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.

My daughter was an established patient of Lawrence Rosenthal. When she became very ill—unable to eat, losing weight dangerously fast, and unable to endure the approximate four-hour wait at St. Barnabas’ emergency room—we thought seeking his help would be the logical and compassionate choice. Unfortunately, we were wrong.The response we received was nothing short of dismissive. The front desk staff refused to let us see the doctor, repeating, “The doctor is not an urgent care doctor!” over and over again, both in person and later on the phone to me and my husband. There was no attempt to understand the situation, and certainly no effort to help a patient in need.It was clear that the doctor, and this practice as a whole, views patients as mere appointments on a calendar, not as people in need of care. My daughter didn’t require a lengthy evaluation or extensive tests—she just needed a simple prescription for anti-nausea medication, something any compassionate doctor could provide.

Such a wonderful experience! Dr. Rosenthal was kind, unhurried, and thorough. He took the time to explain exactly what is currently known about my condition, results of recent studies on it, and prognosis. He presented a plan for carefully monitoring the condition, and scheduled future appointments so we could regularly touch base and assure that I have the most up-to-date information. His staff was delightful, attentive, and competent.

Dr Rosenthal seems open and caring. Each case of MCC is different and the medical community needs to study and find more consensus. He spent10-15 minutes answering my questions.
