This review is not about the quality of care I received by the medical staff. Rather, it is about…read morethe Consensus Health corporate culture which, in my opinion, focuses on corporate profits. First, here is what I learned: Consensus Health is a New Jersey medical organization with dozens of 'practices' across New Jersey. Two such practices in the Denville/Rockaway area are the 'Skylands Medical groups'. The Skyland Medical Group I sought care from operates as the 'Denville Associates of Internal Medicine.' My experience with this Consensus Health organization focused on gross over-billing for an office visit. This resulted in a time-consuming appeals process, an admission by the organization of a billing mistake, and a partial reduction in the revised bill I received, a new bill which partially addressed their billing mistake. This failure to take adequate responsibility for their mistake and to (in my firm opinion) focus on corporate profit reminded me of the unfair, unethical practices of United Health Care, the largest Health Insurance provider in the U. S. To maximize profit for the a simple office visit I requested, the bill was modified to include a service that was not requested by me and (in my opinion) not provided and not covered by either my Medicare or Anthem Blue Cross insurance. Rather than spend effort on another time-consuming appeals process, I paid the bill before it was sent to their 'collections department'. NOTE: Sometimes a business responds to a critical review by providing a one-sided response with no opportunity for the reviewer to respond. If I feel I'm further mistreated I'll make the effort to respond in more detail, with copies of documents, a voice mail message left on my phone, and more details.

It all started in the ER where I was admitted with acute urinary retention. The degree of retention was critical and the heavy urinary bleeding would not even allow for a functional cystoscopy observation. A catheter could not be installed to relieve the bladder. Dr. Colton performed a complex emergency operation to resolve the immediate aspects of the situation and managed to install a supra-pubic catheter to prevent this kind of emergency from happening. His professional confidence, medical mastery and genuine care were unprecedented. I have been around enough time and have seen enough doctors, including urologists, to identify and fully appreciate it. During the following 18 weeks I was seeing Dr. Colton in his office. My problems were BPH with the prostate of "enormous size" (his words) and a very weak and flabby bladder. He decided to give my bladder a rest by regularly changing supra-pubic catheters and finally scheduled a Greenlight TURP laser surgery for me. By that time I knew that Dr. Colton was one of the very first and very best urologists in this country who performed and perfected this surgical procedure that has become so important for so many men. The surgery went amazingly well with excellent results. I did not expect it, but soon after the operation I became a normal, healthy person who does not need to be catheterized in order to empty the bladder. My life got literally reopened for me again with all my beloved activities. I could breath deeply and freely again. I am alive and I am free. This says it all. And this is all thanks to the brilliant surgeon and incredible man, Dr. Colton. As a surgeon, he is boldly decisive and, at the same time, scrupulously attentive to every single detail of the procedure he performs. As a person, he is warm, caring and always supportive. For me Dr. Colton is a brilliant doctor who gave me my life back.

Dr. Shanley misdiagnosed my mother.... we informed him that we thought she had Alzheimer's and after testing her, he said she did not have dementia. Two years later she was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Also, he sent my mother home with her Alzheimer's medication prescription, but did not write down for her how often she has to take the medication. Do you think she remembered what he told her? His hours are very limited. He does not work on Wednesdays, and we needed to reach him on Friday afternoon and he had already gone home for the day by 2:45 pm. On a positive note, we needed to get my mother in for an emergency visit, and when his office was open on Monday, we were able to schedule an appointment for later that day. We have called Dr. Shanley's office twice to get an update on my mother's latest visit to his office to see what he thinks. He has yet to call us back. It's been two weeks since her visit.
