Rajesh Sachdeo, MD
Dr. Sachdeo is one of the most best neurologists I have ever gone to. As far as being a doctor, he is marvelous. He listens to you, he takes the time and he spends with you. You really, really need to concentrate and use him as a role model for hiring some of your doctors. I've been to other doctors and they're not of any caliber or close to how Dr. Sachdeo treats his patients as far as his knowledge and his respect and his caring for all of us. It's just amazing. Thank you.

I can not say enough good words for the appointment. The doctor listened carefully and answers all my questions and gave me a lot of time for the appointment, he was kind and professional. The only thing I have to say is that the reception desk was welcoming just they didn't take copies of my insurance card even that I asked. So I left that office with some referrals that have the wrong information about mail-ing address of my insurance and the wrong group number. I hope to resolve that within this week. Thank you.

Mary Sedarous, MD
Dr. Sedarous is a very good doctor. I still have questions on how the Vygard will affect my artificial heart valve and I did not get an answer to that. When that is solved I'll be completely satisfied.

Never had any negative experiences with anyone MD's, DO's, Nurse's, Aid's, Receptionist's, or anyone else who works for HMH; Just positive like help navigating HMH various buildings and departments, someone will stop and ask if I need any help and then they do.

Keeping someone waiting, especially when they've checked in early, is unacceptable. Other patients came & went while I was there. After nearly 1 HOUR I had to go to the desk & ask why. I was told I was next, and then someone called me in. Not one apology.

So the appointment that I scheduled was, I had been clear when I called the appointment line and said I needed to speak to someone about my son's sleep. I did say that he had an ADHD diagnosis but was under the impression that our appointment was going to be with a sleep specialist and it was not. So that was really lost in the mix somewhere. However, what I will say is that I'm actually very glad we ended up where we did because Dr. Noriega and the other doctor that I spoke to, I'm sorry I don't have his name in front of me, were extremely helpful and put me in the right direction and it ended up being a really good experience once I was there. So that was good. I just, you know, I think that the appointment schedulers should be a little more cautious about what they're listening to and what they're scheduling for patients. But that's it. Other than that, it was a really great experience and both doctors

Love Dr Sachdeo but he is a Neurologist listed as part of Cardio Unit so can't send him portal messages and can't contact his office directly! Not good

Osama Abu-Hadid, MD
Dr Hadid is one of the Finest Doctors I have had the pleasure of speaking with in the last 5 years. My medical journey in the last 5 years put me in-front of Over 10+Doctors in that time. The Absolute Worst was your own MR Kim Hackensack ED, he claimed to be a Dr!?? Dr Hadid is the opposite end of that Hadid amongst the very best.
