ADVOCARE TOTAL CARE PEDIATRICS 377 Jersey Avenue, Jersey City, NJ 07302

"doctors r ok. but the front desk might be the worst experience ever. 2 years ago we took our new born to this place only because we live close by. we've only been there once, and never went back. we paid our only visit with cash, but we keep getting bills for all kinds of scheduled vaccines our baby never took. we told them we won't come back any more but looks like they kept charging cost. this is ridiculous. they still keep sending the bill to us even now, and no way to dispute."

"Stay away from the Dr Vanessa Barboza if you are a Diabetic! She will tell you herself how accomplished she is, how she helped write studies, and how she knows it all, and that you haven't been doing anything right (6.9 to 7.1 A1C by the way!). Long story short... I got an appointment with her thorough a rep of a pump company. I was nearly OUT of insulin so she gave me a free trial of Fiasp. After I explained I wanted to try a different pump she said it wouldn't work for me. When she wrote my Rx, she gave me HALF the quantity for my 3 month supply as I'm used to. She suggested I try a different diet and refused to update the RX. I'm super skinny already and can not afford to eat less! It was sent into my provider and I was unable to change that quantity. I called over and over trying to get her on the phone but they only let me play phone tag between myself, the front desk , and Barboza. So I showed up at the office! I was told she left left the office early. Right... Shorty after I got a letter she dropped me as a patient. I visited her at both her offices during this time."

"Have been going here since my child's birth. Have never been disappointed. They consider and squeeze you in in case you need an urgent appointment. I get the help as and when needed. They talk patiently on call and explain and suggest alternatives to get my request addressed. And the doctors are the best! Won't change doctors as long as I an in NJ"

"I agree with other reviews here that lady at the front desk is very unprofessional. We have to leave this practice even without visiting as the lady was very rude. Our child was sick and was seeking for an appointment and the lady spoke in a very harsh manner and asked to go to emergency."

"The doctors are great, but the lady at the front desk is very rude. I always see her yelling at parents or trying to start arguments. She really needs to find another job where children are not involved."
