Amanda Francis, DO — Local services in Warren Township

My first prenatal visit with Dr. Amanda Francis was in early 2022 and it was extremely concerning. It was early in the morning and I had not eaten breakfast or had any water yet. I did not know bloodwork would be done at this appointment. Despite telling her and the staff that I hadn’t eaten or hydrated, she ordered 13 vials of blood.

The nurse missed the vein on the first attempt, drew 10 vials on the second attempt, and then told me I needed 3 more poking me a third time. I became extremely lightheaded and passed out for 3–5 minutes, experiencing hot and cold flashes. My fiancé was not allowed in the room until after I lost consciousness.

Dr. Francis was also condescending regarding my personal decision about the COVID vaccine during my first trimester. The combination of dismissive communication and unsafe handling of bloodwork left me feeling ignored and at risk.

Months later still in 2022 after reporting her to my insurance and RWJ, I received a letter stating she was no longer affiliated with the hospital. Yet during a recent ER visit in August 2025 for spotting which had been going on for 3 weeks I was told she was the only doctor available for spontaneous delivery at triage. The head nurse at RWJ said that my letter wasn’t true and that never happened(I’ve attached the photo and see for yourself). I was 23 weeks pregnant, 1 cm dilated, and still discharged with my questions unanswered. I chose to go home rather than be seen by her, because I refuse to put my safety or my baby’s safety in her hands again.

For my safety and my baby’s safety, I will only seek maternity care from providers and hospitals not affiliated with Dr. Francis or RWJ. I strongly encourage expecting mothers to research carefully before choosing...

This was a tough choice, Dr. Francis was great when I saw her....the rest of the office staff is completely unprofessional and disorgazined (RWJBH Warren, NJ). My very first appointment with them and the doors were locked. As I walked to different offices in the shared space, I was told no one was inside yet. Luckily as I was heading back to my car, someone was unlocking the front door. As I came in with the staff member she shouted that I had an appointment and the receptionist said we do not have anyone until 9, my appointment was for 8:30, so I pulled up the reminder in my phone and read it to the receptionist, and miraculousy she goes oh, Tia. I said yeah....Tia. Anywho, visit went exceptionally well with Dr. Francis and we came up with a game plan. In 3 months, I would follow up with her. Called to set up the follow up, and they had no record of my last visit and told me to contact my Gyn Onc....why do I need to see my Gyn Onc for a follow up on something that isn't cancer related, that was discussed with a doctor at their facility? So I told them what Dr. Francis and I discussed and what the follow up was for and was told I would need to speak to a nurse before I could schedule a follow up with Dr. Francis. Do you know they did not have a nurse call me until over a week later?!?!? As someone with some scary medical history they lost me as a patient. I do not have time to play with my health because you are...

Reading reviews some of the people had left made me feel awful. This doctor practically saved my and my baby’s lives. While I was in delivery room I had multiple people coming in but no one leaving. You can only imagine how I, soon-to-be-mom, felt when there is clearly an issue but no one knew what to do. Then Dr. Francis came in and solved the issue within minutes and my baby and I were ok.

She is not rude-she just says things like they are, which is what I like about anyone ESPECIALLY my doctor (my results came back bad and she told me to get ready for insulin prescription even though another doctor was taking weeks to come up with the same answer I got from doctor Francis). Waiting for some people seem to be an issue, well, any other doctor would make you wait as well. In fact, the longer the wait the more you can be sure that people are coming to see THIS doctor and not anyone else. In my view, more people coming, the better the doctor. Her staff is very nice and extremely polite.

It’s a shame that those with positive experience rarely leave reviews (it’s a fact) and those with a little inconvenience tend to write paragraphs. I’m only leaving this review because I forgot her phone number and as I was looking it up noticed review before mine. She is an awesome doctor and I would be recommending her to everyone I know that is in...
