Saint Barnabas Medical Center

Having been a patient at four different fertility clinics due to relocation, Margaret Garrisi is by far the worst ‘doctor’ my husband and I have experienced with respect to interest in her patients, listening to concerns specific to each particular patient, and most of all - bedside manner. Having looked at positive reviews on a few of the sites, we ventured to become her patients. My suspicion is that the reviews are ‘vetted’, and negative reviews are deleted by her office personnel. We were swayed by the somewhat neat and spacious office. Miss Garrisi, whom I have difficulty calling ‘doctor’, talked AT us, throwing out medical acronyms and terminology, as in some bizarre attempt to showcase her knowledge and with an obvious disregard for anything my husband and I wanted to convey. Given the timing of my cycle, we remained in the ‘care’ of the practice – a decision we will regret for a very long time. We experience blatant disrespect and lack of consideration, and each visit proved to be stressful and full of negative ‘surprises’, from waiting over an hour to be seen to condescending and discourteous comments. If you have any regard for your overall well being, your physical and mental health and don’t want to be stressed going through your fertility care, my husband and I would equally advise that you choose a provider other than this ‘doctor’ and her practice.

The maternity wing is atrocious. The rooms are in dire need of renovation, the bathrooms are covered in mold.

I called the hospital on October the 28th. Too ask for an patient room, I got very caring staff that direct me too the nurses station. The nurse took a message for me to be delivered too my friend whi is in the intensive care unit.



Thank you St. Barnabas Medical Ctr....
