Dr. Ruby A. Halper-Erkkila, MD

Dr. Halper is one of two physicians operating as South Branch Family Care. Both doctors provide primary care treatment as well as preventive treatment for their patients. I have been a regular patient of Dr. Halper’s for a number of years. She’s done an excellent job caring for me providing good, clear medical advice. She does do physicals including DOT physicals. Access to the office is off of Rt. 206 and Robbins Rd. First building on the right after turning on Robbins Rd. Plenty of parking, including handicapped accessibility. Appointments are required.

My family and I have been a patient of Dr Halper for over 20 years I couldn’t ask for a better Dr .Staff is Professional and kind the staff have been with this practice for many years also .I always get a reminder with my family upcoming appointments I will continue to recommend families and friends to Dr . Halper.They are a part of my family and will continue to be.Thanks for the excellent care .Medard Connor of Piscataway NJ

Dr. Halper and her office staff are friendly, professional, and prompt. They are available in the evening and on the weekends, and have fitted me in for a last minute appointment many times. Regarding a previous reviewer's comment that you must wait a long time: of course patients must wait for their turn, but I have always been seen promptly on schedule when I make an appointment in advance and arrive slightly early ( I can't speak to wait times for drop-ins or for folks who show up late).
They can draw blood there too, which is convenient. They also treat my husband, and were willing to grandfather him in as a new patient under our insurance (which they no longer accept from new patients--our health insurance provider is not the easiest to work with for doctors, so we are grateful to all doctors who continue to cooperate with this company). On this note, her office staff obligingly scanned 100s of pages of my previous medical file and liaised with our insurance company over a long period to resolve a billing dispute. I disagree with another review which casts this office as unprofessional; I have enjoyed the chit-chat with the ladies at the front desk and with the nurses there, who are all skilled and have answered my questions. Lastly, I want to say that I feel confident in the expertise and wisdom of Dr. Halper. If you are looking for a good, simple, sound, and no-nonsense medical provider in the Somerville/Bridgewater/Branchburg area, South Branch Family Practice is a good choice.

I adore Dr. Halper! She has been my doctor for probably almost 20 years now. I have always found her to be thorough and caring. I never have a problem getting an appointment, and I find her staff to be friendly and caring as well.
