Thomas Francis is Very disrespectful, arrogant, condescending, full of himself. Unfortunately not surprised now that he's with RWBarnabas Health, since RWBH took over this office, it has been horrible. They had a previous doctor, I think Romano after the retirement of Dr Cardiello, that was as bad or worse than Francis. During my visit, another patient was very upset and disillusioned with Thomas Francis attitude.As a precious reviewer stated back in 2018 'please stay away from this Doctor. They need to cancel his licenses. He doesn't deserve to have a office or be a doctor. I wouldn't even recommend this doctor to my worst enemy.'

Dr Frances was excellent and very articulate when it came to my health issues. He was easy to talk to and I understood why his suggestions would be very beneficial to my health conditions due to his explanations.
