Very nice experience. Dr. Alessi was very attentive and charming. The office staff was the same. I can highly recommend them.
April 20, 2022Richard C.Verified patient
As always it was easy to book online. I tend to park around the neighborhood and walk a few blocks to his office to enjoy the day, more. His staff greats from the valet, Foyer? reception, ? the TV in the elevator, walking through the open door,, greeted by friendly competent staff. The numbing cream takes 15-20 and then I grit and bare the quick precise instructions to my face and neck. Following a ice pack to go………on my way out I tend to leave out the back for privacy.

Dr. Alessi and his staff were terrific with my 12 year old son. Next time I need an ENT, he's going to be my first choice!

I am very confident in Dr Alessi because he didn’t cut into my face, even though that’s where the money is. He said no. He showed me a longer cheaper route. With injections to reduce scar tissue.
March 17, 2022Rebecca M.Verified patient
Dr. Alessi is very welcoming and politely soft spoken. You’l sit in a patient chair while you wait or look out the window down Wilshire Blvd. He is very careful to listen to what you are wanting and will assess the possibility. Leaving you happy with your results.
December 20, 2021Rebecca M.Verified patient
Would definitely visit again.

February 18, 2021David P.Verified patient
The doctor was very rushed and did not take much time to explain or examine, but was friendly and helpful. He would leave and re-enter the room so not the most attentive service.

Dr. Alessi saw me very quickly after I had arrived, before I was even finished filling out the new patient forms. He was very jovial and warm despite the current tense environment that coronavirus has caused. I would definitely go back to this office again.

Not only a fantastic doctor whom I'd recommend to everyone but also a very warm person. He really listened to me and took time to explain exactly what was going on and how we will solve the problem. Thank you very much Dr Alessi!
November 27, 2018Dario C.Verified patient
Dr. Alessi was AWESOME! Great vibes and a fun sense of humor led to a relaxed environment which really helped. The staff was nice and friendly. However, the wait time was quite long even after being asked to change my appointment time. Other than that, great experience!
More than 1 year agoOscar F.Verified patient
I went to see Dr. David because I found a small lump on the right side of my neck, and occasionally got minor ear pain. Dr. David throughly checked me and answered my questions. He is very professional and super helpful. Definitely recommend.

Dr. Alessi was awesome my ma only speaks Spanish and Dr. Alessi made the effort of talking to her in Spanish which I highly appreciate that made my ma feel that she was being understood and felt more comfortable the lady on the front named Matea was really sweet and professional and patience. I know my ma is getting little by little worse and I just have to keep her comfortable but finding people that really care and take their time to listen to their patient is priceless. Thank you Dr. Alessi and Matea :) sorry if I misspelled your name :)

Dr Alessi is the consummate professional. Thank
More than 1 year agoRichard L.Verified patient
Great! Dr. was thorough, looked through my past medical records and asked many questions to understand the background. Was blunt and straightforward about my need for a repeat surgery, and recommended other drs for other areas (such as allergies) to make sure that we can be on top of things to make this the last surgery I will ever need. Very thorough, concise, and discussed what future treatment will be like. Great!
July 7, 2018Nicholas H.Verified patient
Dr. Alessi is great! He listened to all of my concerns and I felt confident after leaving that all of them will be taken care of. His staff is very friendly. I will definitely return.
April 9, 2018Kimani K.Verified patient
MADE ME LOOK INTO A MIRROR AND SAY OUTLOUD THE FEATURES I WOULD CHANGE. No woman or man should feel insecure or not beautiful. He left me feeling very uncomfortable. Didn’t look me in the eye, told me everything I should change with his procedures (which I didn’t ask for), rushed appointment, and aloof manor. I will not be returning.

First impression was very positive.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
I took my four month old son to see Dr. Alessi because he had what appeared to be a cough and congestion for over 3 months. It sounded like there was liquid in his lungs. I had seen four different pediatricians about the issue, all of whom told me my son had a cold and should be on antibiotics. Within 15 minutes, Dr. Alessi diagnosed my son with something that isn't serious and he will outgrow in less than a year. It's comforting to know my baby doesn't have a serious health condition. Dr. Alessi is very kind, personable and efficient. I highly recommend him.
June 5, 2017Walter B.Verified patient
Doctor Alessi assisted me with what I felt was an emergency with my ears, and was careful, kind, and thorough. He put me at ease, and worked with me, even though I didn't have insurance. I paid out of pocket, and it was a life saver for me.
More than 1 year agoJorge O.Verified patient
He was amazing. Super bedside manor and didn't have me waiting. He knew right away about my nose infection and made me feel comfortable.
November 27, 2016Elizabeth I.Verified patient
I loved Dr. Alessi. He quickly understood what was going on, didn't try to "sell" me anything like other doctors, and made me feel like he was totally available in the future if and when I needed. He also was easy to talk to.

Very nice staff and office. He was professional and personable. I am having a minor procedure, so I felt even with a small problem he gave it his full attention.
September 2, 2015Vida C.Verified patient
I think he is a good doctor, but I had to wait for 50 minutes to see him. My appointment was at 8:30 a.m. and I came in at approximately 8:33 a.m. and I had to wait until 9:20 a.m. to see him.
There was an excuse that my insurance wasn't going through and I told the front dsk repeatedly that I would pay cash for the appointment.
Just very disrespectful to me when I have to wait for 50 minutes, when I am one of the first appointments in the day. I would understand 20 minute wait, but 50 minutes. I hate writing bad reviews too. I think he is a fine doctor, but the person that schedules his appointments should be fired.
I told the front desk that I had to go to work, but they just really didn't care. At this point it is a toss up, he is a good doctor, but just very disrespectful to me and himself, by making people wait so long.
June 22, 2015Michael S.Verified patient
My visit is moving forward with testing, however they claim that you never notified them that I made an apt at 0845 /Feb 2 online, which u changed to 12:30p Feb 2. They have no record of either appt, but they fit me in anyway as I brought all of my emails from U confirming appts. That is truly bedside manner! Thank U Dr. Alessi
It's a good thing that I called to confirm . I never took the gift u offered me for changing appts and any inconveniences. I said No Thank u. Now that I know how poorly things were handled I shud have asked for 2 gifts- one for me, one for the Dr.

If its you're first visit allow time to sort out the parking and oneway streets as the area is a bit tricky. The visit itself was fantastic. The women in the office were friendly and caring. Dr. Alessi was thorough and pleasant. The office is beautiful. They even took a minute to inform me I hadn't reached my deductible and told me how much the procedure would cost and gave me the option to forego it without making me feel uncomfortable discussing finances vs. health. The office called in my prescription and I drove straight to the pharmacy from my appointment and it was already ready for me.
I was late for my appointment (I hate being late! Waze sent me a bit wrong and then the traffic and the one-ways derailed me) but the staff still fit me in and I felt cared for.
I just relocated so its great to know I have a great new doctor!

I saw Dr. Alessi this morning, and although our actual time together was short [I was in a hurry to get back to work as well, so it worked out for me], his staff was just terrific, and I loved the fact that I could complete new patient forms online via the zocdoc website. My whole experience was fast, clean and just so professional!
February 26, 2014Holly G.Verified patient
The doctor was very nice and I felt like I was in good hands. He did a simple test that another doctor never took the time to do, and it gave me peace of mind. The front desk staff were also super friendly and warm.
