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.

Very pleased!
Couldn't have been any more pleased. Dr. Teller did a very thorough history and took time to answer any questions I had. Wish he could be my Primary!!!

After 10 years and 3 other pulmonary doctors, Dr. Teller was the one who correctly diagnosed me and came up with a successful treatment plan. He’s not a chatty person but, more importantly, he genuinely listens to you, asks questions, and really thinks about what you’ve said. He doesn’t jump to an obvious solution, he analyzes and decides. My primary care doctor said she sends her patients who no one else can help to Dr. Teller. Any reviews before May or June of 2024 are from his previous practice. It was very hard to contact them or get an appointment. That is NOT the case at his current location in Milburn, NJ. The staff there is accessible and very pleasant to deal with.

Worse Dr I have ever had!!
Telehealth
You can’t get an appointment with him! He has terrible bed side manners, his staff doesn’t know what they are doing!! I had to fight with the staff just to get an appointment! I guess he doesn’t care if you live or die!! Can’t get him to refill my medicine, I have to get my nurse practitioner to get all the meds I need!!!

Worst doctor ever. Please stay away from Dr. Eric Teller. He is rude, always late, and doesn’t know his subject well. He prescribed surgery for a simple remedy. I had to double check his suggestions with three other specialists to conclude that he was wrong.

Who knew a visit or just a checkup would cost 1000$ in 25 minutes. 3 tests( breathing in and out) in less then 10 minutes and a 5-10 minute chitchat. another 5 minutes of him looking at my nostrils and listening to me breathing with a stethoscope on the wrong side of where the initial injury took place. Why did i come here? You could have just charged my insurance but instead i have to pay a remainder as well? Don't recommend what so ever. (My side comments to reviewers as well) And how do people claim that he is a good doctor? What qualifications does the average person have to give others the impression that he is an exceptional doctor in his profession? Others wrote he is knowledgeable and intelligent, I sure would hope so since he is a registered Medical Doctor. Was he professional? Well he kinda listened to me while he was looking up my file, still don't see how that's a plus Did he seem to care? nope not really just another patient that he can drain some cash.

haven't seen him yet but I am now thinking of cancelling my appointment. Have been calling his office repeatedly AND NO ONE ANSWERS THE PHONE. I don't know whether or not he is a good doctor but this sure isn't a good sign of the way his office operates

Absolutely awful. 40+ minute wait for my first visit, so I called before my second. Was told he was running on time, come right over. So I got there and a guy with an appointment time of before my call was still waiting. I ended up waiting in the icebox of a waiting room with the most offensive smooth jazz nightmare music you can imaging blasting for over 30 minutes before walking out. Disorganized office, no respect for your time, employment, or effort. AVOID AVOID AVOID. Would give zero stars.

Would give zero stars if this was a choice. He has the worst office I've ever been to, but his bedside manner and aloof manner are even worse than his office! Makes you come back for all results and doesn't return calls. Do not go to see him unless you are a glutton for punishment!!!!

The doctor himself is very good , but the office staff is beyond horrible. Unprofessional speaking demeanor, lack of communication, and the front desk people actually seem like they are discouraging patients from getting info or making more appointments. Went to another doctor out of network so I didn't have to deal with his staff.
