I am very happy here with everyone.

Staff is always very nice and respectful. Dr LaRatta is a Dr of few words, but his medical knowledge with pinpointing the issue and offering the right medication is always on spot. His primary goal is to get your health up to par. And that is very good trait to have, especially in the medical field. Thank you in requesting my imput.

I have never had an appointment in my life where the person I was scheduled to meet seemed as uninterested as Dr.Laratta was at my last appointment. I'd be very angry if I wasn't so impressed at the level apathy I was met with.

My visit was pleasant and informing of my medical achievements and what I need to work on to improve my health

I love Dr. LaRatta and the entire staff. His medical assistant was thorough and nice. Sadly, it was my last visit with him because l am moving to Virginia.

I love this office but hate getting stuck with Dr. LaRatta. He mumbles when he speaks, never actually tells me what's wrong with me, only what medications he's sending in. He has a terrible bedside manner and acts like it's a hassle every time he treats me. I wish that they would rotate him to a different office and let the good doctors stay. Every time that office gets a good doctor, they transfer them to a new office.

Everything was very professional, friendly, and the service was excellent.

I was okay with the service provider, but the doctor, he was very unprofessional and he did not, he didn't even, I gave him a list of the meds that I was on. He did not listen to him or follow him. He went on his own cognitive and thought what he wanted and he kept asking me if I had a stomachache or was my stomach concerned and I told him no and he provided, he gave me a prescription for a medication, a Pepsi for a stomach and I kept telling him I did not have issues with my stomach. So I felt as though that he was not listening to me or my concerns at all but just in what he thought he was reading and he did not ask me personally what I was doing.

Dr laratta answered all my questions and listened to me. And explained my rash.

Jan 13, 2026
Yes, the doctor that I saw, I forget his name, he was very impersonal. He did not speak to me much during my visit. The medical student who was in training did not look over my file, asked me the same questions that she could have answered if she would have just looked up my information and did a little bit more digging. Instead, she glossed over everything instead of paying attention to me as an individual.

John Laratta was the doctor I saw. My personal opinion is that retirement may be his best option. While talking to him he was disoriented. He asked questions twice and refilled a prescription I told him I was not taking at the time. At his age it is only natural to forget things but if he continues to work in his state I believe he may unknowingly prescribe a wrong medication or wrongfully diagnose a patient. Please take this review into consideration.

The drs bedside manner is very dry & non enthusiastic...

Jan 6, 2026
He only refilled 2 of the 3 prescriptions I needed. Asked me about a colon screening & I responded by saying I had just had one a year ago. Shortly after my visit I got an email stating my Cologard kit would be delivered soon.... I won't be seeing him again.

The doctor listened to me, but he did not wash his hands before or after he touched my wound. Also, the scissors used to cut the bandages was not sterile. I was concerned for the hygiene.

He was dismissive, didn't tell me what he was prescribing and when I asked, he simply said, "cough syrup." He should retire. This practice needs more culturally competent doctors.

Best group of doctors I've ever met!

As always I was treated like I was family.

It's been a pleasure seeing all the doctors there at Virtua. Everyone is so kind and caring. They call me all the time about any changes and what not to take and what to take. I don't trust many doctors, especially Atlantic Care. And with Virtua, I feel like I'm completely 100% safe. They're doing a great job and everyone's so kind. Thank you.

Doctor was not great

Aug 15, 2025
The doctor was not taking care of the problem I went into the office for. And when he left the prescription or whatever, or the outline of what was to happen, it was nothing like what I went in there for. And he prescribed me medication for sleeping, which I never said I needed any of that. After all of this, he did not take care of my ankle problem that I went in there for. So I'm saying I would never go back to him again. Thank you.

Very satisfied with the visit.
