another thing i forgot to mention about East Coast Family Dental is they never submitted our x-rays to our insurance company, which we later found out from our current dentist's office.

My husband and I were also ripped off by East Coast. At first we had a great experience w. Dr. Sese, and then somehow got passed off to her husband, Dr. Evil. Not only did he tell me I was covered by my insurance as he was doing expensive procedures he was telling me was the only way to correct certain problems, he did a 1/2 assed job. The crowns and inlays all fell out, he didn't finish the 2 root canals he did and i had to have a specialist finish them. I have had to have a lot of his work corrected for a fraction of the price he charged me.
My husband had the same problem as me. We were both slapped with bills that were at least $5000 each.

I called the office, and spoke w. Dr. Sese and told her what was going on and they waived the fee bc I made a such a big stink. Apparently this happens a lot at that office. My family now goes to Dr. Lustiger's office. No, there isn't a massage therapist on hand, or brand new tv's in the office like at East Coast, but they are quick, honest, and do a wonderful job.

Lee Sims Chocolate in McGinley Square and Godiva Chocolates in the Mall sells them.

not in jc, but i highly recommend ally's bridal in hoboken on 1st street. www.allybridal.com
very skilled, and affordable.

The only daycare center in the downtown area I would entrust with the care of my child is the River School on Warren Street. The cost is $1345/month. My daughter has been there for a year, and we are very happy with them. I did a lot research before I decided it was worth it to shell out the ridiculous amount they charge for tuition. Some of the other daycare centers I visited in the area were dirty, some places had caregivers who spoke no english, and some made me feel unwelcome and I was I told to make an appointment, which is a very bad sign...you should always be able to visit a daycare center without an appointment. The only other daycare center in JC I would consider is St. Elizabeth's on Garrison Street near Journal Square. The place has been in business forever and it is half the price of the River School.
