Trying to find a good Dr in my area

I went to one ENT who is willing to take out my tonsils due to chronic tonsil stones, but I just didn't feel comfortable with him. He didn't explain much and seemed to be in a hurry. I've noticed that some of you are from my area MI. If you know of good ENT Dr, please let me know. Thanks
