Run to find another doctor. He's not good and ruined my hearing. I had a deviated septum corrected and caused numerous problems after the surgery. read more

Dr Magardino was referred to me by my allergist , my nose was always stuffed up. He was very helpful, told me I had a 90% deviated septum and said Septoplasty and turbinate reduction would fix things up. I asked him if this was a nose job and would this change my nose ? He said No and my nose would be the same . The septoplasty was a great success and I could and still can breathe perfectly but within a month two new issues came up One, my nose was running watery all day where anyone around me would ask if I was sick Two my nose shape was very different It had a flat and piggish look I went in to talk to him about it and he said it was fine and still healing but 6 months later the problem was still there I went to a plastic surgeon , she didn't want to get involved and said maybe too much carteledge was removed and to go see another ENT I went to my allergist about the runny nose and he gave another nasal spray but now once again I'm using a nasal spray I went back to see Dr Magardino this week and boy was he not happy with me! He was annoyed, defensive and beyond rude. He said nothing he did would cause my issues and my nose was fine, but in looking these problems up they are a direct result if during the septoplasty too much carteledge was removed from the tip of the nose it would result in a " Piggy nose" and if the tutbinates were reduced too much the result is a runny nose He told me " any one can get a runny nose" and I could get fillers in my nose and to see a plastic surgeon He also added as the end slap in my face "What do you want , you're 75 years old" Yes he did ! I excused myself and he left the room before me very angry that I challenged him So there you have it ! read more

Terrible experience. Doc is annoyed by questions, does not educate patient or look for a root cause. Spent 8 minutes with me, avoids answering any questions, and throws prescriptions at you. Then charges for the whole visit before submitting to insurance and sells it as it all goes towards my deductible. I am a paying customer and get treated in a condescending manner like I am an uneducated annoyance. I have degrees and social skills. Nothing positive came out of my experience. read more

Insurance scammer! I went to see Mr. Magardino in early December. He came into the room, looked at the one sentence the receptionist had written down, and told me without even looking at me yet that he knew what was wrong. When I started explaining what was actually going on with me (because the receptionist had written down the wrong information), he started to yell at me. "Why are you here? I'm not going to fix this just breathe through your mouth" I tried to explain further, to which he just yelled louder. Then, to prove to me that I was wrong, he said he would look down my nose. He couldn't get the otoscope attachment in more than 1/4 of the way, so I told him it was painful, so he rolled his eyes, left the room, and brought back an endoscope. I told him that my nose was swollen shut and that he wouldn't be able to get it in due to the swelling, and I told him I didn't want it done. He looked at me and said, "I'm the doctor; I went to school for this, not you." Well, this next news is shocking, I know. He couldn't get that in either, and it was very painful! He continued to yell at me about how I should just breathe through my mouth since I can't breathe through my nose and that he's not going to fix my nose because it's not a problem. Mind you, my nose is swollen shut, therefore I can't breathe through it, and many other doctors have said that an ENT would be able to fix it. I have been diagnosed multiple times for the same thing, and he refused to look at previous medical notes. The appointment was for 3-4 minutes maximum. I went up to the front to pay in tears. The receptionist said she charged my insurance, but I still owed $300+ for the appointment. I then spoke to the office manager, and she said she would call me back and that I wouldn't have to pay until the issue was resolved. I never received a call back. But I did call my insurance, and shockingly, they never received a bill from this office. They informed me that this was normal for doctors who don't want the insurance companies to come after them for falsifying charges, not providing proper care, etc. My insurance company gave me a case number, and they're contacting their fraud department. A few weeks passed, and a charge for the amount they said I still owed showed up on my card. If getting the worst care possible from a chauvinistic waste of time scammer is your thing, this is the place for you! If you want to get charged for a procedure you didn't agree to or receive, this is the place for you! If you enjoy being yelled at, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! If you want decent, above-board care, go anywhere but here. read more

I have been seeing Dr Margardino for about 4 years. I find him to be very thorough, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. All my appointments have been excellent and the charges for his service In line with any other office. He ordered tests that were appropriate for me and he did a partial thyroidectomy in April 2023. All of my encounters with him have been favorable. His office staff has also been very pleasant and accommodating. my granddaughter was visiting on vacation and developed an ear problem. They got her in right away. Highly recommend Dr Margardino and his staff. read more

I was sadly disappointed after my visit with Dr. Magardino. After seeking help from several family practitioners, general medical doctors, and certified nurse practitioners I thought I would go to a sinus specialist for some resolution to a lifelong headache problem. Believe it or not, I was told by Dr. Magardino, "you do know I am a sinus surgeon, right?" His bedside manner was a 1/10. I have been seeking help for headaches and facial pressure for about 20 years and continue to be misdiagnosed. Nothing has helped so I thought a specialist with the sinuses was a good next step. In less than one minute he told me "this is not a sinus problem!" He didn't even ask very many questions, he simply said, and I quote, "why are you here?" I experience extremely intense Eye, forehead, facial, and ear pressure about once a week with severe headaches that last 24 to 48 hours. He said I could schedule a CT scan but he didn't think it was necessary. He told me to go somewhere else! Unbelievable; zero compassion and frankly, rude! BTW- it cost me $405. read more
