Appalling!! This was the most unprofessional experience I have ever encountered with a receptionist. I called the office to get some more info on what the doctor does since she practices functional medicine. The receptionist Denise did not answer any of my questions and kept repeating the same "you can find all the information on the website" message. I was calling for her functional medicine services which is not covered by insurance. So I paying out of pocket and you she did not know anything about the services? I asked to speak with the office manager for more information and she then told me she was the office manager. i told her I was surprised by her poor representation then she HUNG UP ON ME!! This doctor invested so much money on her website but invests nothing her staff. Little does she know that its her front desk that makes the first impression not the site-you cant have one without the other. Too bad! In my opinion this doctor does not seem to care about her practice or she would never have someone like that answering her phones.

Dr. Chiara is the best!! I love that she offers both primary care and functional medicine, and its always easy to get an appointment with her. She is responsive, personable, well informed, and up to date on the latest in both Eastern and Western medicine. She takes a functional / holistic approach to treating her patients, which is exactly what I was looking for when deciding on my PCP. She is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. I have been seeing her for a few years now, and I am so grateful that I found her - she truly cares about her patients. If you are looking for a doctor, I highly highly recommend Dr. C!

Smart, Knowledgeable & Pleasant. This doctor is the best I've met she was extremely knowledgeable. I have not been able to loose weight since I had my child 6years ago. She was able to diagnose and point me in the right direction. I have a metabolic syndrome and a insulin resistance. with proper diet and medication I will be able to be healed. I have been to doctor after doctor they all said go to the gym work out and watch what you eat. I am thankful she was able to see beyond. I highly recommend her!

This is a review for Gerard Chiara, Bianca's father. He is terrible! Don't waste your time. Went there a few times because he was the only one in Hoboken that covered my insurance. Nothing was accomplished. I just needed an adjustment. He actually sent me to get my spine and neck ex-rayed. I was exposed to unnecessary radiation. Shouldn't have done it. Nothing came up. He never adjusted me. Do NOT get this man confused with Bianca Chiara, his daughter. Completely separate practices. Don't waste your time with this guy.

I'm honestly surprised anyone gave this "doctor" so much as 2 stars. I use quotes around "doctor" because I believe a doctor is someone we go to to help us. In my case about 4 years ago, my experience with Bianca Chiara was that she didn't care one bit for me as a person, let alone a patient. I had to wait forever to be seen for my first appointment. Eventually Dr. Chiara came to the reception area and she and the receptionist proceeded to chit chat and laugh about something on Facebook. Turns out Dr. Chiara was showing the receptionist someone's profile and they were poking fun. Not a good sign. My follow up appointment was a joke. I had to suggest that the doctor take my blood pressure again and weigh me to see how I was progressing. Needless to say I did not go back. So why am I writing this review now? Because a friend of mine just went to see this doctor today and instead of helping my friend feel better, Dr. Chiara berated her and made her cry. WTF? Who does that? To anyone, ESPECIALLY a patient?

Cannabis or marijuana dispensariers started in the US some time in the early 1990’s when Dennis Peron opend the San Francisro Cannbis Buyers Club. Back then the cannabis dispensary faced a ton of hardships, but Dennis, his team and dream helped pave the future for all future recreational and medical cannabis dispensaries. In 2014 the first recreational dispensary, 3D Cannabis opened it’s doors in Colorado. As of 4-1-19 33 states have medical dispensaries and 10 states have recreational dispensaries.
