Hackensack Meridian Health - Ocean Care Center

Went to Brick Hospital ER which was an absolute joke. There must have been over 70 people there. Waited til the next morning and came here. What an amazing experience!!! From check in to check out, everything went well. They were extremely professional yet very caring. I feel like they treated me as if I was a member of their family. I would highly recommend them.

We had a medical emergency (not life-threatening but with blood loss, broken bone and pain) and felt so fortunate to have this ER so close by. Because it is a satellite ER and not a big hospital, there was practically NO waiting time and we were helped immediately and my husband got quick first aid - pain treatment, assessment, X-ray and consult with a specialist. We ended up having to go to another hospital nearby for special surgery afterwards but it made such a difference to be seen and treated right away. Staff was professional and great.

I recently sent my injured, elderly relative to the Ocean Care Center. It turned out that her injury was possibly life threatening. If not for the compassionate, prompt, and skilled care she received, she may have had severe consequences. Nurse Janet, PA Anthony Burdo and Emergency Physician Dr. Lacher worked swiftly to move my family member into a critical care area and worked tirelessly to treat her injuries and render care. We are beyond grateful that this satellite ED was open and the staff are immediately available to stabilize and treat severe injuries. Dr. Lacher and Anthony called us and kept us informed and we are forever grateful for their patience and concern.

Dr Britt Lacher was truly a lifesaver. Her compassion and decency is unsurpassed. I was treated with kindness and respect by Dr. Lacher and the nurse. They worked well as a team to meet medical needs and make me feel comfortable and cared for when I was concerned. She quickly figured out my diagnosis when others could not. I highly recommend her and Ocean Care Center.
