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.

His old school Methodology, Expertise and Winning Personality means a great deal to my health. I am blessed to have him as my Internist.

Unable to reach office or get an appointment.
I've been going to this office since I was in high school. In recent years it's been harder and harder to get an appointment. Recently, I have had a new onset issue and attempted to make an appointment with the office in which I called and couldn't reach office. Only call center. Never received call back from office, and had to take it upon myself to go to a specialist. Upon still having my issue, I attempted again to get an appointment at this office. My PCP was booked until October and I had to settle for a new MD that I've never seen before and STILL had to wait at least a week for the appointment. I have now had my issue for 3, going on 4 weeks. Today my appointment got canceled about an hour before my appointment time due to a power outage, and although that sounds like an unforeseen circumstance, I am still inconvenienced and untreated for yet another day. I have never written a review in my life on anything, let alone ever written a bad review, but this is just unacceptable.

Very caring and professional
Another doctor recommended Dr. Luongo to me and assured me I'd be in good hands. Appointment times are actual appointment times, not broad concepts. I have been seen within moments of my arrival every single time without fail. When the Dr is in the exam room he is 100% in the room taking extra time to hear your issues and to go over possible treatments. Emails and phone calls are answered quickly even when I've indicated no rush for answers. Out of the numerous doctors I've had during the last 60+ years he stands out as the best overall.

Dr. Luongo is caring and understanding. He listens and answers your questions. He makes recommendations and orders testing and makes referrals as necessary and not frivolously. His follow-ups are wonderful. He asks about family. He always remembers other reasons you have visited the office. Dr. Luongo always returns calls and calls you with results and recommendations. My next comments have no bearing on Dr. Luongo or his staff. Because insurance companies have reduced the pay structure significantly, doctors have been forced to be swallowed by hospitals. Since the practice has been taken over by the Valley Hospital Medical System, it is many times difficult to reach the office directly. I found twice the system has over booked at my time slot twice. Also it takes me a day or two extra to get an answer to "When was the last time. . . " I am not even sure they pass messages on.

I arrived at my appointment with a long list of questions and every one was answered. Dr luongo is caring and compassionate. My appointments are scheduled 6 months in advance in the office- I know he is busy but worth the wait. Except for one person in the office they are super.

Not impressed. The office staff is very rude. When I tried to check in for my appointment, the receptionist was on the phone with another patient. She didn’t even acknowledge me. I stood there waiting more than five minutes while she chatted. She totally ignored me. Meantime, I came in to see Dr. Luongo for a specific reason. He didn’t have a clue what was wrong with me. Did blood work and forgot to call me. No nurse to give me results. I won’t be going back.

I've been with Dr. Luongo for two decades, and he remains top-flight. He is a keen listener, and does not look to move his patients along without getting a full understanding of their issues, their lifestyles and how they might affect certain conditions, both temporary and chronic. This is not a lazy physician. He will proceed with an abundance of caution when it comes to his patients and take the time to find the best path(s) forward.

I started with this practice in the early 1970's, with Dr. Luongo's father. Both Dr. Peter Luongo and Dr. Theodore Sgambati are excellent physicians. It is a busy practice, but each of them will take the time to interview a patient to determine the proper course of treatment or next steps. My entire family relies on these two doctors. They are knowledgeable, professional and caring in providing medical attention to their patients. The Office Staff has a difficult job and performs well.
