Dr. Ingato is an excellent listener and is the best doctor I have ever had. He took the time to pull up my old EKG report and had his staff do another one while I was in the office to be sure that everything was okay. I feel that he is really concerned about my health, as he instructed me to call him upon receipt of my bloodwork results so he can discuss them with me personally. I felt like I had his undivided attention the entire time of my visit. He is indeed a rarity! I have already recommended him to my family.

8/19/2025
Paid attention to our concerns. Was very thorough with my husband. Was very concerned about my husband. Wanted to make sure we get the right feedback from other doctors. Told us to talk to another doctor, also our regular, the Debora Heart and Lung, to make sure we go and make an appointment with the heart doctor. And to get our blood work done within a couple of months.

I started seeing Dr. Ingato over the summer, and he is very thorough, and he's very helpful, and he's kind, and he listens, and he tries to figure out what's going on. There couldn't be a better physician that I've had that does all those things. Thank you.

8/13/2025
I usually go to the waiting office to see Dr Ingato. I can't wait until renovations are done so I can return to that office. That Ingato has seen me for years. He is always available and listened to me. There aren't many physicians that actually listen to your heart for a full minute and lungs. I always feel that he is One of the greatest doctors I've ever had! Being retired RN and seeing Dr 's on rounds for 30plus yrs. Dr. Ingato is what everyone should expect from the doctor.
8/8/2025
Yes, Dr. Ingado takes his time with his patients, so he doesn't rush them out. Before you leave, he makes sure he understands everything. And personally, I think all doctors should be like him, and unfortunately, they're not. So I would highly, highly recommend Dr. Ingado.
8/6/2025
I am extremely satisfied with Dr. Ingado. The only thing is, I wish that he would be in Bayville instead of in Whiting, because that's quite a ways for us to go, since we live in Tom's River. But there isn't anything but praise that I could give for Dr. Ingado. Thank you.
8/6/2025

Dr Ingato takes his time to LISTEN to his patient and then answer questions with patience and clarity. He is completely non-judgmental, which I have found is not always the case with all physicians. He is knowledgeable and takes his time to ensure that the patient understands everything from test results to new medications. I never feel rushed during a visit and that is important to me. Thank you Dr Ingato.

5/28/2025
First of all when you walk into the office the girl at the reception desk greets you with a smile on face and makes you feel very comfortable!!! Then they get you in the room to see the doctor in less than five minutes which is unbelievable.... The nurse comes in the room and takes your vitals immediately and within ten minutes the doctor comes in again that's really impressive.... Dr. Ignato then comes in and always has a smile on his face which puts you at ease and he always listens to you and why you are there... He answered all my questions and tells you the game plan he will use to get you feeling better!!!! Dr.Ignato never fails you he is always on top of his game and he always gets you feeling better!!!

The office staff and assistants were very professional but friendly. I was able to get my blood work done at the office before my appointment, so that saved me a trip going somewhere else to have it done. Dr. Ingato discussed several health complaints w me and decided to d I an EKG. Based on test result, he referred me to a cardiologist. I did not feel as though he rushed the appt. He was very thorough.
