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.

Dr. Najmey very knowledgeable and thorough. Kind and times her time in explaining issues.

I saw this doctor in Fall 2020. I am in my early 20s and was referred to her by my primary after something being off in my lab. I was looking forward to my appointment because I felt that this visit would point me in the right direction as to what is causing the pain and next steps to get it under control. The doctor asked when I felt the pain most, and I shared that I felt it when I was experiencing intense emotions, such as stress. She answered with, “You’re 25 years old, what do you have to be stressed about? When I was 25, I had two kids and was in med school.” Spoiler: I have had a very stressful year from the passing of my father to my wedding being postponed to work, and more. The snarky comments continued throughout the visit. She dismissed my symptoms, told me to “Live my life and stop looking for things.” I left that appointment beyond upset. I am going to get a second opinion at the end of this month. This doctor is rude, crass and dismissive. Save yourself the visit.

Visit was in Januray,2020.Came in with a recurring lower back injury,which she was already aware of.As usual,she didnt remember anything about my history.I have disc degeneration in 4 discs,2 in L-spine and 2 in T-spine,along with R.A. and osteoarthritis.Hurt my back getting out of bed,and this time was the worst,of all the previous injuries.This woman always managed to make me feel as if she didnt believe anything I said.I was given a cortisone injection in the general area,and a muscle relaxer,which was the right course of action,then ,however,instead of sending me for an MRI to find out the current status of these 4 discs,she says to me,in a condesending tone,"this time I'm sending you for physical therapy",as if I was being punished or chastised for hurting my back.You dont send someone with a broken back for PT,until you know exactly how extensive their injury is,all she had to go on ,were some spinal exrays from October of 2019.January was my last visit.

She seemed thorough the first visit, ran tests and made appropriate diagnoses. Next visit she did not prepare herself for my visit and lacked knowledge of my case. Her demeanor is cold, uncaring and condescending. Office staff disclosed their unhappiness with the practice which is disconcerting and inappropriate. While questioning my diagnosis so that I could be fully informed, her response was if I have questions I should seek a second opinion in a very snippy way.

I have been seeing Dr. Najmey for quite a few years. I did try 2 others, the first one in lacey township saw her np . Dr would pop her head in and tell me do what she said not even looking at notes. Then the next one in Toms River he was terrible and so was his office staff. Did not care about a thing except trying to get me to do a trial study which was "free" kept pushing free. I can afford to pay for my meds thank you very much. Switched to Dr. Najmey and have been very happy I see her and only her, she sits and talks to me ask me questions great dr. Even able to get off one med. Office staff great and on top of all requests.

Never ! This doctor lied to my face . She suggested I change to a new medication for osteoporosis. She said it was better . I said ok. After paying $$ big bucks to a specialty rx because it was not covered . I went to dr to receive what I thought was the single injection . I was told that rx was a daily self injection ! WHAT? I don’t do injections well. Phobic !!! Not a chance . At which point dr said , lied to my face , that she told me it was self administered by injection. Liar.

Dr. Najmey has cared for me for about 15 years. She is amazing at diagnosing your issues. She then forms a treatment plan and adjusts it as needed. I have sent many friends and family members to Dr. Najmey and they have all loved her. She is the best.

I am in my early 20s and came to Dr. Najmey with a referral for possible fibromyalgia. She seemed like she was in such a rush and dismissed most of my symptoms making it seem like she thought I was making them up or being dramatic. She told me I had an issue of hyper-mobility, and told me to go to another rheumatologist/ look online if I wanted a formal disease name. After looking it up diagnosis fits but I don't go to a specialist to do at home research. Did not really listen and was just rude.

Professional, experienced, asked good questions, and LISTENED! After several visits and lab tests/results, I was finally diagnosed with Lupus. I had seen many other doctors who didn't listen and kept telling me I was depressed or menopausal. Dr. Najmey came to a diagnosis after ordering the right tests and careful deliberation of all the facts in front of her. Dr. Najmey is in the business for the right reason- she wants to help you!
