I would not see any other Psychiatrist ever. He can spend as little as 5 minutes and pick up what other doctors would take 5 visits to learn or understand about their patient. Making him able to help more efficiently and effectively. Very grateful.

Dr. Matthew Pitera and Mary have been very helpful and supportive for me during some of the most tragic, and difficult times of my life. Both Mary and Dr. Pitera have always been available and accommodating to me during the unexpected passing of my father. Dr. Pitera has to be one of the best psychiatrists in Central Jersey. He always wants you to be on the least amount of medicine. Very knowledgeable, great listener, I feel he is easy to open up to about all my situations.

Dr. Pitera is a caring, compassionate and the most understanding Dr ever. The reviews on his wife are nothing short of biased and defamatory! When Dr. Pitera is not available, she most certainly is... She has helped me implicitly, but I also talk 2 her with the respect she deserves!!!! She handles everything in that office Alone and can't, nor should she tolerate blatant disrespect because she can't fulfill your wishes and demands. Thank you always Dr. Pitera and Mary.

Dr. Pitera needs to be more knowledgeable re: new medications and making suggestions. I liked him but he just kept prescribing the same medications. His wife/office manager Mary is rude, hostile, and inattentive. I had a hard time getting invoices to submit to my insurance company so I could receive reimbursement. Emails, messages left on the office answering machine, and messages left with answering service go unanswered. It took two months to make my first appointment for 2023. Then Mary notified me I had to pay in cash. O... read more

I have however either their health insurance didn’t cover him and or vice versa. I have been treating with Dr. Pitera for at least 15- years now and let me first state an important message- Doctor Pitera is the only psychiatrist to ever give me the correct diagnosis and medication!!! I had gone to a few psychiatrists before whom gave me the wrong medicine and wrong diagnosis so I thank God that he lead me to this wonderful man and doctor. The office is run by him and his funny welcoming compassionate wife Mary- there are not... read more

My star rating is -1 (below 0). After being a patient for 20+ years, Mary, his second wife refused to renew my prescriptions and expelled me from the practice without notification.

Terrible. The office manager Mary is a disgrace to the practice. It is almost impossible to get her on the phone. She should be fired ASAP if this business wants to be successful.

Never been treated so poorly in my life. The receptionist/office manager was beyond rude and unhelpful. She was disgustingly disrespectful, yelling, even screaming shut up as I try to voice my concerns. Never once did any of my NUMEROUS phone calls get returned. And when I would call back over and over desperately trying to get help for my son she was annoyed and showed zero compassion or understanding. The way she treated myself and my husband was an absolute disgrace and should not be tolerated. She has no right or busines... read more

Horrible experience with office manager. HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT. do not recommend bringing your children here. Beyond disrespectful and an absolute disgrace the way the receptionist/manager handles herself. No common decency or courtesy. I’m horrified.
