My family of three just moved to Lyndhurst from out of state. Can anyone recommend a primary care physician for my husband, our toddler, and myself?
Though I am looking for a GP that would work for all three of us, I would also welcome recommendations for a pediatrician and women's health physician/OBGYN.
There is a walk in medical center on Valley Brook and Orient in Lyndhurst that I really like. The staff is friendly the wait is not too long, you don't NEED an appointment though you can make one and they have long hours/weekend hours. They do see children although I only take my son there if it's something obvious (like an ear infection or something) and I don't feel like trekking to the pediatrican or the pediatrican can't squeeze me in fast enough. I'm not the type to run to the doctor for every little thing so I like it but if you're the type that likes to form a relationship with your doctor and see them all the time it's not a good fit since the doctor you see usually varies with whoever is there at the time (but they do keep great records of each visit). They also do x-rays on sight which I liked, and they do stiches although not for young children (they told me to take my then 3 yo to the ER instead). And lastly they have an office in Verona that is open 365 days a year which came in very handy when i scratched my cornea on 4th of july and had no desire to go to the ER with it!
