Dr. Cristal has been my mother's physician for more than a year...over the Christmas holiday my mother had blood in her urine. She called Dr. Cristal's office to obtain a prescription for a urine test because she was scheduled to go for a routine blood test that day and wanted to also do the urine test at the same time. She spoke to the doctor directly. He asked why she wanted that test and she explained why. She also said maybe she should go to a Urologist. Dr. Cristal asked when her appointment was...she stated she didn't have one...she wanted to discuss this option with him. Dr. Cristal then told my mother to make an appointment with a Urologist and then have that doctor call him....and hung up on her! No prescription for a urine test, no recommendation for a Urologist, he didn't even ask her if there STILL was blood in her urine!
He is located in Toms River...I am in northern New Jersey...but I will be meeting with him to discuss his treatment of my mother. In the meantime...if you are looking for a good doctor...avoid Dr. Ruben Cristal. read more
