Insensitive, unprofessional, money greedy office. I switched after my 2nd visit. I would never recommend this office to anyone. Don't waste your time.

I am so grateful for Women's First Health Center! I had my first two pregnancy visits with a different OBGYN group - but had such a terrible experience that I switched over to WFHC at my 11-12 week mark. I am so happy I did. Here's some reasons why I give them 5 stars... 1) I never waited longer than 5 minutes to be seen at their office in West Orange. They were always on schedule. 2) Late appt times and Early appt times available. I work full time and the flexibility in appointment times was crucial. 3) While pregnant I used the WFHC emergency line (I had food poisoning while pregnant) and nursing message line - everytime I receiving a timely and helpful response from the MDs or RNs. 4) They supported our desire for a natural birthing plan. 5) They never incited worry/fear about my pregnancy (the OBGYN that I went to for my first two visits DID create alot of fear and concern during the first two visits - it was terrible). Yes it was a normal pregnancy, but never did I leave there offices concerned about how I was doing or the baby. 6) They took the time to answer all my questions at each visit. During the labor and delivery process: 1) The St. Barnabas OBGYN residents were very eager to treat me ASAP with multiple interventions/medications right as I walked in the door. I could feel their "must do something" eagerness. It overwhelmed my husband and I - and it felt as though our birthing plan was being thrown out the window. But Dr. Lo and Dr. Sylvester calmed us both and talked us thru the process, which included our birthing plan and input. They offered us several options for treatment (induction methods, as my water broke at home and I needed to deliver within a specific time frame to reduce the chance of infection). It allowed us to feel empowered in the decision making process. 2) Dr. Sylvester was the delivering MD for us, she was wonderful! Calming, positive, kind, knowledgable - my husband and I agree that she was the best staff we encountered during the entire birthing experience/hospital stay (considering MDs, residents and RNs). 3) Although the labor and delivery did not go exactly how we had planned - it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend this practice to others! And if we have another child in the future - I will hope and pray to have Dr. Sylvester with us again in the delivery room! (although I bet the others MDs are just as good - we just had such a great experience with her)

Kind of late in writing the review but my second pregnancy and the birth of my second child has brought back the most painful memories that I experienced with the insensitive doctor's at women's first health care... my due date was 30th March but in their files it was 4th April which I was unaware of earlier... during the last two weeks going by the due date in their files everything seemed fine to them ... but when I corrected them of the due date , all of a sudden thought of induction came to their mind and Dr Sonia asked us to schedule for an induction before 41 weeks ... first time pregnant and not researching much on induction and trusting my doctor's completely I agreed to it ... just on the day of induction I received a call saying it has to be postponed by four days and reason was doctor is not available ( I guess it would have been hard for them to justify my induction before 41 weeks) .... everything was fine with me and my baby and I should have been given the chance to go till 42 weeks and experience the natural contractions... I wanted not to show up but my family members trust doctor's words more than the reality ... I showed up on Sunday night and was induced and in the morning when the balloon fell off and I was dialeted by 5 cms And was given pitocin ... one of the residents persuaded me to take the epidural with the pitocin saying that with pitocin the contractions would be unbearable... so I should be taking epidural and it would help me save my energy to push the baby out later as for them it seemed my labor would be prolonged ... again not being in the right state of mind I was saying yes to everything that they asked me to do ... because the epidural was taken very early on even without feeling the contractions my dilation was halted .. 7-8 hrs passed by and no dilation and one of the nurses came in and asked my pain level and I said it's bearable but she asked me 10 times to get another anaesthesia as it will save my energy to push ... after being told 10 times I beloved her and took it and had chill running my body immediately and I started gagging and had an infection which was transmitted to my baby and they had to do the c section...c section was performed by one of the most unprofessional doctor's in their group Dr Vivian ... she did the c section like an immature and stitched it like a child draws a straight line ... and the scar was inch long ... I realized this that the c section done by Dr Vivian was not right after seeing the stitches of rge csection this time ... this facility is quite corrupt when one goes over due ... they try to push the mothers to go for c sections

These guys are awesome- each one of them. I used to be a rep for obgyn's and out of all the offices I called on I chose this one to attend myself. They are all so caring and knowledgable. Truly wonderful people and Doctors!

Really dislike this practice. I was always seen by a different doctor despite being an established patient for a couple years. I felt like I was being tossed around every time I was there, with each new doctor caring less than the previous one about my health. I had a terrible experience there when I was 19 years old. I was there to confirm a possible pregnancy after taking home tests with different results. I was extremely nervous, and to make matters worse the staff treated me like garbage. The woman working at the desk scolded me for signing in on the wrong sheet by mistake, and then pretty much ripped my insurance card out of my hand. She then demanded (loudly) in front of the entire waiting room to know why I was there, and when I responded that the reason for my visit was to see if I was pregnant, she asked me IF I WAS PLANNING ON "KEEPING IT"! I was so humiliated because the entire waiting room could hear and she gave me the dirtiest and most judgmental look I have ever seen. I felt so violated! After my extremely upsetting encounter with the desk staff, the doctor came into the room, barely looked me in the eye during the appointment, and called me the wrong name the entire time even though it was right on the chart. They gave me some forms for blood work and quickly sent me on my way. Couldn't even be bothered to listen to my worries and concerns. I left in tears and have not been back since. I would expect this treatment from a free clinic, not from a respected practice who claims to care about women, especially when I was a patient for a few years. I may have been young when this happened, but I was old enough to know I did not deserve to be treated this way. Take your money (and dignity!) and go somewhere else!
