Meridian Medical Group’s Primary Care Office on Hooper Avenue Moved, Effective May 1

The Meridian Medical Group primary care office of Diane Verga, M.D. and Satish Bhutani, M.D. has relocated to a more spacious office at 1868 Hooper Avenue in Toms River as of May 1 to better accommodate patients and their growing practice.

Dr. Verga says of the half-mile move, “With the larger facility we will now be able to get patients in the exam rooms quicker and reduce the overall wait time. This will enhance our patients’ experience as we continue to dedicate our practice to being an uppermost resource of health and wellness for the community.”

Offering services that include same day sick visits, routine well visits, vaccinations and flu shots, lab draws, and minor skin procedures, both Dr. Verga and Bhutani welcome new patients at 1868 Hooper Avenue.

In the near future, the practice anticipates welcoming a new highly-experienced provider and offering both extended hours and weekend availability. “We are excited about these changes to our growing practice, as we will now be able to offer our patients better access to care,” Dr. Verga happily comments.
