Women First Health Center

Best practice. Caring doctors. Took great care of us during all my pregnancies.

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!

Women First Health Center is by far the best obgyn in New Jersey

I generally am pleased with my experience here! I found that doctors Sansobrino and Sylvester were the ones that took their time and answered all my questions in a calm and relaxed manner- as a first time expecting mom i had a lot of them! I liked that this office had an 80% natural delivery rate, as compared to almost 50% at other places! It was relatively easy to get appointments even at short notice. The waiting time in the office was seldom more than 5 minutes to get called in and not much more in the exam room either. The reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is that I did not like Dr Youngren and Dr Lo at all! I felt like they both rushed through the session and got irritated when I asked them for more information or to repeat something already mentioned. All in all a great place if you go to Dr Sansobrino or Dr Sylvester!

I picked this clinic only because it accepted my insurance & I feel like I really lucked out. I had gone to a couple of other OB/GYNs & I was less than impressed. This facility is not fancy, but I think the doctors are great. They are all very laid back and I don't think they are prone to overreacting. My primary OB/GYN is Dr. Youngren & I think she is great.
