Perhaps some offices are better than others under the network but the office in Clifton Ave, Clifton, NJ. stands apart from the others when it comes to service.

I really appreciate all the efforts that Isis makes to help me with my problem on gathering the information about my visit, I was pleasantly surprised but thankful to know that they are people who still care about how I feel and the reason for my visit. Best doctor visit ever. Great work! The doctors are good even though you can't always see the same doctor (that really bothers me) but the next doctor I saw had good skills and it seems well prepared and knowledgeable about medicine so that make up for it. This is a special thanks to all medical Assistants that care about us, and to make us feel that we are important.

My childhood best friend had a beautiful baby boy, and I attended a Brit Mila ceremony conducted by…read moreDr. Dania Rumbak. In conversations before the bris, I knew that my friend was nervous about the process, the ceremony, and the actual circumcision. I can say with confidence that Dr. Rumbak put the family's mind at ease both with her expertise and her gentle approach. As a "spectator" at the ceremony, Dr. Rumbak passed around sheets so we can all follow along and feel part of the ceremony, and explained what different blessings meant. She also added some Jewish text in a modern and relevant way, which I appreciated, and my family continued to discuss post ceremony. The sweet baby did super well and was calm throughout the entire process. Truthfully, I didn't even know when the actual circumcision actually happened because she was so gentle and discrete. At the end of the ceremony, many people went up to Dr. Rumbak to compliment her on one of the best brit mila's they ever went to, and many asked for her card (including my mom for our temple!). She has a great business partner in Shachar, who socialized with the guests of the ceremony, kept everything organized, and was just an all around stand up guy. Oh, and how great that she is a mohel AND a doctor. Talk about putting your mind at ease..that will definitely do it. Highly recommend.

Would have loved so much to give a glowing review of Dr. Rumbak but unfortunately we look back on…read morethe day of my son's bris and what transpired after with a lot of sadness. Dr. Rumbak deserves credit and thanks for her discretion in not circumcising our son the day of his bris due to a urological condition she noticed in her ore-ceremony examination. We are thankful for that. She performed what essentially worked out to a baby naming ceremony for us. Obviously the day was emotional to begin with and the news she couldn't circumcise was extremely disappointing and heartbreaking since this was a day we looked forward to for so long. In the days after the bris we were able to absorb the events better and realized exactly what happened. To begin with, my wife asked for a program to keep as they were being collected (yes, collected), and the response was, "I collect them." She said the same to my mom (baby's grandma). We consider this ridiculous - even if the baby's grandparents couldn't have one, at least the parents should. When I emailed Dr. Rumbak about the issue I'm about to describe, I also mentioned the program and that part of my email was left unaddressed. Here's the major problem, though. We paid $800 for a circumcision plus $150 for travel from Manhattan to Nassau. We were happy to do this because we really liked Dr. Rumbak on the phone. However, after the bris, we had a bit of a realization that really irked us. Why were we never offered any kind of refund for the circumcision not being performed? It really should have been offered that day, on the spot, but it wasn't. Days and weeks turned to months and we still were never offered anything. We didn't even get an email or phone call to check on our son given the medical issue Dr. Rumbak identified. This was surprising given the emotional nature of the day but also because part of Dr. Rumbak's service (advertised on her web site and vouched for in her reviews) is her frequent follow up with the family. Finally after a few months, I emailed her explaining we feel we are owed some kind of refund due to the most critical part of the ceremony, the circumcision, not being performed. It is that expertise for which we paid. Dr. Rumbak issued a $200 refund, saying that the rate for a baby naming is $600. It's unfortunate such a beautiful day was soured by the experience we had. As new parents we feel we were, in a way, taken advantage of. Dr. Rumbak did ultimately give some money back, but we feel we shouldn't have had to ask. Experiences like this are what make people cynical about organized religion. The right thing to do would have been to give us a refund without us having to ask. We would not recommend her.

I was greeted by Jesenia & her smile instantly brightened up the room. Her whole demeanor made me feel so comfortable to be there; I was glad, since I'm usually a bit nervous during Dr.'s visits. I also met Cynthia & let me tell you, she not only made my visit extremely smooth but she knew exactly what she was talking about. I was pleasantly surprised on what a knowledgeable & caring person she was during my intake. It takes a special person to be aware that you need to treat the comfort level of a patient first & not just rush them in & out. Cynthia was definitely one of those special people. I saw the Dr. on call, I can't remember his name at the moment, but he also made me feel super comfortable & I could tell he was extremely skilled & a very caring MD. I appreciated his medical recommendations & will be more than happy to be back next year for my physical again & also will highly recommend Riverside Union City on 42nd St., without hesitation.

Review update:…read more Today, the Patient Experience Manager/LPN got back to me with the response I was dreading... that they didn't find any evidence that their staff or anyone took anything of 'monetary value'.

Horror story. My daughter was a 22 week preemie born in 2000. She weighed 1 pound 3 ounces, was on…read moreoxygen for 3 years, and survived, thanks to a great neonneonatal and preemie team with Doctors (Manginello, Grazzi, Giuliano, Jeshion, Duncan, Onyeije, Velchec, Benson), and the host of NICU nursing, pulmonary and radiology supportat at Lenox Hill Hospital & Valley Hospital she is alive and thriving today. However, once under the care of Tenafly Pediatrics, she started having migraines. Eventually I found out that the migraines were a symptom of a slow growing congenital brain tumor. My daughter was frequently seen by Dr. Sugarman of Tenafly Pediatrics, yet neither of us were taken seriously about the smptoms which progressed through her early teen years. She suffered from vomiting, nausea, dizziness while walking, and hyper stimulation with agitation in sunlight or strong artificial light. Dr. Sugarman finally referred her to a neurologist, Dr. Heilbronerer. Over time both doctors began treating me with disdain and increasing frustration: the last time we saw Dr. Sugarmam, she scoffed at me and chastised me about telling my daughter to cover up as we went out into the winter weather because I mentioned it was "phenumonia weather". I was shocked and insulted by her ignorance in taking my statement so literally. For the first time, I allowed myself to question her character, if she was racist and/ or classist, or assumed her Harvard BA out ranked me, but I have an MA from Stanford...which she probably did not know. Noerheless I followed up on the referral to Dr. Heilbroner (the neurologist referred by Dr. Sugarman Tenafly Pediatrics), and he REFUSED to see my daughter who arrived to her appointment in pain and distress, and in spite of the fact that I had a note from the school nurse stating she needed to be seen ASAP due to excessive vomiting of clear liquid in school. At the time, my husband and I were divorcing. Doctor Heilbronner refused to examine my daughter because, as he stated, her father told him not to. I left the office feeling like someone had aimed a shotgun at my daughter's temple. Over time, her symptoms worsened and became more frequent. An audiologist finally recommended that I immediately take her to Hackensack ER if the symptoms worsened. I did, and Her tumor was quickly diagnosed as a Clival Chirdoma, and It had to be removed ASAP. Because it was rare, the surgical team searched for a specialist who had removed this type of tumor. While in ER, I was called by a neurologist at NYU who questioned me as to "why" I refused Dr. Sugarmam's referral to take my daughter to NYU. I explained to the NYU doctor that I had absolutely NO idea of a referral being made by Dr. Sugarman. Furthermore, my daughter could not be moved as she was being prepped for emergency surgery. There was a pause of silence on the phone, then that compassionate doctor apologized to me. He apologized for, "bothering" me, and said they (NYU Neurology) had no idea that Clival Chordoma was her diagnosis, and NYU did not specialize in removing this tumor. He asked my pardon, and wished all the best in her surgery. Dr. Sugarman never returned to the hospital to talk with me about my daughter. Fortunately, the tumor was removed by a great team of specialists from Hackensack and Morrtistown: Doctors Kaptin, Thompson, Mazzola and Benson removed the tumor in its entirety. Four years later, when my daughter was 16 and I fully engaged in helping her survive this tumor while working full-time, her dad gained full custody, based on false claims that I had Munchsusens by procxy, and that it was I who was making our daughter ill. In spite of my daughter having had a congenital brain tumor removed, Dr. Sugarman almost immediately fed life into the accusations against me in order to cover her medical neglect of my daughter's health condition. She went as far to try to brain wash my daughter by calling her and telling her, "Your Mother was bad to you." I was with my daughter, with the phone on speaker. Hearing Dr. Sugarman say this was horrifying, shocking, and devastaing. It was clear that she did this to cover up for having missed the signs of the tumor. Dr. Sugarman took advantage of her position as a physician in order to hide the 13 years I had reported my daughter's tumor symptoms to her. It has been 10 years since the tumor was removed, and we are both still healing from the psychological pain and devastation caused by Dr. Sugarman. Assigned blame is one of the greatest pains that any parent could experience. Dr. Sugarman used the court to hide her mistake, having missed the signs of a growing tumor in my daughter's brain. I could not prepare for court and had no money to pay lawyers. What I did have was God, the determination to help her heal, and the strength to stand up for her medical rights against a doctor who falsely assigned blame to me to cover her misdiagnoses.
