DO NOT GO TO THIS PRACTICE! 

I am now 11 weeks into my first pregnancy and had an awful experience with this office. First, my doctor, Dr. Cherian - she hardly spent any time with me during my first visit so I never got to go through my list of questions. She called me a week later to tell me that my thyroid levels came back extremely high and called in a prescription for Synthroid. After looking into it, I learned Synthroid is used to treat hypothyroidism - not hyperthyroidism. I called the office and a nurse said she would relay the message to her. I then got 2 voicemails from her essentially saying I was going to miscarry if I didn't get on the medication right away. When I called her back and called her out on the wrong medication, she blew over it saying she called the right one in. When I went to pick it up she had only called it in that day after our phone call. The last thing I need is to be my own doctor.

Next, the office management. I obviously wanted to switch doctors and tried diligently to get my records faxed over. After a week and many frustrating phone calls I had to investigate through my insurance who the lab was and call them directly to get my report.  In looking into my insurance I realized they used an out of network lab so I'm now having to deal with rectifying that issue. 

If you are looking for a stress free experience with you pregnancy, definitely look elsewhere. I've been working with Dr. Winsome Parchment and have really loved her so far.

    Is this Dr. in Women's Healthcare in Newton/Vernon NJ? If so I go to the same practice and am not too happy. I am hyperthyroid too but they gave me a referral to an endocrinologist, I don't think it's their specialty to prescribe you thyroid meds, that's crazy

    All the nurses and technicians there are great and I've heard other doctors there are better but my luck when I go into labor it would be her at the other end, even if I switched to someone else in the practice.
