So my knees have been bothering me for about 6 years now (sucks getting old) and so I decided to…read morecome and see whether I had a real problem, but I needed to be worried about or whether it was just aging and nothing I could do about it. I came to see Dr. Cappadonna based on the great recommendations I got and his exceptional professional history. Particularly that he is a sports orthopedist and surgeon so he would be good with minimal invasive treatment if any, and have a focus on getting back to optimum mobility. I found out that I do have arthritis bone on bone, and he was very against doing even shots at this point and suggested I do physical therapy. Oh my goodness was he right! After only about three weeks of physical therapy, I feel like a brand new person. My knee, which was killing me all the time is that virtually no pain. I'm moving around better than ever and I feel great. I went for my follow up today and he told me to keep up the work at the gym which I do anyway, I could stop physical therapy, take the anti-inflammatory really only when I need it (which is rarely), and if it continues to get worse and maybe five or six years, will consider whether I need something invasive, but until then the worst, he is going to consider his shots. Long story short, he is very conservative very smart and very effective. He also happens to be an incredibly nice guy who spends as much time with you as needed. And bonus? This practice is unbelievably great at getting you in and out not only at your scheduled appointment time, but even early if you should get there early. Because I had such a great experience. Here I went to go see another doctor in their practice for my wrist, and I receive the same level of care and professionalism. A really phenomenal practice group.

Doctors are O.K. but their billing practices are shady. I went in for a basic service and they…read morebilled my insurance company for something way more expensive including things they did not do.

For that reason She has thought about finding another doctor.

The doctors are good, but the office staff has made it nearly impossible to access proper care…read more My doctor at Bergen Medical ordered an MRI and told me to see him again to review it in 2 weeks. Unfortunately, it has been 2 weeks and the referrals department refuses to submit the required forms for my insurance's prior authorization. I have gone back and forth with the office, and no one I speak to can provide an answer as to why they won't submit the forms. I was initially told when I called the office that my MRI had been authorized and I could go ahead with scheduling. I scheduled and my husband took the day off to bring me for the scan, but then my insurance told me I was NOT actually approved. I called the office again and I was told yes, the pre-auth process had not even started. I clarified with the referrals department to make sure there was nothing further they needed from me. The woman I spoke to rudely told me that it hadn't been done because she assumed I'd be using Pascack Valley for the scan (even though I had already confirmed with Pascack Valley I was going elsewhere, and was told I could schedule anywhere.) I checked if there was anything else she needed to submit the forms, and she said no and confirmed she'd submit it "now." Days later I call Bergen Medical again, and am told that the pre-auth process STILL has not begun. I am promised to get a call back about this in 2 business days to explain why I am being given the runaround. So of course two business days plus a weekend go by, I call Bergen Medical back, and yet again no one can help me. The forms have STILL not been submitted, despite the multiple calls and confirmation from the referrals department that it had been submitted the week prior. I don't know what else I'm supposed to do when my doctor has ordered a test and his staff won't submit the forms. I am genuinely baffled.

THIS PLACE WILL WASTE YOUR TIME AND HAVE YOU LOSE MONEY…read more.. I really would like to rate this place with no stars, but there is not an option for it. First they changed the name and didn't not send an email, a letter or a systematic message on the phone to notify me. When I called to make my appointment I was scheduled for a date and time, when I showed up to the appointment I was informed that I didn't have an appointment that day and they didn't see any appointments for me at all. Then, I asked to be scheduled for the next day and I was given a time. When I showed up, I was informed that my appointment is for 3:15 PM and not 2PM. I had nothing to eat to be at this appointment and I was behind on my meds just to get my blood work done... I also took time from work for both appointments and I had to be back at work after rescheduled appointments. I had to find a substitute to cover me since I was not going to be available for another appointment in like another month. I had to pay my substitute double for the day do the last minute noticed, so she can assist run the event I was supposed to assist to run.

It works by giving the surgeon a magnified, 3D high-definition view of the surgical site while they control robotic arms with instruments from a console." Dr Michael Pitter (RIP) was my Doctor who performed this masterful work. The nursing staff was simply divine with their TLC, compassion and professionalism kindness towards me. I was preparing to have my Mammogram and Ultrasound done. However, I was informed by my scheduler at Columbia Doctors that I needed my images from my last mammogram (2014) with Hackensack University Medical Center. Today, nothing has changed with the remarkable, caring, positive staffers, that give TLC as their standard. A professional body of heartwarming staff at Hackensack University Medical Center. I called and requested my images. They returned the call the next day, and my images and report were ready. I drove to NJ, got my ticket stamped for free parking from the Breast Cancer Screening Center. Dropped off my images to Columbia Doctors on West 51st Street in the heart of Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall (so cool). At the end of the movie, it was a joyous experience that made me feel truly gratefully happy and cared for by Hackensack University Medical Center and Columbia Doctors/NY Presbyterian Hospital. The great news is that my Mammogram and Ultrasound was negative. AMEN

After a grueling 10 hours in the ER hallway I was moved upstairs to a hallway bed for two days…read more There were ample discharges yet they still did not move me into a room. I absolutely give 5 stars to the day time nurses I had during my time in 3LW. The night shift I cannot say the same. I felt avoided and ignored entirely at night other than them waking me up for blood work and vitals roughly. For two days I dealt with nonsense and excuses just waiting for an MRI brain scan. Finally one of the APNs was able to escalate my MRI up about 8 hours earlier. I came to Hackensack because they're supposed to have an amazing triage process and broad range of care. I had seen and witnessed so many patients with non emergency issues coming to the hospital and passing me over for things they should be going to an urgent care or their normal PCP for. After 3 days I left with zero diagnosis or information about my condition. A complete waste of my time coming here.
