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.

Dr. Monka always takes the time to give a thorough exam and answer any questions and concerns. He also calls to go over the blood tests and explain the results and any follow up needed. I recommend Dr. Monka to anyone seeking a Primary Care Physician.

During the COVID pandemic, I suffered greatly from my underlying health problems. They were severe enough to disrupt my daily life, but not so severe that it was life threatening. Still, they made it so living each day was difficult. Every doctor I tried to see was closed or told you to go to the ER. Not Dr. Monka. Both him and his office staff were very kind and responsive. When I called for help, they returned my calls without fail, and did everything they could to help me through this time. I couldn't ask for a better doctor than Dr. Monka, and I'm so happy I found him. He is so patient, responsive, kind, and hard working. I couldn't have made it through this without his help.

I have been seeing Dr. Monka for 20+ years now. I trust his medical opinion implicitly. Otherwise why would I go to him for so long? I first saw Dr. Monka while in a small private practice in Morris Plains that has now grown into a large facility in Cedar Knolls. This however is great because your bloodwork, x-ray, cardio and gastro is all under one roof. There's also MRI and CT scan available in the same building too.

Dr. Monka is great doctor. VERY thorough, knowledgeable, courteous and patient. Always answers all our questions and gets back to us if he needs to followup. His office is "full service" so we don't need to go to several doctors or labs for additional testing. The office staff used to be rude, or at least one person, but I think that issue has been resolved.
