    Unprofessional staff. Dr Cerefice shows no concern about the health and well-being of patients

She is not only an excellent internist but also a skilled diagnostician. Knowing she responds to our calls, even during off hours, gives us peace of mind. We're also grateful to Michele, the office manager. My husband has a fear of needles, and when he goes into the office for his lab work, Michele makes him feel as comfortable as possible. We highly recommend Dr. Zimmerman's practice. No matter the illness, our family is pleased with her care.

    I am writing this review to warn potential patients about my deeply concerning experience with this…read morepractice. As a new patient, I came in for a routine annual exam in April 2025. This is a preventative service that should not incur a copay, however I was told I needed to pay one. During the appointment, the doctor repeatedly pressed me to come up with a medical issue, despite my insistence that I was there only for a standard check-up. I mentioned that I hadn't been sleeping well due to a recent family loss, and this was used to apply a diagnosis code for a "sleep disorder," which then justified the copay. This felt like a deliberate attempt to extract money from me for a preventative visit. After my bloodwork, I was told I had to come in person to review the results, which I have never had to do before for normal labs. I was charged yet another copay just to be told by the doctor that all my results were "normal" and that I could come back in a year. Fast forward to today, while reviewing my health records, I discovered that my lab results were, in fact, not normal. There were multiple concerning results that should have been brought to my attention and discussed during that in-person visit. This is not only incredibly misleading but a clear case of negligence. I would strongly advise against using this practice for any services. Their billing practices seem questionable at best, and their failure to communicate critical health information is a serious breach of patient trust. I will never return here.

Still excellent doctors, however, it is always the front desk with whom the patient has contact. My wait for an appointment is now 1 1/2 weeks as opposed to a few days previously. In my experience there has been a depersonalization regarding the patient /frontdesk contact which might not be experienced by newer patients over the past few months. Am hoping this will improve. And perhaps I just caught one person on a bad day.

Since Consensus Health has taken over this practice, it's become one of the worst and most frustrating places to deal with. Getting an appointment on the website does not work. If you call for an appointment, it's an AI generated system and after five minutes asking questions they gave me an appointment that is two days from now, then it told me there seems to be a problem and the AI system sent me to a voicemail. Someone did call back and I explained what happened and they told me that there is no appointment for that day available. I told them the website shows no appointments through July and I was told that's because we have no appointments... I said I guess I'm going to need to find another doctor and she said OK and hung up on me. The original doctors in the office may be good, but everything else about this place is absolutely frustrating and horrible!!! After getting out of the hospital, I would love to see the doctor that I've been with for over 30 years, but I can't get an appointment, it's extremely sad and frustrating. Sadly, no one in the office except the doctors seems to really care.

    UPDATE: 4 weeks…read moreafter seeing Dr. Brian P. Wolfman with a specific concern about a gallbladder issue, my symptoms have been steadily worsening and I was finally able to see a surgeon for a consultation and I DO NEED MY GALLBLADDER REMOVED.  Dr. Wolfman gave me a rude and dismissive 7 minute appointment where he denied my issue (incompetently) and talked down to me throughout.  He also refused to discuss my other long standing G.I. issues (need for a colonoscopy, colon cancer history with my grandmother, etc). Dr. Wolfman was not only completely incompetent and abundantly rude during his SHORT UNDER 10 minute appointment, but he missed a major health issue that I had specifically asked him about.  He made no effort to do any kind of physical examination.   He talked down to me, he was rude.  He said, "I treat patients, not ultrasounds" when I asked about the sludge condition shown on the ultrasound.  He's right... he does treat patients... terribly.  He treats them HORRIBLY. I need surgery now for the issue HE MISSED AND WAS DISMISSIVE ABOUT -- I'm lucky I decided to go to a surgeon and that my general doctor had given me a referral because Dr. Wolfman certainly did not! This was not my only negative experience at Coastal Gastroenterology Associates.   I had previously seen Dr. Jain, who COULDN'T EVEN FIND A HERNIA (which was previously already diagnosed) and which required surgery only weeks later.  He also only gave me 10 minutes only and REFUSED to discuss any of my long term G.I. issues until he could do a colonoscopy... which he WANTED TO DO WHILE I STILL WAS SUFFERING FROM MY SERIOUS HERNIA and I had to cancel due to the hernia surgery. The third issue with this place is the office manager.  If you have any issue with a doctor or appointment, you can be sure that the office manager will BLAME YOU and then REFUSE TO REPOND TO ANY FURTHER EMAILS TO THE OFFICE. After reaching out with my concerns, she left me a voicemail (only because she saw a negative facebook review) and said I was misunderstood.  I very kindly and professionally requested information, directed to her,  from the office in regard to the the Hackensack Meridian Health network about where I can send feedback and/or file a complaint with the doctor.  I sent a friendly follow up as well.  After 4 weeks, she has yet to provide me this information or even respond.  If you value your health, DO NOT VISIT THIS PRACTICE.  If you want to see an incompetent gastroenterologist, be talked down to, not be believed, and be spoken to rudely, by all means see Dr. Wolfman. If you want to have confidence in your visit and the doctor's recommendations, and not end up in surgery 4 weeks later because they missed a major issue (as happened to me twice), DO NOT VISIT COASTAL GASTOENTEROLOGISTS.   Do yourself a favor and avoid this practice like the plague.   Coastal Gastroenterologists does not deserve to be under the Hackensack Meridian Health name.  It also doesn't matter which location you go to... I visited two separate ones and this kind of incompetency and rudeness is abundant throughout the whole practice and even extends to the office manager.
