    While Dr. Licata might be a really good surgeon, I think it is important he remember who gave him…read morethe gift in his hands, and that is God. His bedside manner with elderly people is horrendous. In all the years of doctors my parents have seen, they have never had a doctor be as aloof with them as Dr. Licata. My uncle had surgery by him, and he said he was as cold as ice. My mother had surgery and he never even came to tell my father or any of us that she was in recovery and did well. At my mothers post op visit, he never even acknowledged my father who was sitting in the room with her. Any other doctor would have shook his hand and introduced himself. We have talked to quite a few other elderly people who have gone to him and they all say the same thing about his coldness. Perhaps he is uncomfortable with the elderly and if so, send them to someone who is kind and compassionate. His office staff is wonderful, and he should be thankful for at least that. I suggest he take some lessons from them about customer service. If it wasnt for how he treats people, I would have given him 5 stars. I really hope he makes some changes, and they will have to start in his heart.

    Two terrible situations. I called for a specialized test ordered by my doctor and gave them the…read morefull paperwork. This was around Dec. 23. They said they needed more info from my doctor. They would call him, and I should follow up in the new year. I called right after Jan. 1. They said they did not have my paperwork or any record I had even spoken to them. I went for a different test last month. I called and called for results. I left messages and they never got back to me. I finally got a call back from a patient advocate who was full of attitude and said they had no responsibility to give me the results and to check with my doctor. I asked if someone could've called me back to tell me that? And she said no, that wasn't their problem. Very nice. I'd rather go to a veterinarian than return to Good Sam.

    This review is only for the trauma unit. After a car…read moreaccident, a family member was rushed here via ambulance. They were originally going to bring to Valley hospital in Paramus, but decided at the last minute that they did not have a trauma unit so Good Sam would be the place to go. Throughout the 24 hour visit, the nurses were kind and responsive but definitely seemed pretty busy and it was hard to flag them down when we needed an extra blanket, for example. We had 3 to 4 different doctors checking in from various departments including internal medicine, on call Dr and Head of the Trauma unit which was great because we got a wide range of specialists. We appreciated their thoroughness and gentle manner when going through the details from the accident and how it impacted the body, results from xray and such. Not once did we feel rushed or that they genuinely didn't care. Unfortunately, it was a very busy night so although we had a room initially in the unit, they were not able to move us to a quieter place to rest overnight until late into the evening. They were patients laying in the hallways on beds to the lack of rooms. Not sure if it is always like this or it was just one of those days, but it made it pretty loud and I'm sure those patients were uncomfortable. Would 100% come back here if I needed to go to an ER or a trauma unit.

    In July of 2025, I underwent cataract surgery in my left eye under the care of Dr. Jeffrey Van…read moreInwegen of New Jersey Regional Eye Care. Full disclosure, I understand that 1) every surgery has its attendant risks; and 2) I underwent this procedure, including the implantation of a multi-focal IOL, voluntarily. Up until then, no one had suggested that I undergo the surgery. In fact, my ophthalmologist had advised that my cataracts were "not quite ripe". However, when I mentioned this to the surgeon, he said the technology underlying cataract surgery had advanced, such that the "not ripe" verbiage was outmoded, and no longer suitably descriptive. Following the surgery, the vision in my left eye was impaired, and blurry. Dr. Van suggested that we move on to the right eye, but I was naturally uncomfortable going that route. My vision improved very slightly over the following three months but remains much worse, with or without glasses, than it ever has been. Dr. Van offered a prescription for remedial glasses but the prescription's reading addition was alarmingly incorrect. I consulted with another ophthalmologist who has had specialized experience with post-cataract surgery problems. That Doctor adjusted Dr. Van's lens prescription so that I can now read a Kindle, but that's about it. Reading even a large print book, or sheet music is impossible, just too blurry. I am writing this on a laptop; blurry. It takes forever, and is very frustrating. In follow up visits following the procedure, two different doctors in the practice performed eye exams. The first said: "we'll get you back to 20/20 with glasses". The second said: "you'll have to explain all this to Dr. Van". During my final visit, I explained to Dr. Van that my vision was still blurry, and had been so since the surgery. He dismissed my problem in an offhand, and casual way, and made it seem that there was nothing really wrong. But then offered a referral to another Doctor, specialized in the treatment of "these sort of things"(!) At this point, I have seen a Doctor at a renowned eye hospital, who proposed revision surgery, but explained that such corrective surgery is more complex, not generally covered by Medicare, and riskier than the original surgery. These days the best way for me to read involves removing my glasses, covering the left (IOL) eye, and using my right eye which is pretty good without correction. Otherwise, even large print is blurry. These then are my opinions: First, listen to your trusted ophthalmologist - he or she will tell you when you're ready for cataract surgery. Do not undergo cataract surgery unless you have experienced significant visual impairment. I realize now I had no particular problem reading (with bifocal glasses) prior to the surgery. Second, do not opt for the multi-focal lens - especially if your vision with glasses is fine, as mine was. You're probably over 70, and no one is looking at you anymore. Uncle Sam won't pay for the multi-focal IOL procedure, and if there IS a poor outcome or refractive "surprise" as I experienced, those type problems are easier to fix (usually with glasses) if the patient has opted for the monofocal or "standard" lens. I wish someone had told me that up front. That part of my experience at NJ Eye Care was a hurried "assembly line" approach, as in "just sign here". Read the releases. Take your time. Stay away from the multi-focal lens. And stay away from NJ Regional Eye Care. I gave the 2 star rating because the office is neat, and the front office staff is great; and because it was easy to schedule follow-up visits.
