Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

BEST ENT EVER!!!
DR. MORENO is hands down the most compassionate and thorough doctor. I suffered with undiagnosed vertigo for years, significant hearing loss and he was able to help me on my first visit . The office staff is kind and I have never had to wait long before seeing him.

Best ENT and Surgeon around
Dr. Moreno is amazing at what he does. My son was handled with care and his tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy went super great as was his healing time. Highly recommend Dr. Moreno for all your ENT needs!

Think Twice
I have 2 children that had a tonsillectomy performed by Dr. Moreno. BOTH have had their tonsils grow back ! I was told by another ENT it is due to the tonsils not being fully removed.

Dr. Moreno is the best Otolaryngologist around.
My 4 year old daughter recently had tubes placed in both ears last week, plus she had her adenoids removed. She did not cry a single tear through the whole process. She loves her Dr. Moreno and the nurses were so nice and thoughtful. After the surgery, she was treated like a princess with what they called "magic ice". They kept her at ease during recovery and allowed me to go back there to see her. Dr Moreno came and talked to us in her room and explained what took place during the surgery. He also explained what to expect during the next few days. He assured us that if we had any concerns or questions not to hesitate to call. I highly recommend Dr Moreno to anybody who needs any kind of ENT medical services.

I think he is an incredible Dr. He does not spend a lot of time with small talk, but he definitely gets to the cause of the problem. I have been his pt for 9 years as well as my child who he has done numerous procedures on. He has always been so helpful and his staff is amazing also.

He’s simply THE BEST ENT in this part of the United States. I’ve been a patient of his for about 22 years and counting. I’ve always had problems with my entire ear system since I was a small child. He’s done several corrective surgeries and he helps manage the vertigo issues I’ve had for a few years now. I would recommend Dr. Moreno to anyone, with confidence.

Yes, in fact, I have been telling all my friends and family about Dr. Moreno! There’s a lot of compassion for the well-being of his patients and it shows through his dedication to use his knowledge and medical skills to help people heal. In my case an operation to restore hearing was successfully accomplished with implants. I am actually looking forward to having it done on my other ear, soon. When you find yourself not able to hear~ you know how to understand the unspoken words when you look at the person who is speaking to you. Dr. Moreno is highly recommended.

This man took advantage of my single mother when I was a minor he preformed more than 5 surgeries on me before I was 12. pointless unnecessary procedures . Sinus windows surgery 15 years ago and I can barely breath trough my nose and 4 set of tubes in my ears. I had to force him to take out my tubes at 12 years old. I experienced permanent hearing loss in one of my ears probably from so many surgeries on my ears. If your a parent don’t take your child here or at least get a second opinion before he puts your child under the knife.

Dr. Moreno and his staff were fantastic during my recent Septoplasty surgery. The entire process from pre-surgery to post-surgery went flawlessly and my results are amazing. I didn't realize how bad I needed this surgery and so glad I listened to his recommendation.

I waited an hour before I was called back. I had a walker w seat they called me back my walker would not fit through the door the nurse finally had to fold it up turn it side ways. We open it up I'm going down the hall to the examining room and it would not fit through that door. I sit in room DR comes in he never introduced himself. He did not smile he was very short with me and very vague with his answers to my questions. I told him I was there to have my vocal cords checked, asked why, I told him,he said what doctor, he proceeded to put a utensil looking thing with a mirror at the end over a metal silver can with a spout at the top like torch or something. He puts it over top can has me stick my tongue out which he grabs with one hand and with other sticks that thing to the back of my throat raising his voice says just relax just relax then does same thing again then gives me a paper I gave front desk out the door I went. He never explained anything. I will never be back.

This is by far the worst experience I have ever had with a doctor. I, after finding a new doctor, was later diagnosed with Meniere's disease. He placed me on a medication that I had a severe reaction to. My pharmacist is the one who actually figured it out.
