Without a doubt, Dr. Peter Carrazzone is excellent, based on my personal experience. He is truly an advocate in support of his patients. He listens intently and carefully evaluates the range of options and opinions. He would not move forward unless he was confident that his direction was the best solution at that time for those who were counting on him. He does not rush me if I have a question, and he takes a reasonable amount of time to explain and clarify. We are lucky! read more

Dr Carrazzone is a wonderful doctor. Although my father sees Dr Salerno, he rounds when covering for her at hospitals. Very nice man, answers all questions thoroughly and honestly, and wonderful bedside manner. Either doctor is a wonderful choice and vanguard medical group provides wonderful service. read more

If I could give zero star rating to High Mountain Health (North Haledon), I would. While the Drs and PAs are average, the staff is absolutely horrible. They show no compassionate and are down right rude. There is zero follow up on their part regarding results; you need to hunt them down for the very thing they promised to do and then get attitude. Forget trying to get on their books, they are always overbooked. Since Dr Carazzone grew his practice to a comprehensive group practice, the service and quality has suffered tremendously. It's all about the business. Getting more patients on the calendar and giving less time with the providers-all to increase their bottom line. I've been a patient for years. Staying on despite the above because it generally was convenient to have different specialties and a lab right down stairs. After the treatment I received today from the receptionist, I am done and will be finding a new primary care physician immediately. read more

I would give them negative stars if that was an option. I've been coming here since about 2003 and they get worse every year. This was originally high mountain health and changed to vanguard medical due to a falling out within the company. I moved to Hopatcong from Wayne and the only reason I still came here was because the doctor I saw was really good until she left the practice...I wonder why. I had an appointment today for a prescription refill...I'm still not sure why they can't call it in, but it's likely to charge me and my insurance for an office visit. Anyway this place is approximately an hour away depending on traffic and of course a car had to flip over on route 80, which only left one lane open. I got here about 25 minutes late and was told I need to wait until they see all the other patients!!! I got here about an hour ago and I'm just sitting here watching patients go in one by one. I still have no idea how long I'm going to be here. So two hours in gridlock and possibly several more hours here in the waiting room, and then at least another hour drive back. Is a refilling a prescription supposed to be an all day event!?!?! This will certainly be the last time I come here read more

I had to wait over an hour to see Peter Carrazzone. His staff asked for a check as soon as I walked in the door. I didn't even have a chance to take off my coat. His staff were unprofessional and uncaring. They acted as if they were doing me a personal favor by taking my money and accepting my insurance. They became nasty when I tried to advocate for myself. When my insurance did not cover something they acted aggressively trying to collect. They got my name wrong repeatedly even though it was right in front of them. They did not know how to process the claim properly then took it out on me. read more

Dr. Carrazzone is the best family practice doctor I've ever dealt with. He is thorough and had diagnosed some problems that other doctors have missed. My wife and I have been using him for 15 years and are completely satisfied. The specialists he has referred us to have also been very good. Over the years he has built up his practice into an organization called High Mountain Health. It consists of radiological, physical therapy, and other practices which I haven't made use of. We have been happy with those practices we have used. We have recommended Dr. Carrazzone to family and friends and they have all been happy with him. The only negative is with most of the other doctors in his family practice. He has about 10 other doctors (MDs, DOs, PAs) working in High Mountain Health. Aside from Dr. Carrazzone there is only one other doctor I would trust for anything except the most mundane matter. If Dr. Carrazzone ever left the practice I would not go back to HMH. One update six months later - just before (actually 1 day) I moved across country I had a bad scare with whatI thought would be a third episode of cancer. I couldn't see Dr. Carrazzone so I saw Dr. Perdomo. He immediately got me set up for an X-Ray and when it showed something suspicious he got me scheduled for a CAT scan on the morning of my closing and then called the radiology department to put a rush on the results. Even though there was an hour wait to see the doctor for an unscheduled visit he knew how upset I was and called me into the office to go over the CAT scan (which showed no problem). Also, when I had my first episode of cancer in 2008 (a cyst on my chest) he again pushed the radiology department for an immediate sonagram and made them send him the result immediately. He suggested a biosy but since Dr. Carrazzone had been my primary doctor for over 15 years I did get a second opinion from him who, knowing my histroy of cysts, decided to put me on anibiotics for two weeks. I think Dr. Carrazzone's plan of action was just as good as Dr. Perdomo's. If I ever move back to NJ (fat chance!) I would be comfortable using either Dr. Perdomo or Dr. Carrazzone read more

I came to see Dr. Carrazzone because of the knee pain. I was seen by diff. doctor before a was prescribed Voltaren gel which did absolutely nothing and pain was getting worse. Dr. Carrazzone is very meticulous, stated that my knee was swollen and hot on touch. I received cortizone shot and in three days I was almost pain free. Now I have no problem with walking a doing things around the house. I am very happy with the results, next time I need doctor I will go to him only. read more
