Family Planning/ Contraception

Lifeline Medical Associates physicians can help you make informed decisions about when and if you want children. Understanding your options and planning for the family you want are important aspects of maintaining your health and well-being throughout all stages of your life.

Find A Provider

Why do you need family planning healthcare services?

About half of the pregnancies in the US each year are unintended. When you are better prepared for your pregnancy mentally and physically, you and your baby can get the quality preconception and prenatal care you both need to keep everyone safe and healthy.

Pregnancy spacing is another important aspect of family planning that a physician can help you plan. It’s recommended that pregnancies are spaced at least 18 months apart. Depending on your situation, you may need to, or want to, space your pregnancies even further apart.

If you have decided you do not want to have children, a professional healthcare provider will guide you through your options for birth control. Your physician will get to know you to develop a personalized plan that works for you, keeping in mind your medical situation as well as other factors in your life.

Pap Smear

He did everything with ease and kept my mind off the exam while still being thorough!

Timely and all questions answered

OB Care

Dr Russo has been one of the most amazing, caring, doctors through all my medical issue.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Dr Russo always takes the time to ask about how I am doing and always shows concern. Never feel rushed. He is very kind.

Childbirth / Labor & Delivery

Dr. Culen and entire team at Morristown OB has been attentive and compassionate throughout my pregnancy, delivery and postpartum care. I couldn’t have asked for a better team.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bani Sarma for almost 2 decades now. She is a great doctor who is very knowledgeable, kind and thorough.

Staff and Dr. Larkin ask good, thorough questions and take the time they need to be sure everything is OK. Their attention to detail is excellent.

Love Dr Bowers! She makes personal connections to her patients. She was through and knowledgeable

I felt very comfortable, calm, and taken care of. Courtney and her assistant were so friendly, thorough, and nice!

Lab Work

I love Dr. Russo but the wait time is always a problem,

Melissa and the staff are always wonderful. I started off with Dr Kean Chong 22 years ago. I have had nothing but a wonderful experience.

Nancy answered my questions and provided my annual exam. She was running a bit late due to child care issues. While she was pleasant (and always is), the support staff were unfriendly - no smiles, no good mornings, finger pointing (check-out window was closed, instead of opening it and saying how may I assist, the woman simply pointed to where I needed to be).

Dr. Manzi is easy going which created a stress free atmosphere and the experience was nice and quick.

Ashley is always so easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable at the appointment.

Dr Hersh is just the best

Quick visit and minimal wait time
