Hunterdon Family Medicine at Phillips-Barber
Notice to Patients: Temporarily Relocating Office During Construction
Hunterdon Family Medicine at Phillips-Barber began extensive renovations to expand services and increase the capacity of their office. Over the past two months, the construction process began with the removal of trees surrounding the practice, which has proved to be more challenging than anticipated. The office will continue to experience parking issues, power outages and noise disturbances during construction. Therefore, as of March 22nd, the majority of Hunterdon Family Medicine at Phillips-Barber’s patient care providers will temporarily relocate to the following offices:
- Reading Ridge Plaza, 8 Reading Road, Flemington, NJ 08822
- 84 Route 31 North, Suite 102, Pennington, NJ 08534
In addition, the office will maintain access, when possible, at the Lambertville location once a week. The office phone number will remain the same, 609-397-3535, and the staff will direct patients to the appropriate office when scheduling. The full extent of renovations is expected to take approximately one year to complete, but the office will return to its Lambertville location as soon as it is possible.
Our Approach to Your Care
We welcome you to your medical home. Your health and well-being are our main priority. Our board-certified family physicians are specially trained to care for every member of your family, from newborns to adults.
We work closely with you to develop an individualized care plan that may focus on disease prevention, treating illness, collaborating with specialists when needed, and coordinating care across the healthcare system.
Hunterdon Family Medicine at Phillips-Barber is a teaching practice, that allows us to provide you with health care from resident physicians under the guidance of staff physicians, all of whom are on the faculty at Rutgers University-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in the Department of Family Medicine. Our residents are physicians who have completed medical school and are specializing in family medicine. Resident physicians from Hunterdon Medical Center’s three-year Family Medicine Residency Program provide comprehensive health care to our patients, including obstetrics, under the guidance of our staff physicians.
Our primary care physicians are specially trained to be your first point of entry into the healthcare system and will be your advocate in coordinating all healthcare needs. You and your primary care physician will work — as a team — to meet your medical, physical, mental, and emotional healthcare needs.
We provide preventive care and comprehensive services for infants, children and adults:
- Routine wellness checks (physical examinations, lab tests, vaccinations, gynecological care, pulmonary and cardiac testing, vision/hearing screenings, mental health assessment, nutritional counseling, and health education)
- Obstetrical care
- Chronic disease management (ie: diabetes, arthritis, obesity, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, Lyme disease, etc.)
- Sick visits (colds, flu, infections, rashes, earaches, abdominal issues, etc.)
- Minor injuries (including aches and pains, muscle pulls, sprains, sunburn, lacerations, etc.)
- Minor surgical procedures (suturing, biopsies, wart/mole removal, etc.)
Integrated Behavioral Health Services
People with chronic health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure may
struggle to manage their own health at home, especially when they also suffer
from anxiety or depression. Hunterdon Health offers patients an
Integrated Behavioral Health model of care delivery in their primary care
practices.
Integrated Behavioral Health is a very focused short-term treatment in the primary care practice, and connects patients to other resources throughout Hunterdon Health and in the community when necessary. The primary care doctor also has direct access to psychiatrists for assistance when needed.
Our goal is to understand you and your healthcare needs by routinely monitoring your overall health. We partner with you to make healthcare decisions and if your needs require the care of a specialist, we will make recommendations, coordinate your care, and be with you every step of the way.
Our Hunterdon Health network consists of over 30 primary and specialty practices throughout Hunterdon, Somerset, Mercer, Warren, and Morris counties. We are continuing to expand our network of providers so our community does not have to drive great distances to get the care needed.
- Our providers are committed to the facts that vaccines are effective and safe.
- We support the current vaccine schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians and American Medical Association.
- We agree with all credible research that vaccines do not cause autism.
- Vaccination against harmful and deadly diseases is one of the most important interventions we perform.
- We will discuss and recommend vaccines at all Well Visits.
We strive to provide the best possible care for all of our patients. For those parents who are vaccine hesitant, we will do our best to have you understand the importance of vaccination and address your concerns.

Our “No Show” Policy
Our practice has a policy to charge a "No-Show" fee for patients who do not give our office notice of cancellation 24 hours before their appointment, so we can offer your appointment time to another patient who needs to see a medical provider.
We appreciate your efforts to be here on time for your appointment and for understanding the value of the time that has been set aside for you. Thank you.
