+1 on Newport Medical Associates. The reception staff is often clueless and lazy, but they will give you same-day appointments when necessary. I see Dr. Chinai there, who seems knowledgeable, competent, and has a no-nonsense attitude which I like.

Also, St. Mary's and Hoboken University Medical Center are one and the same. St. Mary's was never "closed down."

Although no longer owned by Bon Secours, the middle management and staff are still there from the St. Mary's days. It's now a city-owned hospital, and became a university hospital (because of its affiliation with some NJ med and nursing schools), but really, the only difference is the name.

Call Newport Medical Associates - their office is on Washington Blvd. across from Staples. When you call tell them you have an emergency. I did that once and they gave me an appointment within a couple hours.

Where does one go if they want to see a doctor today, or even within 36 hours? For a non-emergency, but something that can't wait.

My primary care doctor will set appointments two-three weeks in advance. The receptionist will fight about seeing me today, saying go to the ER instead even for non-emergencies. If I walk in to his office, they'll give in (perhaps medical ethics rules require it, or they just don't want the confrontation in the office), but I don't like starting a visit on an adversarial relationship.

This is both a question for now - e.g. I heard St Mary's in Hoboken (which was AWFUL) was closed down and turned into a place where you can walk in and be seen reasonably quickly, and I'm wondering if this is true. And a question in general - I'd like to switch my primary care doctor to one who works in a group where I can be seen on short notice if I need to, even if he is out golfing.

My insurance doesn't have any primary care physician nonsense anymore, but it used to and I picked my doctor at random (one in JC) because of it (I can see most any doctor and have it covered now). I prefer doctors in NYC in general since there's something sketchy about every profession in Jersey City... But I will happily accept good advice for JC...

I vote for NYC too. Went through just about everyone in Hoboken and JC

I use Beth Israel at 23rd st

I also found this website
http://www.ratemds.com, helpful when searching. This was mentioned somewhere by a JCLister before. The comments for JC doctors mirrored a lot of my own, Contains info about the insurance they take, but also call to be sure.

I also have to endorse what the poster said about office staff, sometimes you find a reasonable doctor but the office staff is insufferable. No one needs that when they are ill.

Good luck

My experience has taught me that even if you find a good doctor around here you first have to get through the gauntlet of street people receptionists to see him/her.

Run, run away. All of mine are up in Bergen County, but Iknow a lot of people who go to the city.

Had no problems with these guys



I've been going to Dr. Angelo Demarco @ Hoboken Family Practice on Washington for many years. I'm very pleased with him as my GP and getting an emergency appt. when I'm sick is no problem.


Hope you feel better!

I am looking for a PCP in Downtown Jersey City. The last place I ended up at via my insurance website was a little scary.

Any help is appreciated!

Does anyone know of a good doctor to go to in downtown jc? My wife and I are looking for someone, as we are new to the area and have not had a checkup in a few years since living overseas. Preferably a younger doctor, someone we can relate to being in our 30's and my wife prefers a woman. I have no preference.

I really like my doctor. She's young (and very pretty, almost a girl that I might have hated in high school, but not cuz she's soooo nice). She only in the office a few days a week, but is in a good group and she's got an excellent bedside manner and always takes her time with me.

Dr. Fabrikant in the Portside Medical Group on Warren & Dudley - (Paulus Hook)

She's there I think Tues, Wed, Thurs & alt saturdays.

I have horizon bluecross/blue sheild - njplus.

I went to Dr. Mangia for a while (he's on Washington Street, I believe), but I got tired of waiting for hours on end to be seen. I now go to Hoboken for all of my doctors. Dr. Balacco/Dr. DeMarco on Washington are terrific, and very close to the PATH.

Yeah, I know Dr. Dungo. He is a cardiologist so if he was assigned as your primary care provider you must have some kind of heart condition.

Dungo is a very jovial, friendly doc, a yankee fan (which am I!)and great as to bedside manner and having you run annual/regular stress tests on your heart (either on the treadmill or laying down depending on your condition), overall great doc.

However, if your primary medical malady is something else (like diabetes, your primary should be an endocrinologist, infectious diseases should be internal medicine w/ infectious dieseas specialty, like Dr. Mangia, and so on).

You can always change your primary through your network, just check out what docs are in network for your principle malady and ask to switch to them if Dungo is not appropriate.

Good luck!

PS:also there are many topic threads, posts on docs here just click on "Advanced Search", put keyword "doctor" in lower case, check Msgs, check All and click submit and review topic theads.

I moved to J.C. about a year ago from Clifton and I would like to find a Doctor (internal medicine) and a Dentist that is a little closer to home. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
