I am trying to find a peditrician that is affliated with Centra State Hospital in Freehold that is good right when the baby is born. Any recommendatins are great. I can always change after I get out of the hospital, I looked up the drs. at the hospital and wasn't really thrilled. TIA
I delivered at Centrastate and my son was seen by the on-staff pediatrician...I really liked Mid Jersey Pediatrics (morganville/east brunswick) ~we took my son at 3 days old there...
I delivered both of my girls at Centra State. I tried to find a pediatrician I loved that was affiliated with Centra State and also convenient to our home (Marlboro), but I couldn't. I personally think it's way more important to love your pediatrician after you leave the hospital than for just the 3 or 5 days you're in the hospital, but that's just me. And, it's a pain in the butt to transfer all of your records once you're with a practice.
We use Dr. Lieb at Union Hill Pediatrics in Manalapan. I've also heard a ton of great things about Mid Jersey Pediatrics.
If we were going to use a pediatrician associated with Centra State, it was going to be Dr. La Mantia from Allergy & Pediatric Associates in Freehold.

Hi - I'm new to this board but I delivered my son at Centra State last June and his pediatrician is fabulous! She was not his pediatrician in the hospital (he came a month early a couple days after our move to the area) but we saw her shortly after we brought him home. Her name is Dr. Vatsala Bhaskar and I really can't recommended her enough. Her office in in N. Howell right now but I think they are moving closer to the hospital soon. Let me know if you want her contact information. Good Luck!
