Dr. George A. Guariglia, DO

I would give this 5 stars if as everyone says, the wait times were less long. THEY HAVE GOTTEN BETTER. I find the nurses, all great, never an attitude, lovely. Sometimes the front desk can be maybe "distracted" and it comes off as rude? Reading the other's comments, I have not experienced it, but again, I wouldn't stand for it, and those complaining, I think MOSTLY should speak to them directly and see if there is a change. I have and also try to schedule non emergencies FIRST thing or ask who is on, Dr. G IS careing and thorough (they all are) but he gets backed up more than the other providers. I DO like the "one stop shopping concept" and have used several of the doctors that come to WM and appreciated them, wish the "blood" lab would take prescriptions for patients of his regardless if he writes the script, but as I said, I can't give 5 stars until the office schedules it closer to appt time. The WALK INS should be the ones waiting, not the scheduled appts, unless there is a true emergency, and could't they assign one of the docs for walk in's only? Dunno the answer but it needs addressing.

Well, he misdiagnosed my father a few times and his staff are unbelievably rude. My whole family and I will never go back again!! BEWARE!!

Capable,caring,and personable. A great doctor and person. Our family doctor for years.

Dr G is just amazing. Comforting, open to questions and detailed in his care. His staff is equally open to helping and nurturing care. The Practice has grown significantly is a great additional to the West Milford Community. Highly Recommend

One staff member was really snotty and rude. And the nurse practitioner was rude Andrea Rivers never will go to the office if she is there again

A doctor who takes his Hippocratic oath to heart. Doctor G is compassionate, intelligent, friendly, wise and experienced. He takes time to listen to your description of current ailment while observing not only your vitals but movements, posture, appearance and overall condition. Instead of the standard approach used by doctors today: snatch up ur co-pay, get u in an exam room, read your chart, listen to ur heart, diagnose with whatever the hot bug is at the moment, throw a few useless scripts at u and show u the door. Doctor Guariglia is A true healthcare professional. Aside from the typical long waiting room queue, I can't think of a negative aspect of this man's practice.

I have no complaints about Dr. Guariglia -- he's intuitive, patient and personable with a common sense approach to medicine -- but plenty of complaints about this very badly run practice: Wait times can run over an hour, sometimes two with an appointment -- the excuse is that they take walk-ins. Staff is usually friendly but badly trained, i.e. giving unsolicited medical advice, which is bad enough coming from someone with no medical credentials, but worse then it's wrong. Incorrectly interpreted information is entered in patient charts by unskilled staff member(s) who take initial histories. Office manager does not welcome complaints and makes excuses instead of corrections, i.e. "we save people's lives" (OK, but that's your job). This is a malpractice suit waiting to happen. I wish Dr. Guariglia would wake up and fix these problems before he's faced with a really serious problem.

No one should not have to wait 45 minutes or more past the scheduled appointment, in a room waiting for the Doctor. My time is valuable also. Happens every time, no matter when an appointment is made. Seems overbooking is the norm. Doctors need to value their patients as much as we value their service.

Awesome Family Practice. My son love's the place and that's very important for me! Always caring!

Great Dr., knows his stuff. Made me feel at ease.

Dr. G is excellent! He cares about his patients--and goes above and beyond to help you in any situation.

Genuinely caring and knowledgeable doctor.

I have known Dr. G for years now going back to his time in Wayne,NJ at High Mountain Medical, he has always been there for my family and I. Whatever we need he finds the time to accommodate and make us feel cared about. There are not too many wonderful doctors out there who actually want to spend the time and dedicate themselves to their patients. The new office in Hewitt is wonderful, from the outside you would never expect such a truly a beautiful office. The staff at Dr. G's has always been friendly. Wonderful manager, nurses, and receptionists. I was so pleases as he even managed to bring along one of my favorite ladies from High Mountain to assist him in his expansion. She has always been such a pleasure and really works hand in hand with the doctor to accommodate our many needs. Overall I have to say that my heart is with this practice and may god bless them as they grow bigger and bigger in the years to come. Highly recommending this practice to everyone who is looking for a office who cares and wants the best for their patients.

Very Caring Doctor

Dr. George is the best dr. I have ever seen. He has treated my whole family, and has always been the most caring dr. ever. He has even called on a sunday, when he heard I had been in the hospital. Every time one of us went to see him, he always asked about the rest of the family. Once he even fed his lunch to my husband when he was having problems with his blood sugar. We love dr george and wish he would move to Pa.

he has ben my doctor for 9 yrs he has been great overal all

The doctor is fabulous! Born to be a doctor - very caring and thorough. However, his office staff is not particularly helpful or courteous!

Typical Dr not valueing patients' time. 95 minutes for a 5 minute visit is totally unacceptable.

I love Dr. Guariglia - he has been my physician for three years. After moving to the area from another state, I despaired ever finding a doctor who would take the time to answer my questions, who wouldn't talk down to me and who would encourage me to follow his advice without being a bully. I found all of this in Dr. G. My only complaint is his office staff, but I can put up with that for the excellent quality of care I know I'll get once I get into the exam room.
