They are the absolute WORST doctors and office staff EVER! They are rude, flighty, awful to deal, and mean! The doctors have zero patience for people who are expecting their first child...it is a total baby factory and quite frankly they ruined my birthing experience. Dr. Owunna is nice, Dr. Sinofsky and Gleason are so so. Gross and Wagner are the RUDEST. They have no bedside manner. Dont get me started on the office staff...very unprofessional and rude. Wait time for most appointments was an hour at least. Let me tell you my experience, i had a great pregnancy and great labor. The nurses at St. Peters made sure my labor was a wonderful experience, all hell broke loose once Dr. Owunna and Dr. Wagner got involved in the process. After an hour of me pushing, Dr. Owunna took a phone call on her blackberry while sitting at the foot of my bed. Shortly thereafter she explained that she was leaving on vacation to Washington DC with her family and couldnt finish the delivery process with me, that Dr. Wagner would be in. SO SHE LEFT! Wagner came in, was rude, and seemed like she didnt want to be there. She spent more time walking out of my room than staying in, and at one point acutally came back with a soda in her hand (after I hadnt eaten or drank anything in many many hours). After pushing for 3.5 hours I asked for a c-section. She wouldnt give me one. She had a nurse jump down on my stomach which forced the baby out, and also collapsed his lung. He was blue and gasping for air. The NICU team was great, took him away immediately and he spent 7 full days in the NICU (hes now perfectly fine). I truly believe if the doctors were more caring, my baby wouldnt have suffered so much. Never once did Wagner say congratulations, im sorry or try to console me. While stiching me up, she wouldnt let the nurse give me any novicaine, and when I was crying in pain, she told me "you really need to calm down, youre making this harder than it has to be." AWFUL!!!! If you are pregnant, change doctors immediately! I am not the only patient of theirs whose baby needed the NICU!

I had a horrible experience at this office. Personally, these doctors were not the right fit for me. Very "medical" and no bedside manner. This is my first pregnancy, and each time I visited the office, not only did I wait FOREVER in the waiting room (2 times well over an hour after my scheduled appointment), but once I would finally see a doctor I felt rushed out of room, even when I had questions/concerns. I never felt satisfied leaving... If you are looking to establish a close connection with your doctors, this is NOT the place for you. The final straw for me was when one of the doctors began pressuring me to do a procedure I was NOT comfortable with... Although she claimed it was a mandatory procedure and I had no choice, I bolted out the of office and that was that. I immediately switched at 28 weeks to a midwife group and THANK GOD I did. Turns out, that procedure does not need to be done during pregnancy and there are several risks involved in doing so. Im so happy I listened to my gut. Like I said, if you dont mind just feeling like a "number" than this place may be ok for you.. but I can not express enough how unhappy i was at this office and Im so happy to be finishing out my pregnancy with a group of women who actual care, make me feel comfortable, and take their time with me.

I made an appointment several weeks in advance for an appointment here for my first check-up. I received a reminder a day before the appointment, as expected, and came at least 15 minutes early for my appointment the next day. Shortly after I signed in, they asked for my name again with a look of confusion, and I gave them my full name and told them that my mother was a patient of theirs as well. They looked at their computer again, told me that I was never scheduled for an appointment today, and that they were booked and that I’d have to make an appointment for another day. I did, and then went home feeling pretty confused. Later that evening, my phone rang, and it was from the clinic asking me why I hadn’t shown up for the appointment. I explained to them that I did and was sent home, repeating my name again, that my mother went there as well, and that I had received a reminder that I had an appointment. All I heard back was “Huh, that’s weird” and then the call was disconnected. Not even an apology. I cancelled the next appointment I had scheduled and I advise anyone looking for a new obgyn clinic not to go here. Terrible service.

I never ever write reviews but this time I really lost my patience with the staff here....the only reason I will continue going here is that every doctor here is amazing...from Dr. Gupta, Dr. Owunna to Dr. Gleason...each of them is great! The nurse (June) is also really nice. Although, its the administrative staff and the front desk thats causing the trouble....like everyone said, their attitude and limits of unprofessional-ism is ridiculous!! They must have forgotten to call in my meds so the staff at CVS called them and requested them to do the needful...CVS got a reply that they will get back to them...3 days later, CVS called them again to remind them and got the same reply...when I called the doctors office, (now is our 4th attempt to get my meds) they interrupted my sentence (of course I sounded pissed off!!) and transferred the line where nobody answered...I left them a voicemail and am now waiting for them to call me back!! I wrote this review not to take away this groups business but for them to hopefully read this and do the needful. I will still continue going to this practice because of the amazing doctors there.

DO NOT GO HERE. Times have changed, everyone has high deductable these days. So you need to make sure what you are getting billed for. DOCTORS ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN YOUR CAR MECHANIC, when you go to service your car, dont you ask how much a service will cost? I learnt this the hard way. Keep this in mind! 1. They will ask you to pre-pay your pregnancy, never heard of anywhere else. 2. They are RUDE RUDE RUDE 3. They will ask you to take tests which are not covered by Insurance without even notifying you that they cost thousands of dollars, I personally got billed 2K by a LAB for Genetic test (So if they ask you to do any genetic testing, DENY DENY DENY 4. They Run a business, So always always Question the procudure that they are doing, double check with insurance company before you get any procedure done so that you dont have surprises at the end. 5. Wait times are LONG SO GET A COUPLE OF BOOKS! 5. MOST IMPORTANT - dont get the labwork done at their clinic. Get a prescription, get it at a LAB, this way, you will know if services are covered & YOU AVOID THEM BILLING YOU JUST FOR DRAWING BLOOD.

Rude doctor, rude staff. I went back with an issue and the doctor was very rough with the examination, even though my issue was discomfort and pain. I was also in an exam room on a bed next to an open container full of dirty gloves. She wrote me a script assuming the problem, then told me she would call with the results. I never heard back and my problem did not go away with the Rx. I called and they said they didnt need to call me with my results because the dr already wrote me the Rx...um...I still want to know what is WRONG with me! I asked to speak to the dr and they told me she would call. I then got a call from a rude assistant telling me my new Rx was called into the pharmacy. All of this back and forth and I never actually got the Dr on the phone to discuss my issue in detail. Rude staff, rough examination, no personal interest. Im actually writing this 2 years after my issue, since then I have been seeing a much better doctor at a much friendlier practice.
