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.

Very Pleased With Results
I am very happy with University Head and Neck Associates.Dr. Joseph Allegretti took proper care and diligence to diagnose some sinus and related balance issues. He patiently listened to my symptoms, asked questions, did an exam, and then explained how and why the issues surfaced. Next, he explained the options for further exams and treatment. The end results were very good; no more balance issues and greatly reduced sinus problems.

Visit on June 24, 2024
I have been a patient of Dr. Allegretti for 6 years, I followed him after he left Rush University Medical center. I am being treated for chronic sinusitis. Dr. A. Is very personable and patient, he explains treatment to me in language that I can understand. He doesn’t rush through my treatment and answers all my questions. His P.A. Jacob, is very kind and friendly, he doesn’t hesitate to give me tips on things that can help my condition. The medical assistants and front desk staff are friendly as well. I recommend this practice to anyone that has the need to see an ENT specialist

I have been a patient of Dr. Allegretti and his practice for over 15 years. I had seen numerous other providers for sinus issues as I had gone without my sense of smell or taste along with severe congestion for years. Dr. Allegretti knew exactly what was going on and how to give me back my sense of smell and taste again. I was able to go off of all of my OTC medications that I had relied on. Dr. Allegretti took time to listen and I never felt rushed. Offices are clean and staff is friendly and thorough. Would highly recommend.

I went in for a bump on my tonsil and they performed a nasal endoscopy which was not needed or requested. My part of the bill was well over $200 for this unnecessary test. When I call and leave a message, my call is not returned. When I was finally able to talk to Tina in Billing, I'm told that they do this for all new patients. I could understand if that's what I came in for but it wasn't. This seems to me like an insurance and patient scam. And now I have to pay for this and they misdiagnosed the bump on my tonsil. A waste of money and time. It makes me sad that they get away with this.

I have been fortunate to be in the care of Dr. Allegretti for over 20 years and have recommended him to over 10 friends and family over the years who also have been equally thankful for his excellent care. He is the best in his field and cares deeply for his patients, as does his entire staff from the front desk to his PA. From my first appointment, through my surgery to remove a sinus cyst that had been left untreated by my previous ENT, to the continued maintenance care of regular Chemical Cauterizations I can't say enough about his expertise and care.

I have been a patient of Dr. Allegretti for several years. I have always had excellent rapport with his staff. I recently sought a second opinion and visited another ENT. What I discovered was that Dr. Allegretti and his staff is the best show in town. No need to look further.

This is simply my experience based on my Mom's appointment. We didn't even see the doctor and this was my experience with their downers grove location and office staff. I made the appointment for my mom. Got them the referral too since my mom has HMO insurance. I also gave them all her insurance details from get go. They must have called me 6 to 7 times to confirm the appointment. On the day of the appointment, when we were at their offices, they told us that he is not a part of her network so he will not be covered by insurance and we will need to pay out of pocket. obviously we left without even seeing the doctor. What a waste of time and what was frustrating was that they never told us this before but decided to clarify everything just before our appointment. I will try my best to avoid this practice not because of the doctors but because of their staff.
