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.

Would rather go to jury duty
After waiting 2 months for a new patient appointment the office wait was 1 and 1/2 hours- my husband finally walked out- very crowded room with people coughing. I thought drs had learned better during covid-

Dr Caruso is fantastic
Dr Caruso is fantastic! However, the front desk people in the Bloomfield office are very rude, canceled an appointment 15 minutes prior to my appointment time. they don’t let you finish your question they cut you off. I would recommend the doctor but they need to get a new staff

Professional, patient & thorough
I've been very impressed with the time, patience and professionalism of Dr. Caruso. I, personally, never experienced any problems with the office staff. I found it incredibly easy to make timely appointments and I truly appreciate how helpful they have been regarding all of the logistics surrounding surgery and aftermath. I would highly recommend this practice and am very grateful for Dr. Caruso & his staff.

Incompetent staff scheduled wrong day with wrong Dr. Good thing I did not take off work. Office is in undesirable area as panhandlers and prostitutes greet you in the parking lot. Office is dirty. Was asked to give urine sample in bathroom. Found five uncovered samples from other patients next to toilet. Absolutely disgusting. Samples were left under the towel dispenser so if you wash your hands, the water drips IN YOUR SAMPLES!!!! Anyone can contaminate your sample. This is a place you would expect to see in Mexico not NJ. Stay away because if they don't care about the bathroom and samples, how can you trust them to clean the instruments. ABSOLUTE FAIL. I WALKED OUT BEFORE I WAS SEEN!!!!!!

Dr. Caruso is a competent professional who is currently treating me. Always cordial and caring, Dr. Caruso attentively listens to my questions and concerns and provides thorough, helpful answers to my questions. I am confident Dr. Caruso is treating me as well, if not better, than any other doctor can.

Frequent urination problem (pee 10-12times at night). Dr. Caruso put me on antibiotics-3months (yes!) covering different spectra of bacteria. Did bladder intrusion test, vaginal ultrasound. Not much improvement (down to 7-8 times at night). Said it could be vaginal infection, but nothing clear. Took it into my own hands, stopped antibiotics, did research. Cut down caffeine completely (coffee, soda). Vola! Frequency down to 2times at night. Very dissatisfied with direction of treatment.

Dr. Caruso himself is excellent. He's a knowledge urologist who is thorough and dedicated. I would highly recommend him. However, his office staff is mostly incompetent and consistently fail to give him messages. There is no follow up or communication with the doctor on lab results and if you don't self advocate constantly you will fall through the cracks. Simple UTI results can take a week to 10 days to finally get a script because no one follows up with the Doctor.
