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.

Personable, Great Listeners, and Empathetic!!
Dr. Michael Garone and the staff are professional, attentive, listened, and responded delicately. Dr. Garone did not use terminology to assure I understood the treatment and procedure. He provided a plan of action on the next steps and followed up. A very efficient practice with warm and helpful staff. Dr. Garone and the staff are personable, great listeners, and empathetic!

Amazing Dr. Michael Garone
The staff have always been pleasant. I have not had to wait for my appointment to begin. Dr. Garone and his PA are very knowledgeable. I trust Dr. Garone for my care and for the care of any members of my family.

This is a sleazy doctor running, a business, an assembly line or something-anything-but a healthcare facility. Here they care more about money and scheduling the maximum number of patient in this 22 room assembly line than actual patient care. They are also keen in tricking patients into signing forms for private research company. Dr. Garone came to the room for less than 10 minutes. He was busy during the encounter dictating to a kid with a tablet all the ICD codes for insurance billing as he was speaking to me. ICDs are defined codes for each diagnosis, the more a doctor enters, the more they can claim in insurance). the doctor palpates my tummy and determines that I need an upper GIT laparoscopy (a diagnostic procedure) -from there all the communications were with rude ignorant staff who are trained to make you aware of prices, costs , money-all the conversations. nothing about your care-you are not a human-This is truly sad-and common in this country :( changed doctor.

Vomiting since procedure 3/2019. B4 Dr. Garrone put me under was told I was being given something to up my blood pressure; I said “stop; what is it I’m allergic to lots” I was interrupted and told “it’s ok u also r being given something to sleep and it will be taken effect immediately “ I then tried to say something.... then I woke up from procedure; blood pressure problems; kept for 2.5 hrs being shot w stuff. Now it’s 5/2019. Still vomiting. Haven’t had any problems till Dr. Garrone performed procedure. Hard to talk to him and his Staff. Was told from my PCP to report Dr. Garrone to the Board of Medicine.

In my opinion zero compassion and listening skills. No interest in hearing what the patient is experiencing. No follow up and difficult to reach or get a response. Disorganized and unprofessional front office and staff. A very frustrating and poor experience.

I was recommended to Dr. Garon by other doctor who I know for a long time ago, for that reason I decided and didn't doubt on going there. Dr. Garon showed up to the first appointment upset, seems he was under to much stress, he didn't explain the procedure for colonoscopy, he didn't help at all. he did some blood work in the office but received my results after one month of leaving voicemails to her nurse name NASHAE. The doctor is unprofessional and a lier. my advising - Certified Medical Assis
