Jonathan E. O'Brien, M.D. | New Jersey Perinatal Associates Livingston

"I visited NJ Perinatal for an early anatomy scan for my first pregnancy in April 2021. I thought I would receive the same compassionate care I received in a prior appointment but the doctor I had that day was unsympathetic Dr. O'Brien. My appointment was a late Friday afternoon appointment - and unsympathetic Dr. O'Brien treated it like a late Friday afternoon appointment. He rudely told me and my husband that our first pregnancy was not viable for life outside of the womb. And he was in such a hurry to leave that he never informed the obgyn assigned to me this information. (The obgyn office is next door to NJ Perinatal too.) The midwife from the obgyn office called me two weeks after losing my baby inquiring how my pregnancy was going. I understand that we typically cannot control what happens if we lose a pregnancy, but we CAN control the doctors we have. And if you are given an appointment with the unsympathetic Dr. O'Brien, reschedule for another doctor. It'll save you emotional trauma."
