Dr. Faugno is the best. He's been my PCP for years. Will never go to another doctor! Also the office staff is so nice.
Hi, I would like to be able to contact the doctor's office directly rather than having to go through Hackensack Meridian and talking to a stranger who doesn't know any situation about me, and then he will or she will pick out a date. But I would rather get to know the office staff, and they know me, and the doctor knows me, so there should be a direct line to the doctor's office. Thank you.
Dr faugno has been my doctor for many years the best ever!
Our family knows DrFaugno for long time. He is friendly and is a good listener.
Hi, I've been a patient of Dr. Gerard Fauno for 25 years and I've never had an issue with him. He's always been prompt, always been good to work with and great doctor, great staff. Would recommend wholeheartedly. Thank you.
Dr. Faugno has provided excellent care for me for many years.
I was totally pleased with the health care that I receive from my doctor. He is my doctor and I've been going to him for a couple of years now and I would not change. I'm very pleased with doctor and his ability to help me when I have issues. So yes, I can't say enough about him. Okay, that's it.
He is great.
I'm very happy with Dr. Faugno and that's it. He's a good man. Thank you.
Dr Faugno is AWESOME. A great DOCTOR
Dr. Faugno and his staff are always friendly and helpful. Dr. Faugno always takes the time to answer any questions I may have. He's always professional and takes whatever time I need to help me.
For me the doctor was excellent.
Dr Faugno gives you 100% to be sure we feel better asap. And if a few days goes by and still not feeling better, immediately requests your return to his office.
It was good. Thank you.
the doctor has very good skills
Went for my yearly physical, but the doctor never took my urine specimen. He never checked my ears and never did an EKG. And I'm kind of curious why that wasn't done for a yearly physical. Thank you.
Excellent visit very informative.
I have been a patient of Dr Faugno for well over 30 years. He is kind, very intelligent and thorough in his examination. I hope he never retires.
I never feel rushed during my visits, which is something I really appreciate. The doctor always takes time to go over everything, explain my results, and make sure I understand what's going on with my health. I always leave feeling well cared for and informed.
Dr. Faugno is an excellent physician and his office staff is very nice and helpful.
Dr. Faugno has been my primary care provider for over 30 years. He is incredibly conscientious and caring.
Dr. Faugno is fabulous. He inquires about my health since I last saw him and answers any questions I have.
I appreciate Dr. Faugno's kindness and the sincere care he shows to his patients!!
Impressed with his team, without question Dr Faugno listens and focuses on you. Well respected well regarded. Knows his "stuff".
I've been a patient of Dr Faugno for many years. He knows my health issues very well and makes sure I get the proper care. Dr Faugno is very knowledgeable and that makes me feel comfortable being under his care.
Dr Faugno is the best. He listens to everything I say.
Always a pleasant experience from the front desk to Dr FAUGNO.
Waiting 3 months for a new patient appt is a little extreme
Great experience.
Dr Faugno is an excellent doctor. he is very caring and has his patients best health interest at heart.
said this to my family and friends. I've had several other doctors before him and one would even start off kind of okay and phase out. This doctor is way above the rest of them. He is very nice, always gives me the stuff that makes me better fast. I was in the hospital this doctor, and he took care of it in days. He gave me the stuff. They were shooting stuff directly in my veins. He gave me pills. Every time something happens, the stuff he prescribes makes me better in the flesh. I recommend him to everybody.
I have been coming to this doctor for the past over 30 years already, and I would not have it any other way. Every time I'm there, he addresses all my health concerns, and I could not have asked for a better doctor than him.
I had a lot of questions regarding my past blood work trends. Dr Faugno provided all the time I needed to get clear answers to my questions.
Yes, everything was great. They treated me very well and are ready to listen if I need anything. Thank you.
Dr. Faugno was very understanding about my condition.
My visit went well. I would just like to be informed when the physician is running behind. Thank you.
Dr Faugno is an excellent GP. I never feel rushed and all my concerns are addressed and communicated in a way that is understandable. For all the years I have been going to him, I can say I trust his diagnosis and course of action for my health care.
He is very knowledgeable and explains everything in detail in a way that you understand. His entire staff is extremely helpful from making an appointment to checkout. The staff is always compassionate with your issues. Great Doctor and Staff.
Dr Faugno is the best !!!!
Very through exam and Dr. Faugno answered my questions.
The only thing that I do not like about this is how I can't get a hold directly of the doctor's office. I have to go through your call center, and your call center is not all that helpful. Some of them are really snippy and snotty, and others are just, they don't even care. They're just like, yeah, okay, hold on. Not very pleasant, not very efficient, and it really sucks. Thank you.
It was to the point..
Dr. Faugno is wonderful and has been my primary doctor for many years. The girls at the office were very nice and friendly.
Other than the long wait it was an excellent visit
Dr. Faugno is very thorough, always knows what he's talking about, always knows my history, and he's an outstanding doctor. That's what I have to say about Dr. Faugno. I've been coming to him for a long time. My wife goes to him for a long time. We have friends that go to him for a long time, and I would not change doctors for any reason whatsoever.
the best as usual.
Dr. Faugno is well-skilled and a good listener. His office staff are friendly and efficient.
Dr. Faugno is an outstanding doctor who truly takes the time to listen and understand what's going on. He never rushes through appointments and always makes sure I feel heard and cared for. What I appreciate most is how clearly he explains everything - from what's causing the issue to exactly what steps I need to take to feel better. His detailed instructions are incredibly helpful and show how much he cares about his patients' recovery. I'm grateful to have a doctor who is not only knowledgeable but also compassionate and thorough. Highly recommend!
Dr. Faugno has been my doctor for many years. He's a wonderful doctor and he really listens to your concerns and addresses all of them without a rush and always with kindness.
I would rate the care I have received from Dr. Faugno as 11 on a scale of 10.
The staff was knowledgeable and very helpful. A polite greeting when I walked in. Dr. Faugno listened to my concerns and advised me in a way that was easy to understand.
Benn a patient of Dr Faugno for many years!
I am very satisfied with my visit. I was able to speak about an issue that happened to me two weeks prior to my visit when I was out of state . Doctor Faugno listened and advised me. He is a great and dedicated doctor.
I love going to Dr. Faugno. He's very thorough. He explains everything perfectly. And usually when I leave, all my issues are answered and solved. So his appointments are quick and easy, and he's nice to talk to.
I have never been happier with a medical professional in my life. He is amazing. He has patience. He listens to you. He makes you feel at ease. I have no problem with going to him, referring him to anyone. He is great. My whole family uses him.
I've been a patient of Dr Faugno for decades. He is the nicest ,helpful and most compassionate doctor I ever had. No matter what the problem is, he knows exactly what to do to fix it. I'm being selfish by saying I hope he never retires.
He has always been a great doctor, I Will stay with him as long as possible
Dr Faugno and his staff are always professional and kind
Distant I have been a patient with this doctor for almost 40 years and excellent service He cares His staff cares And everyone in the office Cares he is an awesome doctor
I have been a patient of Dr. Faugno's for very many years. As soon as Hackensack took over, I cannot call his office directly. I have to go to an answering service, and it's very annoying and upsetting because half the times they're so busy that they will not be able to call me back. And that's the one thing that I do not like about the way this is going right now. Dr. Faugno's great, but the way about to get through to him is horrible.
Dr Faugno is the best!
Absolutely professional
Dr Faugno is a very knowledgeable and kind person. He is so calm and collective and always ready to help you understand your health issues.

I have been swing Dr Faugno for over 15 years. He's thorough, caring, listens, and office staff are always friendly, and professional.
He's a very good provider. I understood everything he says. He understood me. He knows exactly what I want. And I will most likely recommend it. And he has a lot of experience, I know that. I just appreciate very much a doctor like that. Thank you.
I have been going to Dr. Faugno since about 1995. My daughter, now her husband, my two granddaughters, my mother, ex-husband, and my in-laws' families, and my son-in-law's family. I have recommended him to a lot of people. He's the best.
Dr.FAUGNO is amazing doctor. I had to stop seeing last year because insurance purpose. This year my insurance changed to Cigna and now I came back to him. I'm so happy he's my doctor again

Dr. Faugno is great. His secretaries need improvement.
Everything is wonderful. Thank you. I appreciate that.
great
I've been going to Dr. Faugno for quite some time. I'm very pleased with him. And what more can I say? He makes you relaxed, he explains things, and I have a lot of confidence in the man. Okay, all right, bye.
Yes, the doctor was always cooperating with me and everything. He's a good guy. And I always recommended him to my relatives and friends. But I also want to say his staff there, the girls that are working there, very polite. They greet you right. I think they need a little recognition. Thank you.
Dr .Faurgno the Best !
Dr Faugno just makes you always feel better!
I always have a great experience with this provider and the office staff. what I do not like and do not appreciate is the telephone service when trying to call this office. I can never get to communicate with office. Always this third party service that is always unhelpful. I would rather speak to the office directly!
He's the best
Thank God I found him.
Dr. Faugno has been my PCP for over 30 years. He has always taken wonderful care of me

Been seeing Dr. Faugno for years, wouldn't stop
The Doctor Faugno is the best. Great experience.
Always a comfortable environment, from check in to check out. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
It was as pleasant as I thought it would be
It's nice to have a provider who you can think of as a friend. Dr.is very helpful in answering all our questions. You can always count on him to help.
Always the billing time is more than 25 minutes. Even the doctor visits us for only five to six minutes.
I like going to Dr. Gerard Fognel. I think he's very professional. He's very knowledgeable. He's very easy to talk to, and I trust the care that I get from him.

Dr. Faugno listens and provides excellent feedback.
Love doctor Faugno and all the nurses.
i have been seeing doctor faugno for over 30 yrs.
For me he is a good doctor!
Making the phone call was the worst thing in the world. You have to listen to all Hackensack information, not the doctor's office. I would like to get straight to the doctor's office and be able to talk to the people in the doctor's office, not have to hear everything about all the scheduling on Hackensack Hospital. I'm not going to the hospital yet, thank God. I just wanted to talk to the provider, not anybody else. It took, like, 15 minutes just to get to the office. So that's where you can improve it.
I was having abdominal pain and called at 4:30 pm and got an appointment for 6:15. I left about 7 for Mountainside ER, where a CT scan confirmed Dr. Faugno's suspicion that I was suffering from diverticulitis. I've been a patient for 20 years and deeply appreciate Dr. Faugno's old-fashioned approach to practicing medicine. By that I mean he covers history, takes blood, etc himself. These days, with many doctors, you feel like they can't get out of the examination room quickly enough. Their offices are assembly lines. But Dr. Faugno and his staff treat you with respect. I'm not sure how they manage to get people in on time without making you feel short-changed for attention, but they do. Dr. Faugno is a clear, straight-shooter, and I'm grateful he's my primary care physician.
Dr Faugno has been my internist for over 20 years. He knows my history and acts accordingly. He is very knowledgeable and professional in our appointment.
Dr. Faugno showed his usual concern about my medical problem and made sure that my problem was resolved in a timely manner.
When I need to speak to the doctor's office immediately, I have a hard time about that because the initial call is to the center and the center people are nice, don't get me wrong, but I don't think that the messages are being sent accurately or in an urgent manner because I hardly ever get a call back and I always wind up calling more than one time.
I've been a patient of Dr. Faugno for over 25 years. He's always done me very well. He's very pleasant and very helpful. I recommend him highly.
Dr. Faugno is a very good doctor, caring, patient and definitely knowledgeable.
Dr. Faugno has been my doctor for a good number of years now. I've always found him caring, willing to listen, and taking the time to explain any questions I might have. I recommend him for anyone to go to. He has a great knowledge and patience with all of his patients. Thank you.
Yes, very professional, polite staff, division as always, very attentive, overall good experience that I'd recommend.
Answers all questions with a great understanding.Spends a lot of time with you about any concerns. Explains things easily to my understanding. He has a great demeanor. And also the office staff is very accommodating to you needs and questions
Dr. Faugno has a very professional demeanor. Always pleasant and informative.
It takes too long to schedule a physical appointment. I had to wait several months.
I have been going to Dr. Faugno for many years, and he continues to be a thorough and caring physician.
Yes, he is an excellent doctor. I've been going to him for many years. I always get an appointment when I need one. He explains things very clearly to me and if I have any questions, he takes his time to answer them. I tell everybody about him and I would never go anywhere else. He's an excellent doctor.
I am so happy that I found this Dr, He help me when Claarr Mass hospital didn't, his wife is a nurse who is very good to, and they have a nice staff.
Dr Faugno is the best with his patients. Gives you enough time during the visit. And the notes are just the best! Thank you Dr Faugno
Everything good
Dr Faugno is a very knowledgeable & thorough physician. Always had a great experience with this office.
The dr is great listens and is helpful
He is a very compassionate man I can talk to him about anything my family valued his opinion
Dr. Faugno and his staff are wonderful. My family's gone to Dr. Faugno for over 25 years and he's always been a wonderful, professional, caring doctor. And that's all I can say about him. Thank you.
Yeah, I wish you would have spent maybe another at least five minutes with me.
excellent knowledgeable Doctor!!!!!
Dr. Faugno is an excellent physician. I ve been very fortunate to be under his care.
Dr. Faugno has been my primary care physician for almost 30 years. Due to his diligence he is the reason I am cured of Hepatitis C and from prostate cancer. He is a wonderful caring physician
Very satisfying
I'm very happy with Dr. Faugno. I think he's super and he really works hard to keep me in good shape. And he's my doctor as long as I'm alive. Thank you.
Dr. Faugno is the best!
Wait time was horrible. Waited 40 minutes after my appointment time in the waiting room and another 20 minutes in the exam room before being seen by the doctor.
I have a concern regarding the recent news about Hackensack Meridian Health no longer accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield as an in-network provider. This is a significant issue for me, as I have been a patient of Dr. Faugno's for many years and value his care greatly. I believe it's a poor decision to drop BCBS, as it will negatively impact many patients. I am disappointed that I may have to find a new doctor due to this change.
Dr. Faugno has been great, listens, and shows compassion
Dr. Faugno is the best, most professional doctor I have ever had. I am lucky he is so close to my home. Thank you.
dr. faugno is great in everything.
Dr. Faugno is a really good doctor and I feel like he's always listening to you and he really is concerned about any issues you have. That's all. Thank you.
Dr. Faugno took the time and explained everything thoroughly. He did not rush me and was very, very patient and answered all of my questions. He definitely is a 10, and I've been with him for over 25 years, and he's been the same at every single visit. Definitely would recommend him to family and friends.
He was very caring and listened to everything I had to say and was very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him. And he took me right away as I needed to be seen.
Dr, Faugno is the greatest doctor I ever had. He is always able to fix all problems I have. He is also kind, caring and compassionate. I've been a patient of his for over thirty years. It's selfish on my part, but I hope he never retires.
I truly enjoyed meeting the doctor and I believe we're going to have a wonderful long-term relationship. The only issue I have afterwards is we did blood work in the office and it appears that the blood work may have been sent to a lab that's not in my plan. So that's going to cause me a significant out-of-pocket cost, probably, possibly. So that would be the only issue is the lab work thing. I will make sure in the future you don't see my lab work there. That is it. Thank you.
Dr. Faugno is a great Doctor
I had a lot of concerns about my health this time when I went to Dr. Faugno and I was able to talk to him about everything. And I walked in like a little bit nervous and I left there very content and very happy because he listened to me and he did talk to me about every concern I had. And I was just so relieved and so content when I left.
doctor ie excellent,gives you all the time you need and explain what the problem is. And why it is occurring.
What is an excellent doctor is an excellent excellent people who have you in his office and I like it a lot I have been going to him for like 15 years and I like it a lot you know what you have to do that perfect doctor.
Dr. Faugno is the best!
The doctors, they actually saved my life by sending me to the emergency room and picking up on my condition.
Great Doctor
I have been going to Dr. Faugno for almost 40 years. He's excellent. One of the best doctors around. Bye.
I have been seing doctor faugno for the past 30 yrs.I amvery satisfied with his care
Office staff is great, too
Also, the office staff is terrific. They're very helpful always.
Hi, the time was just perfectly for me because I was able to go early and go to work afterwards. Thank you.
The idea that I have to call a service now to get an appointment with my regular doctor who I've used for years is just so frustrating. Whatever happened to calling the doctor's office directly?
Dr. Faugno has been my doctor, it's got to be over 30 years, and anytime I have a problem, they take care of it immediately. I can't say anything more about him than it's a thousand times over. Thank you.
I find Hackensack to be very automated with these responses. I find when I call the hospital, it is a very troublesome issue because no one can answer any of my questions on the telephone. And no one can let me know other than a computer voice where things are coming from Hackensack.
I am very satisfied with Dr. G. Faugno as my primary doctor
Nothing else to add .....all good!
Dr Faugno has been my doctor for over 25 years and i have a very good relationship. i would not change doctor.
I have been a patient of Dr. Faugno's for more than 40 years. He is a remarkable man, dedicated, knowledgeable, caring, and wonderful. I would recommend him to anyone needing a physician.
Dr. Faugno is exceptionally a great doctor and always gives me the right medicine prescriptions to take. And he is so helpful all the time. Thank you.

Dr. Faugno was great and most helpful, put me in an immediate path to recovery.
