He always spends time, has great bedside manner, charismatic, and always supportive. Front office always has been on the ball and always friendly. The office is clean and has very nice, calming ambiance. Side note: Dr. Polimeni was able to diagnose and save my Grandfather's life. If Dr. Polimeni did not diagnose the issue and have an ambulance take him directly to the hospital, my Grandfather would have died within 24 hours. He was able to give my family and I another 4 years with my Grandfather. He calls it his greatest save.

The staff has always processed us through rather quickly. If some people are experiencing a long wait time, it may be because the doctors take their time with patients. An emergency appointment can cut into their schedule and back up appointments. People have to expect that occasional problem and realize that they would also want the doctor to take the time if they were to experience such an emergency unscheduled appointment.

Dr. CRISTOUDIAS is not only a great, intelligent surgeon but a really nice person. She explained…read moreeverything to me before my cancer surgery and the day before she even had a radiologist do a lymphoscintigraphy (a special procedure that was like a breast mapping to get a radioactive substance and die into the cancerous tissue and shoot it sideways towards my lymph nodes to be able to see more detail during surgery.) When I woke up from having the lumpectomy I said, "Am I done here ....Did I have surgery yet?" because I wasn't in any pain. The nurse said you did great and as she said it the surgeon walked in and told me that everything went well. I asked why I wasn't in a pain and she said she put a time release pain medicine into my breast that would release slowly and the next day and that way the pain won't be bad and she said they also gave me some pain medicine in my IV. I have had ovarian cancer surgery as well as other surgeries in my life and I was always in a lot of pain when I awoke. I think this surgeon is amazing. On top of that she has the nicest staff. Whenever I call a girl named Zanayah who answers in the breast cancer department anyways knows me by name when I'm there for a visit. Normally that wouldn't be unusual if I had an appointment, but I had to go in today because some of my sticky wrapping on my breast came off in the shower (which the RN said sometimes happens). As soon as I walked in Zanayah said, Hi Dawn how are you? I was shocked that she knew that it was me. She said we're expecting you because you had called earlier. The nurse that re-wrapped the area for me was named Karen and she is always so nice. There's also a lady named Lynn that's very nice and the PA named Liz is also wonderful. I had a pre op appointment with Karen, Liz, and a lady that was fairly new named Rachel and they are all so intelligent and so sweet. I wouldn't be able to name all the people that were so nice to me at the pavilion at Valley hospital because it would take too many pages but this is a great hospital and the staff is fantastic. The anesthesiologist doctor Harvey assured me ahead of time that everything would be OK. I was scared since years ago I was giving a paralytic when they put me to sleep and when I woke up from having ovarian cancer surgery at memirial Sloan Kettering, I was paralyzed and it was very scary. She said we don't even have to give you a paralytic. She told me that once you're under general anesthetia for this operation, you don't need it. At this hospital the nurses give you their cell phone numbers and if they don't pick up it's because they're working with a patient and they call back literally within 3 minutes. Today I called and someone got back to me 3 minutes later. I feel very safe with the surgeon and this hospital. The doctor also made an additional incision under my arm to take out some extra lymph nodes to biopsy them just in case anything could have traveled in the future and she took out some surrounding breast tissue as well. This way I will live a long time. Very proactice team! The surgeon is also very cheerful and bubbly which puts me in a good mood when I'm in there and I would normally be nervous. It's very obvious that she loves her job.

Dr. Jeffrey Barasch was highly recommended by an excellent internist in Bergen County.  I found…read more he helped me in ways that other doctors could not or did not.  His office continues to be most helpful.  Lisa Finnegan is the nurse practitioner who works with him and she is encouraging, diligent, thorough, personable, reasonable and uses excellent judgement.  There are a number of other employees who also work in the Ridgewood Office.  I found all of the staff people to be helpful, knowledgeable, efficient, personable, professional and thorough.  I recommend this highly-recommended medical office to others who have sleep or breathing issues to address.  Some of the names of other staff include, Lisa (a second person with this name), Karen (not sure of spelling), Amber and Sheenah. Employees at the Valley Medical Sleep lab, who were efficient, helpful, polite, knowledgeable and positive in other ways include, but not limited to: Erika, John and Katherine.

My husband was told there is no reason the appliance isn't working and he should have seen the dentist who made the appliance. I called to explain the situation and how before making the appt I explained what has been done and asked what we needed to do at this point....and was pretty much told tough luck....BEWARE!!

He is down to earth and very skilled at his…read moreprofession, he even trains many new docs which I find a good trait in Drs, it allows them to both teach and learn new tricks. I also love that he will sometimes pivot and suggest non traditional methods like I had this aching pain in my wrist for years, he showed me a pressure point, applied pressure for a few minutes and the pain was gone for hours. I use that trick all the time, Ive had several other doctors send me for tests and scans and he gave me a workable, less invasive option that honestly I prefer. Dont get turned off by the bad reviews, Dr Tailor is a sweetheart of a Doctor, like most bad reviews those folks just need an outlet for their anger outside of yelp or are just nasty people to begin with.

As a family member showed up at the nurses station to get an update on his condition, they were greeted by a nurse who had a very poor command of the English language. After a few attempts It was understood that she would contact the nurse who is attending to my father. After an hour we visited the nurses station again because the attending nurse never came to see us. After another hour the nurse finally came to inform us of his condition. They did stabilize him. When we returned in the morning he was completely soaked in his own urine, as nobody attended to him the entire evening. My father told us he made repeated attempts to get someone to clean him up, but no one would help. So we ended cleaning ourselves. There appears to be a shortage of nurses on the in relation patient load We have been using the services of Hackensack Medical Center for 30 years, and have felt very confident of the care received. But when Meridian came into the picture, the quality of the care has suffered
