Do not go to this place. If you need an appointment, they will schedule you 2 months away. and it is not guaranteed that you will keep your appointment. They emailed me saying I have to reschedule mu appointment and when i called to do so, they were putting me down for another month away. at this point don't have women come back every year since you schedule them every two. Not to mention staff is rude, which is sad because they are women too so you'd think they are considerate.

If you want to go to appointments and wait 45 minutes to an hour pass your designated time to then only be checked briefly with zero ultra sounds, zero guidance for first time motherhood, zero class offerings other than a lacation specialist, sit in a half renovated office and god forbid you don't leave soon enough and end up relying on these people to help with your birth I promise you won't be heard even then.
My doc refused to check me while I was in labor and denied me the epidural because it was "to soon" (remember I WAS NOT CHECKED) only to then be forced to have my daughter naturally with no medication a short time later because it was to late to have the epidural by the time I had to push. Now that I am pregnant again and looking for a new MD this office won't give me my own records without physically coming in to sign a form to release my records to MYSELF. Don't even get my started on PPD help because I ended up having to find help BY MYSELF. Just stay away from this place. Go anywhere else BUT HERE.

While the doctors here are good I am very disappointed with their need to price gauge their patients. I am charged 50.00 for every visit. My first was my annual exam which is fine. Then I was asked to come back for an ultrasound and a biopsy as two separate appointments $50.00 each. Each one of those visits took about 8-10 mins and could have been done on the same day.
The next visit was for my doctor to review my results - which really could have been done by phone. I came in of course paid $50.00 again and the doctor spent 3 mins with me to tell me that I had to speak to the other doctor in the practice because they were recommending a surgical procedure. Instead of arranging for me to speak to that doctor that day and I asked but she wasn't available t why made me come back again for another 50.00 visit just to have the surgical talk with the doctor - o asked if that could be done by phone but they said no.
So five visits later at $250 later I could have done all of the visits in two visits and by phone. It's disposable really and I will be looking for a another practice in addition they made take 5 days out of my schedule to come to these visits that all totaled less than 30 minutes of time

DO NOT SEE DR. VETTER. I was having a lot of pain and he told me it was probably a yeast infection and just sent me off. He then DIDN'T SEND THE MEDICATION EVEN WHEN I CALLED THREE TIMES. A few days later I went back because I was still in extreme pain. He continued to rush through the appointment, told me if a random cream he was giving me didn't work, I needed to see a dermatologist.
Thank god I didn't listen because after a hospital visit and seeing two more doctors I was diagnosed correctly. He is an awful doctor who does not care about helping his patients.

Please find another practice. I was with them for 10 plus years and dr. Morgan is very nice, she delivered both my babies however after my miscarriage I felt mistreated. Waited in their waiting room with a bunch of pregnant woman for an hour just to talk to the doctor for 5 min. to tell dr. Morgan I want a D&C (which they knew already) they wanted my copay I guess.
But their staff is mostly rude and you will always need to carve out at least 2 hours of your time to see the doctor for 10 min for regular visits. For my third pregnancy I'm with a midwife and the treatment is night and day in comparison. So happy I made the change.

I didn't want to see a male doctor anymore so I had to wait three months to get an appointment with Dr. Pagano the day of my appointment they called and said they had to reschedule because Dr. Vetter was in an accident I said I was not seeing Dr. Vetter I made the appointment with Dr. Pagano they insisted that I have an appointment with Dr. Vetter because that's who I have always seen and I said no that's why I had to wait three months to get the appointment with Dr. Pagano finally I just said I'm going to find another doctor I'm done with this. And this is probably the third time this is happened to me just not going anymore.

Please do yourself a favor and do not go to this practice. Women deserve better. I will say that Dr. Morgan herself has always been kind to me and I am thankful for the season of time I had with her as my care provider and will miss her. However, the bad of this practice sadly outweighs the good. For one the staff is HORRIBLE! They are rude and inconsiderate.
I heard one say about a woman having a loss of pregnancy that she is (AND I QUOTE) "a pain in the a**". That is UNACCEPTABLE and disgusting. They have made me to feel embarrassed every time I have gone there on account my insurance is not typical and it's always like the entire room has to hear about it. Also when I had a preconception visit to ask about certain practices and standards of care they conduct during birth I felt rushed and some of the answers I received were outdated practices even according to ACOG.
My friend's who have given birth with this practice did not have the level of care and respect I felt they deserved. It wasn't until I switched practices that I realized the above instances are not the norm! Staff should be considerate and respectful. You should not feel rushed. You should not be made to feel you are an inconvenience or that you do not know what you want.
Every woman deserves a respectful environment of care through all seasons of her life but especially in pregnancy and birth. Please care for yourself and find another practice that will listen to you and give you options that is safest for you and any baby you may have in your lifetime.

Back in September of 2014, I came here to be seen because of pregnancy complications. I was bleeding heavily when I arrived and let them know I may have been experiencing a miscarriage. They took a blood sample and had me sit in the waiting room for about 3 hours without even acknowledging I was in crazy pain bleeding on the seat. I asked the receptionist what was the status of me being seen as I was in major pain and bleeding profusely.
He told me my problem wasn't considered an emergency and I had 7 people in front of me. He also said if anyone else comes in with a greater emergency, they would be seen before me. As crazy as that was and should've been the thing to make me leave, I was in way too much pain to think about leaving. They finally called me up after waiting for 2.5 hours and took yet another sample of blood.
By this time I was in agonizing pain and just wanted to be seen, but still nothing. After being there for a total of 5.5 hours, I decided to have my ride take us back to the hotel.(there on business, not even from NJ). She insisted we stay but those chairs were horribly uncomfortable, I was bleeding crazily so my clothes were soaked with blood, and I still all that time later had 5 patients in front of me.
So I left, and returned to work the next day only to fully miscarry at work. And the gyno that assisted me during my miscarriage informed me that there was a small chance my ENTIRE miscarriage could've been avoided if I had been seen the night prior. And now years later they are still billing me a total of $2400 for blood work when they didn't care enough about my health or well being. Not to mention losing my child, so a super long story short, GO ANYWHERE ELSE! Again, I don't even live in Jersey. I'm from the South.

Dr. Vetter gave me very little time during my visit and treated me like I did not know what I really wanted for birth control. He did not ask me if I had any questions and certainly did not make me feel comfortable. I expressed my discomfort with continuing on with him as my doctor and the entire situation was severely mismanaged by the practice. The next time I scheduled another appointment the nurse told me my appointment would be with another doctor.
When I arrived the front desk informed me that my appointment was with Vetter. I left very upset, but rescheduled again, with another doctor. The third time I went to the office the same thing happened, I was scheduled to see Vetter. I was informed that it was against practice policy for me to see another doctor. This was a terrible experience that wasted my time and money. I would recommend you avoid this practice and Vetter specifically at all costs.

LOVE THIS PRACTICE! I love this office. I feel comfortable with every doctor and they make me feel that no question is silly. I was constantly calling because I was so nervous with my first pregnancy. My little baby girl is one lucky baby because Brick Women's Physicians took such good care of us. Dr. Pagano delivered my baby and was so reassuring.
I had some problems with my insurance and the billing staff was a huge help! I'm pregnant with my second and can't wait. I have recommended this practice to all of my friends and they love them too
