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase
This product arrived promptly and is so much better than I had anticipated. I used to have a big heavy one that was quite expensive and heavy as well. It stopped working; I didn't know where to have it repaired...then looking on the internet I saw this Dr Mom instrument with the lifetime guarantee. We have used it a lot and recommend it highly!

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, Simple, Great Value July 26, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this since my daughter seems to be prone to ear infections. I find that the light is nice and bright. It's LED-based so that should lead to much longer battery life. It's very solid and comfortable to hold. And the included instruction sheet has some nice pictures of different types of ear drums to help you figure out what you are looking at. (Although, Wikipedia also has some great information to read on the topic.) My only complaint is that the outer edge of the plastic tips can cause some pain when inserted. The edges need to be more rounded to prevent that from happening.
