"I love Essex county Obgyn. Dr. Boyd is really wonderful. She always makes me feel at ease and answers all of my questions. I’ve seen her for both of my babies and have had two awesome experiences."
— Unilocal Review"Awful communication here. I was sent for a follow up ultrasound because they «couldn’t get a good picture» of my baby’s heart. I went to this follow up alone and was told my baby has a heart defect. Later I find out the doctors saw this defect and did not tell me about it."
