About us.

Founded by doctor Victoria Dahms and nurse practitioners Lia Album and Suzanne Bussetti, Mama Medical was created to help families in the northern New Jersey area access professional COVID-19 testing with expedited lab results.

Our goal is to provide testing and additional COVID-19 services to families, on their own schedules, while helping to stop the spread of the coronavirus disease.
