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.

Best caring doctor
Dr Meininger referred me to Cardiologist Andrew Weissman. He too is wonderful. I had tests which showed a cyst on liver. My internist was the dr who was supposed to tell me what to do with that. That dr would not call text or respond. So I called Dr Meininger. He looked up my scan. Called the radiologist at Englewood hospital to get his opinion. Then Dr Meininger called me to alleviate my concerns and tell me a plan moving forward. All of that was done within a 6 hour time frame. I feel fortunate that Dr Meininger is my doctor. I have some gastro and intestinal issues that he has treating for years. My husband and niece also use and respect him greatly. He is a special man who actually cares.

What a great doctor he is! Even though his area of specialty is gastroenterology he always asks about other Medical issues I have because he feels everything is interrelated. He is always upbeat And nurturing. I wish I could use him for the other medical conditions I deal with

If you are looking for a good Gastroenterologist, you should see Dr. Meininger at the Gastroenterology Group of Northern NJ. He is absolutely one of my favorite doctors. He’s super nice, very comforting and is extremely smart. I had a colonoscopy/endoscopy last month and the entire process went smoothly. The staff are also really nice and very helpful!! Plan to stick with Dr. M and this group for many years to come!!

Just had a colonoscopy procedure with Dr. Meininger. He came in to speak with me before the procedure, what to expect. He remembered our 2 minute accidental meeting 3 weeks ago, that was impressive, since he see so many. He returned after the procedure to explain the results. He is quite professional and friendly with a great “bedside manner”. Thank you Dr.

When my husband was hospitalized and recovered, Dr. questioned the reports written at the hospital and was not convinced based on the terminology used in the reports. He ordered another test which proved his findings to be correct. He is a outstanding doctor and highly intelligent. We highly recommend him. A true doctor who questioned the science. I am eternally grateful.

First appointment. Arrived early; filled out all preliminary paperwork. Waited 45 minutes for 10AM appointment before leaving and getting co-pay refund. At 10:25, asked receptionist how far Dr. Meininger was running behind and was told she couldn't get an answer. Little respect and no communication or patents awaiting appointment.

As an RN who has worked with Dr. Meininger in the hospital, and as a long time patient, I am continually impressed by his compassionate and courteous nature. I have sent, and will continue to send, my whole family to him for various issues and I always know they are going to receive the best care available. I would recommend Dr. Meininger to anyone - you will not regret it!

Dr. Meininger has been mine and my families physician for about 2 years now. He has shown nothing but compassion and caring for me and I can not ask for a better doctor to treat me and my loved ones. The staff and nurses have accommodated every request that I have ever asked for. If it was not for him and his partners (that I have seen a few times as well when Dr. Meininger was away) I would have most certainly ended up very sick and in the hospital. I highly recommend him to everyone!!!!
