Our Family — Together with the Staff at Consensus Health Primary Care Med-Care — is Committed to Providing Your Family with Exceptional Health Care
Beginning with Dr. PJ Scolamiero in 1944, our family has provided patients in New Jersey with the highest quality medical care. Consensus Health Primary Care Med-Care, founded in 1987 as Med-Care by Dr. John C. Scolamiero, sought to continue this family legacy. Together — initially with his brother Dr. Amedeo J. Scolamiero and their nephews Dr. Christopher R. D’Andrea and Dr. John L. D’Andrea — Med-Care still remains a family focused practice providing comprehensive medical care in northern New Jersey and a leading center of healthcare excellence for more than thirty years.
Our Dedication to Personalized Care Remains Stronger than Ever
In fact, our decision to join Consensus Health was driven by our commitment to provide an even better experience for you and your family.
