Hunterdon Family Practice & Obstetrics
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.
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:
- 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)
- Obstetrics (prenatal care, labor and delivery and postpartum 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.
Hunterdon Health Practices Accepted Insurance
It is important to have a good understanding of your healthcare benefits. Please call your managed care provider directly with any questions regarding your plan and always verify coverage prior to making an appointment.
Present your insurance card at the beginning of each appointment and alert staff to any changes in your coverage. We will help you with your plan as it relates to benefits, referrals, and billing; but ultimately it is your responsibility to understand your insurance.

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.
