ENT Specialists Serving Monmouth, Ocean and Beyond

Thought that I may have swallowed a chicken bone Tuesday night during dinner. Decided to call Coastal ENT in Holmdel and fortunately was able to get an appointment with Dr. Patel yesterday afternoon. I was greeted by the front desk and sat in their luxurious waiting area until I was called by one of the medical assistants who verified the information that I entered into Coastal's Patient Portal. Dr. Patel asked what had happened, which I explained and thoroughly examined my neck, throat and nostrils. He then explained that in order to fully see if anything was, in fact, stuck in my throat he would need to go through my nostril with a flexible tube and camera. He thoroughly examined the impacted area and fortunately his examination showed that there was nothing stuck, which was a huge relief. Dr. Patel did, however, see evidence of acid reflux, which I know I suffer from and advised me to take my existing medications for the next couple of weeks to clear it up.Overall, my experience with Dr. Patel was outstanding. He clearly excels at his profession, explains what he is doing and why, is very thorough and possesses outstanding interpersonal skills. Also, Dr. Patel’s medical assistant, Jessica, was also very nice and helpful.I highly recommend Dr. Patel and this practice.
