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 Pesso is the nicest, most caring and compassionate doctor! He is also professional, thorough, and a good listener who takes the time to answer all your questions, weigh the pros and cons regarding tests, and alleviate any concerns you’re having. His staff is friendly and capable.

Dr. Pesso is hands down one of the best doctors you will meet. His soft spoken nature, attention to detail and proactive approach to women's health is exceptional. His 30 years in medicine is demonstrated in his care. The best thing you can do as a woman for your gynecological health is schedule an appointment.

I have been going to Dr. Pesso for over 20 years and I refer to him as "the smartest man alive." Now that my daughters are old enough, they go to him as well and we can all agree, you won't have the pleasure of meeting a better doctor. He is the most respectful, caring, and knowledgeable doctor I have ever encountered. Make an appointment - you won't be disappointed.

I've been going to Dr. Pesso for approx 6 yrs since I relocated from NY. I was concerned that I would have a problem finding a gynecologist that I would be comfortable with. Dr. Pesso is an exceptionally knowledgeable and caring doctor who takes time listen to your concerns. He also takes the time to explain results and never rushes until he is satisfied you completely understand test results, and in some cases, options, etc. His follow up on tests is amazing. He is very gentle and has a pleasant personality that makes your visit very comfortable. Dr. Pesso has performed a couple of procedures on me and could not have been more gentle. Everyone in the office is pleasant and the office is clean. I couldn't be more pleased .

Dr. Pesso has been my GYN for 14 years and I trust him 100%. I have referred a few friends over the years who also love his gentle bedside manner. He definitely takes him time, explains what's going on and makes sure you are an active participant in your own healthcare and treatment approaches. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

Watch this practice. Since dr. S left they never notified me and rescheduled my appointment with this doctor whom I never seen. Also this was done without my approval. Very unprofessional. Office personnel very abrupt when I questioned them about this new appointment and who authorized it.

The best of the best!! I went to Dr Pesso from my late teens to early 30's. He has the most amazing bedside manner and a way of making an appt go by in a snap. Sadly, I moved over an hour away from Toms River and haven't found an equivalent Dr yet!
