I'll start off from the very beginning. About one year ago, my PCP tested me through blood tests…read morefor allergies. The results were moderate to severe allergies to pollen, certain types of trees, and dust. These allergies were contributing to frequent sinus infections/ colds. My PCP helped me manage them then. Fast forward to the present: I had a physical with my PCP, and had mentioned to him I noticed a swollen lymph node which has stayed consistently the same size for few months now, along with increased headaches, and noticed I had continued to experience sinus infections or colds rather frequently. He mentioned I was likely experiencing increased allergy symptoms which were contributing to the sinus infections/ colds. However, due to the new onset of swollen node, he recommended I see an ENT for palpation of my neck/throat and consultation of possibility of chronic sinusitis. I was recommended to this office... I don't know why, but I followed this recommendation. For my first session, I was seen 45 minutes after my original appointment time, to be seen by Dr. Brunetti for about 5 minutes, and barely being able to get a word in. He did a nasal endoscopy, which I surely deemed necessary if the point was to rule in/out sinusitis at this time. I, and my PCP, mainly wanted to have a palpation of my neck to have some insight on the swollen lymph node. He did a rather quick palpation of my neck and right away decided it was not concerning, and seemed to be a reactive lymph node from my allergies and my swollen nasal passages. I told him I recently had allergy testing done, and I am really visiting this office for a conclusion on why I have these swollen lymph nodes. If he deemed them non-concerning, I did not see the reason on why continue with this allergy testing if I had recently gotten it done. However, he responded with saying the testing done in this office is extensive and will give more answers. Due to the quick interaction with him, I agreed to the process of the allergy testing. He gave me a nasal spray prescription and sent me on my way. Second appointment for my 1st part of allergy testing: I was seen 1 hour after my appt time and I was not made aware of having a copayment for this visit. Dr. Songh was lovely, really took her time with me, and was very thorough. To no surprise, first part of testing showed I was allergic to dust and pollen. Third appointment: Again, seen an hour after my appointment time, for second part of testing and final visit with Dr. Brunetti. At the front desk, I suddenly had a copayment. After clarifying, the front desk receptionist makes me aware that this visit is actually two copayments, and that I should have been charged for my last visit. This was extremely disappointing, as each visit was $60. Suddenly, I had to pay $120 for two visits, apparently have 1 bill of a copayment on the way. My allergy testing, surprisingly, showed I was allergic to pollen, dust, and some trees. Almost like I had mentioned my prior allergy blood testing showed about one year ago. I then have my appointment with Dr. Brunetti. Dr. Brunetti did not let me talk, talked down to me about my knowledge of my allergies/ the allergy season, quickly did a palpation of my lymph nodes to tell me there were no more swollen nodes. I pointed out the exact location of the same lymph node, which has not had any changes from last time. He then corrects himself and says "if you want, we can do an ultrasound." How comforting and secure! Without educating me on what he is checking, he then runs another nasal endoscopy after telling him I felt better with my allergies. Said nasal endoscopy is charged as a procedure to the insurance companies, and cost me $300 for my first appointment. If I was thoroughly listened to during my first appointment, I 1. would not have wasted my time for three upcoming appointments, of which I was seen an hour later each time, 2. would not be billed an absurd amount of money for this unnecessary allergy testing, 3. Would probably feel much much better about my swollen lymph nodes, with a better understanding. This was so, so disappointing. With weeks and weeks in this process, I came out of these appointments with the same exact allergy results from recently, one $300 bill from ONE appointment (and am sure will have good hefty bills from the next three sessions), and same answer about my lymph nodes from the first session, with added "if you want, we can get an ultrasound." Thank God they are not concerning, but putting the ball in my court, as if I know what to do, was not comforting.

Dr John Cece is by far the best ENT doctor/surgeon and I trust him implicitly. He did sinus…read moreendoscopy many years ago and a rhinoplasty at the same time. The results were amazing. I am a regular at his office for sinus issues and the staff is amazing, as well. They have helped me so many times getting me a prompt appointment when I was in so much pain. He is a true healer and I know when I am in agony, I will get relief after my appointment. When I have been very ill with sinus issues, he has returned my calls and even called on his own to see how I was feeling. I've seen one of the associates in the past and no offense - but I prefer to just see Dr.Cece. From a cosmetic standpoint, many people have complimented me on my nose and I have referred numerous patients to him for consultation and they were all very pleased with their surgical results. However, utmost is his skill as a ENT doctor and surgeon. I highly recommend this office and Dr. Cece without any reservation whatsoever ! Wonderful gifted doctor.

While I have been lucky enough to have amazing ENT's through ENT Allergy (no bad experiences with any of their doctors), no one is better than Dr. Scheibelhoffer. It's not even close. No ENT has provided me with such stellar knowledge and immediate feedback than this doctor. He ALWAYS has the answers and goes to great lengths to educate his patients. Dr. Scheibelhoffer is the consummate professional - caring, compassionate, witty, and an outstanding sense of humor. I walked in today, and he commented immediately on my sports jersey. As he was prepping my files, we continued to talk sports for a few minutes before an inevitable nasal endoscopy was about to occur. He knows precisely what to say to put patients of ALL AGES at ease. There are simply not enough superlatives to describe this fine person. Highly recommended.

I never gave the topic of skin cancer a 2nd thought until my father had to have a spot on his skin removed over 30 years ago. This threw me into a profound depression, and I got drunk (in those days, I didn't really need profound depression, or even mild depression, as an excuse to get drunk, although it was to my mind a very good excuse/reason). Turns out, skin cancer if caught early is not the worst cancer, and my father lived for several more decades. On another occasion, an older co-worker, with Irish skin fairer than mine, had a very large segment of skin removed from his face. It wasn't disfiguring, but he did look like he had come out the clear loser in a serious bar-room brawl. It was sinking in for me that cancer of any sort, skin or otherwise, wasn't something to take lightly. In my last physical, my doctor pointed to a spot on the side of my forehead, and said, almost casually, "You should get that looked at by a dermatologist." I was aware of the spot, which had been there for a few years, and had assumed it was merely the result of aging skin-- a "freckle" or "sunspot." I wasn't a "sun-lover," but during my childhood, my parents were devotees of lying in the sun at the beach, and, as an adult, I often ran for 6 miles at a stretch in the blazing sun. So, I wasn't cavalier about my doctor's suggestion. My oldest friend has a Mediterranean olive complexion, but he was a lifeguard and surfer in his younger days, and he's been going to a dermatologist for 20 years. I asked for a recommendation and he recommended Dr. Abbate. Nice guy, very knowledgeable, very thorough in his examination. Not loving the thought of having to drive to Riverdale, I sent an email to Dr. Abbate's office and to another dermatologist closer to home. Dr. Abbate's office responded immediately. The other guy? Never heard from him. My choice had been made. I did ask my friend, "This Dr. Abbate-- this isn't the kid we knew from grade school, is it? That Mark Abate is our age, and this Dr. on his website photo is a young man. This isn't a 'Picture of Dorian Gray' thing going on, is it?" "No," my friend replied calmly. "This isn't the same guy you were in Cub Scouts with." The office is modernistic, off of Rt. 23, but I do have to mention that the parking situation is abysmal. I had to circle around 3 or 4 times before I secured a spot. It appears that "valet service" is available, but I'm not entirely sure how that works out in a restaurant, much less a medical office. In the waiting room, I was surrounded by older people, which I have to admit was disconcerting to me. In spite of what I say, I still like to think of myself as firmly entrenched in middle-age as opposed to old-timer status. In fact, 1 guy in a wheelchair started trembling and had to be wheeled into a back room for a "medical emergency." EMT personnel arrived quickly on the scene. Hopefully, things worked out OK for him. (In fairness, there were 1 or 2 young people in the office and even a child.) Mercifully, it didn't take long for me to be called inside. I was told to take off my clothes with the exception of my shorts and put on a backless paper smock. This is always a bit unnerving to me as my physique is no longer that of the runner/weight-lifter I once was, and...the spot is on my face, Doc! Is this near-total nudity really necessary? The Dr. and nurse came in, and Dr. Abbate was very friendly and personable. I mentioned my old friend, and Dr. Abbate nodded his head fondly, and told me to say hello to him. He also mentioned that 1 of his golfing partners has the same last name as me, and wondered if we could be related? My last name is common in north Jersey and I shrugged. Maybe we are, maybe not. (Irrelevant aside: I have the same last name as a writer famous in the 20s, but the only "famous" people I might actually be related to are prohibition mobster Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll and old-time character actor J. Carrol Naish. Maybe. Then again, maybe not...) Dr. Abbate was thorough in his examination, looking at my feet, legs, under my arms, front, back, and backside. In deference to modesty, he asked about the groin area, and I was spared that part of the examination. He then asked if I had a problem with needles. Not really, but I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, so I kind of equivocated. He put the needle in, and then I guess "scraped" the facial spot in question (it stung a bit but no real pain). A small bandage was put on it, and I was told I would hear back in 2 weeks. We shook hands, and I made an appointment for next year. With the caveat about the difficult parking situation, this visit was as pleasant and painless as these things can possibly be. Dr. Abbate is a real nice guy, professional and thorough, and I'm glad I "picked" him as my dermatologist. Highly recommended.
