This is probably the one of the worst experiences I have ever had with a doctor. Being a doctor…read moremyself I have been suffering from vertigo and my neurologist recommended ENT allergy where Paul Vastola has his Staten Island office. After administering a hearing test he came into the office and asked "what I could I do for you" ? I explained in detail about my vertigo and dizziness. He checked my ears and nasal cavity and said everything was clear. He then uttered " what can I do for you". I explained to him again that I was very dizzy and lightheaded and was recommended to see him. He said there was nothing he could do for me and told me to follow him to the reception area. The bottom line is I didn't stop and they found a doctor in New Jersey who diagnosed me with Ménière's disease and could not believe my story about the ENT..12 Paul Vastola has the personality of a doorknob even though he's a medical doctor as I would never treat my patients like that. You have been given fair warning!!

However, after Dr Ciecko took the time to explain everything going on and answered every question I had, I felt a lot more comfortable. Dr Ciecko is extremely knowledgeable and didn't rush through any of his responses. Amazingly, he did 3 passes of the needle with only a numbing spray and I didn't even flinch - it wasn't a zero but he talked to me and explained exactly what he was doing so that distracted me enough for it to be a very mild amount of discomfort. Dr Ciecko is a true professional and I trust him completely after this interaction. I can understand why everyone who sees him loves him. Re

I spoke with a lady gave her my complete information to verify. She said Yes we take your insurance and gave me an appt with a Dr with a last name with a B.

And starts making excuses and blaming me for something her staff is responsible for.. then I ask her who answers the phones the dr line and how come they don't know why they don't know what's insurance they take and didn't verify. This is when a very large fat woman named Nicole comes storming at me puffing her chest yelling at me tightening her fists. I said does she want to fight me? She extremely unprofessional rude and disrespectful. I can't believe she is employed here. Never can I imagine that I come to a Dr office bc I'm sick and this is how you treat a patient insisting I pay cash for my visit when I have insurance. The blatant disregard of civil rights.
