I saw Dr Drosinos for an IUD removal and insertion under sedation. Prior to the procedure, I was…read moreconsented for and IUD removal and insertion only. When I spoke to Dr Drosinos just before the procedure, she walked me through what would happen, which was an IUD removal and insertion. Following the procedure when I was no longer under sedation, Dr Drosinos told me everything went perfectly and I was all set. A few weeks later, I received my bill which had several procedures, images and testing that I did not consent to, and was never told about before or after the procedure. Dr Drosinos performed the following on me while I was under sedation without my consent: 1. Intravaginal ultrasound 2. Non-obstectrical ultrasound 3. 3D imaging of uterus 4. Pelvic duplex 5. Pap smear 6. STD testing 7. Hysteroscopy It is illegal for a doctor to preform procedures, testing and imaging without a patient's consent. NY State has additional laws making pelvic exam under sedation without consent specifically illegal. I asked to meet with Dr Drosinos so I could find out exactly what happened to me while I was under sedation. She told me I could come in at 7am before the practice opened, or I was welcome to pay the $650 appointment fee to meet with her during business hours.

I have had terrible insomnia and had gained 18 lbs and was in menopause. Dr. Drosino's told me to "walk more". I have never gained more than a few pounds my entire life or had insomnia and currently walk six miles a day. And, the Dexa test came back positive for osteoporosis. No one ever followed up from this office. The absolute WORST care for any educated woman going through menopause. Insomnia, weight gain, bone loss, thinning hair and this female doctor only advise , "walk more".

Super accessible! My first contact with this group of pediatricians was with the birth of my older…read moredaughter over 2 years ago. My coworker had recommended them. Of the group, Dr. Teresa Manocchio (pronounced like Pinocchio) is my all-time favorite. She has a warm bedside manner and an honest, down-to-earth personality. She's a natural. The entire staff including nurses and receptionists (who can validate parking) are great with children and their parents. In the waiting area, there's a spot for parking strollers and Nemo and Dory impersonators in a fish tank that separates healthy and sick patients. While receptionists can book appointments, online scheduling's available on a "patient portal" for $69/year for one child (and $30/year for each additional child). Visit notes, recommendations, and vaccine information are shared on the portal but more importantly, future appointments are easier to schedule with any doctor you wish. For regular check-ups, bringing a blanket helps keep babies warm when they need to be stripped to their diaper. One time I forgot and had to use my hoodie. Wait times typically range from 5 to 15 minutes. The staff's pretty mindful of keeping healthy kids away from exam rooms previously occupied by a sick child. The doctors use current best practices and fully answer any questions. They also perform ear piercings for $100 which includes a starter pair of earrings from a selection of 5 choices. I suggest bringing a book or toy as a distractor for immediately after the piercing. For semi-emergencies, you can call for a same-day appointment with the doctor on duty. I love this group so much that I recommended them to my brother's family. It's a matter of trust.

I was referred to Dr Morrison's office from my kids' primary pediatric physician. I called for an appointment last minute and was greeted by Steve. He was very understanding, letting me know they were booked up for days and wouldn't be able to see my daughter, but took my information down to see if he can squeeze here in regardless. I received a call an hour later that he was able to squeeze me in about 45 minutes later if we can make it, which we did... When we arrived, we filled out the usual paper work, provided ID and insurance, then waited in the waiting room for about 20 minutes. Definitely not complaining here since it was a last minute appointment that was squeezed in. They brought us in to an exam room and about 5/10 minutes later Dr Morrison walks in. To me, she seemed very genuine and caring, talking with my daughter and I to identify the problem. Not wanting to get into the details here, but Dr Sullivan was very forthcoming and honest with me, which is exactly what I want from a doctor. So very happy with my visit to her office. Need to mention: - parking deck and entrance is not on Newark, it is on the opposite side of the building. - they do not take cred cards.

I didn't have the card with me, so I told them I'd send it once I got home. The supervisor refused to let my child see the doctor without the card, even though my child was unwell and needed immediate care. They suggested I pay out of pocket instead and kept repeating that it was "policy." But a sick child isn't just a policy. Thankfully, another staff member stepped in, confirmed our insurance, and found the information in their files. The other two employees were too lazy to check. My advice? Go somewhere else. If you're a parent with a sick child, Ivy Pediatrics might turn you away just because they can't find your insurance, even if they've billed it before. Find another place for your child's care.

After many attempts to get the lab results for my child, I found out that the lab order was not submitted correctly. Half of panel was missing. Maybe open your computer and check if we even need to come in for an appointment. Second, she ordered tests for 4 different nuts. And half was missing. That's it! How about other serious allergens! My child is small and still terrified of needles. The screaming and tears it took to do the bloodwork in the first place. She didn't even bat an eye that we will need to redo bloodwork because of her negligence! No remorse. Third, the appointment was a huge waste of time. She was sitting there like owl blinking her eyes waiting for me give her presentation, I guess. She said nothing - no explanation, no information how to navigate my kid's serious allergies, nothing. Absolutely nothing. Keep in mind, it was our second appointment where, after running tests she was supposed to order, she would have more information needed to discuss our next steps or approach. Zero answers. I would strongly recommend NOT to go to this practice. Unbelievable that she can be so incompetent and ill prepared!
