Ask the Doctor: A New Voice in Women’s Health—Compassionate, Personalized, and Here for You

Stacey A. Anderson, MD, member of RWJBarnabas Health Medical Group, a board-certified gynecologist (GYN) with years of experience providing care to women of all ages, and who sees patients at the Center for Women's Health, 1A Quakerbridge Plaza, in Hamilton, NJ, provides answers on her approach to care and women's health.

Q: What should women look for in a new GYN-and why does it matter?

A: Choosing a GYN is one of the most important decisions a woman can make for her health. This is the physician you trust with deeply personal concerns, preventive care and some of life's most meaningful moments-from routine exams to pregnancy, menopause and everything in between. A great GYN does not just treat conditions-they listen, educate and partner with you to help you feel confident and cared for at every stage of life.

Q: What makes your approach to care different?

A: I believe women deserve more than rushed appointments and one-size-fits-all care. My approach is centered on truly listening-understanding your goals, your concerns and your lifestyle-so we can create a care plan that feels right for you. Whether you're coming in for an annual exam, navigating a new diagnosis, planning a pregnancy or managing symptoms like abnormal bleeding or pelvic pain, my goal is to make sure you feel heard, respected and empowered.

Q: What services can patients expect?

A: I provide comprehensive women's health services, including preventive care, routine screenings, contraception counseling, prenatal and postpartum care, menopause management and evaluation of gynecologic concerns. I also focus on early detection and education-because when we catch issues early, outcomes are better and options are broader. Just as important, I strive to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment where no question is too small or too sensitive.

Q: Many women delay care-what would you say to them?

A: You are not alone. Busy schedules, uncertainty or even past experiences can make it easy to put off care. But your health matters-not just when something feels wrong, but proactively. Regular visits allow us to build a relationship, establish a baseline and address concerns before they become bigger issues. Taking that first step can profoundly change your long-term health and well-being.

Q: What can a new patient expect at their first visit?

A: Your first visit is about getting to know you. We will talk through your health history, any concerns you have and your goals moving forward. You will never feel rushed. My priority is making sure you leave feeling informed, comfortable and confident in your care plan.

Q: Why is now the right time to establish care?

A: Access to a trusted GYN close to home makes it easier to stay consistent with your health. As I begin serving this community, I am committed to building lasting relationships with my patients-grounded in trust, communication and high-quality care. Whether you're new to the area, looking for a fresh perspective or haven't seen a provider in years, this is the perfect time to prioritize yourself.
