Dr Garcia Marotta is very thorough with her exam and she refers me to specialists for any abnormal…read morelab tests. She really shows she cares about her patient' by making sure she follows up on them. I was prediabetic and she referred me to a nutritionist who helped me with my diet and when I had my next A1C / it came back normal. One of the things I really love about her is she listens when I talk to her about my health issues and she makes recommendations. The staff in her office are all helpful and nice.They schedule patients in a way that they don't wait too long to be seen. Dr Garcia Marotta is one of the best doctors I've dealt with.

I came to this place because of two reasons: I was looking for a new primary doctor, and I needed a…read morereferral for a gastroenterologist. I chose this practice because it was close to my home and Dr Ylonka was in-network of my insurance. Upon arriving at the practice, the staff promptly took my insurance info and charged $15 for the copay. I paid with my credit card. During the consultation with Dr. Ylonka, she suggested that I do an annual physical exam. She looked some things up on her computer and confidently said, "GHI (my insurance company) covers the annual physical exams. If you do it today, you don't even have to pay the copay. My staff will refund you the copay on your way out." Huge mistake for not double checking with my insurance company that the physical is indeed covered in my insurance, and the most expensive one I've made in my life. On my way out, the staff cancelled my earlier payment of $15. By this action, it was clear that they were sure that the staff thought my insurance was coverkng the physical exam in full, unless they already knew it wasn't covered and wanted to sham their new patient. The $15 was credited back to my account 3 days later, of which I have the record. Two months later, I get a bill from Dr. Ylonka's practice of $250, the steepest price tag I've heard for an annual physical exam. I called them to inquire of it, I simply get the the same line: "Our record indicates that you came in wanting a physical and therefore it is your sole responsibility that you came in with a full knowledge of physical exam coverages of your insurance. Therefore, we are not at fault." No. No matter how many times I tell them to stop lying (I did not schedule a physical. The doctor suggested performing the physical by misleadingly telling me that it is fully covered by my insurance) and explain the record of the copay being credited back, they do not have an answer. They simply read the line again... "Our record shows that..." Your record can say anything you like but wouldn't mean much since it doesn't explain the cancellation of the copay. Shame on them. I really hope the doctor does not do this knowingly and regularly to read off from patients. Shameful for bold face lying of the staffs. Also, it took them more than a week to come up with that "Our record..." line. Before they came up, their previous line was "we will call you back when we find out tomorrow." They never called me back. I always had to call to inquire. On the phone with the practice yesterday, the staff did mention that the doctor "sometimes gets confused" of what is covered by insurances or not. I asked back if that is a good enough excuse to first tell all patients that everything is covered and then later charge all. Of course, there came the expected line: "Our record shows that..."

I have been going there for decades, not years. That should tell you heaps. I also do not put up…read moreany doctors who feel my time is not important -- that and a "god complex" (complete with the old days when the sexy Pharma rep got to meet with the doc even though I'd been waiting 30 minutes already AND condescending speak) means I refuse to deal with that office. I have had to tell too many doctor (back in the 1980s and '90s) that *I* pay their salary, whether it is via insurance or not, and I am not paying them to be treated poorly. My time is JUST as important at theirs. Enter Changebridge. I have never had to wait, they have called me if an appointment could not happen or had an incredible wait (very, very infrequently, but it happens), I have never seen a pharmaceuticals rep in there ever (granted, it is no longer cricket for them to offer a free trip to Hawai'i any longer, but that's fine with me. My doctor is Dr. Frank Iannetta, and he has been so for the time I have gone there. I love him; he took a lot of time to learn about adult-onset muscular dystrophy (DM Type II), always offers advice, looks into any question I have, not religious and always has a laugh with me over so many different issues outside of medicine. He listens, chats, but is serious and totally qualified to help with anything. Another excellent quality is that Changebridge has relationships with so many other types of specialty medical practices that I have gotten audiology, podiatry, cardiac, pain management and so many other kinds of help. I take almost no medications (the list is 6 now, not 10 and far less than the amounts I've been on). I also go to PT three times a week, and I feel just INCREDIBLE! I go primarily to Dr. Iannetta, but any doctor there is just wonderful. My husband and I both go; he really likes to go to Dr. Pallay, who is very medically knowledgeable, but he is focused on the medicine and not a "chat" kind of doc; I love Dr. Iannetta because he is the exact opposite. Both kinds as well as everyone in-between is right for many patients. None of the doctor or nurses are any the less gifted in medicine. I know all the staff (for the most part) and speak to them all with delight. I enjoy every person there. They all bring something special to the experience. They do a lot for any patient. I cannot recommend them enough. I would not even know where to begin with how much they have done for me over...I think more than 30 years. We have lived in Parsippany now for 32 years. Before that in Fairfield, so really, I don't know. But I am deliriously happy with every visit there. You will be, too.

When I moved to the area and was looking for a doctor, it was only when I was sick. I wasn't really…read moredoing the whole annual checkup thing in my 20s - okay, even in my 30s. I think what actually brought me here the first time was when I decided "I haven't had a physical in awhile. I should go get one." and looked around for doctors. I discovered that nowadays, you're hard-pressed to find individual doctors, so I went for the clinic, and CMA seemed to have good reviews. Since then, I've had a few physicals, gone in a few times with illnesses. Every time, I have been treated well, promptly, curing whatever I came in with and helping with whatever they find. So like today? Just the physical? They reassured me most of my vitals were fine, pointed to the one that was a little out of whack, and presented suggestions for how to fix it. Sat patiently with me to discuss until we were on the same page. VERY friendly and thorough. And that even goes to the desk staff. I have never had a bad experience with any person at CMA, never had a misdiagnosis or the wrong meds. Nothing. OK, a couple of times I got a charge for the blood work they did, but this time I think we've learned, tell them up front it's diagnostic and not preventative. Again, even the separate-building blood lab (which I think moved into a new, larger space) is friendly and helpful. #CMA4EVA

I am reviewing the doctors AND the front desk/admin group…read more The doctors are wonderful. I have been going there for about 10 years. Most recently my husband joined as well. They are very thorough and know how to properly treat chronic/autoimmune issues. I have been very happy with them! The following are phone experiences I have had with the office: -I called upon finding out I was pregnant for the first time at age 37. This office had prescribed 3 medications that would affect whether the pregnancy stuck or not. The front desk was adamant that I had to go to an OB and could not come see the doctors to discuss my hormone prescriptions with my established primary caregiver. I was turned away at a very delicate time. I mentioned this to the Dr who agreed I should have been seen right away. - I called to make my annual and was told I absolutely could NOT ask questions about currently treated (under their care) conditions during an annual exam, that I had to make a separate consultation appointment. What!? -I left 1 message in 10 years of care asking to speak to the PA. No one returned my call. -And despite the care we love from the docs the final straw was...we continue to get bills for an appointment my husband left TWO messages cancelling. In both messages he asked someone to call back and confirm receipt and no one has. It is very sad that they cannot get better help because the doctors are lovely. The nurses and phlebotomists are always wonderful as well. As a side note, when this practice was recommended to me over 10 years ago the person warned me about the Front desk help. She said it was the reason she left the practice. Unfortunately, we are coming to the same end.

The only good thing in that office is the PA. Everyone else should have a serious staff meeting and…read moreget on the same page. Dr. Lentine should really get in touch with patients that have issues in her office, after all it's her reputation on the line. I'm really getting sick of the auto calls regarding her NEW service but it may be a good service IF you are willing to pay an additional $2000.00 per year!!!!!! You might get better care!
