I have been desperately looking for a doctor in Monmouth County that accepts Medicaid or Horizon NJ FamilyCare. I found a doctor in Livingston, NJ but that is like a 2hr. drive in rush hour for me and I just can't imagine I will be able to make that trip for several appts. let alone if I need to make weekly trips to get me fills. I called all the local hospitals to see which doctors were associated with them, I also called my insurance company but their list of doctors was not right. Anyone who knows of any doctors in the area I would love a little help. My current appt. in Livingston is scheduled for July 5th. So I have until then I suppose to find a better/closer fit.

I'm not sure if my doctor does, but it's worth a shot! It's Dr. Kipnis and he is in Neptune, NJ right down the road from Jersey Shore hospital. He has been awesome!!! 732-775-5005...worth calling and asking because his office staff and him are excellent! I have Atena insurance.

Thanks! I Actually saw his name listed by someone else and called him earlier. they don't actually take my insurance. I was so wishing they did. I hate that I have to take this drive. Thanks anyway though, I appreciate your reply!

I use Dr. Samuel Wasser in Moorestown...on the border by Mt. Laurel. Take 295 South to the exit for Route 38. His office is right by the exit. I have Horizon NJ Direct Access.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Megan, will check it out!

I'm almost positive Dr. Karl Strom with monmouth bariatrics takes almost every insurance. He has offices in holmdel which is central ( that's where I'm going ) he has offices at bay shore hospital. Check it out, good luck !

Monmouth County.....I use Central Jersey Bariatrics at Centre State Hospital in Freehold....they also have a office near Bayshore Hospital in Keyport.....

Is you Horizon NJ Health your Medicaid ***? In other words you are 100% Medicaid with no other primary....I would definitely give them a call...

Ksaug, I also used dr kipnis! Was banded on the 30th! I really like him alot and his staff is really friendly... Where are you from? Anywhere around here?

stephanie0456, I was banded 4/29! LOL. I'm in Point Pleasant! You?

Thanks everyone! @skinnyboundsky I actually had my seminar with Dr. Strom. He was really nice and answered all my questions, but no they don't accept my insurance either. @B-52 I actually have Horizon BCBS Familycare is the *** Primary, Medicaid is the provider I guess they call it. I have pretty much given up on my search for a local doctor at this point, so I am just going to keep my appt. in West orange. They are a center of Excellence and they seem nice enough. I just dread the drive on any regular basis.
