Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The BEST GYN in NJ
I have been a patient of Dr. Sylvester's for over 20 years. She is the most knowledgeable, kind, and thoughtful doctor you will ever meet. I'm very grateful she is my GYN.

Dr. Sylvester was wonderful to discuss my case with. She was extremely knowledgeable, and very even-tempered, and didn't make me feel rushed in any way. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for relief from fibroid issues.

I am very sad to be writing this review, as I had previously liked Dr Sylvester very much for her kind nature & thorough conduct as my doctor. Since originally meeting with her about 5 years ago, I don't know what has changed in her practice, but it isn't good. Her desk staff is rude & disrespectful, as well as dismissive. Additionally, her practice has become more like a production line, where "she sees patients every 10 minutes", as I was told by her assistant. I will not be returning.
