Obstetrical Emergencies and Labor

Always call the office first. If the office is not open, the answering service will pick up. Tell them that you are pregnant and that it’s an emergency and they will put you in contact with Dr. Dresdner. For many emergencies, an emergency room visit is not necessary and we will see you in the office without an appointment. If you feel that you cannot wait until the office is open, and you are pregnant, go to the Emergency Room at Clara Maass Medical Center and tell them that your doctor is Dr. Michael Dresdner and they will reach out and find your doctor. Any care provided to you will be under Dr. Dresdner’s supervision and they will not discharge you without consulting Dr. Dresdner. They will give you instructions for appropriate follow-up appointments at the office.

Please note that if you are an obstetrical patient of our practice, and you are heading to the hospital, you must request to be taken to Clara Maass Medical Center. Please remember that if you call an ambulance, they may not take you to the hospital of your choice. If you go to a hospital other than Clara Maass Medical Center, South Orange OB/GYN cannot direct your care or be responsible for the care that is given to you.
