Warm words from the families we care for.
Dr. Alex and his staff have always returned my phone calls or requests for school physical forms in a timely manner. Dr. Alex is a devoted doctor.
Dr. Meli is amazing. She always takes her time to know each child and what their needs are. I would not trust my children with anyone else!
My son is 2 1/2, and he felt comfortable with Dr. Rahmet right away. He even asked for her after he left the office! She gives great advice and is not too pushy.

About NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid)
NJ FamilyCare is New Jersey's Medicaid and CHIP program, run by the state Department of Human Services. It provides free or low-cost health coverage to eligible children, pregnant women, and families. Children under 19 can qualify with family incomes up to 355% of the federal poverty level — for a family of four, that's roughly $9,500 per month. Since January 2023, the Cover All Kids initiative extends eligibility to all income-eligible children regardless of immigration status. Enrollment is open year-round.
Who qualifies
Children under 19 who are NJ residents and meet income guidelines. Immigration status is not a factor for children under 19. Apply online at njfamilycare.dhs.state.nj.us, by phone at 1-800-701-0710, or in person at your county welfare office. There is no enrollment window — you can apply any time.
