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.

TERRIBLE office. All the doctors are absolutely wonderful.....if you can ever get an appointment to see them! Office staff is aggressively rude. Trying to get an appointment is near impossible, I've called multiple times throughout the day and no one ever seems to pick up the phone. Even if you leave a voicemail, no one ever calls back. The doctors are all fantastic, but good luck ever getting in to see them.

Terrible office!! Very unorganized! They sent me to a lab that no longer is open. They forgot to give me my paperwork from a visit also. I had results pending and they never called me! I had to keep calling them to get results. I would NOT recommend this office in Pompton Plains!!

This is in reference to negligence by Dr. Dara's staff. Dr. Brahms wrote a Rx for a test that my insurance covers for preventive. When I got the bill I did the research, my ins. co. declined because the Rx had the wrong code. For next 10 months Pat and Off. Mgr. AnnMarie lied to me monthly about resubmitting the Rx. Bottom line: it cost me $700 for a free test because of their negligence and Dr. Dara would not return my calls. You cannot trust this office staff to assist in these matters.
