I made an appointment on Zocdoc and was contacted by the receptionist shortly thereafter the same day indicating the time wasn’t available and I was rescheduled to another day and time. On that day I arrived for my appointment. 1 1/2 hours later I was still waiting to see the MD. Everyone in the packed waiting room was informed that the MD had two emergencies that morning. I was next to be seen but needed to leave for work so I said I would call to reschedule. Normally, at that point I’d find another doctor but, being in the health care field myself, I was getting “vibes” from his patients and the staff that Dr. Alleva was an exceptional doctor so I decided to give him another chance and made another appointment. On that day, I was seen at my appointment time. I met with the doctor who was willing to listen to my two issues of concern. Dr. Alleva scheduled me for a hearing test and the audiologist was extremely thorough. I also was given a blood test for allergies. I then met with Dr. Alleva again who spoke to me about the next steps he wanted to take to take including a CT scan of the nasal passages and a trial of steroids to see how the issue responded to steroids and, if positive, how long the relief remained. Dr. asked me to schedule a follow up appointment. The front desk said they would get insurance approval for the CT scan and notify me the next day. Finally I found an ENT who is taking my symptoms seriously and trying to learn about the cause of the problem instead of just treating the symptoms.
