"Dr. Seth McAfee at Coastal ENT changed my life for the better! I struggled with hearing issues in one of my ears for years! After he did the surgery with no pain afterwords whatsoever my hearing returned to how it used to be before i started having issues for nearly 8 years! This man is a gem of a doctor so if you ever need to see an ear doctor for any reason or if you need a surgery do not even hesitate if you are thinking of going with someone else! THANK YOU DR. MCAFEE!"

"I experienced professional and patient care"
"I’ve had chronic sinus congestion for some time now. In recent years, it had been getting worse and about three years ago I decided to seek medical intervention. I could function during the day but could barely pass air through my nose at night. 4-5 hours of sleep was about all I could muster and that was taking its toll.I found a large ENT practice with an office in Shrewsbury and started there. More than two years and multiple visits later, including a $10k turbinate reduction surgery at Monmouth Medical, zero relief. It was as if I had never set foot in their office. I was angry that so much time and my insurance company’s money was wasted on ineffective treatments.I stumbled on Coastal ENT and started over with Dr Shargorodsky. He got right to the point with a CT scan to find out WHY I could breathe through my nose. Imagine that. The practice in Shrewsbury never even suggested such an investigatory step.I had septoplasty surgery a few weeks ago and while I’m still healing, I’m already experiencing dramatic improvements. I can breathe so much easier now and I’m actually getting eight hours of sleep every night! Anyone who has experienced chronic sleep deprivation can tell you that’s huge.My positive experience doesn’t stop with Dr Shargorodsky. Every member of the Coastal ENT staff was excellent, from the front desk people to the surgical coordinator, to the surgical team, they all impressed me as competent and professional every step of the way. That’s rare in my experience.If you have the need for an ENT provider, I strongly recommend Coastal ENT. My only regret is not finding them sooner."
"The experience begins with the professional and caring people at the reception desk."

I am very satisfied with the care I am getting."

"On time, professional and efficient."
"Dr. Goldfarb was very kind and thorough My only issue was my appointment was at 3:30 and I wasn’t seen till 4:30."
"I was seen by Dr. McAfee for a follow-up visit after he put in a drain in my right ear to drain the fluid that had accumulated and so future fluid would not accumulate, so I can hear again in that ear. Because up until he put the drain in my ear I could not hear in that ear cause I was in & out of hospitals and nursing home subacute rehabs for 5-6 months to treat my stage 4 lung cancer and could not get to a ENT Doctor. So glad I finally got seen by Coastal Ear Nose And Throat, Dr. McAfee and highly recommended him."
"Always a completely positive experience. This is one of the most professional organizations around."
"Love this doctor!!!"
"Dr Houston and his staff were terrific..., they cleared my clogged ear canals and gave me my hearing back... I have found my ENT... Thank You"
"I suffered for 25 years with nasal congestion for years, and my life was miserable since I could not sleepI went to number of ENT Dr, with zero luck. That’s until I meet with Dr Shargorodsky. He immediately sent me for a ct scan and found something suspicious in my nasal passages and he prescribed me some antibiotics and within two weeks it completely cleared me.I have my life back and I only have Dr Shargorodsky to thankA big heart felt thank you Dr for letting me breathe again"

I sat in the waiting area for maybe 5 minutes then I was called into the back where I'd be seen by the doctor. I gave the doc's assistant a run down of why I was there and then she said she'd be back with the doctor in a few mins. I waited only a few mins and then they both came in. The doctor assessed me and my situation and gave me a hopeful solution. In and out of Coastal in 20 mins tops. Oh, one more thing... I find their Patient Portal a huge help and very beneficial. Log on and set up your account. You do everything on there... set up or cancel appointments, see test results, diagnoses, prognosis, the doctor's notes, put in a request, see all of your patient info, and so much more!"

"Dr. Houston is a 5+++++++. He was amazing with my child - kind, patient, attentive - everything I could have wanted and more.The facility is new and clean.Up until my experience with the doctor, and in room staff, I'd rate our appointment a 1.There are nine check-in counters. Immediately giving off the impression that we are numbers, not patients. Trying to have a pleasant conversation with the receptionist that yelled, Next!, I was just handed an ipad. No time for small talk or human interactions.There was a larger waiting room with a ton of people and we waited just about an hour.Once we met with the doctor, again, he was amazing.

"I love the entire office - been going to Dr Houston for literally 20 years. Never an issue - he is wonderful as was Dr. Mitskavich. Dr. Macafee is also fabulous and funny. I have had only two issues in 20 years, and they were not with Dr. Houston or Mitskavich. The one time I had Dr. Engel he rushed the visit, and Dr. Bucholtz DEF does not want to be there, or, he hates the elderly. Has no patience with my father EVER. Borders on rude. He needs to check himself and be nicer to old people. If he doesn't like his job, he should go elsewhere. I am going to take my Dad to one of the other doctors there in the future. I don't normally complain, but I've had it with that guy. Just not nice."

"For several years I have known that my hearing was very limited. The most difficult part of having hearing loss is the stress and strain it puts on the family. My wife and kids were always being asked to repeat themselves during conversation, which became frustrating not only for me, but for them as well. Then there is the professional aspect. Sitting in meetings or lectures became impossible. I would not get all the information, and when I was spoken to, most of the time I would not even realize I was being asked a question or asked for input. This brings up the embarrassing part. I have spent several years embarrassed that I was not able to hear especially because of my young age. I've learned to read lips without even realizing I was doing it. Many times in conversation I would laugh just because everyone else was laughing. I have learned to judge moods in conversation, such as watching the facial expressions of the person I'm speaking with for the right tone. Saying things like "Ahh I can't believe that", just because the speaker looked shocked.So what do you do? Well I knew I needed to have my ears checked and I went to the local Miracle-Ear and had them checked. The audiologist told me my hearing was really bad. Really? I did't know that!! So they came up with a program, hearing aids and for a lousy 5 grand you'll be able to hear. So ok I'll bite the bullet and do it. They came in, we did one or two adjustments and I was very uncomfortable. I returned to find out the audiologist no longer works there, so I had to have the aids adjusted by someone else. Then again, and again. Before long I was throwing the aids across the room, more frustrated then not hearing. I went back and told them the aids were not working and I wanted to get rid of them. I was told i could not. So I left the aids on the desk and walked out. After some financial mess, I was charged 500 per aid as a "restocking fee". I explained to my wife I'd rather not hear then to deal with that again.Fast forward a few years my hearing was worst then before and now it was a hazard to my job. Being in law enforcement I have to be able to hear. Again young age, so retirement is not that close. I thought maybe there is a medical reason for the loss and maybe there are professionals that deal with hearing loss, not just some "salesman". So I looked into Coastal Ear, Nose & Throat. What do I have to loose?This is were the review starts. Sorry for the rant. I met Courtney Cieri, Aud, CCC-A. Courtney took me into the familiar booth where I was going to spend the next several minutes raising my hand when I hear the beep. IF I hear the beep. But there was a difference. Courtney was tracking my hearing, or lack thereof. She charted and graphed and did whatever it is she does while sending beeps my way. After it was completed she said to me that she can see where my loss is, and what needs to be done with aids to rectify that. She didn't say my hearing was really bad. We both already where aware of that. She explained in detail everything I didn't know. She was compassionate to my feelings about my struggles with my hearing loss and assured me she could help. She explained all my options. I went against one of her recommendations and she understood my reasons for doing so. She further explained if I had to change up to what she recommended she could do so easily. Now she was selling me aids, don't get me wrong, but she was selling me more of a cure. She was assuring me what the end result would be like. And she was correct. Courtney Cieri is by far the best in her field. Whatever powers that made me try one more time was, I'm glad I did. I highly recommend this life changing experience for anyone with hearing loss. She certainly changed mine. Coastal is lucky to have such an asset."

"Dr. McAfee is an excellent ENT."
"The signing tablets were cool. The Dr was great. The staff follow up was poor. To follow up on this post : I was told I needed a radiologist appt before a follow up visit. Coastal said they would make an appt for me. I followed up twice to see when the appt would be, no answer. I called Coastal a 3rd time and said I still did not hear about the necessary appointment and I would need to postpone my follow up at Coastal due to not seeing the radiologist. Sure enough, I get a $150 bill for missing the cancelled appointment. I liked the Doctor very much but I will continue to tell people I know to avoid their office."
"The doctors here with thorough. Will refer to others."
"Great. Efficient office. TBD doctor was so kind and took time to explain things to me. The assistant and nurses were friendly. Did not give 5 stars because I was told to get there by 2:30 for s 3pm appointment, which I got there before 2:30 & I was not called in to the exam room for an hour."

There are not enough kind words to say about Coastal ENT!"
"Dr ken is amazing..."
"I have been a patient for over 15 yrs. I believe I was misdiagnosed after a year of seeing 2 different drs at Coastal. I received additional testing at another drs office where I was diagnosed with something completely different. I was told to treat locally and referred back to a specialist at Coastal. I don't understand why it took another practice to diagnose and to refer to the expert in your own practice. It's been over a year of suffering and unfortunate that a practice I held in such high esteem has repeatedly failed me. Now I wait for another appointment with another dr in the group who should have treated me from the beginning...as the damage continues."
"Dr .Mary was great!"
"Great staff awesome doctors dr engle is the best"
"I absolutely love the staff very professional and comfortable place. My son usually visits doctor Engle whenever we have to go, and I love the fact that he goes the extra mile to make a scared seven-year-old feel comfortable. And he knows a lot of facts about different cartoons, which is a plus 🤗."
"Doctor was amazing. I spent a total of 20 minutes at this office. I was in and out. My three year old felt comfortable with the doctor. I'd recommend this office to anyone."
"The allergy dept. is wonderful. They are courteous and caring. They work with patients to ensure that schedule times are available for them. It is a shame that they have not been able to keep some of the great nurses working in this department."
"Dr. Houston is amazing! We were referred to his office by our pediatrician. Very knowledgeable, took as much time as needed to explain about my son's ear tag and removal surgery from start to finish. We are very pleased with our whole experience! Front desk is always very pleasant as well. Highly recommended!"
"Awesome Place! Great staff"
"Great staff and great service!!"
"They are amazing they found out that my son has had ear problems for a while due to having a submucous cleft palate"
"Good service, no complaints."
"The physical therapist at Coastal, Dr. Janine DeBrito, cured my dizziness. After discussing my symptoms, she tested my balance. She explained everything very patiently, was gentle, and took her time. She also showed us how to treat the crystal condition if it should reoccur. I recommend her without reservation."
"Amazing experience. I was able to get a SATURDAY appointment at 8:15am only a week prior to! When I called, I had assumed I would have to wait months to be seen. They’re availability is insane. I was in and out before my appointment even started which is so convenient. Normally I wait months for appointments and I’m there 2-3 hours just waiting. I think wait times and appointment availability are what truly make or break a practice no matter how good a doctor may be and this practice just blows everyone else of out the park. Dr. McAfee was super pleasant and down to earth. I’d recommend this place a thousand times over."
"Janine was very helpful with the vestibular therapy. She was the first one to make me feel like there was a way to treat my problem. Dr. Houston was also helpful and thorough with his testing."
"There is always an appointment available at the times I need and my visits are fast and informative."
"Awesome Doctors and wonderful, helpful staff. Great location and easily accessible."
"Great Doctors - Great Staff!"
"I am so happy I met Dr.Rouche. I have been dealing with bad sore throats and constantly being sick for four years and no one could help me or would even listen. Dr. Rouche never rushed me even the first visit I had with all my questions he answered every one. His medical assistant and surgical cordinator are the best in the office. They truly care and want to help you and do everything to make you feel comfortable. I have seen quite a few ENT’s and I can honestly say working in the medical field that I will highly recommend him to patients of my own!"
"Great place wonderful doctor"
"Very organized and professional. Doctor Houston was also amazing and took the time to understand my problem and then he explained every step of the solution. Would definitely recommend"
"I guess they're good they move people through like nobody's business when I arrived there were 15 to 20 people in the waiting room and I was seen within 20 minutes and when I came out there was another 15 to 20 people all different. I spent $400 for a less than five minute exam. they are very efficient but to spend that kind of money to see the doctor for less than 5 minutes is kind of mind-boggling. If you have insurance you have nothing to worry about."
"Es lugar muy bonito pero sobretodo es un lugar donde prácticamente se encuentra doctores para todo tipo de enfermedad."
"Coastal ENT is a very efficient office. I'm typically in and out in ~30 mins for allergy visits. Staff and doctors are extremely friendly and helpful, book follow-up appointments on checking out, and bonus points - they have lollipops!"
"Amazing results- I have ear problems almost all my life (I am 76), including several serious surgeries. When I began getting a bit dizzy on a daily basis, I was sure it was a byproduct of my lifelong ear problems. I was really a bit skeptical when my ear doctor (from Coastal Ear, Nose, and Throat), after I told her of my symptoms, suggested that I get therapy. I made an appointment with Dr. Janine DeBrito of Coastal Ear, Nose, and Throat for an evaluation and she suggested a series of sessions to work on thecauses of my dizziness. I honestly (at this point) had my doubts about therapy helping my problem.. Well, I was very wrong! I have just finished 10 sessions with Dr. DeBrito and my dizziness is virtually gone.She worked me through a series of exercises to improve my eye/head movements that caused my problem. I want to sincerely thank Dr. DeBrito for her caring and expert sessions; and also thank her receptionist Kelseyfor accommodating me in my appointment scheduling."
"Dr jung is great!"
"Huge practice always busy."
"My experience at Coastal Ear, Nose and Throat was better than I could have ever expected. I was a vestibular therapy patient with Dr. Janine DeBrito and the level of care I received was phenomenal. Dr. DeBrito and her staff, especially Kelsey, were always welcoming and friendly. They erased any fears I had about vestibular therapy. After a concussion, I thought I would be stuck with debilitating headaches and dizziness for the rest of my life. Dr. DeBrito has made a huge impact on my quality of life and I cannot thank her enough. I highly recommend Dr. DeBrito and Coastal Ear, Nose and Throat!"
"My wife had major surgery and the surgeon was fantastic. Based on my interactions with this group, I would feel confident with anyone on there staff. Her doctor was Dr Newkirk."
"Love them professional and great service"
"I can only comment on the support staff. I contacted this clinic to explore the possibility of a specialized procedure that would be performed by one of the ENT Drs. Ms J. Biennas was helpful in promptly answering my enquiry and though the staff member was leaving soon, did offer me secondary sources to pursue. Thank you, Ms Biennas."
"Very friendly helpful staff made me feel very comfortable"
"The staff are attentive and very helpful..."
"Excellent care. Took care of my daughter, she is doing well."

"Dr. Houston is thoughtful, smart and does a great job of explaining the situation to me as a patient. He makes sure I fully understand my condition/treatment plan before he let's me leave the office. I truly appreciate the way he approaches patient care."
"Quick, efficient, wonderful. personable and patient staff Very happy overall!"
"Excellent service and spot on diagnosis."
"This office is THE ONE you want to walk into! Everyone is personable and professional. Wait time is better than normal. Dr. Mary Miscavitch is remarkable. She was recommended to me and know I do the same for others!"
"LOVED my visit with Dr. Roche at the Neptune office. I had to bring my toddler in for an exam and I am so glad that I chose this practice. The office is immaculate, updated and the front desk staff in very friendly. They had a large waiting area and than a completely separate childrens waiting room that was spotless and had toys and books to entertain my little one. Our visit with Dr. Roche was perfect. His calming, soft toned nature immediately put my daughter at ease. His examination of her ears, nose and back of her throat was done with such gentle care.He diagnosed an ear infection and gave us some options for treatment. He did not force oral antibiotics at us (which are so over prescribed IMO) but rather gave us local ear drops to try first.We look forward to our follow-up visit in a couple of weeks!"
"Modern easy to use online new patient form. Lobby was organized which lessened the wait period. the Doctor was very knowledgeable and honest. (Sean Houston)"
"I love Dr. Engel and Dr. Miskavitch. They explain everything thoroughly and they're great with children. My two daughters had procedures and they weren't afraid at all."
"Everyone from check in to check out are amazing. Very friendly office staff, nurses, assistants, and doctors. I tell everyone to go to Coastal."
"They don't return calls and though the doctor was nice I got more info on my problem from a physical therapist I saw."
"I was very pleased with my recent appointment. Both the audiologist and the physician were exceptionally nice and I felt I was getting excellent advice."
"Coastal Ear, Nose and Throat squeezed me in when I called needing a an appointment. Not only are the doctors exceptional, so is the staff!"
"Dr. Houston is awesome, he is very professional and explains everything clearly. You can tell he excels in his profession and he truly cares. Three of my youngest children have had procedures done by him with excellent results! I'm always confident with Dr. Houston he knows his stuff and it shows. The office staff is great too. I always recommend Coastal ENT."
"This was my 4th ENT place trying to get a diagnosis for my inner ear problems. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful from the moment I walked in. Dr. Mitskavitch quickly saw me, very little wait time overall."

"First time appt exceeded my expectations! Had a great experience with Dr. Houston and the team at Coastal ENT. Wait time for initial visit was only 3 days from time of initial call. Arrived and taken back to exam room within 5 min. Dr. Houston spent a great deal of time completing a very thorough exam, explaining my condition in detail and asked me several times if I had any further questions. Very surprised to see unfavorable reviews as I had the best experience possible."
"Very busy office, but the staff is efficient and friendly."
