Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have United HealthCare endorsed by AARP as supplement to Medicare. No problem with United HealthCare supplementing Medicare. Chronic sore throat condition was diagnosed and successfully treated by Dr Passalaqua.

I haven't even seen the doctor yet but so far the horrible experience of trying to book and appointment is giving me more of a headache. The girl in some call center....yes appointment call center sounded like she didn't know what she was doing. She wasn't listening when I told her I WORK and have to work around that. Then I get some 'key code' to get on their website and it doesn't work. I called them back and didn't work again. It is a nightmare so far. Terrible customer service.

Dr Passalaqua is a wonderful, kind and compassionate Doctor. He is thorough on finding a solution to your problem and helping you through a difficult diagnosis. Excellent bedside manner and never makes you feel like your taking too much of his time or asking too many questions. Highly recommend Dr P!

I truly like Dr. Passalaqua, but I can no longer go to his office. The billing is a nightmare. I have United healthcare, and I have to submit bills myself. I am given no invoice the day I see him (although they make me pay) I have to call for an invoice days later, and the last three invoices I was given have no service location on the "invoice" so my insurance will not pay it. You guys need some serious process improvement with out of network invoicing. Looking for new ENT.
