Thought I would contribute a review since I looked at previous reviews before taking my son to Dr. Avallone. My son has been seeing him since August and he is WONDERFUL! Best doctor we've ever had. He performed surgery on my son recently and we were all totally at ease through the entire process. Absolutely the best bedside manner of any doctor I've ever had. The minute you meet him you feel at ease knowing that you are in excellent hands. I would recommend him to anyone. Thrilled that my son will continue to go to him in order to be monitored as he grows.
Dr Avallone adjusts his "bedside" manner to whomever he's speaking with. With preteen/teen boys, he talks directly to them, teases them gently, and doesn't talk down at all. With parents, he takes a different approach but the goal is the same, to make you at ease. His staff is top-rate. Sometimes I have to wait-- it's probably because he is giving someone else his close attention.
Dr. A is a very good childrens opth as we have seen several all over the world. All stribismus does not need surgery, and a second opinion is always good no matter what kind of surgery your getting. If your childs eyes aren't straight in glasses they need surgery. I would see him over others in a heartbeat.
I appreciate the care, but...the business is questionable. If you are tricare or state though he is not allowed to charge you the 40 for the refraction fee. It is part of the signed contract. Talk to your insurance before paying anything.
