Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients are seen within 24-48 hours of calling. For acute concerns like infections, injuries, or sudden illnesses, we often have same-day appointments available. If you're feeling very sick, call us as soon as you wake up and we'll do our best to fit you in that day.

Every appointment is scheduled for 30-60 minutes — far longer than the typical 7-10 minute visit at most practices. We believe in taking the time to truly understand your concerns and create a comprehensive treatment plan.

Current patients can book through our secure patient portal. New patients should call (908) 450-7002 for their first appointment so we can answer questions and get you scheduled appropriately.
