Treated my sudden acute hearing loss in one ear. Outstanding. Went above and beyond what a typical doctor would do. He consulted with other doctors in other specialties after my visit. Did his research, then got back to me with his recommended treatment. He also treated my facial palsy due to lyme disease even though that was not the reason for my visit. He showed care and concern that most doctors would not. First class

A fantastic surgeon! Dr. Aliphas removed a tumor from under my jaw. It was deeper than the x-ray showed. The estimate 90-minute operation took over four hours because of this. Dr. Aliphas did a great job and with such a delicate proceedure that was no nerve damage. He is amazing!

Dr. Aliphas is a truly outstanding doctor! I researched other surgeons before deciding on him and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. My four hour surgery went incredibly well with no complications and was a virtually painless recovery. I would highly recommend him.
Unfortunately his staff is the direct antithesis of professionalism. Neither Andrew or Megan have any concern beyond the rudimentary scope of making appointments. Be sure to follow up yourself on anything beyond that.

Dr. Aliphas was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain what he was doing through every step of the exam. Afterwards, he spent time discussing my options and made sure I had a clear understanding of everything he said and presented. I really felt like I was important to him and that he cares about his patients. The office staff were equally friendly and personable.

I have been to New England Ear Nose and Throat three times in the last two years. I have found Dr. Aliphas and Audiologist Haden go be extremely caring, attentive, informative and personable. I left each visit understanding my condition and the treatment plan proposed. I recommend them to anyone in need of that type of professional service.

Everyone from staff to Dr. Aliphas was very friendly, patient, and helpful. When I got to the office, there was virtually no wait, either at check-in, or for the doctor. Everything seemed very efficient, yet I did not feel rushed. Dr. Aliphas gave great explanations of what he was doing and was caring about my comfort level, doing his best to solve the problem during office procedures, although surgery may be needed.

Dr. Aliphas is caring and competent, and he's improved my quality of life. I figured ear problems were just going to be a constant in my life. Dr. Aliphas not only assured me that was not going to be the case, but he took an approach that remedied YEARS of issues, and I mean it - the quality of my life has improved. Dr. Aliphas talks me through all of the notes he creates in the EHR, and he makes sure that line of communication between Dr. and patient is open.
