I'm not sure to give this a star or not but never go to the optical place inside this business because you get the runaround, like I did as soon as I put my prescription in to the person that does the glasses I wait about a week I went down to the Verona location numerous of times still got the runaround on the website says on Mondays do open it 8 to 7 so I came down there after work. Nobody was in there at the Vernon location. They don't consider that people work and so I asked the lady that does the glasses to bring them down to the Belleville location so she did. I went there about 11 o'clock on September 27. As soon as I walk inside the door, she said she'll be right with me then the nurse came out started modeling stuff about me questioning her the lady that does the glasses about me. When am I therefore the lady does the glasses after talking to one of the people that work there about me? What am I here for? I said I'm here to pick up and I was waiting patiently, so after she was done with the person that was ahead of me that's when she got me she finally took me and I finally got my glasses.

Most people seem to not know this trick. I go on friday and my doctor is excellent. The waiting room is very large with plenty of chairs and a flatscreen with 2 bathrooms, though one of the doors has a broken lock. Give yourself plenty of time though cause you will wait, and wait and wait and wait. Its sort of understandable because you are dealing with people with casts and various procedures being done and most of the people you will be waiting with are elderly and come on a regular basis so you kinda get to tangentially know some of the people. As much as you would want to in a doctors office anyway. I was a little grossed out listening to two people talk about their ailments. Yuck! I dont want to hear that, lol.

Like a parrot she kept repeating "because we check" with regard to my insurance, which I found very offensive. Oddly, I went to another doctor in Glen Ridge (Montclair Urology Group), and had both the consultation and the procedure done with total respect, and no attitude and no mention of deductibles or "because we check".

We are the son and wife of a deceased patient diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma on whom Drs…read more Patrick and Michael Ciccone performed surgery on May 23, 2014, and we believe they showed tremendous negligence which may have prevented this patient from living longer. After removing the patient's kidney, Dr. Patrick Ciccone told us there was no evidence of metastasis and booked us on our first follow-up appointment in July. On the day of the appointment, neither Dr. Patrick Ciccone nor Dr. Michael Ciccone was available, and instead the patient was seen by another doctor from their practice, Dr. Erol E. Ulker, who did nothing other than to tell him to return in November to see Drs. Ciccone. After a CT scan was performed 4 months following that visit, on November 25, 2014, Dr. Michael Ciccone said the patient's lymph nodes were enlarged, referred us to an oncologist, and gave us a Surgical Pathology Report (dated June 2, 2014 -- only a week after the surgery) to show him. We had been unaware that such a document even existed. After reviewing the Surgical Pathology Report, the oncologist asked if the patient had been taking any medication, and when he learned he had not been prescribed any he was very surprised. The report contains loads of information, including terms such as: "Lymphovascular invasion: Present", "Tumor grossly extends into the renal vein or its segmental branches", and "The tumor is grade 3". Based on the oncologist's reaction from the report made immediately after surgery, we believe Drs. Patrick Ciccone, Michael Ciccone, and Erol E. Ulker were extremely negligent in failing to prescribe medication for six months straight following the patient's surgery and for not referring us to an oncologist much sooner, despite knowing the pathology report was very troublesome.

They have a decent sized parking lot and the exterior of the building is well kept. The lobby is very confusing though as the signage for which practitioners are on which floors is non existent and I was luckily able to ask an employee. Check in while quick was pretty terrible. The woman at the front appeared miserable and was complaining with another employee about all types of things. Wait time was decent and I was seen at my scheduled time which was nice. The nurse was professional and the Orthopedic Doctor was phenomenal! It's a shame though that he will be moving to a NYC office because I would for sure have seen him again. The checkout process was just as terrible as checkin as the same employee was there and didn't provide me with everything the doctor requested she do. Lastly, the interior of the building , including the lobby, hallways, offices and rooms can all use a deep cleaning or facelift with repainting of walls because it just doesn't seem clean clean. I'll be going elsewhere going forward and maybe following the Orthopedist to NYC.

I had to schedule a phone appointment for nearly a month later even though it was urgent. Impossible to set up an appointment over the phone since they don't pick the phone up. I had to leave work early and physically go there to speak with someone at the front desk who are beyond unprofessional and rude. Additionally, when you do have an appointment, expect to be seen 2 or 3 hours after your scheduled appointment time. I'm switching doctors. It's unfortunate because I like my doctor but the office is so poorly run it's not worth the pain and suffering. Do yourself a favor and avoid at all costs. They have bad reviews and a terrible score for a reason.

I had a sore shoulder for several weeks that was not improving. Thankfully, Dr. Greifinger was the…read morenearest orthopedic surgeon who was on my insurance. I was able to obtain an appointment within 3 weeks. He was worth the wait. The front office explained that it would take 3 weeks and told me where I could park. They also personally called the day before to remind me of my appointment (not an automated call or text). They were very friendly upon arrival with minimal NON-DUPLICATIVE paperwork, which I really appreciated. [A major pet peeve of mine is providing all the information about your insurance when they copy your card and ask you questions about your medical history, only to be asked about the same questions by the nurse during your initial exam) My appointment ran nearly on time. I was seen within 10 minutes but they apologized for keeping me waiting. Considering that Dr. Greifinger is a specialist (especially an orthopedic surgeon), I almost consider this early. The nurse took x-rays while I waited and asked thoughtful questions about my history. Dr. Greifinger then introduced himself to me. He was very kind and was able to carefully explain what was going on with my shoulder within a couple of minutes. It was a relief to finally be able to have a diagnosis and a treatment plan going forward. He also gave me a shot which nearly immediately reduced the pain and allowed me to get a good night's sleep for the first time since I first started to have a problem. I was even able to start getting my range of motion back later that evening. Everyone in the office was very nice. My visit did not feel rushed. If you need to see an orthopedic surgeon in Essex County, Dr. Greifinger the person with whom to make an appointment.

The office experience was not a good one. They want your money up front and leave you to deal with…read moreyour insurance company to get your money back. I never had to do this with any dentist in all my years. Normally they would bill the insurance companies as I have two dental plans and what the plans did not pay, the doctor would bill me. Dr. Mehta has the audacity to say to me that she's not going anywhere. Hello! I'm not going anywhere either. She has my address and she knows where to find me. I pay my bills and don't need to be shaken down for $2500 before she would work on me. Plus I had to put $1,000 deposit. She was recommended to me by a friend so therefore I did it, a big mistake! When I asked the front desk how much it cost for the tooth because everything was estimated they told me $2300 so they owe me money. They billed the insurance company over $4000. I found all this out because I am constantly calling the insurance companies. The girls at the front desk said oh you could just take the extra money and just put it towards your next visit. No, I don't want to do that because there is not going to be any future visits after she corrects the horrible work performed by her. The girls at the office are incompetent. My insurance company kept saying that they never received anything from them. The girls at the office said they sent it three times. My insurance company said they never received it. Once they have your money, they don't care about you. I put out of my pocket $2500. Dr. Mehta put a bridge in my mouth and I have not eaten in four days. Only liquids because food gets stuck where she put the bridge. I went to her on Friday January 14, 2025 and she cleaned where there was food stuck that I could not get out. I woke up Saturday morning OK until I ate 2 crackers, then I was in agony again. I called her office at 2 am and left a message . I was in so much pain I could not sleep. She returned my call 2 days later on Monday and could not get me in until Wednesday, January 22, 2025. I work and I am not taking off work nor going in before work to be in agony at work. She could care less. I told her that this was not a good fit, and it needs to come out and redone. She said she would take it out and leave the hole there. I told her that she either reimburses me or makes me another bridge. So needless to say I have to go back on Wednesday January 22, 2025. She hung up on me three times during this conversation because she didn't want to hear or like what I was saying . I called her back and told her it was very unprofessional to hang up on her patients. She tried to tell me that the 3 hang ups were dropped calls. She doesn't know how to deal with patients/myself and has no patience. She was tossing her tools around because she was angry that I was complaining that she didn't do a good job. She did not like what I had to say and was acting like a bratty child. She told me that she takes a little pouch with her toothbrush, her pics and whatever else she needs to get the food out of her teeth. I said, you do this every time you go out to dinner and she said yes. Well, I can't go through all those motions and carry a pouch with dental tools in my pocketbook. Something is wrong because the bridge is not flush against my gums. That is why food is getting jammed in there. I have three friends that have bridges and never had a problem like this. She needs to reimburse me or make another mold and not at my expense nor my insurances. She also made a cap for me, the tooth is at an angle crooked. It was never like that prior to her making that cap, she insists that that's the way it should be. I am not happy with that either. I wore braces for four years so my teeth were straight. Once she finishes or fixes what she started, I won't be going back. As I'm writing this, I am in pain and will be until Wednesday. My insurance company is aware of all of this. I am so unhappy and I'm in so much pain.
