Brescia Mark, MD

Dr. Moon has been very nice. Can’t complain about him, he listens, he’s caring and doesn’t rush you out. The staff is very unprofessional & not polite. They all need customer service training. But I give 5 stars for Dr. Moon! Went to Samantha Lowe yesterday because Dr. Moon was not in & never again will I put a foot in that office!!! OBNOXIOUS, RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, UNPLEASANT DOCTOR SHE IS. It seems they all hate their job!!! ONLY reason I will stay with this practice is because of Dr. Moon & will now start going to a different location.

This review is for the doctors. I love the practice. I’ve seen almost every doctor in the practice at one time or another. Have never had an issue with being switched last minute although I do believe that people who complain about that have to understand that these doctors are in hospitals with emergencies all day too. So last minute changes can happen as a result and that is not a reflection on poor planning. That’s just the nature of the beast. Dr. Moon delivered by son by emergency c-​section and was wonderful about it. Dr. Breschia is very sweet and listens. Dr. Chinn is an absolute doll and very patient. Dr. Picard is sweet, informative, and knowledgable. Dr. Lowe is very nice and seems young, but knows her stuff. I can’t express how much I appreciate their bedside manners and willingness to answer questions. That may have something to do with the wait time, but keep in mind that they give you the same attention when it’s your turn. The office staff needs some work, but they can be very helpful. I think people forget that they shouldn’t treat them like crap from the get go. I’ve seen moms go in there and have a demanding, rude attitude without reason or simply because they didn’t understand the insurance/​billing/​etc. and I have never seen them react nastily back. They are very busy and the wait time can be long, but it’s not always like that. Sometimes you are seen almost immediately. It definitely depends on the kinds of emergencies they are having throughout the day. Now keep in mind that when it’s your turn, you want doctors that will come to you quickly and be there for you too. It also speaks volumes about how much they are loved that so many patients sit for a long time to wait for their doctors. I’ve done it. And I’ll do it again if needed because I know that they worth it. The bathroom can get dirty, but I’ll be very honest, that says EVERYTHING about the women who go in there to use the facility and leave it nasty. I’ve watched women walk out without washing their hands, without flushing, throwing paper on the floor and not picking it up, peeing off the toilet and not having the decency to wipe down. I’ve even seen women leave those special wipe packets out for when they have to sanitize prior to a pee sample. The office staff always attends to it if they are notified that the bathroom is looking gross or if they walk in themselves to use it and see it. That is a reflection on the nasty women who have no courtesy for other women. The same goes in every other public bathroom I’ve ever been in. The women make the mess and are nasty. My mother raised me better than that. I will never walk out of a bathroom leaving it looking it nasty. So before you accuse the staff, take a look at your own habits and notice who is making the mess. And I’ve certainly waited in the city for longer than what people complain about here and for lesser quality doctors and staff so I highly recommend their practice.

Review is for specifically Dr. Brescia, who is just amazing. He is a great and knowledgable doctor who has compassion for his patients. Excellent bedside manner.
You really don’t need/​look for much more in a doctor. He’s got it all.

This review is not for the wonderful doctors on staff but for the inexcusable office staff. I had a first time appointment with Dr Chinn (I prefer a female dr). I waited about 80 minutes. Finally called in, nurse took my weight, blood pressure, etc. She was great. Then a male doctor walked in and started chatting over my chart. I thought maybe since it was my first time at their practice maybe I speak with more than one physican? I didn’t know what was going on. I was in shock and kept smiling, answering questions and then he went down for the pap. Woa! A female nurse came in to watch the male dr too. Mind you, the doctor was great… but when you expect a female doc and a male comes in, I was not happy. Apparently they switch in and out doctors a lot. Still waiting for a call back on a mandatory follow up appointment and I left them a message 4 days ago… PLEASE HIRE NEW OFFICE STAFF!!!

I strongly believe this practice is going down the drains, it was great back in 2012 but now it’s way too crowded and there is no personal attention provided, they don’t care about the patients, starting rite from the reception staff, ultrasound tech to the nurses, all are rude and also sometimes talk rude to hide their mistakes. I am in my second pregnancy suffering with hypermisis and the nurse was reluctant to return my calls for 2 days in row when I needed her to verify the nausea medication especially when I was left to do pharmacy searching on my own for the medication prescribed and not easily available, on a separate incident one of the new doctors in the practice met me and expressed her dissatisfaction at the maintenance and update of the patient records by the staff, if you have a choice please go elsewhere, some of us living in Hoboken are stuck with them.

My doctor is Dr. Moon. He is a GREAT doctor but. I must say if it wasn’t for him, I would not still be a patient here! I had 2 horrible experiences at my suppose to be «joyous moments». The ultrasound tech named Sheri must not be a happy camper! She never wants to give me pictures, gave my husband and I a bad attitude, and just seems overall miserable! I brought my mother in with my husband and I at the anatomy scan (3^rd ultrasound so far) being that its suppose to be the longest/​most detailed ultrasound. And she was 1 hour and 45 minutes late! I was her first appointment of the day (8am) she didn’t get there till a quarter to 10!!! My husband missed his day of pay because SHE was late! Go figure! Hence why I made the appointment at 8am!!! She came in and saw my mother with us this time, and refused to perform an ultrasound for me. WHY? Scared my mother knows about you already? So someone else had to do it, oh that was after the staff insisted me rescheduling for another appointment AFTER I had already waited nearly 2 hours. Now the staff? Where should I start? Well I worked for a doctors office and when it comes to scheduling, the schedule goes as far as 2 years ahead. If its 2015, you can make an appointment for 2016 being that at ESPECIALLY GYNO offices that you only go once a year you people usually make an appointment for the following year! So why doesn’t this office at least have the next months schedule made? Yes I said it. They don’t even have NEXT MONTHS schedule up! So let’s say its March 4^th and you want to make an appointment for April 2^nd as doctor requested. You can’t ! You can’t till the last week of March which by then. Good luck getting the appointment day you want! This happend to me every month of my pregnancy, «schedules not up call at the end of the month» I asked them one time, this is a facility where woman have to make appointments every single month. Why isn’t the whole year up?” Sooooo. One day I had a checkup on June 15^th (true story) had already made an appointment for my anatomy scan July 1^st (so July is obviously up and running) at the end of my June 15^th app I go up to the desk to make an appointment for 4 weeks for another check up appointment. Girl goes July isn’t up yet call next week, then goes back to talking, I say EXCUSE MEEEEEEE I’m still here!!! HELLO Yes Hi ! First of all you didn’t take my co pay, second of all don’t pull that shit because I already have an appointment for July, so apparently it is up. Now please make my appointment. I’m sure your conversation could wait! Doctor Moon is lucky I LOVE HIM !!!

Wonderful practice with caring and professional doctors. Extra points for ease of booking and always seeming to run on or close to on time. Also, the office is very well appointed and clean. I recently went to my GP in the city and noticed that he had a far less hygienic-​feeling facility (I am thinking of switching because I was honestly a little skeeved). All I could think of was the stark difference at the always spotless Brescia Migliaccio office. More importantly, the doctors in this practice are highly competent and for several of them, their bedside manner stands out. Dr. Moon is wonderful as is Dr. Migliaccio and, of course, Dr. Brescia, who is an absolute gem all around.

Love all the doctors in this practice — and would recommend them to anyone expecting! Had a lovely experience with the birth of my first child (thank you Dr. Chin!) and have been pleased again the second go round. Happy they now offer ultrasound appointments in office as well.

This is the worst and most unprofessional staff I have ever encountered. I waited over 2 hrs for my appt and after asking the receptionist several times about the wait she told me I must be next since my file was not there they must have take it aready. After over 2 hrs I said I couldn’t wait anymore and they discovered that they never pulled my chart at all! They were all talking and eating cupcake at the front desk the whole time and were very unprofessional and seemed not to care at all. They the. Told me a had to see a new male dr bc my dr still had to see 2 patients before me even though I’ve waited for over 2 hrs. Walked out and Will never go back. They all need to be fired

I see Dr. Moon who is a very decent person and has always been very good. However, this office is so overbooked, I haven’t waited less than ONE HOUR when I go for an appt even at 10am. I think the office is not run well which is a shame since he is a good doctor.

I had been going to the office for years. This used to be a top notch practice however as the practice grows the service and level of sensitivity towards the patients goes down the toilet!!! Last year I went to palisades medical to have a routine ultra sound at 12 weeks and found out the baby had died. One of the doctors from the practice was right down stairs delivering a baby. After leaving us waiting in our time of grief for over an hour he does not even bother to come upstairs and talk with me face to face. He decides that this was a conversation best left to a phone call. To top it all off on the day of the D&C the doctor I was expecting did not show up. Instead a doctor I has never met show up and say well there was a scheduling conflict and all doctors are the same for this type of procedure. I get you are busy but give me a break, show a little sensitivity! I have since started seeing another doctor.

This practice is amazing and I don’t think my words can truly express how much I love these doctors especially Dr. Mark Brescia. I have been going to Dr. Brescia for 20 years. He has watched me go through various stages of my life, including the birth of my child. He is one of the most caring, gentle, patient and informative doctor I have ever known. I am known for showing up with a list of questions, especially during my pregnancy, and he always takes time, not only to answer each and every one of them in detail but to provide me with literature as well. He is extremely thorough as well. For instance, since I was a teenager, I often had fainting spells and despite going to multiple doctors for the issue, Dr. Brescia in conjunction with a cardiologist that he recommended, discovered what I had and he treated my pregnancy accordingly and with success thereafter. Luckily, it is nothing serious but it could have had negative consequences during my pregnancy but due to his diligence and dedication, I had a wonderful pregnancy. Dr. Brescia is very easy to talk to and puts his patients interest before his own as he is not afraid to call his patients directly, if necessary. While he may have a nurse make the call, he takes the time and care to do it himself, which is priceless considering the volume of work and patients he has. I have recommended him to many friends and have not heard bad reviews yet. As for the other doctors in the practice, Dr. Miggliaccio performed my C-​section and I must say that he is a magician when it comes to that procedure. I had absolutely no post partum complications from the surgery and went back to driving and walking about in about a week. More importantly, my scar was completely gone in less than a year. I suppose that may also have to do with my skin’s recovery and healing process but his incision was small and very thin. The nurses at the hospital even told me that I was in the best hands for a C-​section. Dr. Moon and Dr. Piccard are also very sweet, patient and kind. The staff is great, always willing to answer any question calmly and patiently. Shaniqua however, is my favorite nurse. She has been there for decades and is the sweetest nurse I have ever met. I highly recommend this clinic. When it comes to quality of care, you will not be disappointed. There is often a wait however, but it is reasonable and to be expected considering how much the practice has grown in the past 20 years. Their is heavy traffic all the time, even in the early mornings but its worth it.

Dr. Moon is the best! I’m not sure what else I can say about him besides that. He is patient, friendly, caring and very smart. The location is convenient — right on Washington in Hoboken. The waiting room is spacious and clean. I referred my best friend here — 5 stars!

I love everyone in this practice. My main experience i s with Dr. Moon, who is an angel. Unfortunately, I lost my baby in –utero while I was 34 weeks. Dr. Moon, rushed to my side on his day off, and was available to me the whole time I was in the hospital. Everyone in this staff are absolutely wonderful and kind and I love them.

I moved away from Hoboken (I live on the UES now) and the ONLY thing I miss is this office. They are so sweet, so kind, and so SENSITIVE to their patients’ needs. Whether it’s squeezing you in last-​minute for an appointment, calling in your birth control for you when your Rx has run out, or just plain getting a HOLD of a nurse to talk to (which is harder than it seems at other offices!!!) this place really has their shit together. I especially love Dr. Chin, who solved my acne/​birth control issues once and for all after years of struggling. I was prompted to write this Unilocal review when I needed an emergency Rx called in for me this morning and couldn’t get a hold of anyone at my normal doctor’s office, except the powerless receptionist, who was a brick wall. I have a huge meeting today at work and was freaking out about not getting the pill I needed in time, and I didn’t see any other option than to go to the emergency room, and then the light bulb went off and I thought: what about Dr. Brescia’s office? And sure enough, bam, minutes later, the Rx had been called in and everything was okay. No drama, no hassle. THANK YOU, Dr. Brescia & co! Special shout-​out to the always-​present, always-​available nurse’s station that actually answers the phone and answers questions. You guys rock! Maybe I’ll move back one day :)

4 out of the 5 doctors are nice enough but I have ALWAYS had a very long wait. I have had to leave after an hour of waiting and come back at a different date before. It is super frustrating to leave work in the middle of the day only to not be seen because they are so far behind. If I wasn’t so far into my pregnancy I would change doctors. I wish I already had…
