They can't bill correctly. They sent me a very confusing bill, when I asked them to explain it because it appeared they billed me for the same things 2x they couldn't. I am not happy with them at all.

I found Dr. Allegra professional, caring and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend him to my family and friends. He has performed a number of procedures from snoring to a brow lift and I have been extremely happy with all the results.

I thought I was going in for a minor procedure but ended up having extensive surgery for what I now understand to be no good reason. It turned out the chronic cough was not due to sinus problems at all - it was GERD. It did not improve with surgery but did improve with Prilosec. The MRI or whatever showed minimal evidence of sinusitus. Now I have what some people refer to as an "empty nose" - no more turbinates. After 4 years I continue to need painkillers at times. When I asked Allegra after the surgery he said that turbinates are not necessary. I normally would have gotten a second opinion, but he said that this was a very minor procedure. I gave Allegra a big frown and 1 point on helpfulness because he has harmed me, and a big smiley face and 5 points for service and knowledge. The staff ushered me in for surgery right away. After all, I have very good insurance. In terms of knowledge - Allegra deserves 10 stars! He knows *exactly* what he is doing.

Dr. Allergra recommended Somaplasty to remove my sleep apenea and snoring. It never worked! I still have my sleep apnea and I snore louded than before.

2 years ago,I received a diagnosis on a thyroid nodule that it was indicative of papillary carcinoma.It was a scary time for me.I was referred to Dr. Allegra for a thyroidectomy.I felt peace with him immediately. He was confident,but not overly so, and was compassionate and kind.The day of the surgery went exactly as he'd said it would.The surgery was
complete and I headed home.He'd told me that I may not need more than ibuprofen-he was right.There was very minimal pain-a little discomfort.What most amazed me, though, was the almost absence of a scar.
Within 6 months, you could see only the slightest scar.Now,people have to be told that there is a scar to see it-and, even then,it requires squinting.Dr. Allegra is the total package when it comes to doctors. He's caring,
he's confident, and he's very skilled. I'm so thankful that he is the doctor that I was referred to-I couldn't have asked for a more positive experience in the midst of such a difficult situation.

I had the somnoplasty procedure...my snoring was medium at best and bothered my wife, so I went with the procedure. After proclaiming a high 90's% success rate, I plopped down my money. After 4 procedures, plus removal of my uvula, I had virtually no change in my snoring. I asked for my money back, but nope. By the way, they say somnoplasty is virtually a pain free procedure. It wasn't the case with me. I also swelled up big time and could hardly sleep after the first treatment. With no fix from Dr. Alegra, I ended up going to my dentist who suggested a custom mouth piece to keep the lower jaw from sliding back. Guess what. It worked. Less money; less pain.

Dr Allegra is very knowledgeable and courteous with his staff and patients. I have seen him a few times for medical issues and have always been satisfied with his level of professionalism.

It's very sad that a doctor would perform unnecessary surgery, then be uncaring about the unsatisfactory outcome. I wish I would have just said 'No'. I saw this doctor on a TV news health segament (after my surgery), I couldn't believe it was the same man! On tv he seemed so caring, so 'involved'. It is all about the $money$. It usually is. FIRST DO NO HARM.

Dr. Allegra was only interested in signing my child up for surgery. Unnecessary surgergy. He is only about money and not about care. They lost my paperwork so billing was messed up. On the day of my appointment I waited almost one hour (I was on time, they were late) with a sick 9 year old. AVOID THIS DOC!
