Where do I begin??? Our 17 year old daughter has had numerous vertigo attacks over the past two years. We took our daughter here three times for these attacks. The appointments always ended with an Epley maneuver. This past visit, our daughter had her worst attack. After getting home from the ER, we called to get an appointment. We waited over a week to get her on the schedule, even after I explained how sick she was. We arrived to see a physician assistant? She was very nice, but had to leave numerous times to ask Dr. Falcone what to do. They barely listened to her symptoms. Once again, it ended with a useless Epley maneuver. They ordered a MRI, scheduled for two weeks later. Upon checkout, we received the paperwork from the appointment. Her symptoms were not even noted correctly and her medications were over two years old. Our daughter woke up the next day with another vertigo attack. We returned to have Dr. Falcone spend literally five minutes with our daughter. He barely listened to her symptoms. At this point, our daughter could not walk without assistance, she had double vision, and weakness on her right side. He entered the room, barely looked at her, and proceeded to hand her at home exercises to do..... We didn’t need these for a third time. He was ready to send her home. I became upset and told him something was clearly wrong. He said they had ordered an MRI and that’s all they could do. I explained that our daughter was so sick that she missed her final two weeks of school and her final exams. That’s a big deal for our daughter, considering she’s a straight A student in her junior year. Something needs to be done. He thought that was interesting considering, “wow, I’ve never even given out a doctors note to miss a day of school or work with a vertigo attack” in a very sarcastic matter. My daughter proceeded to get upset, with tears streaming down her face. He turned to her and stated “well, let’s see if we can move up the MRI since you are so upset.” He then said “there are other treatments available, but you aren’t that bad, so I doubt you would qualify.” Hmmmm.... he then told my VERY scared 17 year old daughter, “I wouldn’t worry about the MRI, I seriously doubt you have a tumor or Multiple sclerosis since they are very rare, and you don’t seem to have the symptoms. Don’t start giving your things away yet.” He then proceeded to chuckle. YES, he said that.... I was in shock and disgusted. They moved up the MRI and the results are that my precious 17 year old daughter has 13 lesions on her brain, and a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. The neurologist believes she’s probably had it for a couple of years and it has progressed probably to her spine. We have a second MRI tomorrow to find out. If he had only listened two years ago, we could have prevented further lesions and improved her chances of being better. They can’t reverse the damage done. If you value your health and the health of your loved ones, do not go to Dr. Falcone. He’s arrogant should work on having a better bedside manner and go back to school and learn how to do his job better.

I saw Dr Falcone for the first time a week before Christmas. I had been one to experience severe allergies with no relief from antihistimines or nasal sprays snce I was about 4 years old. I had been to many allergists who told me I had a small breathing space in my nostril which becomes inflamed, but Dr Falcone was the first to explain to me that there was a procedure and it was the Septoplasty and turbinate reduction that would prove to be a life saver for me. Immediately following my surgery, I did struggle to learn to breathe through my mouth its a psychological thing. The first week was uncomfortable because of the drainage, but there was swelling to be expected however, no pain. His staff were there 24/7 for any questions and concerns and were very patient with me. It has been a few weeks since the procedure and I can smell, I can even feel air and use my left nostril which I have never been able to do.

I have been to him a couple times about an ear issue. He is very kind, funny, personable and professional. He makes you feel at ease when he talks to you. He is an excellent doctor and is still working with me about my ear. Thank you Dr. Falcone and staff.

I am not one to write reviews on people but I had to write praise for Dr. Falcone. I had dealt with problems breathing and sleeping and I was always fatigued and after putting it off for over a year I finally decided to do something about it. From the very beginning, Dr. Falcone was very helpful in helping me learn that I had about 90% blockage in my deviated septum and the procedure it was going to take to fix this. He helped me understand what was going to go on during and what to expect after surgery. Now after a month removed from my surgery, I am happy to say I have much more energy, I am sleeping so much better and I am able to smell again and breathe like a person should be able to. I am very thankful for Dr. Falcone. He was always friendly and made me feel at ease with going thru with this type of surgery. I will always be grateful to Dr. Falcone and would highly recommend him to anyone needing deviated septum surgery.

Dr. Falcone was an incredible doctor and surgeon. I got my deviated septum fixed and he did a turbinate reduction. His bed side manner was fantastic. Was very knowledgable and reassuring and did not "force" me into surgery. It has been over a year since my surgery and I have not had any problems or sinus infections (used to get them monthly).
