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.

Good but surprised at Oxycodone dosage
Dr Malone is a very good doctor. Very personable, explains things well. However, when my 17 yr old had her tonsils removed, he prescribed 10mg of oxycodone. After a couple days I felt like something was strange. And it wasn't until a friend asked what dosage she was on, and when I told her she said that is a high dosage. So no wonder my daughter got hooked right away! She came to me right on the hour for her next dose asking for her med. Not for pain- for the high! I could see when she was truly in pain vs just wanting the pill for how it made her feel high. I was very upset that he didn't even first try a lower dose- especially since he and the nurses all warned me about how highly addictive this is. So why start out so high? Even at 197lbs.. she's a teen- never had this before. I had to cut the dosage in half and ween her off this and lock everything up.

Dr. Malone, is caring and gentle. He took his time with me and answered all of my questions. I see him every 3 months for wax build up due to wearing hearing aids. Front and back staff are very friendly. Helen

I find Dr Malone a very caring ENT, he listens to you. He was the first ENT to do a test regarding my vertigo. A week ago he took time to schedule me in to check the nose pain I was having. I appreciate him and his staff.

I saw Dr. Malone in 7/2017 for severe bilateral hearing loss and congestion. I found him to be attentive, empathetic & knowledgeable. He did a thorough examination & explained, in detail, his medical observations, suggesting that I have a temporary tube placed in my left ear. I agreed & the procedure was completed. This enabled me to hear quite well by the same evening! I will have a f/u appt. in 2/2018. Incredibly, I still am able to hear at almost 7 months’ post tube insertion!!

re: tinnitus only: This is an ENT operating on the usual outdated information. Performed all the usual tests but can actually offer no help because woefully untrained to do so. Prescribed steroids for no reason other than 'customary,' The only thing this office knows about modern TRT is a handout that mentions one line about it. Rudely refer you to upstairs hearing aid folks who claim to provide TRT but actually know nothing/are also untrained/provide ZERO counseling/cause harm not help. AVOID!
