VitaMED Family Practice is a great place to receive full health care, from some of the best doctors…read morein the individual fields of medicine. Tadeusz Majchrzak, MD, is the Physician-in-charge and runs a no nonsense establishment. He is a doctor that looks at the whole patient and makes certain that his patients are thoroughly examined and cared for. The medical staff on site is second to none. The ladies are always pleasant and are uplifting when they speak with you. These women are experts in their field and administer tests and assistance to the patients with love and care. Everything is done onsite, blood work and all. The phlebotomist on staff is excellent. I never feel any pain when having blood work done or receiving vaccinations. Just seeing the ladies when they greet you to come inside puts a smile on your face. I have been a patient of Dr. Majchrzak for over 20 years and would travel from New York to Jersey City to keep him as my doctor. I could not ask for a better doctor. I can wholeheartedly recommend VitaMED Family Practice for all those seeking excellent health care.

I'm sure I'm going to be in the minority of people who have not had a good overall experience with…read morethis practice, but it is the truth and it needs to be told. In the end, Dr. Majchrszack's business will continue to thrive, but I can at least shed some light and a caveat emptor should you venture here. Several years ago I had come here at the recommendation of a friend. I read reviews; they were great, but I missed a few negative ones. Note to yelpers prolific and casual: always check the negative reviews, even if they are few and far between. Who's to say those 4 and 5-star reviews aren't coming from friends and even bot posters to make sure a business shows up with a high score? It happens all the time. You've been warned. When. you come in, the first thing you get is a vulgar girl who has been there forever. She will not greet you and can even be antagonizing. The only person I have to state is maternal is Magda, who has in the past given me my flu shots. However, with this girl, you get sharp language and an attitude that she's not there to care for you and you're a nuisance to her. I can only assume she works there because of a family relation; otherwise, she'd have been replaced a long time ago, but after this review, I shall never go back there, so that's it. When I met Dr. Majchrszak, he was of the impossible-to-spell name, he was still and resembled something out of a time machine. He speaks into a dictaphone -- yes, you heard it -- and demands you take tests to ensure you are not sporting some unknown disease or health condition. I was subjected to endless tests with his cardiologist Ferayoon Kohan who determined I had a heart condition. [I didn't, but more to that later.] I was placed under strict medication on high blood pressure medications, all of which made me gain untold amounts of weight. Eventually, when the pandemic happened and all one could do was jog, masked, throughout empty streets, for hours, I proved that no, I never was hypertensive. But wait! Majchrszak had determined I needed to get a colonoscopy at once! It's just that the doctor was way out of my insurance. I declined. [I will get a colonoscopy... just at my discretion.] At the moment I am battling COVID-19. When I call, because he is my GP (well... until today, no more), I get the same rude girl, and the message that he'd call me back. Reader, it took 6 hours - almost a solid 7 - before that happened. In the meantime, and because I was very, very sick and desperate, I contacted my insurance, procured an impromptu meeting with Teladoc, and got my medication. I feel much, much better. Also alarming is the fact that at 9:00 and until 9:30 you don't get anyone on the line, and during the hours of 12:00 and 1:00 pm, your call will show as "Your call did not complete as dialed. Please check your number, and dial again." So, if there is an emergency, and you don't have the doctor's number (or anyone else's for that matter), what do you do? This is unacceptable for a practice that presents itself as one that takes care of the sick. Meanwhile, Majchrszak? Oh, he called back. I got prednisone and dextromethorphan - not Paxlovid (although granted, I did get this through Teladoc, so high-five, Teladoc). Prednisone makes a person gain enormous amounts of weight. What is with this doctor's fixation on dispensing medication that does nothing but make you retain water? When I stated I'd go and procure it at the pharmacy he yelled at me [he always yells] that I could not go get my medication myself and that he would be closely monitoring my health to include tests upon tests to make sure I am disease-free. I hung up, frustrated and angry because he failed to come through when I needed him the most, but began with his usual vaudeville act of being a doctor caught in his own ego trip, in a different century, a dictaphone at his side. Sometimes some doctors should retire. Go at your own risk. Or who knows; perhaps you adore him. I can assure you that I do not.

Dr. Patel has been my primary doctor for over 10 yrs. She is one of the very few doctors who really…read morecares. I should know, I've been yelled at by her a few times for being (willfully) non-compliant w/my meds, appts, etc. I can't blame her given my diabetic condition & how it can quickly cascade into something serious (like heart failure) if left unchecked. Most doctors have this "meh, it's up to you what you do to yourself" attitude. Clearly, Dr. Patel is not one of them. She's also very thorough. She leaves no stone unturned (she'll do an EKG, order X-ray etc). Perhaps due to her thoroughness, she takes a holistic approach, so she will ask for records from your other doctors, opticians, physical therapy etc. Best of all, despite of her hectic schedule (it was much worse before, when her staff routinely overbooks her), in addition to the questions directly related to our illness/condition, she has always managed to take the time to ask: "How are you doing?" A doctor who actually cares. What a novel concept!

*Update* In response…read moreto the comment below. I've have seen Dr. Patel multiple times so I know I have the right doctor. Ok perhaps she doesn't see thousands of patients...I've changed to hundreds. But more important surprising factor is that Dr. Patel's office had time to respond to yelp comment but we are still waiting for a call back from the office. It would have been better priority to check ur messages than check yelp reviews which will get worse if you never respond to your urgent messages. - Never takes calls, especially calling for emergency - Wait time is over 30 minutes, even when having an appointment - Office Staff is very rude and not helpful - Dr. Patel lacks patient care and ability to handle with proper due diligence - Office should not be supporting hundreds of patients if the Dr and the staff cannot manage - Writing on behalf of my parents, since I take them often to see Dr. Patel
