I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Aliphas at his Newton-Wellesley hospital office a few times…read morerelated to chronic nasal congestion and difficulty breathing and was consistently impressed by his competence and professionalism. At my first visit, Dr. Aliphas referenced an older cat scan I had back in 2013(!) showing my septum was slightly deviated, but he pointed out that if I had been fine for so many years, there could be another underlying cause to the congestion. He quickly formulated a course of action to help determine the cause of my congestion using a systematic approach in an attempt to rule out certain potential causes first. He ordered an allergy test which came back negative, prescribed a special ointment in case I had a chronic infection, and suggested using nasal rinses to flush out the congestion. I appreciated his tendency to suggest less-invasive tasks first, and save the most invasive (surgery) for last. After ruling out allergies or an infection, we were able to conclude that the deviated septum was likely the main cause of my chronic nasal congestion. Dr. Aliphas explained to me the risks and potential benefits of receiving a septoplasty with turbinate reduction, but noted that if the nasal rinses were offering me enough relief, the surgery may not be totally necessary. Dr. Aliphas also was careful not to guarantee any surgical outcome, given the nature of this type of procedure, which I really appreciated. After thinking it over (ironically I had plenty of time due to COVID-19), I opted for the surgery and had it performed a week ago. Earlier today, he removed my nasal splints (which was painless and took maybe 5 minutes) and I can breathe clearly for the first time in recent memory. I'm 29. I remain impressed by Dr. Aliphas' measured, objective approach to determining the actual cause of my symptoms. He is clearly great at what he does and I can tell he enjoys helping his patients. He never rushed me out of his office if I asked too many questions and always made sure I was comfortable to proceed with whatever option I chose. Most importantly, he made it clear that I was in the driver's seat, and that he was along for the ride no matter which path I chose. Bravo Dr. Aliphas. THANK YOU for your excellent care and for allowing me to breathe normally again. PS, for what it's worth, their desk staff and office manager Leah were excellent at helping me with the FMLA paperwork my employer needed for me to get sick time to have this procedure.

The doctor asked about my profession, but before I could answer, he interrupted and guessed that I was an administrative assistant. While I've held that role before and respect it deeply, the assumption -- and the way it was delivered -- came across as dismissive and unprofessional. He also explained post-care instructions in a tone that felt overly condescending, including how to avoid getting water in my ear as if I'd never taken a shower before. I came for medical care, not to be talked down to. Additionally, the office staff didn't inform me that the doctor was running 30 minutes behind. A simple heads-up would have gone a long way toward showing respect for patients' time. I recognize that other reviews speak highly of this physician, so perhaps I caught him on an off day. Still, the interaction felt unnecessarily patronizing and left a poor impression. I will not be back. It's also worth mentioning that the office requires a credit card to be kept on file "just in case of charges." In all my years of visiting various doctors, I've never encountered that policy before, and it felt out of step with standard practice.

I'm someone who usually does a lot of research on any product or service that I buy. But sometimes I don't have the time and skip it, I wished that I hadn't with Dr. Mark Rounds since I have seen that he has a lot of negative reviews on various doctor ratings websites, and now I know why. Dr. Rounds is quite the harsh, brash buffoon of a doctor that doesn't want to take the necessary time to describe surgical procedures or medication side effects or whatever else really. When I had pertinent questions to my orbital "blowout" floor fracture his response was "stop reading up on stuff on the internet" quote-unquote exactly. Later on in the conversation it was the exact same response in another vital question. But for me that is unacceptable. I'm not going to rely on a doctor's decisions 100% without asking him questions on some of them. It is my eyeball and my face that we are talking about so yes I want to know 100% exactly what we are going to do and every ramifications thereof. I feel sorry for any other naïve patient that doesn't want to know all the details of a potential surgery, how can they be that credulous before being cut into. A relationship between a doctor and patient has to be very upfront, candid and open to all the necessary details of one's health condition and surgeries, and you won't find that kind of genuine sincerity with Dr. Mark Rounds.

I had no idea how poorly I could breathe until I recovered and I actually could breathe! I've had people say to me that "the surgery is just a bandaid, things will go back to the way they were before in a year, my friend had it done" etc etc. so I waited a few years before writing this review. Still breathing just as good as I was 2 months post op. No more snoring, no more breathe right strips, I sleep so much better and I'm not a mouth breather anymore! People don't ask me "do you have a cold?" On a daily basis either anymore because it has made my voice sound so much less nasally! Dr. Gallivan was very friendly, personable, and willing to accommodate my situation. I told her I was a singer and she used a different type of intubation that wouldn't affect my vocal cords during the surgery. The whole process went very smoothly, she was realistic with what results to expect, to expect post operatively and the recovery process and she made herself accessible when I had questions beforehand. She really seemed like she had a strong passion for what she does and I would recommend her to anyone needing an ENT surgeon!
