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.

I had two surgeries performed by Dr. Piazza and was extremely impressed with his knowledge, care and the outcomes of the surgery. Highly recommend.

I never write reviews, literally this is my first one, but I will make an exception for Dr. Piazza and his staff. Absolutely horrendous! Lady up front was super rude, condescending in tone, and the doctor was ill-prepared to have an intelligent conversation with me based upon my specific condition. He was rambling on-and-on about nothing specific to my case and made me feel like he could care less about what was going on with me. No, this guy will not be cutting me open. I gladly paid the $165 consultation fee to never see him or his staff again. Atrocious!

WOW. I am reeling from the audacity this man has for his patients. Horrible bedside manner. In 2 minutes tried to diagnose me with an extremely broad diagnosis. He came off extremely annoyed, and that something was bothering him. It’s not right he emulates such awful persona to HIS PATIENTS! SHAME ON YOU!

Dr. Piazza did a great job with my balloon sinus surgery. It was in his office and included minimal to moderate pain, but completely manageable as I was awake. 5 months later, I have had some congestion in my nose at times leading to coughing and mucus in my throat. However, it is so much better and less frequent than it previously was. He is also a very nice doctor and great to work with. He made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process for someone who is queasy.

Dr Piazza has seen all our children (From Tonsil's to Broken Noses to Strep throat & every thing in between). He is a very understanding, friendly Dr. He listen's to you,, will answer any questions you have & has never once been in a rush with us. . Yes I'd def recommend Dr Piazza to Friends & Family.

I wouldnt EVER recommend this dr to anyone. After my deviated septum and ballon sinus surgery, he left me with a crooked nose and pain. I told him something was wrong and I was dismissed and prescribed antibiotics. Went to a new ent to find out I had nasal valve collapse and a staph infection from surgery and had to be on strong antibiotics for six months. He used an old Ct scan as well when prepping for my surgery. I had to pay a plastic surgeon to fix my nose. This dr is UNETHICAL!

It seemed as though I was getting a rote answer and although I had questions, I was being rushed out the door and given a brochure. He did not have access to my CT scan itself, rather just the report and he seemed trigger happy to rush into surgery. Maybe he has done this a million times, but this was my first time. Additionally, the room I was taken to had multiple larger dead bugs in the fixture. The whole experience was uncomfortable.

Doc has operated both my husband and myself very successfully. He removed a tumor from my husband's neck that if done poorly would have left him with a droopy face. Years later he removed a very large tumor on my right thyroid. It had gone under my collarbone and was starting to wrap around my carotid artery. He saved me and left me with a scar that is almost invisible. When we brought our infant son into the ER with a high fever He saved him from a tracheostomy. Dr. Piazza is a rock star.

If you need ask questions and express your concerns, do not consider this doctor. Very autocratic. Staff is also distance and very official.

My son has been having some sinus issues for the last few years . I finally decided to take him to see a ENT doctor . My neighbor highly recommended Dr Piazza to me and I'm so happy we saw him . From the first visit he knew exactly what my son needed . Beginning of August my son Mitch had sinus surgery and has never felt so good ! No more pressure and he can breath so well ! Thanks Dr Piazza !! You are the best ! Helen

Within the next 6 weeks I was getting a fowl smell hr pulled packing out of my L side of my nose and left me w a MRSA INFECTION and never charted that he found it - DONT GO TO HIM !! Unethical and more worried about getting his money !!!
