Took two hours to get a DOT physical and drug screening. I was the first one there at open.

WORST medical doctor to be taken care of. Had came in for a follow up after having a deep laceration. She was suppose to access it and determine if I was good. Literally removed the first couple of stiches and wound popped open like nothing. The doctor stared at the wound for about 10 minutes and literally said I'm good to back to work( even after explaining what my job consisted me of). If that wasn't enough the incompantant female doctor dared to state "seems like u don't want to work." Only complain is the doctor being incompetent besides that the staff up front were very attentive. read more

The worst concentra you can go to, the wait time is enormous, there aren't enough chairs. The reception is nice enough, but you will be waiting over an hour, I'd recommend scheduling whatever kind of screening you need at another facility. I've been here for over two hours for a pre employment drug screening and a DOT Physical. Care is about as good as you can expect at one of these places. 2/10 zero frills, basic as it gets. Again I must emphasize, if you have any kind of pre employment screening, talk to your employer, rearrange it for another location, do not go to this Concentra. I've been STANDING for over 2 hours. It was full when I got here at 10:30am, only 2.5hrs after opening. Took an hour for the drug test, still waiting for the DOT Physical read more

As soon as I walked in, the staff were laughing and having fun. It's nice when staff all get along. I went for a fracture in my arm. The front desk was very patient and helpful with my worker's comp information. The doctor, nurses, and x-ray tech couldn't have made me feel more welcomed and comfortable, AND heard. It was my first time there and will have no problem driving out of my way if I ever need services. They sincerely made me feel cared for. read more

Horrible, if you thing you getting taken care of after work they gonna turn you right back around so don't bother. They really made me take off work which is ridiculous. I came a day before today at 2 and still got turned around horrible horrible horrible never again. Also I just came to do my drug test and dot physical. read more

Horroboe service I been waiting here for 3 hours to pee in a cup for this job. After this wait I don't even want the job no more. Please go somewhere else if you can read more

If you have 3+ hours to spare don't waste it here! A disgusting nasty filthy guttersnipe place! So unorganized so rude and such a waste of time! It's sad when you go other places and it takes 7 minutes to get in and out but here for a simple pre employment drug test it's hours! SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN. read more

I recently had to have several key pre-employment screenings completed at Concentra, Toms River Location. My experiences were very positive, from the time sign-in to the actual procedures performed. The staff were extremely professional and knowledgeable in their explanations of each of the steps. I'm so appreciative of my experiences and wanted to express this in a review. Thank you so very much to the dedicated staff for all that you do in serving patients!!! read more

I come here for workers comp and PT. The receptionist are very nice and the office is always clean. Dr. Julia is a wonderful doctor, very hands on and compassionate. Van from PT is great she encourages me to go harder. I love them read more

I give this place one star because zero isn't an option. This is the biggest insurance scammers ever. You come here with an appointment because your employer chose this piece of crap as a worker's compensation medical provider only to sit and wait and no I don't mean 30, 60 or even 85 minutes hours, only to be told oh I'm sorry I forgot to put you on the board so you can be called! This place should have their licenses revoked horrible! And no one gives a crap about anything! This is the world we live in today! Employers if you want your employee back to work in a timely manner DO NOT SEND THEM TO CONCENTRA! The welfare line is more efficient than concentra! Stay away especially from the McCarter Hywy location in Newark NJ! Disgusting! read more

I went in to the McCarter Highway, Newark location a few times for a slip and fall accident at my job where I hurt my hand and tail bone (no need to worry, im okay). I have to be honest and tell you waiting to see a Dr. can be painful at times, however, the receptionist's are very pleasant and helpful. NP Saint Jean is the best in my opinion. Her and her team took very good care of me. They requested X-rays, prescribed meds and ice pack all on the spot! It felt great to receive full care in one place and not being ping-ponged to another location. I couldn't have asked for a better service. read more

Do not come here if you can help it!!!!! The wait will be long and the employees will be as unhelpful as they possibly can. Wouldn't recommend coming into this place unless you prefer to spend your free time hanging out in crowded urgent care facilities with groups of frustrated patients. One star is way too generous for this place. read more

I don't usually review anything other than restaurants but I had to review this place! I don't know about you, but I hate scheduling a doctor's appointment only to be able to see him a week away, getting to the doctor's office on time for the appointment, and then having to wait 3 hours to see the doctor! Not to mention, I work from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm so how am I supposed to see a doctor, when most doctors' offices only open at 10 am and close by 5 pm?!?!?! A friend of mine recommended that I go to Concentra. Concentra is open from 7 am to 7 pm (pretty good business hours in my opinion). Best part: walk in appointments! There's a huge parking lot where you can park. I walked in at 7:20 am. There were 3 people already waiting. The place is very clean and comfortable. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful, not bitter and indifferent. I filled out my forms, handed my insurance information, sat for a some minutes, and in no time, was called in. Btw, most insurance companies are accepted and for people without insurance, their office visit fee is pretty reasonable compared to other doctors! I was initially seen by a certified medical assistant. The assistant was very friendly as she checked my height/weight, pulse, blood pressure, and body temperature. I was then seen by Dr. Dort, who specializes in Family Practice. He was very calm and patient and explained what I had, with specific expertise. He gave me a prescription for antibiotics and I was out of there by 8:20 am! I was literally in and out of this place in an hour, with enough time to get to work! Staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful! I would definitely recommend it! read more

This place books 40 people for the same appointments plus takes walk ins. The wait is so ridiculous! Although the doctor I saw was kind, she was NOT confident in how to handle my injury. I quickly lost my confidence in her abilities. This company gets paid a lot of money from various companies and school districts and they remain severely short staffed. Its just a money factory for them. I don't have an adjective wretched enough to describe Concentra! read more

Wait for simple DOT physicals or preemployment history and physical can be 3-6+ hours; inappropriate. If you are working for the Police Department, Fire Department or The Board of Education, then come right in you cut the line of all those others waiting hours to be seen; inappropriate. Staff not given good home/work life balance as they are forced, almost daily, to work 1-3 hours overtime and do not get to use their allotted 1 hour break time (on hire told to work till closing and a great home life); inappropriate. They frequently run out of durable medical goods that the patient's get given to them (braces, canes, crutches, cam walker boots, hot/cold packs, menthol pain relief rub etc) and have poor inventorying skills; inappropriate. Administration is under the assumption that if scans are all negative that a patient has nothing wrong with them and that they are malingering not wanting to return to work; inappropriate. read more

This place needs a negative 2000 stars. This place is totally unprofessional as the receptionist will totally ignore you standing in their face I got here at 1pm and as of 6pm have yet to be called...by far the worst Concentra I have ever been to...they should be ashamed of themselves read more

I was treated with the upmost care and respect...front desk was courteous and respectful. My medical assistant and Dr. Jennings were amazing. I would definitely come back here again. read more

if there's a half star rating, that's what this place deserves. i made an appointment ahead of time just to wait more than 3 hours for a physical! their employees also lie to your face telling you you're next while taking in other walk ins, just to lie again that they were either "rechecks" or have also made prior appointments. their wait times also change by the minute as they keep lying to customers. take your business somewhere else! read more

i been here since they open an had to wait 3 hours for a TB shot.. This place is terrible slow workers an then the workers be on their computer looking at shopping sites..while u waiting.. smh read more

Waiting 1hour for a blood test is unacceptable with an appointment. Workers move at a slow pace-not motivated. Depressing interior.

My FSA denied the papers given to us by Concentra because the "treatment" that was provided was not on the paper that was given to us. It took me an hour to talk to these people trying to get that information and they have not provided that to me yet. Ladies at the office were not helpful at all. read more

The staff is horrible, they don't have costumer services skill.....and is a mess with paperwork.....

I got in the place at 12:21pm with paperwork in hand, gave it to the male receptionist Sean. I was told to have a seat that I'll be called shortly for registration. I was thinking maybe 25-45 mins for that but I was shocked when I was called to the receptionist desk at 1:20pm to fill out paperwork. I immediately asked why did I have to wait damn near an hour to fill out paperwork? I was told that because there were "so many people before me" but I witnessed a Newark Fireman come on way after me who was filling put paperwork before I and who was called in the back before I. I guess you have to be a Fireman or a Police Officer to receive the expedited treatment . read more

I wish I listened to the reviews. I prefer another location better in Newark but they opened later. I came in at 7am, when they opened. The doctor did not come in until 8:45am. I was number 3. I did not leave until 9:30am. I get things happen and understand the physician may have had personal matters, but this seems to be the typical wait time based on the reviews. The only reason I am giving two stars is because the MA was nice and the physician was helpful. Anyway - the other location I go to is another urgent care where I was in and out in 45 minutes, not 2.5 hours. I'll be going there from now on when needed. read more

Be prepared for very long lines like your typical Urgent Care facility. It took me about an hour and a half to see a doctor. Initially I thought I was getting skipped by random walk-ins but the receptionist reassured me that they were not there to see a doctor. In the waiting room you will hear constant unanswered phone calls; after about 30 minutes I tuned them out. It gets pretty crowded fast so of course go as early as possible. The staff is very friendly and their goal is to get you to see a doctor as quickly as possible. When I finally got into the doctors office I thought the wait was over.. I was clearly played. The wait continued as I saw doctors walk pass my room (it took 45 minutes to finally be seen) I was only there for a follow up on my back spasm but it was something that was more serious I would of been in trouble. The doctor was very witty. It was a very quick visit but I had to remind the receptionist to give me my release papers. 3 hours for a 5 minute follow up is pretty absurd. read more

See all

Worse place ever. Waited over 2 hours before even getting called. Doctors are terrible.

New computer system, slow as molasses! Don't come for a week until they figure it out! Totally waste of time

In my own personal Opinion Doctor Herrera Of Concentra at 375 McCarter Highway, Newark, NJ location was the worst Doctor that I have ever seen or visited and he is a liar and states false claims and makes a patient go through all the hassle of getting the proper paper work and still denying people their rights to work after being cleared properly by other physicians. He is the dullest and most non equipped doctor to ever be in Practice he needs to be shut down for malpractice and imitating a Real Certified Doctor. If possible I would rate this doctor a negative 10. They have a horrible staff and the wait times were completely utterly ridiculous and they had me personally wait for at least an hour or more. SMH they are truly unprofessional. read more

Great facility. When you can't get to a doctor fast enough, and don't want the hassle of going to a hospital/emergency, go here! Most insurances are accepted, walk ins are welcomed, and the service is great. On site X-rays, ekgs, etc. Great also for check ups, drug screenings, etc. Great service in a many times hectic urban landscape! read more

I responded to Concentra urgent care at the Newark office this morning. I arrived at about 7 AM, I was greeted by the staff at the front desk who was very professional, I was then greeted and seen by Technician Mr Ovilid Who is very professional, he then instructed me as far as the steps that I needed to take to complete the physical... everything went very well. After completion of my physical. I was then seen by Dr. Kheyson who asked me a few questions in reference to my paperwork and had me do the required exercises I had to take, he's very nice professional Doctor. I wish all of my doctor visits went as smooth as this process did today thanks again Concentra for your services. read more

They over charge me my copayment for the second time need to do much better even that I will get it back in four months. I wait for more than an hour they pass someone that came after me to see a doctor really bad service I would go back to the one in Elizabeth or the one in Linden much better service they know how to do the insurance without over charging read more

Ask office manager question look like had two heads and they jump people know front of you time don't matter..

The worst, even when no body is in the lobby, you'll be here for 2-1/2 hours. Can't imagine how it is here when it's busy. Although the staff was friendly, I just wish they stop playing around in the office and get stuff done, read more

I was here for the first time to get a full medical done on Friday December 15th and I can say I had a pretty good experience here. The secretaries upfront were okay I would say. They weren't horrible or anything. But the staff inside were wonderful. I can't remember all of their names the only women staff I can remember is Gloria who took my blood and Shirley who took my X-Rays, did my breathing and hearing tests. They were SO nice and they made me feel at home really. I had a better experience here than at any other clinic and even some hospitals that I've been to. I think they are all good friends so that's what makes the energy in the air better. They all get along and make a good team. I can say I would definitely recommend someone to come here and I hope they have a nice experience like I did. read more

This place was an absolutely nightmare to deal with. First I called and asked if there was a long line for the urgent care. The woman on the phone.m said "we're not really an urgent care" so I asked why google has them listed they told me "sometimes we do urgent care and there's currently no wait for urgent care" I was 5 minutes away and came in to an office of 22 people waiting in line for hours which means she over the phone. An hour and a half later I was treated. When I called to ask them for a copy of my records, I was told to fax over my request along with my personal information and photo ID. Which I did. I then had to call them 6 times to be told different answers up to "we're not allowed to release patient records to patients" which is absolutely illegal read more

I Was At Work Directly In The Same Building As Concentra So When My Wheezing Begun & My Co-Worker Nebulizer Didn't Help, Me & My Supervisor Walked Into Concentra Asking For Help As They Are A "Urgent Care Facility". My Asthma Got So Bad I Could Barely Speak And Tears Wouldn't Stop Falling; The Young Lady At The Counter Looked Me In My Eyes And Immediately Called The Nurse As She Could Hear Me Whistling. The Nurse Said "What Type Of Insurance Do You Have?" My Supervisor As Puzzled As Me Gave Her My ID And Both Insurances: She Gave It Back And Said "We Don't Take That Insurance And Because We Hear Your Wheezing We Would Have To Charge You As Tier 2 Medical Treatment And You Will Have To Pay Before We Can See You." I Gave Up. My Supervisor Looked Heated But Immediately Dialed 911 & So Did A Few Others. I Began To Wheeze So Bad I Almost Collapsed, I Wanted To Feel The Ground As My Body Got So Weak. I Was So Scared. Thank God The Paramedics Came In Two Minutes Or Else. I Have Lost All Respect For Concentra Located In Newark, NJ. I Almost Lost My Life To Their HealthCare Denial. Thank God For The Paramedics & St Michaels Hospital . read more

I would never come back here again it took over 2.5 hours for me to get some antibiotics for strep.

do not come here. This is the worst facility ever. I came here for a physical that takes 10 minutes to perform the exam and it took 6 hours. The lady next to me had an appointment for 4 o'clock and then called in till 7 o'clock why bother making an appointment I can't believe how slow the service is here it's a joke. and two of my co-workers went through the same thing it took them 4 hours. Go Anywhere But Here. Stay away read more

I called this facility several times before arriving to assure they could help me. I was assured they could. When I arrived to the I Christine A. From admissions came out and was very rude and unprofessional. She told me that they would not be able to help me. When I asked why she asked me you please have a seat in the waiting room as there was nothing she could do. I then asked to speak to her supervision requesting my intake paperwork back or at least a copy since I wasn't being helped. I even told Christine that I was having suicidal thoughts but she could careless. Her supervisor/ director Josephine came out and said she would help me. She brought me in one of the back rooms. I sat there for 45 mins. Josephine and Lisa head of the nursing department came in and I was not only turned away but I was degraded by being told but the head of nursing Lisa that my case was too special and they are not a hospital. I never heard of a facility that is suppose to help people just turn them away! This was the worst place every!!!!!! Teneick read more

Horrific experience at this place. I was forced to go here for a work related injury. Before even arriving at Concentra I had already been to the ER, and an Orthopedic Specialist who diagnosed me. It felt redundant that I had see someone again but I complied. I was told that I was going to see a Dr. but it turned out to be a PA. Even with the diagnosis from a trained Orthopedic Specialist the PA told me that the Dr. was wrong. He didn't offer to have me take X-rays or an MRI. Just recommended PT. I asked the PA to call the Orthopedist to check on the diagnosis which he pretended to do when he left the room for under 10 minutes. He never called the Orthopedist office which was confirmed by the other practice. This PA talked down to me, made me feel like my pain was unreal, and didn't suggest anything helpful. I was in tears. He kept insisting the Orthopedist was wrong and I asked him to take Xrays or give me and MRI so I know what's wrong with my leg. The worst part is being in pain and not having it recognized. When they discharged me, the PA had written the wrong diagnosis and wrong body part on the report. Also, the paperwork stated that I should engage in no activity but someone in Concentra told my job that I should return work. Also while waiting for paperwork, a man started uncontrollably screaming in the waiting room. The medical staff seemed confused as how to help him. I hobbled out of there fast. Needless to say I'm going to another location to have a real MD examine me. Such a horrible experience and I will be reporting the PA to the state medical board. I would give no stars if that were an option! read more
