I went to doctor Reyes with an issue of an overactive bladder. I had taken medications before with no help only negative side effects. He was very helpful to me because I was able to try a therapy treatment in the building. This treatment was extremely helpful with my situation and I thought he and his staff were very nice. They made me feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation.

Very caring doctor. I get nervous after I have to change doctors. Seeing that Dr. Perfetto was retiring I had to find another doctor.. Dr. Perfetto reassured me that doctor Anthony Ricottone would be a good doctor for me . im so glad I listened to him and not listen to some of these reviews.l

The first time I saw Dr Ricottone was about 20 years ago. He diagnosed and promptly treated me. I have had to see him with more issues recently. He is always professional and respectful and more importantly competent.

Dr Ricottone took time to review my full medical history, was empathetic, and spent enough time with me to address my concerns. The staff was courteous and friendly.

The doctor was pleasant, but sadly after I had my bladder suspension I was never seen by him for any follow ups. What is even worse is, I was never even examined by the PA.Typically, once you have surgery you are examined afterwords. Nobody ever looked at me only asked how I felt. I now have problems with my bowels and complaints of other female issues since this surgery. Would NEVER suggest this doctor. Very poor post op care. Expensive office...not worth your time!

This Physician is supposed to be a Specialist but sends his Physician Assistants to see patients. We had to request he come to see my father while in the hospital. He seemed put out by this. He seems to be overbooked and raking in as much money as he can. I would never recommend anyone to go to him!

This doctors bedside manner sucks.he didnt give my husband and I any information as far as what do expect after having his prostate removed because of cancer.Was in a hurry to just get the surgery done and over with.spent barely any time with us mostly seen his P.As instead.i do not reccommend this doctor at all.he needs to slow down on his practice and spend more time with his patients and give them more information.We will never go back to this doctor.

Went to this doctor for treatment of a kidney stone which was located in my ureter, had ct scan done, he perform the surgery. I had issues with the stent he put in--5 different nurses had to call me through the day and each time had to go back to him,he was unhelpful and told me if he took it out and I had issues then I give him no choice to cut a hole in my back to drain my kidney. Then he tells me, by the way you have another stone located in your kidney!!! Bad experience!

What a CLOWN this guy is. Sees patients once in the office to diagnose them and then delegates everything to mid level employees. If you go to the Emergency Room don't expect a call back from Tony. He will have his Nurse or PA call you. Tony does NOT administer treatment either. He delegates this to his Physician Assistants. If you are looking for decent bedside manner and for someone who provides 1 on 1 care he is definitely NOT your guy. Zero stars was not an option here, otherwise that's what he would get.

Was very rude and defensive to both myself and my wife. Treated us as if we were idiots. Will not go back to him. I will NEVER tell anyone to go to him. Staff was very nice. I do not know other MDs in the practice, so this does not reflect their professionalism. The other MDs should be aware of these reviews. Would love to see him gone.

I saw this doctor 3 times. He is rude, arrogant, and impatient. He refuses to be questioned. He raised his voice at me during our last conversation. I asked him to calm down. He did at first but then became loud again. I pointed out his inappropriate behavior again. He told me not to tell him to calm down. He is the doctor and to find another one. I didnt realize he owned the place. I dont understand how someone is coming to you with a serious problem and you treat them with disrespect. He needs to understand the patient is his paycheck.

I had an awful experience with Dr. Ricottone. I saw him four times, very cocky and rude staff was also rude! After I wrote a letter saying I no longer wanted to be a patient, he called me screaming, and then said that he was going to call my place of work and tell them what a bad person I was for leaving his practice. AWFUL EXPERIENCE SAVE YOUR MONEY!

He was rude and arrogant to my 86-year-old mother (his patient), and even ruder and more arrogant to me (I accompanied her). He did not listen to a central issue, my mothers concerns (which led her not to take the prescription he gave her previously). He told us angrily that his instructions were good, and to get out of his office. As I got my elderly mother, in her wheelchair, ready to go, and put on my own jacket, he came back by the patient room several times making argumentative remarks.

I could not wait to post this review. This MD is awful. All the negative reviews you read about him are true. I think he writes his own positive reviews to try to negate the negative ones. They all have the same tone. He may have gone to MD school but he skipped the classes to learn kindness and compassion. Shame on you Ricottone.
