The whole chemed doesn't deliver outside of business hours, they have one doctor on call a day. If you schedule a c-section or something then it's possible to schedule with him but he doesn't guarantee anything. The on call doctor/residents at the hospital are the ones at delivery. They deliver at RWJ so it's a very good hospital. It's obviously not ideal for a lot of ppl not to have their doctor there but personally I didn't have much a choice as there isn't anyone truly high risk in lakewood or surrounding areas that takes Jersey Care.

In terms of that specific issue I don't know since I don't have experience with it, but he is an MFM and one of the top of the field, so I would feel comfortable with any issue. I actually had my first in Columbia (lived in NY) in the high risk group there and he used to work there and knew my doctor (and she actually was his wife's doctor too lol)

He's very nice, makes jokes/friendly small talk, but also professional and gets the job done. He isn't an alarmist as far as I've seen, never trying to scare me about anything, yet being on top of the issue.

All the nurses and other doctors/midwives that I've crossed paths with so far are really nice. I have to go in twice a week for monitoring so I was scheduling a lot of appointments and the office staff was very accomadating, calling back with updates since some of the weeks I needed they didn't have at first, etc.

Oh and his partner Dr. Sweat is also an MFM (the rest of the doctors are not) and she's very very sweet and also highly competent.

You have no control over who delivers you. If you’re high risk that may not be a good option.

He is an excellent doc but doesn’t necessarily deliver. I also love Dr Sweat , she is so nice!

Yup I was the OP of that post.

So I went for one appt met Dr Sweat she was really sweet but she said very clearly 99% chance you will have a resident deliver you. I left and didn't come back.

I was trying for a VBAC and would not risk that in this practice.

I also called a highly respected medical askan who said he is a 9-5 Dr so if you are high risk and have a scheduled induction / C section then he is a good option. (Besides for teh bedside manner which is horrible)
BUT if you are not the above when you come into the hospital you will be treated like an immigrant..

Suffice it to say that was enough for me to run the other way.

They won’t treat you like an immigrant, you will be delivered by the residents or RWJ OB on call with MFM overseeing. I’ve had very good experiences there. A lot of their doctors are very good. Dr McMillain, Dr Ebert, Dr Ayer’s. Great Doctors. If you don’t want a resident there ask for them to leave but that is a problem if you have a C Section, you don’t know who is really doing the work.
A scheduled CSection with Dr Sweat should be great tho. It’s an unplanned C Section that would worry me but most likely it would go well either way.
