I love my Vanguard group. The doctors and especially the physician assistants, and staff have cared for me and my family for over 20 years. Margaret Kelly, PA is the BEST.
Fast appointment, nurses and doctors acted very professionally.
The doctors and support staff at Vanguard Medical have, in my experience, put the patient first. They always manage to make time to see a patient the same day. And they are professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I have been going to …
Vanguard has been my medical group for years. I find the office staff to be friendly and competent and my doctor, Dr. Smith, to be exceptional. She is very knowledgeable, compassionate, and easy to talk to.
My experience with Vanguard extends back years when my then physician retired. He recommended a doctor who became a founding member of Vanguard. I’m 77 now and never regretted the decision. Vanguard is thoroughly professional in every way.
Doctor Douge is excellent. She listens and she is thorough. However, if I don’t see her there is always a billing problem. Dr Stephanie Smith and some of the other doctors are money hungry and over-bill or ask for tests that are not …
I have been going to Vanguard for some years. I have experienced nothing but kindness, care and courtesy. Very professional environment. I have referred many people. Thank you all for your Service.
We are very pleased with doctor Douge . She cares and has so much patience taking time with my husband . She is very through .
I have been a patient here for many years. In past years they were a good practice but in the past five or so years they have really gone downhill. The reason for my one star review is that I made an appointment to be seen today for a cough …
Dr. Robert Gorman, a doctor at Vanguard Med Group, is the best doctor I’ve ever had. He treats me with respect and compassion every time I see him. He’s calm, thorough and never dismisses anything I say. I truly feel like a partner in my health care.
A kind, professional, caring medical group who takes the time to listen. I’ve been a patient for quite some time and have never experienced a wait and/or physician unavailability. A clean, organized, well staffed group with many years of knowledge and experience. They are a wonderful group and I highly reccomend their services.
I have been a patient for over 25 years watching the practice evolve from the original 2 doctors to the outstanding state of the art full service facility. Every doctor and staff member is focused, caring and extremely qualified. They really care and it is evident. It comes from the top Dr Tom McCarrick and Dr Gorman !
I had the second part of my annual physical today. I had another positive experience with Vanguard and Dr. Gorman. I feel I can talk with Dr. Gorman about anything related to my health issues. Dr. Gorman listens and I respect his medical …
Happy to say that no matter what is going on, Vanguard is always a pleasure to go to. They’re courteous, and it’s so convenient to have bloodwork done onsite as well as women wellness visits. The office is always clean. They’re excellent …
I went for an annual check up and it was efficient and easy. I didn’t wait for more than 5 minutes. Everyone I saw was nice and not rushed. They went through all my bloodwork and paperwork with me. Overall it was a very pleasant experience!
I’ve only seen Dr Mascato here at Vangaurd Medical- I feel she is the best Dr I ever had! She is caring, takes time to listen, takes time to figure out what’s going on/what the problem is. The nurses, receptionists everyone I ever met there have been very kind, nice, considerate. I highly recommend this practice.
Friendly competent staff in a clean environment. Dr. Kim is and has always been someone you can trust and feel comfortable with.
Caring, compassionate, kind. Dr. Gorman is very professional and thorough. Since moving to Verona 10 years ago I have been fortunate to have him as my primary. The staff are all caring people who are efficient and top of their game. No …
The facility followed CDC guidelines at all levels . I felt very comfortable. They ran on time and the office personnel were very warm and friendly . I saw Dr. Michelle Moscato and she was excellent as always . I am always at ease when she is in the room. I can’t say enough about her .
I am not familiar with any of the other doctors at Vanguard Medical Group except for Dr. Moscato. She is such an amazing doctor and human. She genuinely cares about her patients and goes above and beyond to provide optimal care that improve overall quality of life. I will follow Dr. Moscato to any medical group she joins.
I’ve been going to Vanguard Medical Group in Verona for several years now and have had nothing but good experiences. From the booking of appointments to the doctors and PAs, and the lab technicians, everyone is courteous and efficient. I am so glad to have an excellent clinic near my house.
This is such a well run office and everyone is helpful and competent. Dr. McCarrick is a wonderful doctor who focuses on the patient and shows genuine interest and concern. It’s easy to get appointments and the extended hours in the evening and on Saturdays mean you don’t have to take time off from your job.
Had no wait for my appointment. On time and efficient. Thank You!

Dr. Julie Matthews has been my longtime physician and she is incredible. The staff is friendly and professional. I will continue to visit these offices and recommend to friends.
Vanguard Medical offers quality care. I have been going here for most of my adult life. The doctors know how to care for their patients. The rest of the staff is very professional and friendly. It’s a great practice.
I have been a patient for only 1 year BUT everyone in the practice genuinely care it’s refreshing. I am currently very sick and my dr has checked up on me 3 separate times— I’m so grateful for that, most Drs wouldn’t care but she does. Dr Kelly has been a godsend to me.
As usual vanguard was great! They gave me an appointment on short notice. The PA was lovely Christine. I did miss my own Dr Mazzella though. The certified medical assistant was so nice and friendly. Great place.
Dr Moscato is probably one of the BEST doctors I have ever encountered! She truly cares about the patient and is a highly intelligent, knowledgeable and thorough with helping her patients get better! I can’t say enough positive things about her!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Smith at Vanguard for a couple of years. She is very kind and really takes the time to listen. It’s also very convenient that they are able to do the lab work right on site so there is no need for multiple appointments.
All the staff I dealt with was professional and personable. The tech who took my blood work was once again virtually painless.
Dr. Carmine Mazzella is with out a doubt in my mind the absolute best Dr , if not for Dr Mazzella I probably wouldn’t be here . 2years a go I had quadruple bypass, after he urged my to get a colonoscopy, they found 12 polyps on the verge of …
Dr. Smith is the absolute best doctor I have ever had. She takes the time to really listen to you. If you are looking for a a new primary care physician, see Dr. Smith!!
Dr. Moscato was compassionate, knowledgeable and took her time to answer ALL of my questions. As someone who normally gets anxiety when going to the doctor, it’s a huge relief to find an office where I feel comfortable, cared for and like I’m in good hands.

Wonderful practice! Wait times are never too long. I’ve have two physicians since I started coming to Vanguard; Dr Ciurello and now Dr Kim. Both have been terrific. Dr Kim took the time to explain everything to me and more important, listen to me. My entire family comes here.
I was very pleased with the simplicity of drive-thru service for the purpose of receiving a flu shot. With my roof down and driver window open, the nurse asked several pertinent questions and then easily administered the injection. The entire process was seamless.
I am always happy that Dr Stephanie Smith is my physician. She is a very smart, insightful and compassionate. She asks good questions and explains well. She listens carefully. I always feel well-cared-for. I have recommended her to many of my friends, and they are equally pleased with her.
6/3 I went for a physical and asked about being prescribed Prep. The physician asked me what it was which I explained. They then had to ask a colleague more information as theyd never heard of it. I gave the benefit of the doubt and let it …
Taken on time, staff was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly.

Thomas. McCarrick A great person and attentive physician. I feel lucky to have known him for 38 years .He has always been spot on with diagnostics and extremely helpful with good advice.
I’ve been going to VanGuard since 2002 the office is always clean. The doctors and staff are all very nice, but Lara Kothari, PA is and will always be my favorite !!
Dr and staff were very friendly. My mom doesn’t speak English and staff members were assisting her in translating until I got there. Very grateful to the staff members assisting her.
Kinda shady. First my appointment ended up not being with a doctor but with an assistant who ordered extra tests woot clarifying they were extra. I guess when you’re rich you don’t care about the patient’s concerns as much as making more $ from kickbacks.
Staff is extremely nice, informative, and helpful. Facility stays clean always and every time i visit. Definitely will recommend entire family to visit Vanguard Medical Group
Very nice experience. Sydney felt compassion and listened attentively. I felt very comfortable with her recommendation and will take her advice. I give her a 5.
