Grace Lisboa I had an incredibly frustrating experience during my appointment on Saturday, February 22nd, at 11:20am, which I had scheduled three weeks in advance and confirmed both by phone and text. Upon arriving at the office, the receptionist, Betsy, informed me that my appointment was canceled due to an issue with two profiles in their system and incorrect last names. This explanation was unclear and confusing, so I asked for further clarification.
Betsy then explained that my previous profile was still active, and due to this, my appointment was canceled. I was not notified about this cancellation, despite receiving confirmation of the appointment. When I showed her the confirmation, her response became increasingly agitated. She claimed that I was there for an appointment on January 3rd, and that I should have used the same profile. However, I had never made an appointment in January, and the idea that I had missed one was completely incorrect.
Betsy then asserted that she had multiple photos of me from that visit on January 3rd, which she claimed she would print out to prove I had been there. At this point, I became concerned that there might be fraudulent activity involving my insurance, as I was obviously certain I had never visited the office in January. Instead of addressing my concerns calmly, Betsy raised her voice, making the situation even more uncomfortable.
After a few moments, I called my husband, so he could come pick me up since I was no longer having an appointment. Betsy continued to yell and interrupt while I was on the phone, even though I made it clear that I was not blaming her for the cancellation, but was deeply disappointed with the lack of communication and professionalism.
She informed me that my appointment had been rescheduled for March, but I had never been notified of the cancellation or the rescheduling. When I asked her to cancel it altogether, as I no longer wished to continue with their services, she became even more upset.
When my husband arrived to seek further clarification, especially regarding the claim that I had been there on January 3rd (a day when I was actually out of the country), Betsy’s behavior shifted dramatically. She then denied everything she had previously said, twisted the whole story, and had a whole different attitude.
Given that this is a women’s health center, it is incredibly concerning that Betsy displayed such a lack of professionalism and communication skills. Her confrontational attitude and inability to handle the situation left a lasting negative impression. Women’s Health Center lost a patient this Saturday because of your frontline professional, as it is clear that her skills are not well-suited for customer-facing positions.

Anissa H The staff and providers are wonderful, attentive, and friendly, and they make you feel comfortable. However, the end of visits often involves a lack of follow-through, creating significant inconvenience and frustration. This requires repeatedly calling the office for follow-up on outpatient orders, like lab orders and prescriptions, etc., after the appointment, leading to unnecessary back-and-forth outside of the scheduled visit time.

Gabriela What a disappointment. Making an appointment at this center has been a problem, I made an appointment for January 23 with Dr. Michael Denardis, (I requested permission from my work to attend the appointment) when I arrived they told me that my appointment was with someone else or that I could go to where the Dr. was in Neptune, (but my appointment had been confirmed with the Dr. for that day and this address) they made me another appointment for February 4 with Dr. DENARDIS, they gave me the sheet with the appointment, days before the appointment I received a message that my appointment was with someone else AGAIN. I decided to go by the office to go again and they told me that the doctor will not be there until MARCH. I THINK IT IS A LACK OF RESPECT TOWARDS THE PATIENTS. They do not play with peoples time and health... I definitely do not recommend this place...

Priscilla Corrales I felt so comfortable with the nurse and she answered all of my questions in so much detail that I knew she was really listening and not trying to rush my appointment. She expressed everything she will be doing to look further into my situation and what the next steps will be. She even answered questions my fiancé had. I wouldn’t want to see another nurse besides her. I am glad I came here for my first time visit and was scheduled with Ninoshka!!!

Samira Diab WORST EXPERIENCE EVER
Appointment was at 9:55 - Got brought back 20 minutes later. My visit today was for an annual check up. Waiting in the room as they told me to prepare and to get undressed for my Pap smear. As I’m sitting there waiting for them to come in, it’s now been over 30 minutes and I’m awkwardly sitting here feeling very uncomfortable, undressed.
The walls are VERY thin, and I can just hear most of the employees out there, talking about nonsense, and NOT prioritizing the patients..
First time at this location, it will most definitely be my last time.
