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.

To cover up error he lied on the surgical report
A post op MRI proved Deconde lied on the surgical report to cover up his diagnoses for an unnessasary surgery.I met with 3 other local ENTs all verified Decondes surgical report, nor his pre and post op charting d matched my issue (was simple infection).Deconde is clearly an insurance scammer with no integrity nor medical ethics.

dismissive
I did not feel seen/heard, he gave me the impression that he did not care when I had an HMO and it took a lot for me to gain approval for see this 'doctor' outside of my network for help. His office never followed up with me after I was dismissed from my initial visit with him. Very disappointed with the lack of compassion/care for one whom is suffering and desperately seeking help.

Dr. DeConde performed my turbinate reduction. This resulted in two complications – a perforated septum and a blocked tear duct that required a follow-up surgical procedure with another surgeon to address. My tear duct drainage is currently at about 80-90% of original function and will never be completely the same. When I asked Dr. DeConde why my procedure resulted in these two complications, he was unable to explain, though seemed to be genuinely concerned. Obviously, I would not work with Dr. DeConde again.

ive had complete repitory failure, over 10 trips to the ER this year, and a chronic cough for over 5 years. I have had Mri cT scans been told i have advanced COPD Asthema, chronic broncitas pneumonia, seem by several pulmanologista and finally Dr DeConde. He performed a 4 hour surgery to remove severe polyps and blocked sinus passages. 1 week post op and zero issues with coughing or breathing, zero pain and i can smell taste and even see better. my circulation in my legs improved considerably, i have a new life no snoring or dry mouth, excercise is now something i can do. im not coughing until i throw up after meals and feel better than i have in ten years. this surgeon gave me a life back. Melissa in the office and the Dr Black who put me under trated me with love and respect. you gave a family back a husband dad son and brother. God blessed me and may he bless this great team as wel.the Pacu nurses are the very kind and treated me very kindly

Dr. Deconde performed surgery on me to remove a nasal polyp and correct a deviated septum. He is definitely one of the best doctors I have ever been to. His initial exam and diagnosis were much more thorough than the other ENT I had gone to for an initial consult. Dr. Deconde was both very professional and personable, and he was more than willing to answer all my questions in a detailed way. I would highly recommend him!

I was suffering from a short term sinus problem from having a tooth pulled that damaged my sinus. Dr. DeConde was recommended to me by my normal ENT. After my first visit, I can say I felt comfortable and followed through with having surgery. After Surgery I could breathe so much better. I would safely and honestly say i would allow him to work on any of my family and friends. Very professional and respectful man. 5 stars without hesitation.

Dr. Adam is amazing. He brought back my joy and life. I was suffering from giant nasal polyps for more than 12 years! I could not breath, smell, sleep and eat like any normal human been. I had unsuccessful and painful procedure in 1996 and my situation became worse. Finally I was lucky when Dr. Adam decided to perform my surgery. Here is what happen: When I woke up, I could not tell if I had surgery! No pain at all. And I start enjoying every single Breath. He is the best ENT, l ever known.
