Dr. Joseph Licata, MD

In my many dealings with medical professionals over the years, I have never been treated more rudely. This doctor had absolutely no compassion for the background of the patient, nor did he take the time to truly evaluate the situation before declaring "You need surgery". very emphatically. Turns out, that was not the case, and I am so glad I didn't listen to him. It turns out my situation had not significantly changed from previous procedures, but apparently all he cared about was his surgical skills. I was extremely disappointed in his rush to judgement without taking the time to investigate and fully analyze my case. I would not recommend this surgeon for any procedure as a result of my experience.

Dr Licata is an excellent doctor. It is because of his excellent work, I am getting stronger every day. Thank you doc. Nick C.

Dr. Licata was recommended to me by my GP for my inguinal hernia surgery repair. Dr. Licata was very thorough in his explanations of the surgery I required. My surgery went great with a very fast and complete recovery. I would highly recommend Dr. Licata to anyone requiring general surgery as he is the best.

Thank you Dr Licata for a timely assessment and biopsies of a dangerous condition. You were there when I needed you. You are a true professional and a kind and caring physician.Diane

EXCELLENT SURGEON !

I had to have a very serious operation and Dr. Licata set the stage for the best possible successful surgery as well as recovery. I needed to have part of my colon removed. The office staff is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Whenever you call you speak with a real person.Don't be put out by the fact that he only accepts out of network benefits. The office staff takes care of submitting the paperwork. Dr. Licata is excellent at what he does and his bedside manner is great!

I have been to many doctors offices but this office is the best at all they do. I would highly recommend.

I went to Dr Licata based on my primary care physician who thought I had active appendicitis symptoms. His office staff fit me in immediately. When I saw him he said you need to go for a Ct scan immediately. His staff precertified my Ct scan immediately. Dr licata told me he would get a preliminary read and let me know. Dr licata called me almost immediately after my test and said get to the Emergency room. I didn't want to go and he insisted. He saved me from a very serious situation. Thank U!

I was completely impressed with Dr Licata expertise and level of care before and after an emergency Gall Bladder surgery. He and his staff were completely thorough explaining the procedure on what to expect during surgery and aftercare. His bedside manor was professional and comforting , which gave me a strong feeling of trust. I would highly recommend.

Dr. Licata was the on duty surgeon at Valley hospital when I was brought in with an emergency condition. Dr. Licata did a great job in treating my condition.

Could not be happier with the care I have gotten from Dr Licata. Would definitely recommend..

Great bedside manner. Nice doctor

He may be a good surgeon but I won't stay to find out because his business practices seem unethical. I made appt, came into office tried to give my BC&BS insurance card and pay $20 co-pay. They told me they would settle with me after I saw the Dr. But after seeing Dr. when I again handed in my card they told me they are out of network and I would be responsible for bill. That is information I could have used when making the appt or at the very least before seeing the Dr that day.

Excellent care. Highly experienced and truly cares about his patients.
