The staff on hand was also nice enough to help me being that I had my sick mother one one side and my father who has parkinson's with me since my mother is his primary caregiver. The ER staff worked quickly and efficiently to run tests after which she was admitted to the hospital for two days. We were moved over to the newer building which is unbelievable. Beautiful, spacious, clean and pretty glamorous for a hospital. Again the staff at the hospital was super accommodating and understanding that my father insisted on being at her side even though he would have been much more comfortable at home. Thank you to Beatrice, Amanda and Julie (the only names I remembered to write down) in the kidney transplant wing, and to everyone whose name I did not get for taking such good care of us. My mom does not speak english but again the staff was super helpful and had a walkie-talkie type radio on them that could bring up someone who could speak the language (awesome idea). They helped us order breakfast for my mother (there is an entire menu you can choose from which is fabulous) and even made sure to ask if my father had eaten as well.

If you want to be another fatal statistic, play roulette with your life or loved ones life, during…read morea serious life threatening emergency, than RWJ ST Barnabas Livingston ER, is the place to be. I would not recommend the Emergency room at St Barnabas to the most vile individual. The Emergency Room at RWJ St Barnabas Hospital Livingston is a place I would not recommend any breathing soul to visit. PLEASE DO YOUR LOVED ONES A FAVOR, GO ELSEWHERE (Morristown Memorial, St Claire's, Holyname, Englewood) Our experience felt like something straight off tv! Pediatric Nurse Erin R (a disgrace) and Grace R (horrible) Nurses in pediatrics HORRIBLE! These nurses are a disgrace to RWJ St Barnabas. The Pediatric Emergency Room is beyond horrible. My child could not walk, or stand. I asked the nurse at the entrance if she could bring a stretcher to help, get my child into the ER., my child was weak, in enormous pain. The nurse huffed at me like I was asking for millions of dollars. My child was admitted, needed 2 transfusions, and needed intensive care. The lack of compassion, care, no concern, desensitized, inappropriate behavior of the ER nursing staff, lack of communication amongst doctor's, nurses, and patients is life threatening. I will say the Pediatric floor has improved, and I appreciate all of the nurses that has cared for my child for the past 4 years. Unfortunately due to a few bad apples in the ER, we will never return to this place, regardless of the circumstances. This hospital is a train wreck looking for a time, and place. It won't be with my family or friends! Yes sharing your review on social media will encourage others to think twice. Hopefully positive changes for the better will happen, that hold a few bad surgeons, and nurses accountable. The Joint Commission, medical board, nursing license board, consumer affairs, as well as going after these negligent surgeons at St Barnabas ability to write medication for pain, narcotics will get immediate attention, adding loss of accreditation, possibly being kicked to a Tier 2 hospital which will hurt the hospital financially. Only after RWJ St Barnabas is held fully accountable on every level that affects there finances will they understand the depth of pain, and disappointment, that they have caused patients, families, and the community!

The front desk woman was nice, the staff member who brought me back for a weight and blood pressure check was nice, the sonograph tech Xena was kind and explained what she was seeing and assured me when I was nervous. She tried extra hard to get those pics of my hiding son so I didn't have to come back. The doctor who came in after and talked to me about my results was really nice. There was a wait for which they apologized as they were integrating a new system, but I can live with that. I also assume some women need more time getting those scans and so waiting for me is understandable in an office like this. So in person, great. Don't be afraid to come here, it really was worth it in the end. Just get ready for the potential of some administrative headaches when dealing with them over the phone. Getting this appointment was hard. My OB sent the referral to NJPA & told me I'd get a call soon. 1.5 weeks go by and no call. I confirm with my OB that they sent it. So I had to call NJPA and the woman I spoke to emphatically denied receiving the referral, told me should couldn't make my appointment without one, and sounded panicked because I was now not going to get my scan at 20 weeks which was a little nerve racking for me. She put me on hold and when she came back she actually was able to make my appointment, just at 21.5 weeks instead. Fine, I can accept that the referral may have gotten lost in the shuffle or maybe they forgot to call me. That amount of time doesn't make too much of a difference, but the complications just kept coming. 2 days later NJPA leaves me a message telling me that my OB requested I have genetic counseling which was news to me. My OB never discussed that with me, and it worried me. So far I'm having a low-risk, under the age of 35 pregnancy without complications and had extensive genetic counseling already at my fertility clinic. I call my OB & they say that they definitely did not order that for me, don't take the appointment. So I call NJPA back to tell them my OB did not order it but they pushed and literally said "Yes they did." The woman then proceeded to pressure me to take the appointment telling me that if I didn't that she would have to talk to her supervisor and I'd have to sign a waiver when I arrived stating I was refusing treatment, which is a scary thing to hear and I felt like I was doing something wrong so I took the appointment. I called my OB one more time about this, to literally triple check they really didn't order it. This time my OB's office said they would call NJPA directly for me to explain to them. They did, and NJPA got back to me and said the would cancel the counseling and I'd have to sign that waiver. When I got to the office, there wasn't even a waiver. All this to say, when you're scheduling these things, it's time sensitive and nerve racking, they gave me unnecessary worry. But once I got there, it was not an issue! Just some food for thought, if you get through the phone slog, you'll be fine!
