"Always pleasant. The procedure didn't hurt..."
"Doctor was excellent"
"I read through quite a few of the reviews before booking an appointment with Dr McAfee, yet I was surprised by my visit two weeks ago. From most of the reviews I expected to be seen by the type of physician who takes time to carefully listen, ask lots of questions about the patients history and symptoms, and explain the issues or/and the anatomy involved as well as how the treatment should resolve the issues.Most highly rated physicians I’ve gone to over the years in fields ranging from dermatology to podiatry are generally patient focused and exude care and concern for the individual.If you are looking for the above this may not be the doctor that is the right fit for you. Dr McAffee does seem to be competent, courteous, and professional and I have no doubt that he is an excellent surgeon, and based on the reviews I would be very comfortable having him as a surgeon, if not for the consult and follow up. My visit however , was for a diagnosis and medication, not surgery.Here are my observations:The office staff was pleasant to deal with and the appointment was pretty prompt.An assistant entered the exam room and took a few minutes to ask for details, and enter a basic history and description of the symptoms into the patient record.However, when Dr Mcafee entered the room, he very quickly asked what brought me in, and let me get only several words in before taking a super fast look, stating after a few seconds that he didn’t see any issue, and recommending an over the counter product. He then asked me rather tersely if there were any further questions. I started to tell him that the issue was ongoing for a couple of months on and off, and wanted to give a more detailed description of the issue, but he didn’t really give me the time, and reiterated to take the OTC product.When I asked what some other steps might be if the problem persists he said take the product and I can reach out then for other steps if it doesn’t work, walking out the door to his next appointment.The whole interaction was approximately 3 to maybe 4 minutes. I have no doubt that he is competent and intend to try his recommendation, but can’t shake the feeling that my primary care physician who suggested checking the issue out by an ENT was far more focused and attentive than the ENT, and actually had a more targeted range of options to suggest.If you want a competent experienced ENT who will give a 20 second look at the issue, give you a quick instruction, and send you on your way, this is your doctor. If you need a proficient surgeon, based on the reviews he certainly seems to be one.However, If you are looking for someone who will spend the time (and I’m not talking 15 minutes, just literally the extra couple minutes to make the patient feel comfortable) to listen to the issue, ask a few questions, and take a couple of minutes to explain the issue and diagnosis and perhaps the physiology involved, rather than running out to the next patient, this is not going to be a doctor you are comfortable with.For context I am a relatively young patient who is decently familiar with medical terminology and anatomy, and I’m able to research and familiarize myself with a medical issue including reading basic medical literature and abstracts, and have the ability to ask relevant, on target questions.I rarely make medical appointments but when I do I find most physicians pleasant, caring, likeable, and easy to converse with about the medical condition at hand. In this case I don’t think Dr McAfee was a good fit for me, though I’m sure he would be a good choice for others with different expectations."
"God Bless Dr. McAfee!!!I had been struggling with hearing loss for years, and all the other Doctors told me, my only option was hearing aids.I asked Dr. McAfee if he would take a chance and try to repair my hearing, and he was the only Doctor that would agree to even try. He told me that it would require 3 separate operations but he couldn't garentee anything. I was just delighted that he was willing to try and restore my hearing. No one else would even make the attempt.After the first operation he told me that he had so much success with the first operation that he believed he would only need one more surgery. Sure enough after the second surgery my hearing had been completely restored. I had not been able to hear on my own without the assistance of hearing aids for years.Now I don't wear any hearing aids and I am eternally grateful to Dr.McAfee for restoring my hearing.I can not say enough about the level of skill that he demonstrated in restoring my hearing. Thank you Sooooo much Dr. McAfee for not only restoring my hearing, but for being willing to take the chance on me.James Walsh"
"I was recommended to Dr. McAfee by another physician. He performed surgery on my ear. I went from almost zero hearing loss to complete hearing. I was thrilled to know I had the guy. Both he and his office staff were terrific. Kudos to he and his team."
"Dr McAfee and his staff where very professional. Dr McAfee was very competent and honest about what the surgery was going to be and the outcome to expect after. He performed the complicated ear surgery with great skill. I was very happy I had him as my surgeon."
"Quick and to the point"
"Nice large waiting room very efficient check in service Pleasant Staff honest doctors. I had wax cleaned from my ears nine months ago. I made an appointment to do the same thing. Dr told me wax is good for your ears. There’s no need to come back for a cleaning."
"Dr. McAfee was excellent with my son. Not going to lie, he is quick- in and out. But he’s extremely efficient and knowledgeable. He knew immediately my son needed tubes. They fit him in the following week. The procedure latest five minutes. My son was home and happy an hour later. Within two months, his infections greatly decreased and his hearing test was now normal. He had pretty bad hearing loss before them. I went in knowing exactly what he needed. Dr. McAfee confirmed and delivered great results."
"I had 3 surgeries on my ear and Dr. McAfee did only the 3rd one and so far so good as the first 2 were unsuccessful. Everyone at CEN&T have been kind and helpful. I highly recommend"
"I have doctor mcafee he is a great doctor explains well caring my cardliogest said that he is great doctor went to school with him he had to clear me for surgery he said your in good hands ty Mcafee"
"When I lost hearing in my left ear, I truly believed I might never hear from that side again. After meeting with Dr. Seth McAfee, everything changed. He took the time to listen to my concerns and provided a clear, confident solution.Dr. McAfee recommended a cochlear implant and explained that I was an excellent candidate. The surgery was quick, completely smooth, and essentially pain-free.Now, nearly a year later, my cochlear implant has been absolutely life-changing. I’ve regained something I thought I had lost forever.I highly recommend Dr. Seth McAfee to anyone experiencing hearing issues or hearing loss. If you’re in the Ocean or Monmouth County area, I strongly encourage you to see him—you will be in excellent hands.Thank you again, Dr. McAfee, for everything you’ve done for me."
"I need ear tubes for the rest of my life due to fluid building up and Dr. McAfee is the only doctor that does my procedure pain free and smooth. He’s by far the best ENT doctor!"

"Dr SethMcAfee is very personable and through. In the Bible Seth the third son of Adam and Eve was created by God to replace Abel and he lived 912 years.Enjoy the journey. Lol.Seth means replaced."
"I have been going to Dr. McAfee for 10 years. He implemented my first cochlear 10 years ago, surgery was no problem, he just implemented another cochlear on my other ear, again no problems. He is one of the most compassionate people I’ve ever met. He cares and he listens."

"Front office and back office staff was exceptional and handled all questions and concerns thoroughly making the travel for the appointment from North Carolina easy. Dr. McAfee was very professional, knowledgeable and provided the confidence necessary to make the easy decision to move forward with the required procedure in the coming months. Looking forward to the next steps."
"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 positive experience visiting Dr. McAfee! He provides prompt and effective treatment on a consistent basis."
"Knowledgeable and informative in diagnosis. Will definitely be back if problem persists"
"My first visit as Dr. McAfee’s patient was a thoroughly positive experience! I completed the medical questionnaire ahead of time, so the front desk interactions were efficient and pleasant from the moment I walked in the door and through the registration process. Dr. McAfee was personable, patient, inquisitive, and created an environment that reduced my overall anxiety. He is now my new ENT that would facilitate anticipated upgrades to my cochlear implant to keep it in optimal working condition! A hearing aid is less conspicuous than a hearing loss. — Paul"

"I first came to Coastal ENT and was seen by Dr. McAfee, and he was wonderful, confident, and I knew it was in good hands. His staff, Kyle and Bri and Meghan all wonderful. Kyle was a godsend, very thorough and call back waz top notch. Bri was a comfort right before the Dr wanted to do a camera scope to see my thyroid and laryngeal area etc. Her demeanor was a familiar vibe to me, so Dr. McAfee had me scheduled CT scan. Once completed, I was too nervous towait for the next appointment as I was/am pretty anxious to say the least. Kyle heard my angst and scheduled me w Dr Newkirk the following week. Dr. Newkirk,After viewing my results from the tests, had me schedule for a biopsy.Kristin and staff so genuine and compassionate.It makes me going thru what can be a pretty stressful situation, so much lighter.Ty Coastal ENT"

I felt like he was on the same page as we were, and never felt rushed. Sometimes (generally speaking) a lot of doctors do not seem to show as much concern when they know the patient only has state medicaid insurance. Definitely not the case here. We're very happy."
"My experience with Dr. Seth McAfee was excellent. I've had two exostoses surgeries under his care. He's highly intelligent with a unique and super focused skill set. Highly regarded from his peers -- that was important to me while I was doing my research on who I was going to trust with this procedure.I had minimal post-op pain and discomfort, which is a testament to his attention to detail, patience and commitment to his craft. From my gathering, he is the most experienced set of hands on the east coast for this delicate and arduous procedure. He and his team are very efficient and wonderful - at no point in time did they make me feel anything but confident and comfortable.We're lucky to have him here on the East Coast."
"I love Dr Mac. He’s great & he knows what he’s doing & he’s very compassionate. However, that being said, I don’t live close to your office. It takes me about an hour to get there & I’m annoyed that I had to come in (for no apparent reason) to get my prescription renewed."

"Efficient, highly skilled and rapid service. I had to come in due to degraded hearing in one ear. I knew it was wax related. Dr. McAfee experted confirmed root cause and resolved it through skillful suctioning that can only be done by a professional. I learned 2 things: 1. I had inadvertently bruised/injured the non blocked ear canal/drum in my persistent efforts to remove wax on that side. 2. There is no OTC device or solution that can safely remove ALL wax without causing damage."
"Friendly and accurate service."
"Love Dr McAfee!!"
"no fuss expertise. My daughter and I both pleased. Thank you"
"Very good experience. Staff & Docs were great. Very Informative"

"Excellent surgery center, from Gladys the receptionist, Stephanie the scheduler and Dr. McAfee and his attentive staff…my 2nd right ear surgery and recovery went very well and I healed much quicker than my 1st left ear surgery which was done by another surgeon at Monmouth Medical. I highly recommend Dr. McAfee for “Surfer’s Ear” surgery. You’ll have your hearing back sooner and be back in the water after minimum downtime."
"Friendly staff and great doctor's"

"Dr. Seth Silberman took great care of me. He is very patient & listens to my concerns. I never felt like he was rushing me.I would certainly recommend him to anyone!"
"I've had trouble with my ears since a kid. They are sensitive and ear doctors to me are like dentists to others. I was super nervous. Dr McAfee was so gentle and caring. He put me at ease. He was super gentle and made a plan for me to fly. Thank you so much for making a super frightening experience,for me anyway, easy, pain and stress free."
"Fast and efficient check in process. Was seen by doctor in a timely manner. Dr was thorough and answered all my questions. Best ever"

I went over there was served on good way and i didnt not wait for long i met dr McAfee he is nice doctor he checked her and satisfied me about her that she will b fine. I highly recommend."
"He is an amazing surgeon . I would highly recommend him to any friend of mine. I had surfers ear in both ears and Completely lost my hearing. Other surgeons planned on a harsher way of correcting the bone overgrowth. He was able to do a new procedure that was same-day surgery with one day recovery. It’s been 10 Years and my hearing is still 100%. I would highly recommend anyone with surfers ear to go to him…..Or with any type of ear issue You will not be disappointed. He truly cares about his Patients and their recovery."

"I have had a series of issue with my ears and hearing. Most recently the hearing in my "good" ear was compromised because of a blocked eustachian tube. The Doctor in the practice I normally see was unavailable for an appointment for another 10 days, so I took the first available, which was with Dr. McAfee. He listened carefully to my issue, offered several solutions. Once I decided what I wanted, he took care of it quickly. He was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous."

She calmed down a little and then let him check in her mouth. I was very relieved to see how comfortable she was."

"In an environment where the patients are diagnosed hearing impaired or being tested for it, taking away the ability to "lip reading" because of mask wearing and on top of it, the plexiglass barrier minimizing sound... I observed very patient and professional front end staff trying to assist new patients with the check-in procedures. Not sure if there's a way you may consider these barriers to minimize an already stressful situation for these folks 😔 My personal experience with my visit with Dr. McAfee and his assistant was prompt, professional honest and courteous. Thank you 😊"

"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. McAfee is an incredible physician and an even better surgeon. From the minute I met him upon my initial consultation to the follow up after my surgery, Dr. McAfee is the gold standard as to what a doctor should be. He explains things thoroughly, isn't in a rush, allows the patient to ask any questions or ask for further clarification and has excellent bedside manner. In my 45 years, Dr. McAfee is the best doctor I've ever had. And the office is the most organized I've ever seen."
"Office staff is excellent. The Doctors and Audiologists are great. Everything is professional, prompt and accurate. No difficulties scheduling an appointment.

You truly are a gift of a provider. 👂"
"Dr. McAfee is the most awesome ENT. Very thorough and extremely nice highly recommend."
"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."
"Tremendous experience.... The office staff is well trained ... Short wait time in waiting area... Dr. McAfee is as professional as one could be!! Had me in and out with full hearing in under 15 minutes!! Actually look forward to going to the Dr.!!"
