Edward C Allegra, MD

Front desk staff have terrible attitudes and disrespect for the patients. I feel the doctors should address these issues.

I am appalled by the reviews. I have been a pt with Dr Allegra for 10 years. He is a genius and diagnosed me and repaired me when no one else could. Sitting is the waiting room is never fun, but that is anywhere you go. I walk in make my payment than see the doctor. If you dont like it there go some where else. Dr Allegra is the best Rheumatologist in Monmouth County. Good Luck .I highly recommend Him.

IVE BEEN CALLING TRYING TO REACH DR ALLEGRA SINCE AM . ONE ANSWERING RECEPTIONIST TELLS ME SHE SEES I TRIED TO REACH OUT AND ANOTHER RECEPTIONIST TELLS ME I COULDNT HAVE POSSIBLY CALLED BECAUSE MY COMPLAINT IS ON FILE !!!!!!!!!! FINALLY A DR GETS BACK TO ME ONLY TO TELL ME HE DOESNT KNOW MY CASE AND TO CALL AT REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS !!! WHICH I DID ! I CALLED FIVE TIMES TODAY WHEN I CALLED RED BANK SHE SAID SHE WOULD INFORM DR ALLEGRA ! NO ONE CALLED SO I CALLED AGAIN ONLY FOR THE ANSWERING SERVICE TO TELL ME THE OFFICE CLOSED !!! I WILL DEFINITELY BE FINDING A NEW DR with good receptionist who genuinely care about their patients seems like people here i just collecting a pay check and prescribing medication that doesnt work!

I was not overly impressed with the physician but the rudeness of the staff is preventing me from giving him another chance. I was seen in the Red Bank office and can’t believe a physician allows his staff to be this unprofessional toward his patients.

Always listens and works to resolve your issue.

I have been seeing Dr. Allegra for 16 years. I think he is very knowledgeable at his job. I agree the office staff could use a facelift and the wait time is rediculous and the front office in the winter months could use some heat especially if they make u wait for over an hour. The doctor has one problem he doesn't make eye contact when he talks to u which I find a little uncomfortable. But otherwise. I still like going to him and feel I am in good hands.

I have be going to Dr. Allegra for many many years. I agree with people that the staff in Red Bank needs some improvement. But the Staff at the Hazlet office is EXCELLENT! They are friendly, courteous and compassionate. They ROCK. Dr. E. Allegra is one of the best in his field (he ROCKS). He listens to my concerns, understands that because of my RA I am in pain every day. I find him to be a caring and compassionate doctor. I am blessed to have him as my RA doctor.

The office staff was nice, I had no issues....so glad I went great doctor that helped me. God Bless Dr.Allegra

I appreciate the way the Dr. relates to my Dad who is a senior citizen. The woman who mans the front desk is unpleasant, rude, and makes it clear that she has no interest in or patience to handle that desk nor be curteous to anyone! She may be hurting the Dr's practice.

DR ALLEGRA IS A VERY GOOD DR. HE HAS BEEN SPOT ON WITH MY DIAGNOSIS AND HAS TREATED ME WITH VERY GOOD RESULTS. HE SENDS ME FOR BLOOD WORK TO ENSURE THAT MY MEDICSTIONS ARE NOT AFFECTING ME IN ANY NEGATIVE WAYS. I AM GLAD I FOUND DR ALLEGRA . I HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN GOOD RESULTS FROM AWFUL ARTHRITIS PAIN. AS FAR AS MY OPINION GOES FOR THE NASTY WITCHES THAT WORK IN HIS OFFICE------ they are obnoxiously RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, IMPATIENT, NOT AT ALL FRIENDLY, AND DON'T HAVE A CLUE HOW TO BE POLITE OR JUST TO ACT LIKE LADIES. I DOUBT THEY LIKE THEIR JOBS BECAUSE THEY EXUDE A NEGATIVE ENERGY IF YOU APPROACH THEM PSYICALLY OR EVEN OVER THE PHONE. THE RED BANK STAFF ARE THE WORST. DR ALLEGRA, YOUR A VERY GOOD DR WHO HAS A LOUSY STAFF. THERE ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE HAPPY TO FILL THE SHOES OF THE OGERS YOU EMPLOYEE WHO COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF YOUR OFFICE. YOUR PATIENTS ARE PEOPLE WHO COME TO SEE YOU FOR COMPASSION AND PAIN RELIEF, NOT TO DEAL WITH THE… STAFF THAT WAKE UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE CAGE EVERY DAY. A STAFF MEETING IS LONG OVER DUE! A MANDATORY NON PAID COURSE IN ETTIQUITE AND COURTESY WOULD BE A GOOD START.
