The doctor, PA, and downstairs techs were very caring and helpful. The front desk person of the doctor's office is not quite as friendly.

We are moving from south Jersey to north Jersey. Dr. Lelkes and his staff are focused on this move and will care for me from Hackensack in the future. They have made the transition most painless.

Dr. Lelkes was excellent. I felt so comfortable with him. He spoke to me in a very soothing, comforting way. He had to give me not very happy news, but believe me when I say if anyone had to give me the news, it was someone like him. He was just so wonderful in everything he said, in the whole experience. And yes, I would recommend him. God willing, no one I know has to go through a cancer diagnosis, but if they do, I would recommend this doctor. He was just fabulous, as was his physician's assistant, as was everyone there in the location at Hope Tower. So that's it.

I felt validated. I left the office feeling that I was in good hands. I'm confident the doctor will be able to help to identify and correct my medical problem.

I was there the morning of the bomb threat so any delays were understandable and should not be a reflection on Dr. Lelkes. His professionalism was great. He explained my situation in easy to understand terms. He answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns.

Very good Dr and the PA also. I really appreciated how both of them spoke with me so I didn't ever have the feeling of being rushed. Clear explanations from both along with a calmness that was also appreciated.
