The Women's Health Center At Newark

"I found the staff to be cold and very unfriendly. Dr. Alex has no bedside manner and was very clinical and dismissive. The only friendly face is the receptionist. I. Had a very painful biopsy done and I cried out and received no comfort. I asked my Primary DR about doing my paps because I won’t go back there ever again!"

"Patient of 25 years now..The wait time on the phone & once you're there is ridiculous, I have left twice now due to waiting an hour & a half + with NO communication to me from the staff, even when I repeatedly asked BC I had to be at work. Disappointing. Dr sharma is very knowledgeable, however, she is ALWAYS in such a rush (bc they are ALWAYS so behind), that every time I have seen her, I have left with even more questions than when I went in. She literally comes in, washes her hands, VERY quickly measures & checks heartbeat, washes her hands again & says " okay, see you next time." Always with a smile, always with no info or questions asked. Dr Alex has a very short & "rough around the edges" manner (not much bedside manner at all). Emily debadts has left me feeling judged on 3 occasions, not awesome when you're needing support. Their saving grace is Naomi, she should start her own practice :)."

"I gave 5 stars but really I wish I could do 25 because they were that fantastic ! I was absolutely soooo nervous before my appointment, mainly because of my past experience with my last OB... From the moment I walked into the door the staff was unbelievably comforting! Margaret, Jen and the doctor Emily were so sweet and calmed my nerves instantly. Since going to OBGYN since I was 15 I have never felt comfortable up until now and it was all because of the wonderful staff!!! A special thanks to the ladies for taking such great care of me and fanning me until I felt better! :)"

"Very frustrating dealing with the call center to make an appointment. The nurse practitioner that I see, Kay Hausman is fantastic! If I could use her for everything I would. Two years ago when I called to make an appointment they told me she was no longer seeing patients. Since I never received anything in the mail I emailed her. That was not true and she saw me for my annual exam. I just called two weeks ago to make my annual appointment and was told to call back in September because her October schedule was not open. I called today and they tell me (again) she is not seeing patients. The girl on the phone told me that she is "out". When I asked if she was returning and what that meant for her patients she didn't know. I work in Cardiology and I know the front desk doesn't always have the answers however, if your physician is no longer going to be seeing patients, retiring, moving to administration etc you need to let your patients know."

"I'd give no stars if I could. The women working here are completely unprofessional. I opted out of some elective blood work and I could hear the staff talking about me and several other patients while I was waiting to see the doctor. They were saying how they induced a patient because they couldn't stand to listen to her anymore. Then they said how I'll be "sue happy" when my baby dies. SO unprofessional and utterly mortifying. They treat me like I'm less than. Could not be more disappointed with the lack of empathy or basic humanity from the staff of this office."
