Although her son was kept in the neonatal intensive care unit for an extended stay, he is now at home with his new family, including his twin sister. Upon talking with Melissa recently, she informed our office that she and the twins are doing very well and that she is extremely grateful to Dr. Quartell for the thorough and comprehensive care he gave her during her pregnancy and delivery. Good things do really come in small packages and in this case, two very special, beautiful packages! Anthony C.

Posted in obstetrical, surgery | No Comments » Miracle BabyMonday, February 4th, 2013 Although Dr. Anthony Quartell receives many thoughtful thank you cards on a regular basis, he was particularly delighted with one he received this week. It came from a mother of one of Dr. Quartell’s obstetrical patients who recently gave birth to a healthy baby girl after previously having a miscarriage. After having tried to become pregnant for some time, the patient’s ultimate success was short lived when she had a miscarriage two years ago. However, after undergoing surgery to remove fibroids in her uterus, this lovely patient finally became pregnant again and subsequently gave birth to her first child- a beautiful, healthy baby girl. The patient’s mother referred to Dr. Quartell as “St. Anthony” and indicated that her daughter’s life is now complete. She concluded by sending him God’s blessing – and in her exact words “that he keep you in good health so you can continue helping other patients.” Its letters like this one, that point out that there are still wonderful miracles taking place every day and especially in this day and age, when we can all use a miracle every now and then- even if its just hearing about someone elses- that it makes all of the hard work worth it!

Posted in obstetrical | No Comments » Patient’s twins are now 21 years oldTuesday, December 18th, 2012 The other day a long time patient of Dr. Anthony Quartell’s came to our office with her two lovely 21 year old daughters. These girls presented Dr. Quartell with a very kind thank you card indicating how grateful they were that Dr. Quartell was their mother’s physician 21 years ago. Having had a difficult pregnancy which consisted of many extra hospital stays and careful monitoring of her condition, our patient was able to deliver two premature baby girls substantially ahead of the due date. Despite the complications of our patient’s pregnancy, her daughters have grown into healthy and beautiful young women who have a bright future ahead of them. We can only hope that more stories turn out so successful. Our office wishes everyone a happy holiday no matter which holiday you celebrate. Hoping for a new year ahead -in 2013- that is filled with love and compassion for everyone and hope for a better world to bring our children into. Anthony C.

Posted in Uncategorized, obstetrical | No Comments » Fibroadenoma in a young patientTuesday, July 24th, 2012 Upon her breast evaluation by Marisa Hamrah, the Nurse Practitioner in our office, Jennie asked if genetic screening, as recommended by her breast specialist, could be performed. Although Marisa does perform BRACA testing (genetic screening for cancer when family history indicates breast, ovarian and colon cancer exist), she hesitated to recommend it for Jennie- as Jennie is only 18 years of age. It was Jennie who noticed the first breast lump a year ago and has since followed up with Marisa for her regular follow up appointments. Jennie is an example of an informed patient who is aware of the consequences of NOT performing self breast exams and failing to see a gynecologist regularly. Because she is diligent and smart enough to care about and take charge of her own health, Jennie will continue to monitor the progress of her benign breast disease so that it does not lead to something worse down the road. Marisa Hamrah has been with Anthony Quartell, MD & Associates for more than five years and is a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner (NP) who specializes in Women’s Health. Anthony C.

Posted in obstetrical | No Comments » Patients are pleased with our Nurse PractitionerTuesday, June 12th, 2012 When Jill first came to see our NP (Nurse Practitioner), Marisa Hamrah, she was hesitant about seeing a NP versus Dr. Anthony Quartell since he came so highly recommended to her by her mom’s friends and co-workers. Because she would have had to wait a little longer to see Dr. Quartell and she had limited availability, she agreed to see Marisa. After the visit, she thanked Marisa for the great care she received and stated the following ” I was so nervous to have my gynecological exam to begin with but you made me feel so comfortable. Since we are around the same age and you have young children I felt that you could relate to me and my issues and it made the whole experience go so pleasantly and smoothly.” Jill is now a regular patient of Marisa’s and has even referred two of her girlfriends to Marisa. Marisa is a licensed Nurse Practitioner and is able to perform exams and procedures in the state of New Jersey.

Posted in Colposcopy, gynecological problem, obstetrical, surgery, urinary problem | No Comments » Follow up is an important step toward good health.Monday, April 16th, 2012 Although many patients are good about making preventive care appointments and problem appointments when they have concerns or issues to address, they often fall short on the follow up step for further testing or evaluation as per their healthcare provider’s instructions. For example, if a patient comes to the physician complaining of chronic pelvic pain and the physician orders a gynecological ultrasound as part of the diagnostic process and after discussing those results the patient is instructed to return in 3 months for a follow up scan, it is expected that the patient will make that appointment. However, many times upon reviewing patient files, our nurses will find that the patient has yet to be re-tested and consequently, the nurses will call the patient several times or even as a last effort to remind the patient of her duty to take care of herself first- which is a difficult thing to do for many women who are mothers, wives, daughters, sisters first, our nurses will even send out letters to urge the patient to follow up on her own health care. Our providers and nurses do not stop until they have exhausted every effort to get the patient to follow up on her own health needs. In this busy day and age when many women are stretched thin already, it seems harder to find time to follow up on their own health needs but putting it off can only have negative consequences for everyone close to them.

Posted in obstetrical | No Comments » Patients praise Dr. Anthony Quartell for the wonderful prenatal care they receivedTuesday, December 13th, 2011 Upon her post partum visit with Dr. Anthony Quartell yesterday at his Livingston Office, Andrea gave thanks to Dr. Quartell and his staff for the wonderful care she feels she received during her pregnancy. ” I came to see Dr. Quartell after I complained to a good friend of mine about the obstetrician who delivered my first child two years ago. My friend insisted I see Dr. Quartell since he delivered her three children and she had felt he was attentive, caring and thorough in handling her pregnancies. After taking her advice, I can tell you that she was right. Not only did I feel safe under his care, but his nurses and nurse practitioner, as well as the rest of the staff , treated me as if I was their only patient and I am well aware that is not the case. I truly had a wonderful experience and would not hesitate to refer him to anyone looking for the best care possible. ” Anthony C.
