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.

A Genuine Life Saver!
Going to Dr. Pemberton has put me on the path to a much healthier life. Dr. Pemberton accepted me as a new patient right after being released from the hospital due to low blood levels and being diagnosed with Adenomyosis. It was recommended that I look into having a hysterectomy done to regulate blood levels and other things. Dr. Pemberton walked me through the process and performed my surgery effortlessly. I am so grateful for her. My previous Obgyn almost cost me my life. Dr. Pemberton has restored my life! Thank you!

Very unsafe. Office staff does not listen or care about emergencies was having a miscarriage literally told the receptionist I felt like I was dying and she would not squeeze me in for an appointment DID NOT pass on the message to the doctor OR the doctor didn’t care enough to call me. Very stressful place to deal with especially while pregnant. Always received a call back from doctor or receptionist with instructions from doctor when I asked other places t speak to a doctor, absolutely horrible. Stag doesn’t explain anything going on or being done to you you have to ask! I was overcharged $130 then fought with them for 5 weeks trying to get my money back! Disgusting staff.

Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Pemberton and the staff at Artemis. You never feel rushed or overlooked. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They have a birthing center, doulas and a midwife on site for heaven’s sake!! Office, exam rooms and rest rooms are always clean and welcoming. I traveled all the way from PA to continue seeing Dr. Pemberton, that should tell you something!

Dr. Pemberton's service is that of excellence. She is meticulous in providing a safe atmosphere, diligent employees, researched services, warmth in the meeting rooms, and a professional manner when it is needed most. I delivered early twice and the second was high risk. I trusted Dr. Pemberton expertise 100% and those who she left me in the hands of if she was momentarily away. I felt heard, celebrated, and cared for when at my most vulnerable state. I recommended her services of care without any hesitation. Please if in need, stop by for a visit, you will be taken care of and you will not be disappointed.

Waited almost 2 hours for an appointment that took me over 2 months to wait and get in the first place. I couldn't wait any longer (because I do have a life and other obligations) so I cancelled my appointment and rescheduled just for the doctor to keep me waiting for a 15 min facetime appointment. I asked for my copays $$ back and have been calling the office manager Monique for almost 3 weeks now and she hasn't gotten back to me. Highly unprofessional.

After what I went through today at this careless insensitivity place they don't even deserve a one star. I left the office very upset and crying I rush to this facility straight from work at 4:03pm. Thinking that my appointment was at 4:20pm. Sign- in and sat there and watch everyone that came in after me get called into the back room. So around 4:30 I approach the front desk and kindly ask the chubby long straight black hair Hispanic women at the desk do I have a coepay today? She look up at me with a attitude and said "You are just doing OB today." From there I processed back to my chair and continued to wait. Still seating there watching everyone getting called in so around 5pm I went back up to her and ask "miss what time is my appointment I been sitting here for an hour now." She look up at me rolled her eyes with an attitude and said well in the the computer it says 4:50pm did you get a text?" I continue by saying to her I been here for and hour now why could someone just let me

Zero stars... did not follow birth plan... showed up an hour late for the birth while my fiancé was sitting outside in the parking lot with contractions 2 minutes apart... pulled the placenta out of her body did not follow our wishes at all completely disgusted me. If you are willing to do everything her way she is happy we wanted a natural birth and she was angry and bitter the entire time ... bad birth. Not recommended this woman should not be around infants her license needs to be pulled

My first visit to Dr Pemberton office was for a second opinion for my daughter. On that day we was upset and afraid. From the begin to end of our visit on that day Dr Pemberton, calmed down, explain the what and by the end of our visit we had a solution. On that day I became her new patient. She is an awesome doctor. She listen and understand you as a patient. She cares.

Ridiculous wait! If you have an appointment, a person should not wait 2+ hours to be seen. Clearly you are overbooking your appointments if there are no chairs available (20 seats) and there are 5 people standing. Oh did I mention that there are 2 doctors??? Absolutely unprofessional and wasting people's time

In my 36 years, I have found few doctors that takes the time to understand me and my concern. She hears EVERYTHING and she takes her time when she communicates with you. She is very knowledgeable and listens for feedback. If at any point you do not understand she finds a different way to explain until you do. Best doctor. I don't really want to share this because the wait time is lengthy but her expertise is worth the wait.

Dr Pemberten is very nice, sweet and kind doctor. She made me feel relaxed in my labor and delivery. she is very soft spoken and she explained me everything very professionally. Joann midwife working with her is also nice n great person. They both were really friendly and answered my all questions. her staff is nice too and office very nice n clean.

I saw Dr. Pemberton several years ago when she was working with another Gynecologist in his office in Oradell, NJ. I absolutely LOVED her....she made me feel comfortable, had a fabulous bedside manner, and was extremely professional. When I called for my yearly follow-up, I was told Dr. Pemberton was no longer with the practice, and I see here the reason was because she's opened her own office which is too far from my home now. So sorry I lost this one of a kind Doctor, and I will miss her!!!
