Dr. Peter Lontai Family Practice 76 Elmora Avenue, Elizabeth, NJ 07202

"Probably was a good doctor 20yrs ago, but not anymore. He has memory problems and doesn't remember a thing you tell him, even after he writes it down in your chart lol. Ladies in the front desk are beyond rude and don't know what they are doing. Only good thing about this place is that you can walk in without an appointment. Still not worth it to go there though. Never going back and I advise other folks to do the same. No point loading money into this Doctor's pocket and being treated like garbage. Find a Doctor that genuinely cares."

"So I called because I was going to be out of pocket patient and needed a medical clearance. I was very rudely talked to on the phone, rushed. Told that they had patients And could not be on the phone. that I would have to wait. I’ve worked in the medical field for 18 years and if you can’t deal with the phone lines and patients at the same time then maybe you cannot run an office."

"Amazing doctor with over 30 years of experience. He makes you feel heard and I have absolutely no complaints. Thank you Dr. Lontai for treating me and my family for so long."

"Amazing Dr and staff. I'm adding my review because I was surprised to see any bad comments for Dr Lontai. Been going to him for over 4 years and he has always been supportive of my concerns. The front staff are the kindest and friendliest people. I have the worst insurance and they always work hard to ensure everything I need gets approved. No wait time ever in the office and he takes walk ins. He is more of an "old school" doctor which I love because he keeps it more personal & doesn't see me as just more $$ & kicbacks from major pharma co.s by putting me on medication I don't need. He has real integrity which is tough to find these days. He keeps your treatment simple but effective and doesn't put new fancy medical terms to every minor itch, scratch or boo-boo but he really really cares about his patients and has always ensured my healthcare needs are met. That being said, patients go to Drs for all their health care needs because they're trained and experienced. Aren't the patients supposed to just present their symptoms to the Dr and let the expert investigate and give a final diagnosis? I feel they should. So I do take real issue with patients who freak out over every tiny new skin mark and the smallest of issues (a week of headaches), use the internet to self diagnosed themselves, then run right to their Dr for help, only to tell him he's wrong in his professional opinion because "the internet says" it could be one of 20 things and 5 tests are needed to see which one it is. Really? Then why did you even going to the Drs, if you had all the answers already? This is why healthcare is so expensive & many families with real serious ailments go without. Yeah, got a few headaches this week, so let's hurry up and run a $3000 or so MRI machine for a full brain scan. I get headaches practically everyday. Just put on your big girl pants, take a couple Advil and power through it. But if they do persists or get worse, then it makes better sense to go back to the Dr for a deeper look. Moreover, I really really take issue when a patient and a Dr (customer/servicer, etc.) do have a difference in opinion and when a patient doesn't get it all their way they throw a temper tantrum and find it appropriate to get revenge. So, while sitting so bravely behind a computer, they get real vengeful in bad mouthing a good Dr to the entire world, which, they themselves actually liked up until the disagreement. Ultimately in an attempt to hurt or ruin their good name which can seriously affect their livelihood. What if Dr Lontai "God Forbid" has a sick relative he cares for and looses patients because of your comments and can no longer care for them or even so he has ti miss a few bills payments. Think people, that's a terrible thing to do to someone, anyone. Especially considering you were able to find a new Dr, got the tests, the care and everything you needed. How is that fair? There wasn't any better way to handle the situation like an adult. Speak with the Dr directly and then change Dr and move on. Why a public dig? It's just not right nor kind. So, I say grow up bad commenters and own your part in the disagreement. Dr Lontai is an excellent Dr, he's well educated and if the symptoms presented fit an ailments he WILL address it and ensure you're tested accordingly."

"Very disappointed. I have been coming here for little over a year and initially I thought this doctor was great, boy was I wrong. The staff in the front desk are always nasty. The doctor pretty much shuts down any concerns you have. I'm annoyed. I have called twice this week for my results and both times the front desk was rude."
