Useless ears after surgery
A surgery that other doctors do not perform for more than 30 years left my ears useless. Useless ear surgeries and useless lumbar punctures.
Be careful of the "trap reviews" that this doctor is spreading, with words such as "with the grace of God". Doctor G is only worshiping the faith of money, and you will be left with useless ears.
A monster "doctor"
A monster doctor with a psychopathic pattern of pathological lies. He is extremely comfortable in manipulating, exploiting and eventually mutilating his patients with no guilt and no remorse.
He makes it look like a truthful and compelling diagnosis, but only when you look at the evidence, you can see the lies.
Hopefully, when you see the lies, it is not too late for your life. For too many of his victims, like me, it was too late.

Unnecessary life altering surgeries
I found out that Dr. G did something terrible to my ear that should not have been done and that cause me all my misery, afterwards he totally abandoned me unless it is to blame my other ear for my misery.
I am definitely ANOTHER VICTIM OF HIS PERILYMPH FISTULA MODUS OF OPERANDI. I asked his office if I could share my experience on the Ear and Balance website to notify other people from the possible outcome of this ear surgery, but my request was ignored. Can anyone imagine that Amazon would only agree to publish five stars reviews on the products they sell?
And if he does not publish these bad experiences, can anyone really trust the positive reviews on his website? This guy is a total fake, a despicable con artist and what he does, he does without consent.

Corrupted liar crook
MY right side mid fossa went horribly wrong. He did a very poor job and has messed up my face and muscles that control my right eye.
My right jaw took over 3 years before I could open it fully and it not pull my face really bad and cause my jaw to hurt at the connection to the jaw. I asked many questions and spoke out about how I did not like Round Window Plugging and that I did not fill that I had a PLF or fistula. I live around many mountains and elevation changes. The Diamox he puts everyone one for ever longs period of time some still one after 8yrs gave me very bad kidney stones.
I had 5 in one year. So he gave me a very skilled *** spinal tap leak after I asked these questions and spoke out against plugging the RW's. He can mess you up and will play his cards on getting away with it. He is detached and should lose his license to practice medicine.
My right side bone cement repair of the skull was very poor and he made it so I will fill pain for the rest of my life. He is a very corrupt lying man. After my spinal tap leak he gave me I laid flat for over 1 month but it would not heal back. So I went and got an epidural blood patch.
This helped the massive headaches but caused me to go into RHP that put a lot of pressure on the RW plugging in both ears. First time Gianoli called me and did not charge me the $135.00 for 15 minutes to tell me not to take any of the Diamox I was put on from him to pull down the RHP. My first blood patch was locally so they did not understand what RHP was. And I not knowing truly what it was other than I kept having pressure go up and up.
I did what he said and did not take the Diamox and in return after 3 weeks of RHP it popped both RW occlusions-plugging bilaterally. Now I have a worse problem from Dr. Wacko Gianoli sabotaging me on 3 different occasions. He is a crook and a liar.
After my RW's both popped from RHP from him telling me not to take anything to pull down the pressure I went back to him 1.3yrs later. Did his testing had to have a friend drive me down there. He did not fill out any short term disability paperwork so I had to cash in a 401k early to live off. He passed me on all the test when I could not function nor stay on his machines.
He took my $2800.00 and said you are okay right now. I said the CT shows the RW are open with no plugging material in them anymore. He said the CT are not accurate. I said they can tell if the superior canal has a small 1mm hole in them so I think they are right.
He lied again. He is a sick man.. That's my report for he tells all his patients with SSCD that they have a fistula. Fistula brings him more money and people have to come back to get the fistula check if they think it has popped, weaken, or dislodged.
He is crook running a big money operation. Don't challenge him or call him out or he will mess you up. I was nice how I ask him questions before but I know how he operates now. And one more thing.
If you ever have back to back surgeries by Gianoli half of your skull will become bone cement. This stuff is pretty tough but if it ever cracks from head injury later it can become infected and then they will have to go in and take it all out. I could not find out how much he used nor how big are the holes he put in my skull. He put 4 holes in my skull and then reconstructed both sides of my head skull with HA bone cement.
When I asked questions he did not want to answer he copped an attitude and then said no one has ever asked me these questions as a smoke screen. Then said you need to see a psychiatrist. This was to cover him so he can smear you up later. Watch out!
this guy is slick as a snake. He messed me up bad and then dropped me after he got all my money.
EAR AND BALANCE SCAMMERS
Dr. Gerard Gianoli represents the most *** of all criminals, a low-life human being in shape of a doctor who uses his medical license to catch in his net the most vulnerable people looking for medical help.
Worse than a criminal who may spare your life for the money, this vile doctor wants it all, your money and your life.
A loathsome physician who flourished on the fertile soil of Louisiana, where there is no judge and there is no law to protect the victims from a free market delinquent medical system. Supported by his wrong doer collaborators, Kacie Harvey, Andrea Routt, all equally with blood on their hands, because they know the truth about his criminal surgeries, but they are there for the ride as well.

A con man, a cheat
A lot of money and tests only to be misdiagnosed. I was diagnosed with perilymph fistulas, but when I saw another surgeon who specialized in this condition he said he saw no evidence at all that I had one!
Doctor G made me so scared.
And If I had followed through with treatment my life would have been ruined!
I am doing much better now.
When I looked online, I am far from the only one. Do a deep google search before going to EBI.
User's recommendation: Don't trust his hundreds of fake reviews written by his minions
PUBLIC ALERT
Gianoli is a lying crook and tells people they have a fistula of the round window when they do not. Does this for money and then later when that fails he wants 10k plus 3k for testing.
Straight up lying crook.
Dr. Wacko Gianoli.
Beware of his fake reviews on paid sites.

Con artist
I saw Dr. Gianoli five times and every time he gave me a new misdiagnosis.
He insisted my vertigo that kicked in immediately after his surgical procedure had to do with the other ear. What an unlikely calamity. Really? On the same day of the surgery?
When I told him about the pain in my ear, he told me there wasn't any pain in my ear. One thing is for certain: this doctor who brags on his expertise serves probably two lords, one of them is mammon. The Lord of Greed. Beware of anyone who claims to be "an expert." Most experts in any industry will NEVER claim it.
They may show it to you, but you won't hear them or others claiming it. In many cases, when someone claims he or she is an expert, he or she is a con artist who is trying to cajole you into taking his or word without any outside verification.
When in doubt, step back and doubt. Studies show there are more sociopathic doctors than previously suspected and one of their gaslighting tactics is the good ole "I'm an expert" claim.con arti
Go some place reputable place
Ask yourself why insurance isn’t accepted? And why the focus is on ‘rare’ controversial diagnoses?
They hand out expensive treatments and controversial dx’es like candy.
Go some place reputable.

This is the wacko doctor from Louisiana!
This is the WACKO doctor from Louisiana! I saw him a few years ago, paid 4000 $$ for his trash diagnosis and he wanted to patch my ear "windows" for additional 30,000 $$$.
This con doctor is still in business? Suckers don't die...

Worse than before
Dr. Gianoli is a one-size fits all doctor.
He completely misdiagnosed my problems and because of it I have been in much worse shape than when I first went to him. He takes terrible notes and he was not at all receptive to learning that he was not correct. As a result of his treatment, and the drugs he prescribed, I have terrible tinnitus due to his surgery.
It has taken me a long time to get back to where I was (which was uncomfortable enough) before I saw him. I would recommend seeing other doctors who have experience with head trauma if you have balance problems and you have had head injuries, as there are reasons other than the inner ears that can cause inequilibrium.
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
I was treated by Dr. Gianoli for what appeared to be Meniere's.
He told me I had permanent damage to my ear and was going to be deaf. He wanted to do lumbar puncture, then surgery, I refused and he put me on different meds that had me like a zombie. Luckily, I found another Dr. who was wonderful and got me off all of the meds.
My hearing is normal and I have been doing great for many years. He might be a very good doctor to others but I am done with him! I am happy to tell him his diagnosis was WRONG! Dr.
Gianoli has no empathy and I doubt his honesty, he made me feel so scared and sad. Always get a second and third opinion - and find someone who cares, who accepts insurance and has no “I am God complex”.
Do NOT, Absolutely do Not go to Gerard Gianoli
Do NOT, Absolutely do Not go to Gerard Gianoli. He will tell you that you have an inner ear fistula if you have balance problems, put you on horrible medications that will make you much worse and then convince you that you need surgery.
Once done with the surgery, you will feel even worse and he will not acknowledge unless it is to say that the problem is that your other ear needs surgery, too. He IS a scam artist.

The Butcher from Covington
This doctor is committing health crime, using his license to perform harming surgeries for earning his cash and for his medical experiments.
Also participating in this health fraud is Mrs. Anne Chaka, she is promising the rainbows and the unicorns. She gets 20% commission on each patient that she brings to his *** hole in Covington.
Dr. Gerard Gianoli is a FRAUD DOCTOR - did a carnage in my ears with his quack surgery
Dr. Gerard Gianoli misdiagnosed my dizziness, he recommended a surgery to help with it.
I paid full cash money to this doctor who executed my life under his knife. Not only that he did not solve the dizziness, but I lost my hearing, he left me with a tinnitus that drives my life mad. He replaced my light dizziness which was definitely manageable with an intense vertigo and horrifying nausea that collapsed my life. Dr.
Gianoli executed this surgery in his own medical facility, Pontchartrain Surgery Center, a facility not supervised by the Louisiana Department of Health. Good luck finding a lawyer in Louisiana, who is willing to undertake medical malpractice across the lake, where human life worth no more the cash money you pay the doctor for your own execution.

Gianoli is a crook of no conscience and I have tried to write a review on Google, RateMD and Healthgrade and tell my story, how he botched my ears with his scam PLF surgeries but they removed it after it was already published. Gianoli must be paying these medical review sites to remove negative reviews about him.
