Dr. Fiesta is a nice and great person but his staff like to violate the HIPPA law. Unfortunately this happened a couple of times

This place is simply amazing ! If your looking for an attention primary care doctor look no further ! The doctors here listen to your concerns and your needs. They get a A+ for providing amazing patient care. I go to APN Laurie who is always helpful with any concerns I may have . The longest I've ever had to wait to get seen is 20-30 minutes which isn't bad especially cause I used to wait hours! read more

In was referred to Dr. Festa by my Walgreen's pharmacist, after my primary physician of 30+ years--who had been treating me for a very long list of complications related to Post-treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome--retired. My initial infection occurred in 1987, but so little was known about Lyme disease back then that the diagnosis wasn't confirmed until 1994; by that time I'd endured a 3-week hospitalization for one complication, and seen multiple specialists in New Jersey and at major medical centers in Manhattan for "indeterminant" symptoms. Time and again, these specialists told me my case was too complicated for them, and I should go elsewhere. Luckily, my primary New Jersey doctor never gave up on me, and somehow kept me alive through multiple crises, which left me desperate when he retired. Health care delivery has changed dramatically since I first became sick. Most current encounters at institutions such as Mount Sinai, Columbia Presbyterian, NYU Langone, Bellevue, as well as private practice specialists (there have been maybe 4 exceptions) make me feel like a defective widget on a conveyor belt being shunted through a repair factory...the doctors being little more than assembly-line workers. I mentioned this to Dr. Festa during my first visit, and he explained that was the reason he started his own practice. And based on my experience, he has remained true to his commitment. He has proved to be one of those old-fashioned, Marcus-Welby-type, general practitioners who takes "ownership" of his patients. I spent most of my career as a medical journalist (both reporter and editor), which means I've developed a good sense of when health care providers really know their stuff, and when they're just bluffing or phoning it in. There have been times when I've mentioned something esoteric to Dr. Festa, and he's been conversant--proving he really did know about the issue. I'm constantly impressed by the breadth and depth of his knowledge. But equally impressive have been times when I mentioned something he didn't know, and instead of playing the omniscient doctor, he asked for more information. My retired doctor used to do that; he once said to me, "Why wouldn't I want to know?...it makes me a better doctor." The same holds true for Dr. Festa. I cannot stress this point enough. He is extremely knowledgable, but without the doctor arrogance or attitude I encounter so often. The fact that he loves being a doctor, loves helping people get and stay healthy, constantly breaks through. Medicine is a vocation, not a job for him. He is in touch with the human component of being a caregiver, and not afraid even to share a laugh. Within the last 18 months, Dr. Festa clearly saved my life. One of the worst complications of Lyme disease has included Crohn's disease, which hospitalized me twice. I again got very sick in September 2023. Two gastroenterologists at Mt. Sinai in Chelsea reviewed my history and refused to take me on as a patient. One outright cancelled my scheduled appointment, and the second met with me but refused to do a workup, despite the fact that I was desperately ill. I saw Dr. Festa two weeks later, who immediately suspected my symptoms were from an infection and not a Crohn's flare-up. It took 2 weeks for me to find a local gastroenterologist, and another 4 to confirm and treat a yersinia infection (a food-poisoning bacterium so rare that LabCorp had to report me to the health department). Had I gotten proper treatment at Mt. Sinai, the infection would not have festered for more than two months before being treated. I was ill for most of 2024, and given the severity of my symptoms truly believe the food poisoning would have killed me if not for Dr. Festa's intervention. Finally, I need to mention how extraordinary Dr. Festa's staff is...a conscientious crew that treats patients with dignity and respect, and is diligent about following up, answering questions, and returning phone calls. For example, Dr. Festa has an extremely skilled, in-office lab technician/phlebotomist on site. No more extra trips to, nor wasted time dealing with, LabCorp or Quest for routine blood work etc. And office manager Mitch is especially kind and efficient dealing with a senior like me. Despite being frantically busy, he recently spent around 45 minutes helping me in his office while we put my cell phone on speaker and called United Healthcare to straighten out a billing problem. He also went out of his way to assist me with a NYC Disability Parking Permit. I've dealt with enough staff at major medical centers to know how exceptional Mitch's efforts are, along with those of the entire crew. No one lives forever, and at 72 I'm realistic about my prognosis. After my primary retired, I thought it was time to throw in the towel. What an extraordinary twist of fate to be referred to Dr. Festa; he and his staff routinely give me hope that I still may have a few more good years left. read more

My mom went here for for nasolabial filler and saw immediate results. Dr. Festa also treats hair loss. My mom brought her friend here and the hair treatment worked! Her hair grew back fuller and healthier. Aside from both my mom and her friend loving their results, Dr. Festa is very knowledgeable and honest. His staff are incredibly kind and accommodating. I recommend any one looking to enhance their appearance or to fix a cosmetic problem to call Dr. Festa's office. read more

Best doctor ever. Been seeing Dr. Festa for over a decade and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a caring provider who knows a lot about a lot of different health conditions and who cares about your quality of life. He has been there for me through thick and thin and always takes time to get to know his patients as more than just numbers. His methods are not cookie cutter and just think he is the best. Thanks and enjoy read more

I LOVE Dr.Festa, Dr.Laurie Kuprick, Mitch, and all the staff. I have been a patient for YEARS, and ALL have treated me. When Dr. Festa had to move his location, I absolutely followed him! These aren't just doctors-they are compassionate, understanding, patient and genuinely love helping their patients. The whole office staff is super friendly & welcoming. Dr. Festa has amazing services that he provides, even aesthetics !! They also specialize in addiction and if anyone is struggling, please let Dr. Festa help you-this place totally understands and will be there for you. I can't say enough about my doctors, this office & the staff.....how great they are! read more

Dr. Festa, Mitch and his staff are WONDERFUL in so many ways! It is very hard to find a good Doctor nowadays, however Dr. Festa goes above and beyond for his patients. He changed both my fiancé and my life for the better. We have been seeing him for at least 5 years now and I would recommend him to anyone I know! Dr. Festa is knowledgeable, experienced and incredibly kind. He has a very broad medical background with many credentials and certificates, etc. He doesn't judge you or yell at you if you do something you shouldn't have. He is very thorough with his appointments and does not rush you. Mitchell is a sweetheart (anyone that writes anything differently on here, don't believe them. Not to bring any light to the very nasty review someone left on here, however if do you read it, it is pretty clear that this person was obviously a problem patient and was maybe not given what he "wanted" - remember - "needs" and "wants" are two entirely different things! - I am truly surprised Yelp did not take that review down as it is not only rude, it is incredibly irrelevant and it is clear they are just writing out of spite. The service that Dr. Festa and his staff provide here is definitely not an easy job to do.) Mitchell is always very helpful and knowledgeable as well. Dr. Festa's staff are very friendly, organized and thorough. (Aris, Amy, etc.) Aris has a lot of experience with insurance companies so she, as well as Mitchell, helped me out a lot when my insurance company was being very difficult about approving a medication I needed. I remember I got super frustrated and upset with my insurance company so I called Dr. Festa's office and I got Mitchell, who not only very nicely calmed me down (I think I was crying too!), he also took the matter into his own hands and solved it for me to alleviate my stress! Like I stated previously, they go above and beyond to help their patients so that is a perfect example of the great service you will get here! ** Bottom line, Dr. Festa is the BEST Doctor I have EVER been to! I literally continue to live in New Jersey so I am able to see him (due to insurance reasons I can only see Drs. in NJ). Their office is always super clean and very welcoming. I hope that some of Dr. Festa's other patients get online and give him the awesome reviews that he deserves to thank him!! I am alive today because of Dr. Festa and his staff so I would give an infinite amount of stars if I could! read more

Great experience from begin to end. Check in was quick, efficient and my wait time to see the Dr was minimal. Once in the room Dr. Festa made me feel comfortable and at ease. Not only were my medical needs taken care of but he also offers cosmetic procedures which I schedule for before leaving. Jump to my Botox appointment. Again wait time was minimal. He explained what he was going to do and what to expect. I love love love my result! Highly recommend!!!! read more
