Dr. Adam Shoman, MD

I did a lot of research in looking for the right OB as this is my first pregnancy and I’m considered high risk (over 35). He is a great doctor. I’m 39 ½ weeks pregnant and am thankful that I had a doctor as knowledgable, caring, friendly, and attentive as doctor Shoman to walk me through the process. He is on the more conservative side but I’m ok with that given that I am considered high risk and our goal is to deliver a healthy baby.
His staff is very friendly; they remember you by name when you get into the office and also when you call for an appointment. I’ve had no problems making appointments even on the same day. He returns phone calls on weekends. He has an office in Hoboken and is affiliated with both Hackensack Medical University Hospital and Jersey City Medical.

I really cannot say enough great things about this man and his practice. He was my ob for my first child 7.5 yrs. ago and I am now back with my second pregnancy. I currently see him at his Hackensack office.
He is very attentive, caring, and kind. I don’t write too many reviews, only when I really feel it necessary. This is one of those times. To put it simply, all subsequent children I have will be delivered by him and anytime I am asked for a referral for an ob, he is the only name I give.
Although he has many great qualities as an ob, I appreciate most his ability to listen without judgement and the fact that he doesn’t ‘push’ all sorts of unnecessary tests, pills, prenatal vitamins, etc. just to make more money off of you. Kind and honest doctors are sadly hard to come by these days…

Thought I had found a great doctor until now! I am having issues that I need addressed and after scheduling an appointment I get a phone call saying he is not seeing anyone unless they are pregnant. No notification what so ever to his current patients and I am now left scrambling to find another doctor asap to deal with this issue. Great service Doc… wouldn’t waste my time here!
Follow-​up *** After begging to be seen, I was told they could squeeze me in until they read my review and have now cancelled my appointment and are refusing treatment. If you want a doctor who puts his ego ahead of patient care then by all means take the risk. This «Dr» and I use that term lightly is willing to let me continue to suffer as I can not find anyone in the area (within a 25 mile radius) who will do the procedure I need

I made a Unilocal account just to share the experience I just had today. I’ve been a gynecological patient of Dr. Shoman’s since September 2015 and have seen him three times since then. My last appointment was a month ago. I recently scheduled a follow-​up appointment to that one for later this week, and it was confirmed by ZocDoc this morning — only for me to get a call from his office that if I wasn’t pregnant, they couldn’t help. Apparently he had decided to focus on his obstetrics rather than his gynecological practice, and they simply decided not to inform any of his current gynecological patients that he would no longer see them. Incredibly unprofessional, totally ridiculous. It’s a shame, really, since his staff are such nice people.
Aside from this, at my last appointment he brusquely convinced me to switch birth control methods (while being fairly dismissive of my concerns with it) and promised me that if I didn’t like it, I could tell him and we could switch back, no problems. I guess not! What a mess.

I can not say enough good things about Dr. Shoman and the entire office! I’ve lived in Hoboken for 6 years and have gone to Riverside Medical, specifically Dr. Tully. A friend recommended I ditch Riverside for Dr. Shoman and I am so glad I did. He treats patients like HUMANS! His bedside manner is incredible. He is understanding, warm, caring, empathetic, and clearly an expert in his field. After my appointment he took me into his office so we could discuss treatment, get my perspective on the situation, etc. He is very caring! Additionally the nurses and staff are beyond great! My visit was an all around fantastic experience and I can’t recommend Dr. Shoman enough!

I went to see Dr. Shoman because I’ve been experiencing some unusual side effects of my Mirena IUD, so I wanted to have it taken out. Instead of listening to my issues with the Mirena and helping me find a solution he told me that I «shouldn’t be having side effects».
I didn’t realize side effects like extreme cramping, mood swings & night sweats were my fault. So thankful that he could point out why this is actually not a Mirena problem and really just my body’s problem. So, to reassure me that everything is just in my head like the silly girl I am, he wrote me a prescription for Prozac.
You know, us ladies just need a man to tell us why we’re wrong & to heavily medicate us. He’s just that kind of doctor.
Oh, and don’t get me started on tweedle dee & tweedle dum in the reception area! They charged me $ 5 extra for using my debit card instead of cash to pay. I’ve never heard of a cash-​only doctor, but it sounds like something that existed when abortions were illegal.
Go to this doctor at your own risk.
