I had sinuses problem for a whole year without knowing it was sinus problems, cant smell or taste, headache etc., you name it, it was horrible, cant focus on anything. Went to many doctors and they all diagnosed me with acid reflux and they even did a camera check in my throat and found nothing, cost me $5000 just for wrong diagnosed , thanks to Souther Hill hospital ( completely scam ). Then after checking and couldnt find the problem of acid reflux, the doctor said " call us tomorrow for a follow up". I called the next day and GUESS WHAT?!?! The scammer doctor said " call us back in 3 weeks" , 3 WEEKS?!?! I might as well just die. So I took matter in my own hand and found Dr.Vincent Nalbone after a quick search around the area, called them and they said come in tomorrow so I did. The process of getting in was welcome and easy, the staffs were all lovely and smiley. QUEEN was helpful on taking me inside and get me going with a CT scan then NICOLE came in with a smile and cared about what I concern, showed me the inside or my nose and carefully explained to me whats wrong with my sinuses, compare my scan with a normal person scan and recommended me for a " Nose Synuplasty procedure ". After the procedure with DR. Vincent Nalbone ( thank you DR ) , I went home to rest and beautifully, the office called me 2 days in a row to check if I was ok and said if ai concern about anything please give them a call. From a POV of a patient , I feel warmness in my heart as my nose healing. 2 weeks went by, I could breath normally and could smell everything including " ALL DA NASHTY THANG IN THE WORLD AGAIN " .I went in for a Post-Procedure follow up. Saw QUEEN and NICOLE again, they were lovely and gave me great news on my sinuses after a few checks. I dont understand about all the nasty review about this WONDERFUL PLACE !?! I'd recommend anyone with Ear, Nose , Throat problems to come here and have them fix you. read more

Hey Nalbone! Heard you're on probation! Too many lawsuits due to your shady practices. I would know because you botched me so horribly that I have MRSA that colonized in my nose for the rest of my life and you didn't even do the proper surgery on me for the condition I had. I heard People go into you for ear problems and you offer them balloon sinuplasty. Doing unnecessary surgeries. 6+ complaints to the board from different just this year alone!! you ruined my life. I hope everyone reads this stay away from this guy ! if you need a Dr NASRI he's the best of the town and he's an actual surgeon not a fraud like Nalbone read more

Initially everything seemed great. They recommended a balloon sinoplasty. I never even saw the actual Dr., as he only came in to the procedure room after I had been given the pre-procedure drugs. The procedure happened quickly and apparently smoothly. But then? My sinuses were infected for over 2 months, and I still don't think they are fully healed nor clear of the infection. I am STILL getting the pieces of plastic out. Then the bill came. 2x as high as they said *(not that they would let themselves get pinned down in the office about how much it would cost). I am almost 6 months since having the procedure and still fighting with their billing service and my insurance. I would highly recommend people just rinse their sinuses a couple of times a day before going to this practitioner. And seriously consider other practitioners before this one. read more

Office experience was horrible I set an appointment a week in advance and was called 30 minutes before my appointment and notified that my insurance was not excepted receptionist was very unprofessional they call my phone and hung up I called back and was immediately put on hold without Notification of business name.. Even though I wanted to keep the appointment and pay cash was quoted a different price over the phone then I was in person.. ruin my whole week schedule read more

Vincent Nalbone's office failed to inform me of a possible leak in a cyst found in my sinus. When confronted about why I was being referred for an MRI after being told it was optional by the practitioner Abby who was handeling my case, she informed me that Nalbone wanted me to have one. She forgot to place me on hold and I hear her asking other staff memebers why the MRI is ordered. To have my doctor not be able to explain to me why I am being asked to receive a service that I felt was unnecessary is an extreme concern. After never having met or been physically seen by Nalbone, I asked Abby for a referral to see a new doctor given that they could not give me clear answers on what was going on with my case. Nalbone calls me with a condescending and disrespectful tone to the point where I had to ask him why he felt it was ok to speak to me in that manner. When he finally explained why I was being ordered an MRI, he THEN informed me that my CT was showing a potential leak in my cyst. I had a CT done on Monday. The first I heard of this concern was Friday. When confronted on why this was, he said "my office made a boo-boo." Long story short, I won't be receiving any more medical treatment from this negligent office. Considering Nalbone has records of medical malpractice, I think it's safe to say to do your research before allowing this office to help you with serious medical concerns, read more

This Doctor is great! Geraldine is amazing! Great quality of care and s wonderful front office staff! GO HERE!

I went to Dr Naibone for what I thought was an ear problem as my ears were draining liquid at night and I was losing my hearing. I first saw his nurse practitioner who listened carefully and then explained the interconnection between the sinuses and the ears. she looked in my ears and saw the swelling and crusting in my ears but said the eardrums looked normal. she took pictures of the inside of my sinuses and showed me where the canals were narrowed and in one area where a part had a empty area where there shouldn't be one. she showed me my pictures compared to normal pictures and we scheduled a procedure. Dr Naibone performed the procedure and he was nice and gentle with me when it hurt. I am recovering now and can't say anything but nice things about the whole experience. read more

Vegas Breathe free Center is the worst. The so call doctor VINCENT NALBONE, he is worse the the Nigerian scam artist HUSHPUPPi. I under went the balloon sinuplasty procedure. The out come was a painful and negative result, nothing has changed. Here, I am still snoring and my nose is full of nasal polyps tissus, which he supposed to remove during the surgery. I learned my lesson, not to deal with a one start rated E.N.T doctor anymore. read more

This office is a flagrantly fraudulent, deceptive, unethical scam operation. PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Go literally anywhere else. You have been warned. They first abjectly failed to correct the relatively minor issue I came to them with, but then months later, after I decided to give them another chance and schedule a follow up appt, they inexplicably hit me with a *significant* invoice from the previous session where they accomplished nothing. Their billing folks told me it was because of some kind of nasal scan that I never asked for, never authorized, and had zero to do with the reason I made the appointment! I mean some doctors offices have shame and use subterfuge to tack on excessive charges. Vincent Nalbone just steals from you in broad daylight. And remember they were wholly incompetent to resolve the basic underlying probem in the first place! I'm not a big review writer but had to take the time to let people know about this fraud shop. Please, please good people, stay away. read more

Had my procedure a month ago after years of sinus infections and issues. Staff was excellent and now can breath so much better

first thing pa said to me was do you want a nose ct? totally threw me. nothing but phony sales presentation for sinuplasty. i got second opinion from well know ent next week and was told sinuplasty would not help me at all. i did not need it. was also told that this office for second opinion gets 2-3 people a week that got sinuplasty at dr nalbones office and had a terrible time with it or patient was there for second opinion because they had doubts about dr nalbone!!! stay away hard sell unnessary surgey at dr nalbones office!! run read more

Stay away from This "doctor" he has no clue on what he's doing. Because of him I had to go thru multiple surgeries. His office doesn't answer their phone from my doctors on why he messed up my neck surgery and left a plastic clip in there. If you want to find a BETTER ENT I suggest DR ROBERT WANG and DR SAMER NAKHLE. Nalbone is a joke. read more

Dr. Nalbone's staff is simply the best! From making the appointment, to my visit, completing the hearing tests, and referred for MRI and test results. I highly recommend this practice, as they are very knowledgeable, efficient, practical, and above all they care about their patients! read more

3/20/24 update: went to a different doctor for a second opinion since my smell and taste is still affected. He did a CT scan and said whoever performed my surgery 10 years ago (Nalbone) shaved the turbine too much and probably damaged the nerve at that time and then the balloonplasty Nalbone performed put pressure on the nerve and destroyed it further. He said I didn't need the balloonplasty since I wasn't blocked. I spoke to someone I work with and he said Nalbone also messed up his daughter's nose after it was broken and they had to go to another doctor. Thanks Nalbone for permanently ruining my smell, taste and quality of life! Zero stars!!! read more

Don't go to this office they will charge you for services they don't do then bill your insurance company and you ! Stay away from this doctor ! They scam people ! They put a light in my nose and billed my insurance company for surgery ! The billing department told me that's procedure ! this office should be investigated for insurance fraud ! read more

I went to Nalbone after getting a referral from a plastic surgeon I had called. All I wanted was my nose made smaller. He proceeded to make it look worse and performed unwanted surgery disguised as medical jargon on the consent form. My dumb ass signed it because I trust my doctors... Not anymore. Do NOT trust this man read more

Vincent Nalbone, MD - Ear Nose & Throat Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I was referred to Dr. Nalbone by my primary physician for vertigo and hearing loss. I told him about what happened and my history, he looked in my ears with the otoscope, and said "well what do you want me to do about it?" WHAT??? What do you think I want you to do about it? I want you to help me! Do something! Why else would I come here! I'm appalled at how unprofessional he was and what makes him think that it was appropriate to say that. I'm so disappointed that I wasted my time and money here just to hear "well what do you want me to do about it?" Do yourself a favor and go to literally ANY OTHER ENT in vegas. Thanks for absolutely nothing. read more

I can say that this office and staff are excellent. I had an appointment in only a couple of days and everything was very easy. I was called a couple of times for information and the lady I spoke with was very pleasant and caring. On my way to the appointment, I had to call the office for directions and both times they put me at ease and told me exactly how to get there. When I arrived at the office everyone was smiling and very helpful. One of the office staff even helped me with my medical history. My wait time was only about 5 minutes. After I was shown into the room, the tech did my history and asked if it was ok to do a ct scan so they could look at my sinus passages. I agreed because I was there to find out what was going on. After the scan the PA came in and explained what was going on. She was so nice and caring. I felt like I was well taken care of. The PA's name was Nicole and I would recommend her to anyone. All in all, it was a great experience. read more

I loved the no frill approach. Consultation included CT scan, report of findings and plan. Surgery scheduled. Minimal wait. The doc came in, surgery complete within 15 minutes. In and out within 2 hours. This is how medical care should be done. read more

My experience with Dr Nalbone is this: he is a specialized highly - skilled surgeon. His team is very proficient and knowledgeable. When you go to the office for a consultation you actually talk to Dr Nalbone. He is straight to the point and won't talk to you about the weather or your kids but here is what he does do: First - he is the one that assesses you and determines your course of treatment. Second - all during my procedure he kept asking me if I was okay, was there any discomfort, could they get me anything, etc. I felt that my health and well-being were his utmost priority. And third - the results you get from him are nothing short of amazing. read more

I couldn't smell or taste anything for the last 10+ years I couldn't breathe out of my left nostril at all definitely a quality of life killer- I'm now 5 months post surgery my smell and my taste came back it opened everything up . I'm breathing like a champ and sleeping so much better/ I am beyond happy with the outcome/ Thank you very much read more

Dr Nalbone is so awesome. Can't express enough his obscene experience overall as a health care provider. His team is also a valuable part of his team. I had a bilateral non invasive nasal balloon dilation due to my chronic allergies and sinus congestion and within one week, I can honestly say I am able to breath better and feel better especially in the morning. Thank You again Dr. Nalbone and his sinus center team. read more

This office violates HIPAA laws. They called me regarding a family member's procedure, and without me identifying myself, gave me specific personal details. They were able to contact the patient herself, and did so, but then called me to "reel her in" because she was dissatisfied with her procedure and told them so. They had absolutely NO reason to contact me as an emergency contact. It was NOT an emergency, they just wanted to vent to me as her family member and cover their butts. PLEASE go somewhere else. This office is unprofessional. The doctor has NO people skills, and if you have an issue with the procedure, they will talk over you and call you a liar. I'm in awe that they are in business. read more

I wish I had seen these reviews prior to booking (and not just based my hopefulness on google reviews that showed 4.9 stars). I was hopeful about this evaluation and this clinic/doctor b/c it was easy to get scheduled, easy to reschedule when I accidentally double-booked w/ work, and Jessie seemed polite and responsive via email. Fast forward to the afternoon prior to my appointment and I'm told they can't verify my insurance. Okay. They ask for my benefits number and SSN. I get a call back from Jessie in which I'm told, "Your insurance says you're ineligible." I pointed out how strange that was, given that I've had this insurance, in some form since 2008. She was quick to cut me off, several times, talked in this breathy gushing voice that "I'm not calling you a liar" and telling me "there is nothing we can do." The conversation needlessly escalated b/c she constantly interrupted me and talked down to me like I was a child. She actually hung up on me too. Nice work, Jessie! Great customer service! So...yeah...Dr. Nalbone may be great....or may not be great....but if you can't stomach their support staff b/c of rudeness and disrespect to actually GET to the doctor, well, there's a problem there. Godspeed, medical practice, because you apparently don't need this patient. (And to that, I say good riddance, to yet another sh*tty Vegas medical facility). read more

Went for the ballon procedure. Was told with my 2 insurance $25.00. The procedure was initially good but as soon as spring allergies came it was not a huge improvement. 4 months later I get a bill for $900. Big difference. I would not recommend procedure for that amount. And to top it off they don't send you a bill just a text. When I called the billing department I had to leave a message. I was told by the front desk they will call back in 2 or three days. Definitely not worth the grief. read more

Dr. Nalbone, more like " Dr. Bonehead" did a tonsillectomy on me which resulted in being admitted into the hospital for two weeks for pain management. He and his staff were NOT sympathetic to my complications and pain issues after my surgery was done. Once he had my payment and the procedure was done, I was yesterday's news. He is an ENT (ears, nose, throat) doctor, however come to find out his specialty is plastic surgery, face rejuvenation? WTF... If I could go back in time and not have had him perform my tonsillectomy I would in a heart beat! I went through hell, was bad enough I was 31 at the time, this is really a procedure that should be done in your youth. He did not make it any easier for me. You would think if a Doctor performs a surgical procedure, they would be attentive to aftercare such as prescribing pain medicine as needed. I was in a lot of pain. My throat was RAW. He prescribed codeine which did not even phase the pain. He says go to ER if I want something better. What kind of Doctor does that? Yeah I did as he said and Southern Hills hospital ended up keeping me for two weeks my condition was so bad!!! The hospital staff was horrified when I told them how he handled my issue with the pain I was suffering from. A lot of these Doctor's in Vegas are Quacks! He is one of them in my opinion! The next time I need surgery done or any type of operation I will drive to Los Angeles and see a real doctor at Cedars Sinai or UCLA where I know I will get good treatment and care. Lesson learned in dealing with and placing my trust in a "Doctor" in Vegas! ***Fake Reviews previously posted I am sure of it, all have no picture and the only review they have posted. This Doctor and his staff are scum, does not surprise me they would create fake accounts and post fake 5 star reviews*** I am glad they posted a fake review otherwise I would not have even thought to have written my review regarding the horrific experience I had with this "Doctor". I attempted to block it out of my memory however is a good thing to save others from the hell and agony I suffered! read more

MD Nalbone and his staff are the best. Had a deviated septum repair that was destroyed by another doctor in 1984. No names but a ca. kaiser doctor. Horrible experience. Well Well Well Md Nalborne to the rescue. Great pre-op interview , painless procedure , great post op experience. Staff called several times during the first 2 weeks post surgery. This facility is extremely professional. I have read some of the negative post about rudeness. Well if you need your hand held perhaps you might tell them from the beginning. They will do a professional surgery , give you post care and treatment. I do not need to have my hand held I needed a great doctor to make me well. HE DID it is the best I have felt in years. Thank you Doctor Nalborne and staff. Job well done this is posted 2 months after the procedure, and wanted to wait a bit to see the real results. GREAT JOB !!! read more

I've been going to Dr. Vincent Nalbone for years now. It started out with constant tonsillitis after a year or so it got worse. Almost every month I would be sick with fevers and throat pain. He suggested to do a tonsillectomy and I agreed. Best decision ever made! He is very friendly and will answer any question you have, so be prepared! I also trusted him to do a sinus procedure called balloon sinuplasty years later. It has absolutely helped any problem I previously had. The day of the ballon procedure the staff made me feel comfortable and relaxed. It went smoothly and before I knew it the procedure was over. No pain before or after. If you're looking for an ENT specialist definitely consider Dr. Nalbone and his staff. read more

Had Balloon Sinuplasty done with Dr Nalbone two weeks ago and what a great experience and an even better outcome. Night and Day difference in my ability to breathe freely and for relatively easy post-surgery. I do really wish that I saw him pre- and post- surgery vs his PA but I do understand that he is busy with surgeries. Thank you! read more

if I could give him less than one I would. When I first walked into his office I thought they were wonderful. He recommended my son have the Balloon procedure Which was great we thought he finally get relief. The procedure was a complete disaster he was worse than he ever was again that's the chance you take. it was the treatment we were given after that That has me writing this review. He was arrogant smug and lacked empathy. He sent my son to neurologist and an infectious disease Doctor Who asked why he was even there. He app he suggested my son have surgery and two weeks later we still haven't heard when that surgery will be. When I called to ask to speak with him he called me back hung up on me and told me and not so many words to find another doctor. I would stay as far away from him as possible. I hope to find a Doctor Who actually cares so my son can be pain-free read more

Lifelong allergic rhinitis sufferer here. I began experiencing episodes of not being able to smell scents in 2016. It would return to normal from time to time but by 2018 and that whole year long, I couldn't smell ANYthing. In early 2019, started getting stuffy ears that wouldn't depressurize, and annoying random nosebleeds. Dr. Nalbone to the rescue! After a CAT scan he walked me through my issues and got me scheduled for surgery. Several nasal polyps got removed and all my FULL sinuses ballooned. I'm a changed man now and can enjoy the aromas of life again :) The entire process including diagnosis, appointments scheduling, pre-op and post-op calls, care, and instructions, along with the time he took to talk with me was all excellent. He's got a very busy practice so don't expect him to sit & chat with you outside the scope of getting the important things done. His staff touched base with me several times on the phone and kept me in the loop on the billing, my medications, everything to be doing at home, and I also got a call from Dr Nalbone himself to see how I'm coming along. A deep sincere thank you Dr Nalbone! Keep up the excellent job at your practice. read more

I came to Vegas ENT after a horrible experience elsewhere that left me in tears. I lost my sense of smell and taste about 3 years ago and when I started smelling gasoline for 8 days straight, I finally went to the doctor. Dr Nalbone took his time with me, asked me questions and listened to what I had to say. I felt like he cared and was genuinely concerned. After a CAT scan, my whole left sinus was blocked. He offered options and I decided to go with the balloon sinuplasty. The office manager, Ellen, is an absolute saint and called me on both Wednesday and Thursday prior to my Friday procedure to ensure I wasn't anxious or scared. During the procedure, I remember Dr Nalbone talking me through the procedure to keep my panic at bay. The others in the room were so sweet and I felt that I was in good hands. My follow up appointments were consistent with every other visit. I spent more time with the doctor than I did in the waiting room. I didn't feel rushed and I felt comfortable to ask any question I needed to. I highly, highly recommend Vegas ENT! read more

Today I had the Ballon Sinuplasty and Tribunates reduction. Dr Nalbone and his team were really amazing. I was very hesitant at first because there were plenty of bad reviews but mostly about the office staff and bedside manner. I went with my instincts which have never failed me thus far. Dr Nalbone is very capable of doing his job and everything he can to heal your sinus issues. He was very professional and talked me through the whole procedure every step and explained exactly what he was doing. He was very professional and I experienced great bedside manner. His NP staff were very professional and compassionate. During the procedure his NP held my hand because she saw that I was nervous and wanted to assure me that I am ok. I thought that was very sweet. I had no pain during the procedure. I just felt pressure but it wasn't too bad at all. The front office staff were courteous and friendly. I'm glad I didn't cancel my appt after reading the negative reviews and honestly those gave me second thoughts. Im glad I gave Dr. Nalbone and his staff a chance. They definitely proved they are very capable of doing their job and did it in a professional manner. So if your second guessing wether to go here because of some bad reviews trust your instincts after meeting Dr Nalbone and his clinical staff and do what you think is best for you. I highly recommend the Sinus Institute and Dr Nalbone. Now I wait and see how the recovery goes. read more

Vincent Nalbone, MD - Ear Nose & Throat Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

If I could put zero stars I would. This office scams you. I had surgery with this doctor about four years ago. I remember they were barely any charges. I have Culinary insurance and it is amazing. This time I paid $30 for a co-pay. Almost immediately they said I had to have a CT scan and I asked if covered by insurance. They said it was. Things were extremely rushed and something just wasn't right. Nap one came in and barely 'looked' at my scan results for maybe 20 seconds. He took a straw object and maybe took 3 seconds to look in my nose. Nothing was even inserted.. When I went to see the doctor I had a sinus infection so of course there was going to be an infection on the slide. I told the doctor that maybe I should come back when I am not physically ill and that maybe it would go away. Of course, he said it would not. Dr. immediately said I needed surgery and Even before he was finished, some lady shoves a paper and pen in my lap. I said that maybe I would like surgery in the future due to the fact I have a new career in the medical field. I thought this was a bit odd she told me to 'sign for later..' A few weeks later I got a bill from my insurance. Itsays that I had the surgery and there is a huge charge for a CT scan which should be covered by my insurance. (It is 'in network..' I checked.. it also says there needs to be a PA) whenever I go to a different doctor and they need to get a prior authorization when you are on site, they come back and let you know what the co-pay is I'm asking if you want to pay it. This did not happen... There are a few more reviews like this so please look out. I will not be paying these ridiculous amounts because they did not do a surgery in office and only the CT scan, which I also feel I was tricked into..and also signing for a possible surgery..the lady stood there and watched me sign. They did not even ask me to read the paperwork..There was nothing even put my nose at this visit. I will do what I can to bring this office down because charging for things that did not take place is absolutely ludicrous! If you look at other reviews giving him one star, you will see that Dr. replies..trying to call out the patients' of education, competency, etc. he never once apologizes for anything, but ridicules the patient. Extremely unprofessional. I do know about billing, prior authorization processes, insurance and compliant practices in the medical field. I am educated and not an idiot. I know what you are doing, doctor. read more

I was there for a balloon procedure to help me breathe better and avoid deviated septum surgery. it was done and after when I told his nurse that I still felt same issue in nose into ear, she advised me to go see a ear dr. I made appt with my ent who had previously Rec commended deviated septum surgery. He said nalbone is an ent and they shouldn't have told me to go see ear dr. Then he did X-rays again and said everything was exactly the same and nalbone didn't do anything but take the money. He advised me to file a complaint. after the procedure with nalbone, he didn't even give me the courtesy of a post op appt. I only ever met with his nurses. Very unprofessional. Oh ya I woke up when they started working on me cuz their meds didn't help and I felt him drilling up my nose, painful. read more

I have been to many doctors over the years, I came to Dr. Nalbone simply because he was the closest ENT who took my insurance. I got super lucky. Best doctor I have ever had. He is competent, professional, answered every question, and was very thorough in his assessment. I had multiple visits over several months, and surgery last week. He was easy to work with, and seemed to love his work and trying to help me find a solution. In about 6-7 appointments, I never waited more than 10 minutes. His office staff were great, and cut through the insurance red tape. If you need an ENT in Las Vegas, Dr. Nalbone is the go to guy for excellent care. read more

I have been to just about every ENT here in Las Vegas, I had a deviated septum. The first Doctor I went to said, "No need for surgery." Then why can't I breathe right? I do have allergies, but I have taken every known allergy med under the sun, All they did was make my nose warm. All these ENT'S did was write out scripts! So, script after useless script and doctor after useless Doctor, I found one that did the septoplasty with turbinate reduction. A year later her retired and the Turbinate was back, This Doctor "B," NEVER took a CT scan before or after the surgery and then, he retired in the blink of an eye. Then I found Doctor V Nalbone. He was on the other side of town, but I had to try him as a last resort, He was my only hope. I am so glad I went to Doctor V Nalbone. His staff was very friendly and helpful! I had a bilateral balloon procedure on April 4, 2020 and I have minimal bleeding and I feel good. This is the second day too. I am a native New Yorker and I have worked with the best Doctors in New York at a hospital there, and, this is the closest I have come to feeling right at home. Thank you, Doctor Nalbone and your lovely staff! read more

Vincent Nalbone, MD - Ear Nose & Throat Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Visited this office twice for wax build up in my ears. The first time I didn't see the doctor, but saw an NP or tech of some kind. She examined my ears and said she was going to write me a prescription for drops to soften the wax, and schedule me to return to have the wax removed. She told me that I wouldn't be able to pick up the drops until the next day because they had so many prescriptions to phone in that they couldn't get to them all in one day. In retrospect, I should have just had it filled myself. Long story short, they sent my prescription to the wrong pharmacy. Fortunately I called ahead and didn't waste time making a trip for nothing. However, when I went back to have the wax removed I told the NP or whatever she was what had happened, and got the most insincere "Oh, I'm sorry about that" that I've ever heard in my life. I guess the drops did their job, but I have to say I had more discomfort and reduced hearing after I started taking them than I did before. By the day before my next appointment I had tinnitus in one ear along with some pain, and I was generally concerned that I might have some degree of permanent hearing loss. I called the office and the girl who answered the phone wouldn't answer my questions - she just kept saying that the drops were softening the wax. I asked to have the woman who examined me call me back, and I was told that she would within an hour, but she never did. My appointment to have my ears cleaned was at 4:15, so I expected there to be a wait since all doctor's offices are backed up by the end of the day. However, it was over an hour before I saw Dr. Nalbone. On the positive side, he did a good job removing the wax and I had no after effects. Just wish the staff wold have been a little more competent and compassionate. read more
