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.

All about the money- orders unnecessary tests and services must be paid for up front.

I had nasal polyps for years lost smell and taste . Life was miserable . This was my first surgery. Dr. Clerico and his staff made me very comfortable during the whole process. It has been almost a month since my procedure and I can smell again and taste. I can honestly say my quality of life has changed. I would recommend Dr. Clerico to anyone . Even down to the wait time when you come for an appointment . I’ve been to the office 5 times and never waited longer then 10 minutes to see the doctor. Another thing I liked is that Dr. Clerico is very down to earth and friendly. The vibe you get when your in the visit makes you relaxed. I am very grateful for all of the people who have helped me after years of dealing with nasal polyps and sinus infections. Thank you very much and god bless

Struggled with allergies since childhood. Shots only lasted a few months. Went to Valley ENT, treated by Dr Clerico. Started immune therapy. Saw results in 2 weeks ! Testing is extensive & recommendations specific to your results. Have recommended him to several friends. Always a good outcome.

If your that stupid in your understanding of human sexuality then you must be just as stupid in your understanding of otolaryngology. When you leave town I'll be happy to help you move and will make sure your next employer is well informed and reads your brilliant letter. And I'm not even gay! DR. Alan Frank 570-371-1324 Kingston PA. Please confirm that you received this by phone.

First, the reception answered the phone by saying, "Can you hold please?" Then after waiting on hold, I find out that the office is 2-weeks out for accepting new patients, even though the site says ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS.
