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.

Work comp., sent me to this person
Hi is worst Dr. Work comp, sent me to this person, can't say Dr, I live in Toms River, they made appointment for second option in Hamilton nj.At work I injured my knee and had torn meniscus on MRI, and what he put, arthritis and something with bones. He put what work comp wants, they said it's not related to work. I had pain from June 7 2023, today is October 2024. I think he probably thinks I lied. He is worse doctor, he should not practice in medical fields. He is rude and arrogant. He doesn't care about patient this is my opinion.

too long snd involved to get into it here but Dr Corona was unprofessional, demeaning, cavalier and incompetent. he misdiagnosed the etiology of severe and depilating pain which resulted in unnecessary medications and delay in obtaining the proper treatment.

My 11 yr old son has been to Dr. Corona for 2 separate wrist fractures. We found Dr. Corona to be very thorough and knowledgeable. We did not experience any long waits and the staff was exremely helpful in providing notification to the school regarding physical limitations and return to activities.

Not sure why all these negative reviews. I've been going to him for years. He's straightforward, not rude. He's given me excellent advice over the years.

I went to Dr. Corona on Wednesday for a WC injury to my wrist and foot. I requested to go to a Summit Med doctor because my doctor is part of the group and performed surgery on me six months ago. I sat in the waiting room for 30 minutes and saw the doctor for 11 minutes. How disgusting!! I was so disappointed by his terrible bedside manner and demeanor. I walked in with a boot and cane and he advised me that I had soft tissue damage; not a fracture. He then advised me to just"Take it Easy". Uns

I was there this morning and he made it seem as though I had no importance to him, felt as though he thought I was faking an injury, and it bedside manor was reprehensible. This doctor is the reason that folks do not go to doctors, or simply avoid it at all costs. I am very much let down and disgusted. I've since cancelled all appointments with SMG.

Workman comp made me see him twice. This man couldn’t care less about what I had to say or how I felt. Last thing he said to me after he abruptly left room was “have a nice life” Sorry but maybe that’s why he’s so old god is punishing him

Dr Corona has been taking care of my family for years. Both for my parents and now for my own children. He has always been patient and kind and has taken excellent care of various needs from broken bones to knee and back pain.

The worst. I hobbled into his office after taking a fall this past April. I had previously visited him in the past for pain in my left knee in 2014. This time my ankle was swollen and due to the fall it was pain in both knees. He walked in and not even examining he said well your foot is deform and the only thing i can do if give you pain medication. I left his office and went to another orthopedic doctor only after their xray showed i had a torn tendon.

This is absolutely the worst doctor I have visited in my life and he should be fired. Summit Medical has lots of great doctors and he does not belong there! DO NOT seek him for advice or you will regret it. He was mean, condescending, rude and did not answer any of my questions. He also does not believe in PT, which was the best thing ever, and most of my knee OA went away after only 4 sessions.

Came in for a severe back pain. He examined me and requested an x-ray. He was not eager to answer any of my questions, did not show any sympathy and made me feel stupid. I suppose he's seen thousands of patients over his long career so if he knows it all how come i don't? He suggested i stay home from work and rest and said he'd be delighted to write a note for work. This is all he wrote "OOW till further notice". Well, that'll do it!

in the exam room for 10 minutes. He made me walk a few steps around the tiny exam room, rubbed my knees for approximately 20 seconds.... he then determined that I needed shots in both knees and according to him, " I'll be good to go ." He wouldn't even allow me to explain my cause of injury or history of past orthopedic procedure regarding one of my knees. I attempted to explain my profession and my concerns to safely return to work and continue to earn a living. One word: UNPROFESSIONAL

Wow. Don't think I've ever interacted with a physician who has come across more disinterested, un-forthcoming with opinion/diagnosis, and generally dismissive. I mentioned this experience to my spouse who responded, If only you had mentioned you were seeing him, I would have warned you; I had exactly the same experience.

Seemed very uncaring. I asked about degenerative bone disease he stated never heard of it. I've been to a few doctors in regard to the pain I'm in and he has been the worst. He gave me an injection left the room with the other narcotics left open. Not going back.
