Hi everybody, Just wondering,my 92 yr. old mom wanted to know if Dr. Ciccone is still alive. I have my doubts, since he seemed pretty old (at least to me)when we lived in Newark. Does anyone know if he is alive or has he gone to that great big hospital in the sky? I tried to find out by putting his name into the search category thing and came up with an Edwin Ciccone, but he was way too young.Maybe he has a grandson who became a doctor. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks. I know someone will have an answer for me.
Barbara, I just spoke with my aunt Marilyn and she remembers Dr. Ciccone.She doesn't think he is still alive but tells me that there are three Dr. Ciccone's still in the area. One is an internist with the Silver Lake Medical group in Belleville, one is a urologist, also in belleville and the third one is a cardiologist with a group in Livingston.The cardiologist also happens to be my sister Jeanne's doctor so I'll try to get some more information from her. Stay tuned for further info.
My daughter happened to see this message.Dr Ciccone was my father.We lived on Roseville & Park Aves in Newark. My daughter was born the day after my dad was buried(Feb 14,1982)We still miss him.One of the MD's you alluded to,Pat Ciccone ,the urologist,is my first cousin(my dad's brother's son.)I don't know the other two MD's,although my cousin's son also became a urologist & practices in North Jersy.I also am a physician(specializing in Psychiatry & psychopharmacology) and live in PA.How do you know my dad? Let me know! Pat Ciccone(Little PAT)
:::: He was our family doctor when I was a kid growing up. I can remember the waiting room very clearly. He was responsible for diagnosing my back pain as a kidney stone and sent me to another doctor, who shall go nameless. This led to my first surgery at 11 years old, and in those days this was a serious operation. Because of that experience, which I went through several times in the next 10 years, I have never been afraid of doctors, hospitals, or any medical procedure.

I had an Algebra teacher at Seton Hall Prep, Mr. Ciccone. I can't remember his first name, I think it was Ralph. He had a brother who was a Doctor in Newark. Any relation?
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back on, computer glitch. Anyway, your dad, Dr. Eddie(as my parents called him)Ciccone, was our family doctor for as long as I can remember. If I'm not mistaken, He was responsible for diagnosing my brother Ronnie with kidney disease, at the age of 22,
while Ronnie was on the NFD. He subsequently passed away, before his 24th Bday, but Dr. Ciccone was a big part of our family. As a very young child, maybe 6-7 yrs. old your father made house calls to our house for my brother and I who were sick at the same time. I remember going to his office, by bus, to have my ribs taped by him. It was summer, and I really didn't appreciate it but apparently, it had to be done. I'm sure alot of people here on this site had similiar experiences with your dad. At least now, with my mom being 92 and losing her memory, one person she does remember is Eddie Ciccone. I can now fill her in with his passing and also that his own son went on to become a doctor.Thanks for responding. I appreciate it.Your dad's legacy will live on thru this site.
Dr. Ciccone was the Newark Fire Department Surgeon. My father Patrick F. Daly and the doctor were good friends.We all went to him for treatment. My brother Ed spent more time on the porch than the rest of the family, because he was a little sweet on Dr. Little Pat's sister. My father and the doctor were such good friends that when my father passed away in 1967 our family presented Dr. Ciccone with a new white fire helment for all his efforts for my father.
Hey Jim,
All is good we have just come back from visiting junior in England.He has been over there for 19 years now.His Job?He is the John Warchol of Oxford.
Our family doctor made house calls. His name was Robino (?). His office was on Roseville Ave. His office was on the bottom floor of his home. There were no appointments, you just went and sat. Of course, you did not wait as long as you do with a set appointment today. I do not believe he had children. He use to bring his dog on house calls. I remember him bring the dog into the house. I remember my mother telling him that when she spoke to me that I was not paying attention. He sat me in a chair, had to look straight ahead. He took out his pocket watch. I was to let him know when I heard the watch. When he finished, he told mother that I was having hearing problems with my left ear. I was then sent to another doctor. I had scarlet fever when I was 5 yrs old. I had nerve damage. As the years have gone I have lost all my hearing in my left ear. But I trained myself to hear out of the right side. My husband always claimed that I could head everyting :.) Eileen '51
My family doctor was Doctor Berger from Roseville Ave.- He had an office in his home plus house calls and delivered babies at home- another service of our past.
I had the Hong Kong flu in 1967ish or so- I still remember it. My eyeballs hurt- the aches and pain... my mom stayed up with me all night for a solid week- and Doc Berger came every day to check up on me...
I can not imagine my current internist even entertaining the thought!
Dr Rubino was our family dr. He lived and had his practice in a lovely victorian home with a wrap around porch. (It instilled in me a love of victorian homes) When you visited his waiting room always smelled a bit like medicine. His inner office connected to his kitchen and sometimes his wife Marie would be in there fixing lunch or dinner. He visited my grandmother in the late 50's when she was quite ill and saw my mom through 4 pregnancies. He was a one stop shop kind of doctor. She always sang his praises because of his common sense approach to medicine. When she was having her kids she was always sick as a dog all through pregnancy. The anti-nausea med which later caused DES was all the rage but he insisted on crackers and ginger ale. He lectured women to quite smoking while pregnant all before it became known how very much is transmitted to your baby. He saw my family through some tough times. It was a sad day when he retired for my family. He died in the early 70's I believe of cancer.
