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.

We discussed canceling my artificial sphincter procedure. I told hi.m I didn't feel good about a surgery thst wasn't necessary. We cancelled the procedure and set an appointment to reconsider it in 6 months.

I am impressed
Dr has a great bedside manner. He explained everything so that I understand what the course of treatment was and how each step was going to go. He is very knowledgeable. I began with another good doctor in The practice but due to complications, I was sent to Dr Avallone because of his experience and knowledge. We are halfway through the procedures and so far, it has gone like planned. He is very calming before the procedures and through in His explanations. I highly recommend him.

Dissappointment
This doctor told my dad active surveillance for a year would suffice. Different surgeon discovered the cancer spread out of his gland during the procedure to remove said gland. Now he has to do radiation. Thanks, Dr. Avallone. A note to the doctor - please remember you are dealing with lives. Maybe be more cautious. This is my best friend that I have to watch go through this. I am really disappointed in your 'professional' judgement. What a bummer. A note to other people looking for someone to care for your loved one - look somewhere else.
