Dr Holden was excellent and I received the best care today at Paramus. But front desk lady I'm am not sure of her name, had a hijab on,made an appointment in FairLawn when requested for Clifton. Was very rude and said no appointments available in Clifton and that drs don't make decisions about where the appointments are made. She made the appointment for the date that I will be out of the country and said the adjuster can request for change in appointment to Clifton. Very unprofessional. Hope some one will address this concern. read more

I came here because my primary referred me to this location. The staff is amazing, front office ladies are so friendly. The doctors I met with completely made me feel uncomfortable and miss-diagnosed my ailment. I am not sure what went wrong here, but I will get to the bottom of it. I endended up going to a second opinion doctor to perform my surgery. read more

--- **Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience.** I went to this practice expecting to receive treatment from my treating doctor, but instead I was examined in what turned out to be an Independent Medical Examination (IME)--something I was not informed of in advance. I believed I was seeing a treating doctor. The scope of the examination was limited in a way that a treating physician would not do, which made it appear that the insurance company had a role in restricting the visit. The whole experience was very troubling and left me feeling very confused and disappointed. Clear communication about the nature and purpose of the appointment is essential. Patients deserve to know whether they are being seen for actual treatment or simply being evaluated on behalf of another party. --- read more

Professional and friendly. I am normally uncomfortable in Dr.'s Offices - but here, I felt at ease. The entire staff was wonderful. They came up as a 98% on United Health Care's website, and I was not disappointed. Dr. Sheldon was attentive and willing to work with my personal preference in regards to a mix of homeopathic and western medicine. read more

I love these guys and of course they are great docs, PA's and Administrators. Highly recommend

I recently saw Dr. Noah Kirschner because of a torn right quadriceps muscle that occurred while playing tennis. I received a prompt appointment. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Dr. Kirschner was patient and thorough in his explanation of my injury and offered options as to how to approach it. We both agreed on a conservative approach and physical therapy. I am happy to report that in just under 6 weeks I am back to playing tennis again. I can recommend Dr.Kirschner and his office without reservation. read more

Fantastic experience! Didn't even have time to sign the 3 forms before I was taken back to the exam room, and the PA walked in as I finished the 3rd form. PA Thompson was the best.

Friendly staff, excellent treatment and a kind and knowledgeable physician. Thank you GSO Mahwah.

Love Dr. Van Grouw, have been under his care for a number of years and I couldn't be happier with his care and the care of his office staff. I would highly recommend him. He focuses on a very personalized treatment that is right for me and my lifestyle and my injury. Great bedside manner and informs of all the options while discussing what is best for your specific case. His office staff is so easy to work with especially when scheduling appointments and when they say they will call you regarding scheduling tests or insurance issues you can count on exactly that. Both Dr. Van Grouw and his staff are professional, efficient and kind. The best. read more

I had booked an appointment for my mother who is in a lot of pain with Dr De Grouw. Group was given to me from my mom's insurance Aetna. I called the Clifton location and gave all details of my moms insurance and was told they are in network. Soonest appt was today in Mahwah! Great 45 minute ride for me but Mom is in pain and needs to be seen. Completed paperwork online the day I booked the appointment. Get to Mahwah office and am told group is not in network. Check Aetna's website, plan is listed as participating with this group. Receptionist tells me, they don't accept HMO just PPO. Ok, so I asked how much is the visit, response was "I don't know!" They call someone to find out and are told they "don't know." So now, I'm like maybe they don't understand. I'm going to self pay. What is the fee? Receptionist tells me we can't self pay because my mother has insurance. The doctor tells me it's against the rules. Huh? Since when? I work in the medical field and have been a medical biller for 27 years, since when can you not self pay? They wouldn't accept cash! Bizarre! So we leave the office and I call Aetna and again am told they are in network so we file a claim against them for not accepting my mother. My poor 81 year old mother who is in pain and this office declined her insurance when they are supposed to be in network, then, declines service for cash!?! The most bizarre unbelievable experience I have ever had with a doctors office! Apparently our money is no good to them. Maybe because they knew my mother was from Russia and they held it against her for what is going on these days, I don't know, but I would never let anyone in this office examine me or my family or my friends! If I could give zero stars I would! read more
