It's unfortunate that I have to write a negative review because I genuinely liked Dr. Marlowe, but…read moremy experience with the billing department has been extremely unacceptable. I had a surgical procedure on October 16th involving a middle ear injection to address eustachian tube dysfunction. This procedure had been scheduled months in advance. A day before my the surgery date, Dr. Marlowe's office contacted me and required a $450 out-of-pocket payment for the injection, stating they would work with my insurance afterward to assist with reimbursement. I paid this amount. On the morning of surgery, I arrived at the surgery center at 6:00 a.m. and was informed that I would also need to pay a $1,200 surgery center fee because it had not been submitted to my insurance for pre-authorization. The office had several months to obtain authorization but had not done so - to my expense. I was told that if I did not pay the $1,200 that morning, the procedure would need to be rescheduled. After waiting months with intermittent hearing in one ear, I felt I had no choice but to pay. It has now been four months, and I have not been reimbursed for either charge due to repeated billing errors. My insurance company has issued multiple denials based on incorrect coding, missing documentation, and failure to submit required retro-authorization forms. Each time I follow up, they tell me "it's resolved on their end." It's "resolved" because I paid it! Unless I consistently pursue updates myself, no action is taken. I carry excellent insurance coverage, and reimbursement should not be difficult. The issue is not coverage -- it is the repeated failure to properly submit documentation and carelessness of the office because they are not out the $1,650, I am.

Zero Stars I made an appointment with Dr. Marlowe for FESS…read moreendoscopic sinus surgery. I've had chronic sinusitis for years. I have radiology reports back at least ten years stating "grossly deviated septum with spur" and was told I may have skull base tumors. I simply wanted the procedure to clear my sinuses. I brought CT scans, MRI, even my laptop with dicom medical imaging reader. He was rude, had his medical assistant open up the images in another room and didnt go over them with me, despite me bringing my laptop and disc player into the exam room. Despite knowing I need a FESS, despite my insurance already approving the procedure, he came back into the room and told me I was fine and didnt need the FESS. I was very surprised because I went to the appointment with the intend on scheduling surgery. I said, "what about my deviated septum, can you fix it" and he looked surprised and LIED to me (his facial movements and eyes let me know he was lying) and says, "its not that bad". I also brought along my medication list. He saw I already take 40mg of Protonix for GERD, and yet the only thing he did do was write me a second Rx for Protonix, that I didnt need. This was a waste of my time, waste of $45 copay, waste of health insurance payout. Do not beLIEve the 5 star reviews as he pays people to write them. Worthless. This guy Marlowe is worthless. Find another ENT. EDIT: to add the CT Scan from 2021 he said "looked fine" has this Radiology report: "septal deviation, convex, airway obstruction 50 - 75% and septal spur". A simple google search: "A convex septal deviation with 50-75% airway obstruction and a septal spur indicates a significant deviation of the nasal septum, likely causing noticeable breathing difficulties and potentially other issues like sinus infections. The deviation, especially when combined with a septal spur, can create a significant narrowing of the nasal passages, leading to impaired airflow." This doctor, Dr. Marlowe is a loser who is afraid to do ENT surgery. AVOID HIM. EDIT #2. When I showed Marlowe the Afrin/Lidocaine nasal spray that ENT Associates of Manatee gave me a few years ago, he looked stupid and asked me why they would give something like that to me. IDIOT. Please google: ENT Afrin/lidocaine. Avoid this guy.

I had a hole in my face at least the size of a quarter for a week, while waiting to hear whether or not all of the cancer had been removed. Dr. Checcone's staff was very polite, efficient, and attentive. Dr. Checcone evaluated the opening during a consult and then performed the surgery the next day. He is a talented plastic surgeon who did an outstanding job. He took a round hole and turned it into a longer scar which he moved closer to my jaw line so that it would appear more natural. It has healed very well and people who have seen the before and after can't believe it. He even managed to save my beard by ensuring the scar didn't interfere too much with the natural hair growth! Highly recommend.

This pediatric office dismissed my child's urgent medical issue because we arrived two minutes late…read moreto an appointment we rushed to after school. I was upfront when scheduling that timing would be tight and was told not to worry--yet we were refused care without any flexibility. We offered multiple solutions, including waiting to be seen later or at the end of the day. None were considered. Messages left on the nurses' line frequently go unanswered, adding to an already dangerous lack of communication. The front office staff is rude, dismissive, and shockingly indifferent, and the office manager appears more focused on control than children's health. The doctors are wonderful if you can actually get in to see them, but the front office makes this practice unreliable for families needing timely care.
