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.

Really bad
I met with Dr. Lapco, after repeating numerous tests then I had been through on several occasions, the doctor assured me that he could alleviate my condition by doing eustachian tube balloon procedure. Briefly, I tried to schedule this procedure with the office they’re so incompetent that no one actually knew what I was talking about or what they were doing. After several weeks had gone by and many calls to the office, first I was told the doctor was on vacation, then finally I spoke to one of the girls and said the procedure is not covered by my insurance. I called my insurance company they said an exception can be made, it would just take a letter from the doctor explaining it was essential. This same girl told me that that would be impossible and the doctor would not do that, but that I can always pay in cash. I did receive a phone call from the doctor, who again told me no problem with him doing the procedure I just needed to get it scheduled. Never another phone call .

Dr. Lapco and his staff are top notch! They do a great job making you feel comfortable during your entire visit. I had same day allergy testing and a CT scan that Dr. Lapco was able to explain everything to me during the visit! Couldn't ask for better treatment!

Like Dr. Lapco very much. He takes his time, you don't feel rushed. Everything gets explained and I feel he is very thorough. I saw him about 18 months ago and I did not like his office staff at all. My last visit,about a week ago and again today when I was there for testing were all very pleasant as was his PA and audiologist.

Just underwent sinus corrective surgery. Dr Lapco is truly gifted and professional. Minor discomfort mostly from the anesthesia. This only a few hours after surgery. I expected much worse based on friends who have had similar procedures with other physicians. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend Dr Lapco to anyone who needs this work done. Special thanks to Natalie Aiello who walked me through this from start to finish. Thanks to your entire team.

Visited him with complaint of a sinus infection, based on facial swelling, eyelid pain, etc. He misdiagnosed, saying no sinus infection, and then tried to interest me in allergy testing at his office. He took no x-ray, no cat scan to confirm his diagnosis. I do not suffer from environmental allergies. In fact, I did have a sinus infection that left untreated, has now spread to my ear and is far more difficult to clear based on delay of treatment. I would not recommend this office

I came to see dr. Lapco due to some pressure in my sinus. After hearing different opinions from other doctors I was happy to hear dr. Lapco's' profesional opinion. He knew exactly what was causing my problem and suggested a non invasive solution. I feel much better now. Dr. Lapco and his staff are amazing and friendly. It's a very procesional office. I highly recommend it.

Dr. Lapco was instrumental in diagnosing my problem that I had suffered with for over a year. I had been to three dental offices, two chiropractors and my medical Internist. I have had no recent problems with my jaw pain which resulted from a major sinus infection. His staff is extremely well organized and rarely have to wait a significant time before securing an appointment. I highly endorse him.
