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.

Postnasal drip cleared with Neuromark
I was struggling with postnasal drip. I would wake up each morning stuffed up to the point where I had to breathe through my mouth. I would also experience my nose running throughout the day. Dr. Grimaldi told me about the Neuromark procedure, and I was happy to have it done. He completed the procedure and told me that over the coming months, I would see an improvement in my symptoms, which has happened. I now have no problems with my nose running, or stuffiness. Thank you, Dr. Grimaldi, for recommending this procedure, and completing it for me so well. I appreciate all of the care and concern that you show for your patients. You're the BEST.

Excellent ENT AND plastic surgeon
Dr. Grimaldi recently performed a septoplasty and upper blepharoplasty and I’m very happy with the results. He corrected my deviated septum and I can now breath through my nose again. Not wanting to waste good anesthesia, I had him do an upper blepharoplasty at the same time. He shaved a few years off my face by removing excess skin from my droopy eyelids. It was an easy outpatient procedure and pretty reasonably priced for the cosmetic work not covered by insurance. My recovery was easy, painless, and with no complications.Dr. Grimaldi is a great surgeon with an excellent bedside manner, and I’d recommend him to anyone.

We have many doctors in our family and I have to say that he is one of the best doctor I have ever met. He takes the time to patience and I would call him 100%. I recommend anybody that has a nose is in throat issue or allergies to definitely see him.

Need new surgery scheduler.
Loved the doctor - however my daughter's surgery was cancelled TWICE because the staff couldn't get the insurance right. Had to continuously call. Never received any calls from this office. Had a friend try to schedule surgery for 2 months and never received any call. She finally decided to go elsewhere. Surgery for my daughter still postponed after 6 weeks.

You're in Good Hands ...
I have been seeing Dr Grimaldi going on three years now. My ability to breathe comfortably has improved more in this time than in the preceeding 60 years. While we were both frustrated at times treating my depressingly complicated condition, Dr. G never gave up. This is a story of success. Treatment success is what you are seeking, isn't it? It's what we all are seeking. It's why we all come here. For help. From Dr. Salvatore Grimaldi...

Above & Beyond Successful Parotid Gland Surgery
Dr. Grimaldi is amazing and such a master of his profession! I was so scared to have parotid gland surgery, especially due to the facial nerve preservation involved and stitches that were needed around my ear and neck areas. However, Dr. Grimaldi was always one step ahead calming my fears. He also took great care to make sure I experienced optimum results overall. I was relieved to find out very quickly the mass he removed was benign. The icing on the cake was having an ENT/head, neck, plastic surgeon like Dr. Grimaldi. Not only was he kind and thoughtful throughout the process, but he was incredibly skilled in the tedious surgery he performed -- I'll barely see a trace of it when I'm totally healed because he didn't want me to have a visual memory of the whole traumatic situation and because he's so mindful about aesthetics. My facial nerves are in tact (I'm smiling ear to ear at this moment because I'm feeling so fortunate). I'm beyond grateful to Dr. Grimaldi and his team!

I was in a situation that I wasn't able to fly home due to ear issues. I was stuck in FL for three weeks. After explaining my situation his staff gave me last app't for the day- Friday afternoon. He told me what needed to be done and LUCKILY- the audiologist was still in her office and offered to give me a hearing test- which then allowed Dr. Grimaldi to insert a tube in my ear. I flew home that Sunday!!! Thank you! for caring and going above & beyond!

Dr. Grimaldi is an amazing doctor. I’ve been dealing with tonsil stones for years, and finally decided to see a doctor about it. First I was prescribed a mouthwash medication of sorts to see if that would treat it, but then I realized my tonsils were enlarged as well and wanted to have them removed, since the initial treatment didn’t work. Dr. Grimaldi agreed to a tonsillectomy for me, and despite all the horror stories I’ve heard about adult tonsillectomies, (I know the pain differs from person to person) the experience went very well due to his skilled work. He helped me with any questions I had during the tonsillectomy recovery process and I felt re-assured. I’m very glad I decided to go through with it. Highly recommend Dr. Grimaldi for any of your ear/nose/throat issues.

K.E. – Mar 09, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Grimaldi?
Dr. Grimaldi is very skilled as an ENT. Great at diagnosis. He is conservative with his approach and will try everything he can to prevent surgery. I have a deviated septum that block the one side and he told me surgery would correct this and my airflow would be 100% better on that side and that I would not get sinus infections as easily. Even knowing this we tried the conservative approach of allergy shots, singulair/montelukast paired with an antihistamine (Claritin) and Flonase nasal spray. This made my sinuses livable enough for me, so no surgery and better quality of life. When I get the occasional sinus infection I can get in within a week or two but Dr. Grimaldi will usually proscribe antibiotics for me right away, so I don't suffer before seeing him. This works because I am familiar with sinus infections and also the medication that works for me. Works everytime. Thanks Dr. Grimaldi!

DR. GRIMALDI IS A LIFESAVER. I had my adenoids removed and my deviated septum fixed, along with turbinate reduction five days ago. I was constantly questioning whether I should just live it, because I was scared of complications and pain. He stood by as I had my indecisiveness and reassured me that it would be improving my quality of life. 5 days later, and here I am, so happy I could cry... and the best part is, I can properly blow my nose afterwards He is the guy you want for your surgery! Most caring, experienced, and genuine doctor ever. Last but not least, the smells of the world are beautiful, and I can freely smell and hear and breathe. It’s a whole other world, you will NOT regret it! Yes it is worth it, but if you want it done right for sure, this is who you go to. He’s AMAZING. worth every penny.

My daughter recently had a Rhinoplasty, Submucous Resection and Septoplasty performed by Dr. Grimaldi and to say that he exceeded our expectations is an understatement. My daughter was is in competitive cheer and as a base was practicing one of her stunts when her flyer fell on her face. I rushed her to the hospital and had a CT scan and found out that she had a bilateral nasal bone fracture. She was scheduled for surgery 2 days later. I was extremely nervous about the surgery and especially nervous about putting her down under anesthesia. Dr. Grimaldi took his time to explain all the procedures in detail and provided the comfort and reassurance I needed that my daughter would be ok. It’s been 2 months since the surgery and we could not be happier. Her nose looks amazing and her breathing has improved tremendously. Dr Grimaldi is an ethical professional with a comforting bedside manner who provides the upmost care from the beginning to the end. I highly recommend him!

Dr Grimaldi was able to help me when two other ENT doctors could not. I received a CT scan right in his office and he showed me why my previous surgery failed and I still couldn’t breathe! He showed me that my Nasal Valve was collapsing and fixed it in his office ! I can finally breathe. I have also received an allergy test that we are working on together. Thank you, I highly recommend him to anyone that wants help. He is the doc for the job!

Dr. Grimaldi is so incredibly kind and caring. He has always taken the time to listen and has gone above and beyond what anyone else has done for us during my wifes cancer diagnosis. He never gave up on us! The CT and MRI were normal, but he persisted in getting a biopsy and found what two other doctors and the MRI and CT missed. His staff is wonderful! Thank You Heather for all of the phone calls. I can't Thank You enough for taking such good care of my wife and my family.

My Mother fell and fractured her nose over the weekend. She saw her PCP Monday morning and he called Dr. Grimaldi and he had us come right in. He actually waited for us to drive from Jupiter to his WPB office to be seen. He examined my mother and explained everything to her so she and my Dad understood. He was able to fix her nose right there in the office without her having to go under General anesthesia. He has an incredible bedside manner and is very proficient in his work. Excellent office!
