"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!"

"An Incredible, Compassionate Doctor and Top-Notch Surgeon!If you are looking for an exceptional ENT, I cannot recommend Dr. McAfee at Coastal Ear, Nose & Throat in Neptune highly enough. I have been seeing him for over 10 years, and he is honestly the best doctor I have ever had.Dr. McAfee truly cares about his patients and consistently goes above and beyond in everything he does. His bedside manner is unmatched. He always takes the time to make sure I feel heard, patiently addresses every single concern, and does an excellent job of explaining things clearly.He is also a top-notch surgeon. I have had two surgeries done by him, and his expertise gave me complete confidence through both procedures. He combines incredible surgical skill with genuine kindness. We need more doctors like Dr. McAfee!"

"The audiologist was great as she explained everything she was doing during the testing. Asked me if I had any questions and was very attentive. I see Dr. McAfee right after and he is always very caring and also explains everything to me. I have moderate hearing loss and have been going to Coastal for a few years now. I am very satisfied with the care I am getting."

"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."

"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. Dr. Seth McAfee was my surgeon and the results could not have been better. I have to tell my wife to lower the volume now. I never thought my hearing would ever get better. Thanks to all at CENT!"

"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."
