Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Joseph Zangara, has been my gastric doctor for over 20 years. He and their PA Lisa give me the ultimate care, as I had a gastric bypass when I was 50, at 60 we discovered I had Chrones Disease. Many wanted to just blame my issues on the bypass; Dr Zangara said no it's not and he stared looking to find what my new issues were being caused by and found the Chrones. Which is in a very stable place, all due to their care for me. I would highly recommend Joseph Zangara, and their other Doctors at North Jersey Gastric

Dr Zangara has taken care of me for more than a decade and was always committed to both diagnosing and treating my GI condition throughout. He has always taken enough time with me and explained everything in detail and has always put my health first. Couldn't ask for a better GI doctor.

I have been seeing Dr. Zangara for almost 20 years and I could not ask for a more kind ,warm friendly and professional Doctor. When I see him it is more like seeing a friend than a Doctor. I would and have recommended him to my friends and my family with confidence.

Dr. Zangara is a truly professional and ethical doctor who is genuinely concerned about his patients and goes the extra mile to help you. He is quite intelligent, knowledgeable, willing to consult with other doctors about you and thinks outside the box. He does not just rely on book learning! He returns phone calls and listens and understands. He spends time with his patients because he is a caring,kind and patient man. I am so glad he is my doctor. If you need a super Gastro doctor ask for him.

Dr. Zangara is everything you could possibly want in a physician. He is knowledgeable, informative, caring and patient. I never feel rushed and if I have 100 questions he’ll answer them all. Choose Dr Zangara, you’ll be glad you did.

Dr. Zangara is a compassionate and helpful practitioner. I found his bedside manor to be warm and informative. Along with Dr. Bleicher, who I have also had experience with, I recommend this group, and Dr. Zangara in particular, for gastro issues. The staff has also been helpful and responsive.
