Gina ToMilo Local Guide·44 reviews·1 photo 12 minutes ago NEW The doctors are great, but getting to them is a miserable experience. The staff is curt and dismissive. I got to my appointment on time and wasn't told the doctor was running late. 25 minutes later, I inquired how much longer. The surly woman at the desk told me there was still a patient before me to be seen and if i left that I would be charged for the visit because I had checked in. I told her that I needed to get back to work and was informed this is the policy. There were no less than 5 office workers standing in the room behind the desk, all of whom could have called to inform patients the doctor was running behind. As soon as they saw I was asking for help, they scattered like roaches. I never saw the doctor, never got a call from the office manager and now am stuck. I lost all that time, was late for work and never got seen by a doctor.

Care before and after surgery has been superb. I've recommended him to several friends and all have been quite happy.

Extremely disappointing experience…read more I waited over two hours to be seen on multiple occasions despite having a scheduled appointment. What made the situation even more frustrating was being told repeatedly that I was "next" to be seen, only to watch other patients who arrived after me and had later appointment times get called back first. When I asked about it, the explanations I received from the staff were inconsistent and didn't match what I had personally observed. Rather than acknowledging the excessive wait time and poor communication, I felt like I was being given excuses. The doctor's explanation only added to my frustration and did not address the actual issue. In fact, he took an incredibly rude attitude toward me when I inquired politely about it. I understand that medical offices can run behind, but waiting over two hours more than once is unacceptable. After speaking with others in the waiting room, it was clear that I was not the only one with this experience. Patients deserve honest communication and respect for their time. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.

I'm amazed because he is kind of young but he is incredibly good at what he does and he's also very knowledgeable. I've seen several surgeons, physiatrists (pain doctors) and orthopedists -- and since they all say things I don't understand and can't get it explained in the five minutes they're willing to give me, I come back to Joe with my questions. He's got a great bedside manner and explains things to me so I really understand. He's so smart and he's very caring. And most of all, he has helped me. I have improved over the weeks that I have been going to see him and feel much better. Many of the PT assistants are absolutely adorable and i like them all. Every one of them -- kind, nice, attentive and helpful. Thanks so much for great care!

That, to me, means that they were never reattached. My knee makes a lot noise when I walk, and it hurts. Went back a few times, and the "doctor" said, he'd give me a new knee, but I'd have to pay for it. Is that some kind of a joke???? I do not know that the other reviews are on the same "Hartzband", but they can NOT be speaking of the one that I went to in Paramus NJ. He has NO personality, and worse yet, doesn't look at you when he speaks. He looks over you, around you, but not at you.

Dr. Hartzband is unbelievable!…read more Due to severe arthritis, my girlfriend needed a complete hip replacement. Dr. Hartzband was confident and reassuring. We arrived at the outpatient surgical facility at 6AM, the surgery started at 8 and we were home at 6PM the SAME DAY! The PT folks even had her practice going up and down stairs before we left. The incision was small and pain was minimal for that type of procedure. Recovery time is significant of course, but she is progressing nicely, thanks to Dr. Hartzband and his excellent staff. I am convinced that they are the best in their field.

He screwed up my Aunt's knee surgery and other patients. When it was time for my meniscus knee tears to be operated on I made an Appt to see for myself.

So thankful I didn't have him operate (went outside the hospital). I'm wondering if the positive reviews are false or paid off. Seriously avoid this Dr. I don't care where he practices from now.
