Dr. Fox was very compassionate and did not rush through the appointment she answered all of my questions and even asked me what concerns I had. That means so much to me.

Horrible. Thinking of leaving the Essex County OBGYN practice all together after this visit. Zero root cause analysis or critical thinking, only pushing prescriptions for birth control pills.

What a lovely and informed clinician. Terrific experience.
