Otherwise no issues and the nurse staff are all friend and caring. I've had no issues with getting my IV inserted. They will usually put it in your hand which I like so you can move your arm freely. When you wake up from a procedure they will give you either graham crackers or Lorna Doone shortbread cookies and apple juice or water, your choice.

Also the front desk girl is completely miserable and must hate her job. She is not friendly at all! You guys need to tighten up your appointment wait times! Also having to wear a mask almost 4 years after the Covid BS is ridiculous. I'm not doing it, so if you want to cancel my appt go ahead, it's on you and I won't be paying the $200 cancellation fee since you want to mask people for no reason.

I was previously seeing a different Doctor nearby but after a few appointments of being treated…read moreterribly by the doctor, I decided to try Dr. Dhar. Wow! She is fantastic! She is so much more friendly and really takes the time to explain procedures and treatments. I actually look forward to our appointments- she's just a breath of fresh air compared to most doctors. Most importantly, her treatments WORK! I won't get into the details of what I was there for, but after years of simple prescriptions from other doctors without results, she was able to fix everything in just three visits. I also never had any of the appointment issues that others had- if I had a 3:45 appointment, I showed up at 3:40 and was called by 3:45. I very much recommend this office and more specifically, this doctor.

My appointment was set to 2PM and I left work so I specifically can get in and out. When I came…read morethere were FIVE people in front of me! when I asked the front desk why there is such disconnect with appointment times, the secretary started to scream at me that this is medical office, and I should be happy I'm seen. Disaster, such a mess. Too bad, because the doctor is nice.

I was taken to the cath lab where they discovered several blockages (50%, 70% and 99%). Ended up having a triple bypass. The second time they scanned me and found a 12 cm cancerous tumor on my liver. They took the entire left lobe. I am alive today after 2 close calls that could have turned out very differently if the folks at RWJ Hamilton hadn't taken the initiative to delve deeper. A special thanks to nurse Jennifer Wood who refused to let me go home to shower

This is the WORST hospital experience I have ever seen. My handicapped sister was admitted for…read moreSepsis. They kicked her out way too early, without finding out what the source of infection was. Long story short, she was admitted three times in 2 weeks because they kept letting her go too soon- despite our protests. Many things were overlooked and dismissed. During her 3rd stay, she was in the Telemetry unit and was going into Septic Shock. I recognized the symptoms and immediately asked for a doctor. A nurse practitioner was covering and NEVER responded over a period of 2-3 hours! I was persistent and was finally able to have her see the hospitalist, Dr. Taha, who, in my opinion, saved her life. He was great. If we had him from the start, all of this would not have happened. The "so called" Social Worker Jemma, was pushy and arrogant each time, not even caring about my sister or what she went through. It was all about the money with her! A few of the nurses were excellent- Erin on the 4th floor, and Denise, Rasha, Jayda, and Anthony in the Telemetry unit on the 3rd floor. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Your chances of being treated right and surviving the illness would be better.

Those of us who have lived long enough to arrive at the point where we have to submit to medical…read moretests that literally leave us with our pants down and our bottoms up, know the indignities and discomfort of that most anxiety provoking procedure - the colonoscopy. Little can be done to make the preparation and actual event more palatable, but at least it can be simplified and made more humane with understanding of the emotional aspects of the test, and the physical challenges associated with drinking copious amounts of vile tasting fluids, a mandatory clear liquid diet for 36 hours before the operation, and the totally unpleasant process of emptying the lower gastrointestinal tract. Ugh! Gastroenterology Group at St. Mary Medical Center does it as well as possible. They invite you to their office weeks in advance to review the process in detail. Many pages of easy to understand instructions are provided. They record insurance information, and even offer samples of the preparation meds if the patient lacks coverage for this cost. On the designated day, when the effect of starvation and voiding is at max effect, their staff is courteous and compassionate in getting the patient ready for general anesthesia and the procedure itself. Everyone was skilled, patient and trained in low key interaction. From getting into those damn surgical gowns, to setting the intravenous lines in the arm, to nestling the pillow comfortably under the head/neck as you fall asleep, to the gentle wake up back in your personal space with juice and crackers, the flow is smooth and relaxed. That Dr. Barash advised I would likely have to return in five years for another scope almost seemed an afterthought.

I have been a patient at Princeton Gastroenterology Associates for more than 20 years. As the last…read moreyear or two have been truly appalling as far as patient experience. I called in February to book an appointment, with having concerning symptoms and could not get in until August. The woman who answered the phone was rude, curt, and dismissive. I very calmly said that I was an existing patient and am experiencing some concerns and if there was any possibility to get in sooner, I would appreciate it. She didn't ask what the concerns were, she simply and rudely said that was my only option. Even eluding that if I didn't like that, I could go somewhere else!!! So here I wait...... never calling back to see if an opening became available because honestly I was so put off by the first call I didn't think I'd get anywhere. July 20 comes and I receive a call that the Dr. won't be available on the scheduled date anymore and that I need to reschedule. I work, I have a teenage child at home during the summer, with lots of appointments and my own appointments to work around. We figure out a date where I will have to juggle some other appointments around to accommodate the new appointment. July 27. Great! It's sooner! I check in at 9:00am for a 9:30am appointment. Get called back to the room at 9:40. I'm still sitting there at 10:30, never seen, no one has come in. I step out to express my thoughts that this is getting ridiculous and that I have another appointment to go to. No one cares. "She'll be right in". 10:45, nothing. So I again step out and say that I have to go and this was very unacceptable. That not just the doctors time is is important but so is mine. Then I go to reschedule my appointment only to be greeted with the rude attitude again and an appointment in December! I do not recommend this office! J

He had since moved to the hospital in a special role and Dr. James Bancroft took his place. He's been great. Very much like the Dr.s I'd remembered from growing up. Takes the time to listen and prefers holistic approaches as opposed to only prescribing medicine. He's had great referrals to other specialists. They also have a very quick turnaround time on blood work. Lauren has done a great job drawing blood from my "hard to find" veins. This is a small office and the staff is friendly and helpful. They take most insurance plans.
