I am looking for a new OB/GYN (long story - the one I used last time is not panning out this time for various reasons). I am hoping to find one who delivers at HUMC where I had my first LO. I have narrowed it down to 4 so far:
- Yasmina M.T. Ephrem
- Nicola Adalia Pemberton
- Raya O. Alnuaimi
- Niketa V. Govindani
Does anyone have any first or second-hand experience with any of these ladies? It's hard to pic a new doc from a list of ones who just happen to be approved by your health insurance company ![]()
TIA!!!
Re: Looking for a new OB/GYN in Passaic or Bergen Co.
This was my project all week because I really didn't like my OB at Hackensack. I decided to move to a practice that delivers at Englewood instead of HUMC. I am seeing Markovitz, Gross and Martinucci. I met with Markovitz yesterday and LOVED him. The office staff was super nice too.
Thanks. Glad you found someone. I actually had messaged you directly about who NOT to use at HUMC. Hope that was at least helpful for you.
I have set up an OB interview appts with 2 of the 4 above. One of the others had pretty negative reviews online and the other apparently moved her practice to Brooklyn...
You did?? I don't even know how to check messages! Thanks.
Where are you located? I'm in North Bergen on River Rd. (on the water). It's so stressful looking for a doctor. Good luck!
im at the same practice. They delivered my first two and will deliver my third. Dr. Martinucci is a friend of mine since grade school.
So glad to hear that!!! I am meeting Dr. Gross tomorrow. I haven't met Martinucci yet. How did you like Englewood Hospital? Did you have a private room?
i liked englewood hospital, my one complaint is that they don't have private rooms once you moved to mother baby unit. Unless they changed it since 2010. However, both times I delivered, I had mentioned that I would pay extra for the private room if needed and I never shared my room.
They have a menu for dh. I never had any complaints.
I hope it changed or I don't get a roommate. The website says:
Separate Mother-Baby Unit with private rooms that promote family bonding
