This business continues to spam me via emails, text and phone over the last two years, despite me…read morenever having been a patient here. I have contacted them several times to get them to stop bothering me, and finally had to block them. Years ago I had used my contact information to get a quote from their office, so I could help a young woman who worked at our front desk. I wanted to doublecheck what their stated fees were so I could have all the information when I reported this office. The young woman who worked for us was a survivor of childhood cancer and as a young adult she had concerns related to her hormone levels. She was working at least two part time jobs while starting premed, and it was difficult for her to save up for their ridiculous consult fee (not covered by insurance). One day she came into work very teary eyed, and when we pressed her, she told us she was upset that this office refused to release the results for the hormone tests (that she had already paid for up front) without giving them an additional large fee and making a costly follow up appointment. I was LIVID. As soon as I could, I found the office number and called to remind them of HIPAA regulations. The woman who answered refused to give me contact information for the M.D. or transfer me to her. She would not acknowledge that the office was violating HIPAA for refusing to allow a patient access to her own records. I found the M.D.'s number and left a message that I would be filing a report with the NJ Board of Medicine as well as with her original state's board. Then, of course, the records were given to our young friend. Imagine the gall, to take advantage of patients in this way, and a young woman who had cancer to boot. To think, this girl was premed and had an early education on what doctors can be like. I only hope it didn't dissuade her from her program. Today, after they somehow got through my block of their emails, I looked up the business again. I see how many complaints there are online regarding this particular office and the parent company. The state board should shut them down.

I tried CST with Gina last summer and highly recommend her!…read more I had surgery over the summer to remove minor skin cancer from my forehead. The doctors told me I would be fine but afterwards I felt surprisingly tired and like I had a constant headache. Because of the stitches and surgery I wasn't able to do anything I normally would try to feel better. No working out, minimal activity, any moisture could aggravate the area. I have never done energy work before and didn't understand how it could do anything but it sounded like the perfect thing to try. The session was gentle yet POWERFUL even though Gina was hardly applying any pressure. I remember feeling something she did on my arm in my side torso, and something in my foot I felt in my upper body. It was amazing. And the whole time I was aware of what was going on yet somehow felt almost hypnotized into a relaxed state. Afterwards it felt like the overall aches and fatigue I was experiencing lifted. Not completely, but significantly enough that I felt great relief. I am grateful to Gina for introducing me to this new modality for healing and self care. She is caring, knowledgeable and passionate about her craft and I highly recommend her!
