Dr. Puja was a fantastic doctor and did a wonderful physical for me. She took as much time as she needed and did a wonderful job. I would recommend her to anybody for their physical because she is the best doctor we have ever encountered. Thank you so much for having such a wonderful doctor on your staff.

The doctor that's out on maternity leave is also horrible. They are insensitive. They act like they're scared to touch you. They're not. The whole staff there is horrible. I didn't even want to get a flu shot or a pneumonia shot because of their incompetence there. They told me I weighed 151 pounds. I'm 115 pounds. I don't like the office. Y'all need to get better service there.

Dr Patel was an excellent physician . She was professional and compassionate . also, the front desk was efficient and helpful ( such a difference from previous encounters !) . The receptionist was new and such a pleasure to communicate with .

Dr. Puja Patel was amazing. She listened. She had a great bedside manner. She was compassionate and pathetic. And I'm looking forward to our follow-up appointment. Thank you. Bye.

Dr. Patel did a wonderful job of going through my records, telling me everything I was eligible for as to shots I can get and vaccines I can get. She went through my records very carefully, examined me, made sure that she took my blood pressure again. I was very pleased with the physical that I received from her much better than I've ever had in the past.

I am just seeing Dr. Patel for the first time, and I thought she was just wonderful. It was a pleasure. And that's all I can say. They're always being very nice to me. They were for many years. But Dr. Patel really was wonderful. Thank you.

You move your doctors around too much. I've had 5 different primary care doctors in 5 years. They were all wonderful. This is not a reflection on the doctors. I believe it reflects that Hackensack Meridian is a poor employer. If Hackensack Meridian cared about their patients and staff they would strive for consistency , as better health outcomes follow a doctor who knows his/her patient and engenders confidence in the patient.

Dr. Patel is an outstanding physician. She is kind, caring and knowledgeable. My experience with her was amazing. She is without a doubt one of the best doctors I've seen and I would absolutely recommend Dr. Patel.

The doctor visit was fine. My issue is with how the results of my blood test was handled. My LDL Direct reading was high and when I received the call from the doctor's office regarding the test, I was told the doctor suggested taking a prescribed medication to bring it down. I said that I would try to modify my diet and lifestyle rather than medications. I was surprised that this was not a suggestion made by the doctor (along with some guidance on healthier diet) rather than immediately prescribing a drug. Also, after I opted to try a lifestyle change, the doctor's office should suggest a follow-up blood test (in say six months) to see if the results are better. Possibly, the office working with a dietician in a case like this would provide a beter level of service.

Dr. Patel was outstanding, caring. She listened to my questions, answered my questions. Great access to Hackensack University Medical Center.

Excellent, timely service. They explained and spent good time. Doctors spent good time. Only the thing I would say, when they were drawing blood, the chair was not comfortable. It was on the stretcher, and there should be the chair where you can rest your arm. That was not there, and that was a little bit uncomfortable for the patient, because when you're drawing three or four vials of blood, you want to rest your arm, so it's making it easier. That's the only comment I have on negative side, but other than that, everything is good. Hopefully, they would bring the chair which has armrests on the side, both sides, so either side can be utilized for drawing blood when need to be. Thank you, bye.
