4th Generation Doctor Mom LED Pocket Pro Otoscope with Both Adult and Pediatric Disposable Specula Tips, Battery, and Protective Hard Plastic Case

This otoscope is a fantastic tool for parents and caregivers. Its sturdy aluminum construction feels durable, and the compact design makes it easy to handle. The clear 4X magnification lens and soft white LED light provide excellent visibility, making ear examinations straightforward. The inclusion of both adult and pediatric disposable specula tips adds versatility. It’s a reliable device that offers peace of mind for at-home ear checks.

What can I say? I bought this 5 years ago, 2 months pre-pandemic. I have chronic wax issues with my ears and my doctor had recommended getting an otoscope so I could just have them checked at home and flushed (my husband could do it, he was shown how). It's been used often and battery has obviously been changed, but not once has it faltered in any way. I needed to order more tips and came here to look it up to make sure I was getting the correct ones when I noticed the date of purchase. I figured, after 5 years of owning and using this otoscope, a review was warranted!So, if you want a simple, inexpensive otoscope that works well, is easy to use, and lasts, this one fits the bill. It's lightweight, has a nice grip for what needs to be done, easy to clean and maintain.

My son with autism would put little pebbles or beads in his ear SOOOOO I became really good at looking in his ears. This has been a LIFESAVER to safely look inside his ears and is of very good quality. It is easy to use, the box keeps it safe, and the light is nice. Not a bright white like most LED lighting and it looks more natural. The cover even has a quick reference of what you may see inside the ear drum. It has been a very useful device and plan to use it as needed.

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.

Aside from it coming within 24 hours this otoscope is the best. I originally bought this in 2017 and I was traveling with it and I didn’t have a case for it and it broke in my suitcase. I couldn’t remember which one I had already bought so I bought a different kind that was actually more money. The second otoscope didn’t magnify as well as my original otoscope and the light wasn’t bright enough. It also took 3C batteries and the Dr. Mom not only magnifies larger and is brighter and clearer, but it takes only 1 AA battery. So I returned the other one and began my search and realized I had bought the Dr. Mom originally so I re-ordered and this otoscope is the best. I had originally bought the best one and have no need to look any further. Dr Mom is the best. I have no stock in this and rarely right reviews but felt the need as a Mom to reach others that this otoscope is the best!!!

Very nice scope easy to use comes in a nice case even has pictures on the case to compare and lots of different size scopes Great paperwork with it
