Our pediatrician sent us to the St. Barnabas ER twice this weekend. This was the worst hospital…read moreexperience I have ever had. Do not go here. Run far away. Go to any other hospital. Everyone from the nurses to the doctors were curt, cold, and rude. Dr. Loretta Cinquepalmi was patronizing, unfeeling, and critical. We had her both times we went to the ER. She was dismissive and interrupted me frequently and spoke down to us the entire visit. After being rushed back to the ER on our pediatrician's recommendation, she asked us "Why are you here AGAIN?" and then requested my pediatrician's phone number because she couldn't fathom why we would return. She called my pediatrician (who was very concerned about my son's medical condition) and said "Why would you bother sending him back?" He reported she was condescending with him as well. She spoke to my mother and me as if we were the village idiots. The nurses were cold as well, strapping my 4-year-old down to the bed to get his blood drawn without so much as speaking to him or looking his way. The receptionist checking us in was the only person who was kind. But a nice receptionist is not why you should choose an ER for your child. I will never return to this ER. Do not repeat my mistake -- go to another hospital instead.

Got burned in an accident at work and was sent here for treatment. The doctors and nurses here…read morewere great. Being burned is a scary event and the recovery and treatments are pretty traumatic. The staff here made it seem easier than it was. Mind you my injuries were a lot less severe than most. All the same I was glad I was sent here. The reason for the subtraction of 1 star is that they kept trying to bill me $10. I was a workmans Comp case so I wouldn't owe anything. It took me about 15 calls to clear this up. Other than that my treatment was great.

I had surgery earlier today and things went so well that as I sit here on my couch recovering I…read morefelt I should review them already. A doctor friend of mine recommended a surgeon to me that works out of the Morris County Surgical Center and after today I don't know if I'd want to go anywhere else. I was the first on the board this morning so I arrived at 6:30am to a smiling and friendly nurse/receptionist who was very helpful. I was brought to the back where I was taken care of by Elaine, who was very caring and kept me at ease (her British accent was calming). As more people started coming in and milling about I realized that these nurses were awesome and cared about making me feel confident. When I was brought into the ER by my two ER nurses (sorry ladies, I simply cannot remember your names) they, and the Anesthesiologist, quickly got me situated and comfortable and were saying good night. The next thing I remember was waking up in the recovery room with nurse Laura and Dr. Simon talking to me. I've been under the knife six times now and I have never had a better experience than today. The nurses, the doctors, the recovery room...I felt at ease the whole time, from start to finish. This is the first time I came out of anesthesia without the shakes or feeling nauseous. I can't say enough about how great this went. Now I hope my recovery goes as well.

Professional, friendly, insightful, and on time!…read more There have two MAJOR traumatic life events over the past 13 years that have made encounters with Pocono Medical Group and Nephrology Consultants a requirement. Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU. Funny, neither of these events were about me. Two separate family members were assisted by this organization. Let me just say, they are great. Very knowledgeable. No-nonsense care. The patient's best interest at heart. Simply fantastic. No one ever wishes that they have to go through an issue involving deteriorating health, but if they must, and they are in the area, go here for excellent care.

We were so worried that it could be something really bad and his office took us immediately the next day. Dr. Liggion was so patient and reassuring. He took an xray right there at the office and explained, in detail, what it all meant and what our options were. Luckily our news was good, she was fine, however, it was very comforting to know we were in such good hands. I highly recommend Dr. Liggio!

Dealing with this practice turned into a nightmare, capped off by false, fraudulent billing!…read more Needing a highly specialized, complex surgery, I called the office and relayed a message ahead of time for Dr. Peter Marta specifically explaining my precise condition, and asking if he could perform the procedure in a manner that would not cause permanent damage (since the cookie-cutter manner in which the surgery is often done to save time damages other portions of the body). Marta's assistants relayed back that they had shared my precise case with him, and said that Marta told them he knew how to perform the surgery in the manner that would protect me from such problems. However, after coming to the office for a worthless visit, being kept waiting over a half-hour, and then having Marta finally come into the exam room in an irritated mood with no apology for being late, I immediately posed the question regarding whether he did the operation I needed---and whether he performed it in the manner that would not cause permanent damage to other bodily functions and/or anatomy. His response was that he DID NOT! And that if he did the surgery, the other problems I had asked about would likely occur. So there was absolutely NO EXAM!! My time with Marta lasted less than a minute or two. When I asked him why his staff had given me false information to get me to come to the office, even after I had relayed the precise condition and questions, he said, "the girls don't know what happens to patients during surgery!" After being lied to by Marta's office and wasting my valuable time, I told Marta prior to leaving that there must not be any charge to me or my insurance for the wasted visit--as again, there was absolutely no exam given nor purpose for my coming in. Marta stated that there would not be any charge, and I left. However, just as we had been lied to about everything else, Marta dummied the record to make it appear as though a routine exam had been performed---even though no such exam ever occurred, as noted--and falsely billed two insurance entities in my name, resulting in the fraudulent receipt of funds! When the false billing and payments were discovered and I called the office to seek their reversal, I was immediately insulted for calling and hung up on! Such horrible, dishonest treatment of the public is beyond disgraceful, let alone unethical and illegal. Shame on Dr. Marta!

My mom had been suffering from terrible knee pain after going through a slew of shots and…read moremedication she was finally sent for an MRI which showed a meniscus tear and arthritis, her ortho at the time said she needed a knee replacement, my mom has many co-morbidities and we knew that knee replacement wasn't the safest option for her. I researched alternatives for knee replacement and found Dr. Levy's office and made an appointment for a consultation. We first met with his PA Kevin who conducted a very thorough examination and as mom stated, she had never had that type of extensive orthopedic exam ever, plus Kevin is a very nice guy, patient and very knowledgeable, then we met with Dr. Levy who went over the MRI in great detail with us, we found out that mom had issues in addition to her torn meniscus (turns out at surgery she had 2 serious tears we were never informed of), he told us mom didn't need knee replacement (the practice's bottomline is to save the joint as best as possible) and went into detail as to the procedure he was to perform as well as addressing the menisci, both Dr. Levy and Kevin took their time with us and answered any questions we had. Mom had her surgery in December and is doing well. Dr. Levy and his staff are nice, professional and caring. I was so impressed by Dr. Levy's practice and philosophy that I ended up treating with him for an issue that I've had for over a year, I saw 4 different doctors by the time I was given a script for an MRI and was told nothing could be done for me, one doctor stated I may need a knee replacement, I saw Dr. Levy who easily found my issue by studying my MRI closely and I am scheduled for surgery in the near future. If it weren't for Dr. Levy's knowledge (he's a researcher and inventor as well) I still would be on the vicious cycle of cortisone shots, PT and gel shots. In my experience, it's amazing how insurance companies will easily pay for a major surgery like a total knee replacement (which I don't need) than pay for other treatment that they'd otherwise think is considered alternative, I gladly will treat out of network in order to get the treatment that I need instead of being treated in a cookie cutter way (like being told I need a total knee replacement when I had 'some' arthritis and in a small part of my knee) and Dr. Levy doesn't treat anyone in a cookie cutter way, he treats them as individuals with different needs. I highly recommend him and his staff. Mom treats in the Ironbound section of Newark, and I treat in his Millburn location and both locations are great!

Office scheduled follow up visit but in the interim I was getting better with PT so called office to cancel appointment. Was told on phone that everything was taken care of.

Called office only to straighten their records out and was basically told by rude office manager that I was lying and their records show that I confirmed the appointment and the poor doctor and nurse were waiting for me.
