Vera D Cecilio, MD

Dr. Cecilio is the BEST. I was having a lot of pain. I called her office and they were able to get me in immediately. The wait in the waiting room could not have been shorter. Once I was in, I got to meet the doctor. She is very pleasant and calm when she heard my issues. She handled my problem immediately. She ran the necessary tests and gave me the medication needed. The best news was that my ear drum was not punctured. I am very grateful for the way she treated me. I would not only go there again but refer anyone and everyone that needs an ENT to and see her. I know that whatever problem they have will be solved.
I also need to let you know that the staff is very compassionate, pleasant and professional. I love them all.
I would like to give her six stars. She deserves it!

This review is more for the office and their awful staff. I have been trying for weeks to get an apt to see the ENT but they were so unhelpful and the only answer they could give was «I don’t know, I’m not sure». Long story short could never answer my questions to help me get an apt so I went else where.

I called Dr. Cecilio’s office to get a pathology report on a mutual patient that was in my office at the time. I needed the report to send to an Imaging Center for a PET Scan. The woman who answered the phone was so rude & disrespectful that I asked to speak to a manager. She went on saying that she was the only person who worked there & I could only speak to her. I then asked if I should have my Doctor call her Doctor to get the report. She said «do what you gotta do,» and hung up. I then had to have my 80 year old patient call Dr. Cecilio’s office to request the lab. When my patient asked the girl for her name, she said «Amanda & Maggie.» Completely inappropriate & unprofessional.

She’s very sweet but I wouldn’t recommend her. She performed surgery for my deviated septum a few years ago and my breathing has actually worsened! I finally went for a consultation with another (highly qualified and highly recommended) ENT, who told me I need surgery again. I plan to get a second opinion, but I’m not surprised because I can feel and hear that it’s much harder for me to breathe now, and see the cartilage that is blocking both airways. Also getting lots of bloody noses, which I never had before.
Also, the surgery is performed in an outpatient center that was a bit dumpy — it was old and felt dirty. I was honestly a bit scared that if something happened, they wouldn’t have the resources to respond.
Finally, a friend’s mom got an eye lift from her and Dr. Cecilio failed to give her enough local anesthesia… she apologized the entire time she was cutting and sewing my friend’s mom’s eyelid, who was in immense pain! Yikes!

Dr. Cecilio was incredible nice and helpful. Highly recommended for any types of throat problems.

Dr. Vera as I call her is a sweet sweet woman who is loving and cares for her patients. Many doctors will send you in for surgery just because and she’s been very conservative with the treatment of my tonsils. She looked at them and said they had to go because they’re in bad shape. I’ve been seeing ENTs my whole life for chronic sinus problems and she’s been the best I’ve seen in my 25 years of dealing with ENTs who I usually find to be cold and uncaring. She’s the best. If I could give her 10 stars I would.
