John U. Coniglio, MD

He has ruined the Quality of my life! It has been since March 19th 2016 since the surgery I had with John Coniglio. He has reduced the quality of my life. Because of his surgery I have pain in my neck, Pain in my throat, ear pain, grit my teeth, numbness in my neck and have difficulty swallowing my food. I will have this for the rest of my life. I had a lesion on my tongue. The MRI showed that the lesion was cancer and was confine to my tongue. He removed my lymph nodes from my neck for a precaution. He never discussed the side effects of this to me. Had I known the pain I have been enduring since my surgery I would have never have had this done. He also removed a gland next to my throat.. Why he removed this was never explained to me. To me he is nothing but a second rate surgeon. I had never had any pain in my face or never had this problem swallowing my food. When I complained about the pain I was having he stuck a tube down my nose down to my throat and told me there was nothing… there. He said it was in my head. He said he has been doing this for a long time and I was imagining the pain. They did nothing to help me. I now am going to have this pain for the rest of my life. John Coniglio has ended the quality of life. I'm constantly going to the pain center at RGH for shots in my mouth to try to limit this pain. I wish I was dead so this pain would stop. It isn’t worth living. He did this to me. I don’t care how many years he has been doing this, all I know is the pain John Coniglio created, People are warn. Don’t trust this Doctor. Don't bring your children to him. If he wants to operate on you get away from him. Don’t believe him when he tells you he is the only one who can do this like he told me. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I am now paying for it with pain. Don't trust him. The doctors at RGH where just going to remove the lesion on my tongue. He told me that he was the best qualified for cancer. He said the doctors at RGH were not as experience as him. What a mistake I made to listen to him. He wanted to remove one side of my thyroid. NO WAY!!. He is a mistake. I only wish this John Coniglio can endure the pain I have for the rest of his life. I can't understand all this positive feedback. I took that in consideration and look what it got me. Pain, and nothing but pain. I should have listened to my primary. I should have gone to the ENT'S at RGH as suggested. I don’t care what his demeanor or his bedside manner is. Please, if you have had a bad experience, whether it is through surgery or anything else, let people know. Go on Google and tell people what John Coniglio has done to you. Warn people about this second rate surgeon. THE HEAD AND NECK CENTER IS A JOKE!!! DON'T TRUST HIM!! HE WILL GIVE YOU NOTHING BUT PAIN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!

Took forever to read my CAT scan while I waited with an infection for surgery. Did a scope procedure not covered by my doctor during a routine drs appt and then didnt accept credit cards so I couldn't pay with my health savings acct credit card. Sent my bill to collections right away with no phone call, while I was still fighting for my insurance to pay for it. Ridiculous.

He ruined the quality of my life. I now have pain in my throat numbness in my ears I have neck pain. These things have never had it before. I have trouble swallowing. Don't ever go to him. You will have nothing but pain when he's done

Great Dr had stage four mouth cancer still here thanks to Dr coniglio!

Dr. Coniglio is impossible to reach by phone. No one in his office ever actually answers the phone. It takes multiple messages followed by hours of waiting to get a return call, sometimes not until a day later. His nurse managed to combine a sarcastic attitude with gratuitous insults that bring dismissive arrogance to new heights. She constantly interrupted me and was unwilling to answer my questions, instead spending her time telling me about all the other patients she had and bragging about the fact that she had an R.N., and asking my if I had an R.N. or an M.D. and if not I should just shut up after I had the temerity to point out that her knowledge of CAT scan radiation doses seemed incorrect. This is the most discourteous, unprofessional and downright nasty encounter I've ever had with any medical person. I wouldn't go back to Dr. Coniglio if he was Albert Schweizer and Jesus all rolled into one because of the demeaning and disrespectful way I was treated there by his… staff

First visit found out I need surgery

I had an extremely complicated airway problem. The Dr. has no ego problems and sent me to his mentor in Nashville. Dr. Coniglio is a five star surgeon and a very compassionate human being.

I saw Erin Shannon, who was great. However my experience with the office staff, office manager where horrible. Rude, unprofessional, and unhelpful. For that reason alone I will be finding another doctor. They are providing a service, and represent the doctor. If I was the doctoer I would find a new office staff!

Dr Coniglio was referred to me by my primary care dr. He was patient and answered my questions. Had my procedure done was given the best of care.

Dr. Coniglio is the most wonderful doctor. He is so compassionate and has called me at night three times about my father. That is unheard of these days. He is an EXCELLENT physician and he was suggested to us by a top notch Oncologist. While we have to drive two hours, it is well worth the trip. I have already given his name out to others with similar issues.
