North Jersey Surgical Group: Arago Angelito O MD

Oh my goodness where do I begin? My dad was admitted to the ER with intestinal blockage. He was operated by this "Doctor" ... After a few days they ordered a CAT scan because there was fluid in his abdominal cavity. Tubes were inserted to drain this fluid. A couple days later it was removed ... But fluid continued to leak out of this hole... Dr Arago never removed the more than 30 staples he placed after the surgery. (Over a month). The site was infected and even developed MRSA.. After all this. (It's been over a year) it's still not healed and he is still leaking fluid ... We went a few times for follow ups and he still has the same answer. Wait 6 more months... That's always the answer. My dad even has a mass that developed and dr Arago couldn't care less, he is only interested in his words "getting paid for my work"....his receptionist is a nasty piece of work... She is a straight up b**ch... Avoid this place at all costs. That man should have his medical license revoked. Incompetent is the best word to describe him and his staff!

I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING THIS DOCTOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AT THE HOSPITAL. I WAS ADMITTED THROUGH THE ER FOR PAIN DUE TO A GALLSTONE. THEY ADMITTED ME BECAUSE THIS WONDERFUL DOCTOR FELT THAT BEST AND ONLY OPTION FOR ME IS SURGERY. HE BASCIALLY TOLD ME THAT MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO REMOVE THE ORGAN AND THAT WOULD SOLVE ALL OF MY ISSUES. WHEN I ADVISED HIM THAT I WANTED TO EXPLORE OTHER OPTIONS HE MADE IT SEEM AS IF THERE ARE NO OTHER ALTERNATIVES THAT EXIST IN TREATMENT OF A GALLSTONE. I ULTIMATELY TOLD HIM THAT I DID NOT WANT THE SURGERY AND HE WAS NOT PLEASED WITH THIS AT ALL. HE HAD SEVERAL STAFF COME AND TRY TO TALK ME OUT OF IT AND WHEN HE REALIZED THAT I WASN'T INTERESTED IN CHANGING MIND HE HAD ME SIGN AN AMA OUT OF THE HOSPITAL WITHOUT EXPLAINING THE FORM TO ME OR ANYTHING ELSE. HE BASICALLY ME BOOTED OUT THE HOSPITAL WITH NO ADVISEMENT. SAFE TO SAY THIS MAN WAS MORE CONCERNED WITH CUTTING ME AND GETTING PAID FOR IT THEN MY HEALTH AND THE BEST OPTIONS FOR ME. AND ITS WONDERFUL TO KNOW THAT HE WAS GOING TO DO ALL OF THIS WITHOUT CONSULTING WITH MY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN. SO IF YOU WANT A DOCTOR WHO IS WILLING TO CUT YOU WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED, HE IS THE MAN FOR YOU!!
