4th Generation Dr Mom LED Pocket Pro Otoscope - High Quality Aircraft Aluminum Construction

This otoscope is fantastic! I was a little dubious about buying this as the cheap otoscope I already have for home use isn't very good. I work as a nurse practitioner in a busy walk in centre. I see ear problems every day and bought this based on the reviews and the fact that the lens is glass as I got fed up with playing hunt the otoscope when I needed one.It has exceeded expectations. The light is lovely and bright and the glass lens gives a sharp, clear view of the ear canal and ear drum. It's actually better than one of the Keeler ones we have at work as the light is so much brighter. An excellent bit of kit at an excellent price! More than happy with my purchase!

I bought this as my 18 month old daughter keeps getting ear infections and the otoscope allows me to keep a check on her ear. It is a very good quality piece of kit and very easy to use. It comes with a variety of nozzle(?) sizes so it can be used on adults too and the hard case means everything can be kept together and neatly stored away. An excellent product I would highly recommend.

As a retired physician with 50 years of experience in examining patients' ears, I needed a replacement lightweight otoscope for use with family and friends. Previously, I've owned two Heine otoscope/ophthalmoscope sets and a Keeler Vista otoscope/ophthalmoscope set. I liked the Heine sets, but they eventually needed replacing after constant use. The Keeler Vista was fine, but it was quite heavy and you almost needed to take out a mortgage to buy replacement bulbs. I cannot speak highly enough concerning this Dr Mom otoscope. It is lightweight but has a quality feel to it and gives a superb view of the auditory canal and tympanic membrane. Also, it was excellent value for money so is fully deserving of a five-star review.

Does the job

The quality is undeniable and I am using it to check on a daily basis as I work as an ear wax microsuction specialist.

I cannot live without this anymore. It gives me instant peace of mind that I can look into my 5 year old’s ears safely (after reading the instructions) and it allows me to rule ear infections out or know the cause of her discomfort.I wish I could use it on myself to check the health of my own ears.But as a mother checking her child this is a must have.

This is such good value for money. Very reliable and long lasting.

Firstly so I don't normally do reviews but I wanted to write one for this otoscope as I'm impressed. I wanted one as my Dad has lots of issues with his ears and has hearing aids. Thank goodness we we this otoscope as my Dad started to get pain. I was clearly able to see the end of his hearing aid was stuck in his ear and I was able to get him to hospital quickly to get it removed. It's lightweight and the light is great. I would recommend buying it as it's great.

The product is well packaged. The case was sturdy and effective, easily portable. The note from the vendor was nice, homey touch. I did find the enclosed battery interesting, made in china and neither alkaline nor lithium. Interesting. The light is bright and easy to see. The additional pics of possible ear conditions, was very helpful. The note to remove the battery for storage was excellent, logical, but perhaps forgotten if not mentioned.Overall good product. The durability remains to be seen but appears well built to last.

This 4th generation Doctor Mom LED pocket pro otoscope is nice quality, well made, and the perfect replacement for my super old Welch Allyn otoscope that I got from my step-grandma who used to work as a doctor. I'm an RN-BSN who likes to have their own medical equipment at home since I have kids and a husband, so I like to know what's wrong with them whenever they get sick in order to know if they really have to go to the doctor or not (really helps cut down on medical bills). My old Welch Allyn otoscope light was so dim despite changing the battery that I couldn't see anything, nor could I figure out how to change the light bulb in it due to not knowing the model or serial number. This otoscope was a cheap alternative that's just as good. It's super easy to use, you just need to install the included battery and turn it on. It has a warm white light that's the perfect brightness and works great for looking inside ears, whereas some newer otoscope have the super bright white light that's not very good for viewing ears. I absolutely love that it came with a hard shell storage box to keep the otoscope and specula's safe and contained. The otoscope feels comfortable in my hand and I'm able to look inside my kids ears with ease. The included ear chart is super helpful as well. Overall, I'm happy with this product and feel like it's worth the money based on the quality.

I’m writing this review after a long period of using this otoscope at home. I bought it when my son was under two years old, and he is now almost three, so it has gotten plenty of use. As a healthcare professional, I find this to be an incredibly useful tool to keep in the house. Even if you don’t have a medical background, it comes with great reference pictures, and you can easily search online for tips on how to use it.The different attachments are very handy, and the device provides a crystal-clear view of the tympanic membrane (eardrum), making it easy to spot any changes caused by sickness. Hands down, this is one of the best things I’ve purchased. I would highly recommend it to any new parent who is left wondering what’s going on when a fever hits or their kid complains of an earache. Of course, the next step is always to see a pediatrician, but it is incredibly reassuring to be able to take a look yourself first.

Overall, I think this is a great pocket otoscope. I am an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor, so I have a lot to compare it to. My everyday comparison is to the Welch Allyn otoscopes with LED bulbs at my office. I bought this to replace a 15+ year old Welch Allyn with a rechargeable handle that I used at home or kept in my white coat for hospital consults. The battery no longer held a charge for more than 5 minutes and I wanted something smaller, lighter, and that used standard batteries. This fit the bill and I am overall quite pleased. I've listed the individual pros and cons below:View - Overall, it is pretty good, but not perfect. You can barely see the light protruding at the inferior aspect of the field of view. Magnification also doesn't seem as good. However, this is a portable otoscope, so I know that concessions had to be made. I'd still rather carry this around than a larger, heavier standard size scope.Bulb color - To those who say the light on this scope is "blue", I disagree. It noticeably more yellow than the cool white of the Welch Allyn LED bulbs. In fact, it is pretty close to the color of standard bulbs. Personally, I think the cooler white (more blue) is better at distinguishing findings on eardrums than yellow or incandescent, but we all have our own preferences. I just wanted to give my opinion on how the color compares to other scopes/bulbs.Brightness - The bulb is plenty bright for everyday use. I think our Welch Allyn LED bulbs are brighter, but this is brighter than the Welch Allyn standard bulbs. The brightness is not adjustable on this scope, but then again, I have never used an otoscope on anything less than full power.Size/weight - I think this is an ideal size for a portable or home scope. The next size up "Dr. Mom" scope, which is comparable in size to a Welch Allyn, uses 2 C batteries and this uses a single A, so I think everybody knows the difference.Professional look - This matters to me since I will occasionally use it on patients outside my office. The "Dr. Mom" inscription on the pocket clip was a non-starter. The good news is that you can remove the pocket clip, which I promptly did. Now it just looks like a small metal otoscope. I had no intention of using the pocket clip anyway.Basically, this is a good, reasonably priced product with a few minor drawbacks but exactly as advertised. My only real beef is the Dr. Mom brand name, which I find somewhat offensive. Just like both men and women can be real doctors, both mothers and fathers can have home duties and care for children. As someone who has experienced gender bias in family courts with a real impact on my role as a father, I think this type of branding needs to go. It perpetuates stereotypes from a previous era. Surely the company can find a gender neutral name or, at a minimum, sell "Dr. Dad" scopes along with Dr. Mom.

Exactly what I needed for an at home otoscope. With having kids, they always seem to have problems with their ears. One has tubes and I was always curious if they have fallen out. With the ability to use this at home, I dont have to go to the doctor every time to check my kids ears. You have 2 different size options for the tip where the light shines through giving two seperate perspectives of the ear canal.Very easy to use and the case it comes with is a bonus!Highly recommend this piece over the others on amazon. It was affordable and perfect for what I needed!
