"My mother is 81 and had a nosebleed so bad that it sent us to the hospital and eventually required admission and a blood transfusion! A PA from Coastal ENT came to the ER to pack her nose to help stop the bleeding. She was wonderful. She was gentle, kind and encouraging. Just what my mother needed.Three days later we went to the office and saw Dr. Bressler. First, the staff at the office were all so personable and kind. My mother was so scared to have that packing removed as she thought it would hurt and second, she thought it would bleed again.Dr. Bressler was so sweet, very encouraging and positive. She took her time and was as gentle as possible. Unfortunately the vessel was too far back to be cauterized but it didn’t bleed. Dr. Bressler took her time explaining why it couldn’t be cauterized, how to help prevent the vessel from bleeding again, what to do if it does and what to expect if it becomes a recurring problem. She answered every question with kindness and compassion and never made us feel rushed or unimportant. You can tell she truly loves her job and loves people.I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Bressler and Coastal ENT! My oldest son may need an ENT soon. If so, I’m going to bring him to Dr. Bressler!"
"I have been going to ear specialists since I was 5 years old ! That was 70 years ago ! Seventy years of so many doctors who have had to clean out the collection of ear wax and dead skin that builds up after several mastoid surgeries. It can be very painful. But since I have gone to Lydia Hawk, Physician Assistant at Coastal Ear Nose and Throat, I can honestly say she is the best ! Cleans out my ears with no pain whatsoever. She has a great personality, making each visit a calm, comfortable experience."

"Dr. Silberman is the best! He’s done a major nasal surgery on one of my daughters and a tonsillectomy on another. My daughter that had the tonsillectomy threw up (she got motion sickness in the car about 6 days post op) and ruptured a blood vessel when a scab came off and was bleeding really bad and I called the office en route to the ER and Dr. Silberman was at the hospital before we were even registered. She ended up needing an operation to stop the bleeding and I don’t know what his schedule was like that day but he never left my daughter until she was stable. He is not only good at what he does but his bedside manner is wonderful!! Caring, kind, and just a great human being. I highly recommend him and his office."
"I can't say enough about Dr. Kenneth Newkirk and the wonderful staff at Coastal Ear Nose & Throat. They were so efficient, professional while still being warm, funny and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Newkirk that Coastal."
"Dr. Shargorodsky is outstanding! He explains everything clearly, my initial surgery was relatively painless, and during my post-op treatment, he used instruments with precision and I felt no pain. Coastal Ear Nose and Throat and Coastal Surgeryare very professional and trustworthy!"
"I am a new patient of Dr. Shargorodsky! The office staff was so nice upon check in and his medical assistants Alex and Adrianna were so warm and friendly. I was nervous about the scope in my nose but Dr S was so calm, and kept checking in that I was ok and comfortable. He is very smart and gave me a great treatment plan. I would 100% recommend Dr. Shargorodsky and Coastal ENT"
"Staff at Coastal Ear, Nose & Throat are always pleasant. Dr Salerno is very efficient and pleasant. Listens to my complaints or concerns about my hearing aids and addresses them promptly. I would highly recommend Coastal Ear, Nose & Throat for all your needs."
"I've always had a positive experience at coastal ear nose and throat. Doctor Houston is the best doctor, he listens and he's very caring. He has helped me with my ears for 12 years. My visits go very well. Thank you Doctor Houston Today is 7/15/2026 I'm adding to my post about Doctor Houston I think he should be on the cover of People magazine with great articles and reviews and his opinion of his experience with all different challenges he tackles with his profession everyday. Plus I absolutely think he should be on GMA to explain all about our ears,noses,and throats. He and his other colleagues and staff are wonderful! Over the years he has taken care of my son, grandson and another colleague took care of my granddaughter. Each visit or check up Doctor Houston gives you a positive outlook and explains everything to his fullest to his patients. I've been a patient for 14 year as of January 2024!"
"My daughter has been a patient of Dr. Bones for awhile, I am now also a patient. Dr. Bones and her staff are welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful and supportive. Dr. Bones takes the time to address my questions and concerns. We are very confident with the care my daughter and I receive at Coastal Ear, Nose and Throat in the Holmdel office."
"Dr. Goldfarb is absolutely the best doctor anyone could ask for. He’s very professional and has a great bedside manner. He makes you feel comfortable the minute he comes in and takes his time with you. He answers all your questions. My daughter had a rhinoplasty, Septoplasty, turban reduction and everything went so smoothly. He absolutely loves what he does and truly CARES about his patients and communicates every step of the way! I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone"
"Three years ago Dr Goldfarb did plastic surgery on my nose because I had skin cancer and needed Moh’s Surgery! My husband and I were amazed how he closed the wound! It was quite large and it’s not detectable by anyone! Last week I had the same procedure but it was more on my face and the size of a nickel! Dr Goldfarb was my choice since he did incredible work the first time! Once again he has done another incredible plastic surgery to make this look as good as the first time ! He has an incredible team who are so nice and caring ! Doctor Goldfarb is so talented and is so compassionate and caring ! My husband and I think he is best! Thank you Dr. Goldfarb and the entire staff!Best,Drake and Donna Sintic"
"It was a great experience my last time there they told me to use and over the counter medication, once a month, to keep my ears relatively clean. To my surprise my ears were very clean this time. 🎈I would recommend 🌹🌹🌹(Coastal Ear Nose and Throat,)🌹 for anybody looking for this procedure ❗Sincerely,Mark Geneva"
"This practice is, by far, the most competent group of doctors I've come across. They treated me for multiple ear, nose, and throat related ailments.Other ENT's in the area seemed more interested in using me as a paycheck, where coastal ENT seemed genuinely interested in bettering my quality of life.I'm grateful to have found this practice."
"The staff was friendly and helpful, Dr Patel was knowledgeable, answered all my questions and took care my bloody nose, he was great."
"Its always the WAITING ... plus its EAR nose n throat n beteeen the gkass n masks i cant hear as it is. Some places have the see through masks ...(not any place local) although i do not lip read i can still figure out most of what they need by lookimg at their lips"
"Dr Houston is great. I have been his patient for 25 years- now my son who is 7 is also a patient. He is so skilled in his area of expertise that he performs what needs to be done with ease and minimal discomfort in such a short period of time. He was great with my son. Extremely knowledgeable and very direct which I can appreciate. Highly recommend. My son needed his nose cauterized due to nasal hemorrhages and he made this process seamless. Engaging my son in conversation about his legos and before you know it we were done! Highly recommend!"
"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."
"I cannot thank Dr. Goldfarb enough for everything he did for me. I had a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, and several other sinus issues, all of which he successfully corrected. Before seeing him, I could barely breathe through my nose; now I have no issues at all.The improvement has truly been life changing. If you are experiencing difficulty breathing through your nose, I highly recommend contacting Dr. Goldfarb. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made."
"Dr. Bones did a thorough checkup of my ears, nose and throat. She explained everything to me and made suggestions. I was very happy and would recommend her."
"I have been a patient of Dr. Newkirk at Coastal Ear, Nose, Throat for several years. The staff there is always helpful and pleasant. Dr. Newkirk is thorough and caring and very professional and knowledgeable."
"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."
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We had an incredible experience with Dr. Qasim Husain. He is not only highly knowledgeable and professional, but also has a remarkable gift for working with children. My son Younis was extremely anxious about seeing a doctor, especially when he learned a camera would need to go in his nose. But Dr. Husain’s warm and friendly approach instantly put him at ease.It was truly amazing to watch how gently and skillfully he handled the situation—Younis cooperated without fear, and Dr. Husain was able to make an accurate diagnosis thanks to his calm demeanor and genuine kindness. He clearly understands how to communicate with toddlers and earn their trust, which made all the difference.Thank you so much, Dr. Husain. You turned a stressful moment into a positive experience for our family. God bless you!"
"After years of hesitation and anxiety following a childhood nose injury, I finally felt confident enough to move forward with a septoplasty/turbinate reduction procedure thanks to Dr. Goldfarb. From the very first consultation, he was absolutely amazing — incredibly patient, never rushed me, and took the time to thoroughly explain every detail of the procedure and what to expect. His calm, professional manner instantly put me at ease, and his kindness and reassurance helped me believe I could finally take this important step for my health. I’m beyond grateful for the care I received and would very highly recommend him to anyone considering this procedure. He truly made all the difference for me."
"Burned nose good 👍"
"I've been privileged to have Coastal Ears Nose and Throat as my doctors for many many years.This practice has consistently provided top notch professionals and expertise in a variety of venues.Having began with Dr. Mary Mitskavich...I found myself uncertain when I was among some unfamiliar faces ..but I must say..pleasantly surprised to find caring compassionate and kind hearted doctors.From the front desk girls to the doctors assistants to the future appt girls...the services( all delivered with big smiles)are head and shoulders above the rest.But ...don't just take my word for it...give um a whirl!

The nurse practitioner is absolutely wonderful and she answered all my questions about issues with my ears! Thank you very much for making it a wonderful experience getting my ears cleaned out!"
"I’ve seen Dr Patel a couple times before FESS was recommended, I trust him with this surgery. I’ve been dealing with sinus pressure, headaches, difficulty breathing through nose for years. He tried several medications that just didn’t solve my issue & recommend this procedure after trying other alternatives- that alone builds my trust , and just didn’t want to rush to surgery. I’m set to have surgery on 6/10/25 and can’t wait"

"Dr Goldfarb and his nurse April were incredible with my stressful state of mind. I was sent to him by my Dermatologist surgeon, Dr Kruse who performed my Mohs Surgery 2 days ago who had to go deep in my nose to successfully get the Squamous Cell Carcinoma out which left a big hole. Dr Goldfarb and April took such good care of me to repair my nose with ease. I would without a doubt recommend this wonderful surgeon (and April) for his skill and amazing bedside manner!

"Dr. Goldfarb is truly an amazing surgeon! I had a septoplasty and rhinoplasty and I was super scared going into the surgery but he truly made the process so smooth and easy! His office is wonderful and you really feel safe going in. Throughout the entire process he makes sure that you feel comfortable and that you know exactly what’s waiting for you! I had a very distinctive shape to my nose which I was very insecure about as well as some major problems breathing; after the surgery even though I am only a week post-op, I can breathe so much easier and comfortably! Even though the swelling still has time to go down me and my family are absolutely amazed at the results! If you want a rhinoplasty or any cosmetic procedure, I highly HIGHLY recommend going here! Thank you so much Dr. Goldfarb; I look forward to my recovery!"
"Dr. Goldfarb is absolutely incredible! I came in regarding my deviated septum and also had a few questions in reference to possibly also doing a rhinoplasty at the same time. Not once did I feel pressured, overwhelmed or nervous. I ended up booking my surgery that same week and got lucky with a quick surgery date. Bedside manner was amazing. Recovery was great and I received multiple calls to see how I was feeling. My results are also stunning and mind you, I only had surgery two weeks ago! Thank you to Dr. Goldfarb for the confidence I always lacked and for helping my breathing at the same time. Also thank you to your team for being amazing! If your looking for a reliable doctor, this is the place for you!"
"I had a MOHS procedure done to remove a basal cell on the bridge of my nose. Dr. Goldfarb met with me before the procedure to explain the variety of ways he could close the wound depending on its size/exact location. He answered every question I had and showed me photos of similar possible outcomes. The closure left me with stitches on the bridge of my nose and around the curve of my nostril. Three months later I can barely see the scar (completely invisible under makeup) and my nose looks like it used to. I’m very happy with my results and my experience with Dr. Goldfarb’s office. Besides the great aesthetic result everyone there was friendly and made a somewhat stressful experience as easy as it could be. Highly recommend!"
"Saw Dr. Shargorodsky yesterday for a follow-up on an ear infection. Thumbs up to Dr. Shargorodsky and all the staff at Costal Ear Nose and Throat."

"Very cordial, everything went well except the camera going into my nose, not use to it being done that way."
"Wonderful experience with Coastal Ear, Nose and Throat. Dr. joe was patient in listening to all my concerns and gently cared for my needs. The staff were professional and fast. I am so glad I chose them and would highly recommend them to anyone."
"This was my 1st time going to an ENT (Ears Nose Throat) Doctor. The staff here at Coastal ENT were pleasant and got me through to registration process fairly quickly. 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!"
"My daughter just had nose inferior turbinate reduction with Dr. Husain in Holmdel office. She recovered very well. We are happy with the procedures. Really appreciate your great work. The front staff is nice too. 👍👍👍"
"We have been going to Coastal Ear Nose Throat for many years and can confidently say our experiences have been nothing short of exceptional.Dr. Engel, our otolaryngologist, has a warm, friendly bedside manner and immediately puts my daughter at ease. He is very thorough and takes the time to go through history, explain the process and engage with the patient. I highly recommend him to anyone that is seeking an ENT.Dr.Parker, our audiologist, is in a class by herself! She also has a warm, friendly bedside manner and also takes the time to explain procedures, address concerns & will even offer suggestions. She has taken the time to explain an audiogram to my daughter as well as has gone the extra mile in procuring her solutions for her accommodations at my daughter’s part time job.

In the seven years we have been going there, we have always been seen on time!Highly recommend this practice!"

"Dr Qasim is great!!! Had a 90 percent blockage deviated septum. He fixed it, removed the polyps in my nose, and did much more stuff. A few weeks later I’m breathing a lot better! If your hesitating to work with him please don’t!!! 5 stars is the least I can give him! Thanks again"
"I wish I went sooner…After 10 years of not being able to breathe out of the right side of my nose I can happily say that after surgery I’ve never been able to breath better than Ive ever imagined.I randomly picked the BEST doctor and TEAM in the area to help me. Dr. Husain and his team are world class…After the first appointment I felt confident that Dr. Husain was a doctor that I could trust and never have to worry about it again. Dr Husain even called me the night before my surgery to make sure I was ready and didn’t have any last questions to make me feel as comfortable as possible. The day of the surgery Dr Husain was in and out of the pre surgery room talking to my 8 month pregnant wife and myself making sure we were both completely understanding of the process and what to expect. The recovery was easy and after a few days I was back to myself. Thank you to everyone at Coastal ENT….YOU ARE THE BEST!"
"During my recent visit to Coastal Ear Nose and Throat I found the staff to be very accommodating, making sure I was checked in quickly and seen by the Dr. as soon as possible.I see Dr. McAfee annually to have my ears cleaned. Each year he greets me with a smile, gets right down to business and does a great job! This year was no exception.This provider’s office is one of the best!"
"Dr. McAfee is a fantastic doctor and truly an expert in his field.I was suffering from hearing loss and it was becoming more frustrating every day not being able to communicate with people. I was going to another ENT practice before going to see Dr. McAfee. The other ENT recommended hearing aids, which helped a little at first. After multiple visits and many adjustments I was at a point where this practice could no longer help.I met Dr. McAfee a few years ago and he along with Dr. Sean Houston had suggested that I might have otosclerosis, which was causing my hearing loss. Dr. McAfee had suggested I have a stapedectomy procedure to help with the hearing loss. Dr. McAfee explained the procedure, the risks, and answered all questions I had.After 2 successful procedures, my hearing has improved tremendously! I am very grateful and fortunate to have met with Dr. McAfee. He has definitely improved my quality of life. I highly recommend Dr. McAfee to anyone who has any issues regarding Ear, Nose, and Throat."
"Dr. Josef Shargorodsky is one of the best medical professionals I've ever had the pleasure to deal with! In addition to him being a top-notch doctor, his entire staff is very professional and kind. I highly recommend Dr. Shargorodsky and his medical facility Coastal Ear, Nose and Throat in Neptune, NJ."
"Had a fantastic experience! Dr. Husain was very nice, answered any question I had, and helped me finally be able to breath through my nose! I would recommend this place to anyone. Everyone in the office was so nice!"
"I have been to two ent and were not crazy about them. I will tell you why I highly recommend Dr. Husain. I became a patient of his a little over two years ago and I have been suffering with acute sinus problems for over five years he was very conservative in the beginning he tried to do everything possible before surgery unfortunately that failed my sinuses were so shut closed I was breathing through my mouth constantly I will be honest with you I was very nervous about the procedure I looked up how it was performed and what exactly was going to be done on YouTube.Which I highly advise not to do because it was totally different from the surgery that I experience. Dr. Hussein explain step-by-step he was very sincere and his bedside manners are absolutely wonderful he told me what to expect right after the surgery couple of days after and the upcoming weeks and he was spot on the surgery was absolutely necessary and I felt no pain at all nor did I take any painkillers I was uncomfortable for the first day and every day since that I have been breathing through my nose and able to smell a little bit each day and I know the next couple of weeks is going to get that much better. I highly recommend the surgery I highly recommend going to Dr. Hussain he’s just one of those doctors that you don’t mind going in to see and talking with like I said before very sincere very unique so kind including the staff if you have any questions you can ask him and he will be very honest so please don’t hesitate no longer and make an appointment with Dr. Hussein"
"Dr. Husain is great. Just left my post op from my septoplasty and I must say, great work. He recognized my issues right away and gave me a detailed explanation of all options. I was very indecisive so he gave me time to think and upon making the decision, the procedure was scheduled within 10 days. Very professional staff, friendly and well educated medical assistants. I highly recommend Dr. Husain to anyone in need of an otolaryngologist or skull base specialist. Super happy with the results. I never imagined that I would breathe this well ever again. Everytime I take a deep breath through my nose I want to call and say thank you but that might be annoying so I hope this review can relay my appreciation for the life changing work that Dr. Husain has done for me. Now I have one less flaw for my girlfriend to complain about."
"Dr. Husain was AMAZING! The staff is wonderful and my overall experience was fantastic! I highly recommend Coastal Ear, Nose and Throat!"
"Dr. Husain is such a phenomenal ENT doctor. I've been sleeping horribly because of my snoring and difficulty breathing through my nose. One visit and saw that i had a deviated septum and now after getting my nose fixed i can actually breathe so much better since high school. We are now on our way to my sleep apnea testing and i cant wait. Dr. Husain is very through, friendly, awesome, and extremely easy to talk to. He even helped with a diagnosis with my son and pointed me in the right direction for his treatment. A MUST VISIT for your ENT needs!!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH DR. HUSAIN."
"Dr. Huston has been my ENT since I was 12 years old and I am now 22. I had a LOT of issues with my sinuses and breathing. Dr. Huston took his time to access everything I was feeling. He completed two surgeries on me, tonsils, and also fixed my deviated septum. To this day I never have issues breathing through my nose. I breathe deeper and easier than ever before and my monthly sinus infections have ceased. I would recommend him to anyone :)"
"The turbinate reduction and Clarifix surgery that Dr. Husain performed on my nose and sinuses was nothing short of excellent and professional. Thanks to his caring expertise, the procedure was relatively painless, and the results, spectacular. I can actually breathe through my nose again! As for my post-nasal drip, it is greatly reduced. I am hoping it will reduce even more as time goes by. Highly recommended."
"Dr. Qasim Husain with Coastal ENT is a 10 star Doctor! Dr. Husain as well as his assistants and staff were excellent when it came to my overall health care and a successful Sinus Surgery. I suffered for over a year with difficulty in breathing through my nose and continuously felt as if I had a Sinus Infection. I had gone to another ENT who had kept me going back to his office repeatedly for bogus treatments with no relief and never sent me for a CT Scan. That was the first thing that Dr. Husain recommended. Dr. Husain is professional, kind, caring, attentive and has a cheerful scence of humor. I highly recommend Dr. Qasim Husain!"
"Super personable and great bedside manner. Provided great advice and consultation and performed a big nasal surgery on me - he was there every step of the way."
"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."
"Having experienced serious nose bleeds while on vacation in Florida emergency rooms, ent doctor follow ups etc. Back in New Jersey and seeing Dr Husain a few days later, l finally received the expert care I needed for serious nose bleeds. I'm feeling confident that my nose is healing."
"We’ve been going to Coastal ear , nose and throat for several years now, and we love them all. Great staff and amazing audiologists with top innovative hearing aids."
"My grandson was referred to an ear nose and throat doctor because of enlarged tonsils. My daughter and I both accompanied him to the appointment to see dr. Hussain all three of us liked him he was a very nice and very informative. And the staff was excellent. Jen took all of his information and talked with him like they were old friends allowed him time to talk about his favorite show. The girls at the front desk or false are great upon arrival and as we were leaving. They even offered all three of us Tootsie roll which is big in my book. I would recommend this office staff and doctor to anyone."
"I found coastal ear and nose by accident, I had a very bad ear infection n my regular dr couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I called them here and they got me right in. Best accident ever! Dr. Roche is such a great dr. He takes his time, he listens to everything u say. He makes the experience like visiting and old friend not going to a dr who just wants to move onto the next person. The staff there are amazing!!! I have a large family and when I call or come in Chris,Mike and Danielle B. Know who we are and who needs what! It’s so personal and a great feeling not to have to worry that they don’t have my families best interests. Thank you guys so much for making this crazy mom of 5 alittle less crazy with all your wonderful help and Patients. I would say keep up the good work but really it comes natural to all of you!! Thanks again the vasquez Family!!!!"
"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."
"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!"
"Amazing, smooth experience. In and out he fixed my broken nose. Cool, nice , funny guy and great at what he does. Best doctors office experience I've had."
"Dr Brad is one of the kindest and professional members of Coastal Ear, Nose and Throat. Dr. Brad has been so wonderful with the handling of my mom's hearing aids."
"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!"
"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!"
