He's a great holistic doctor who goes down to the source of the problem (from physical to spiritual) to try and find a cure and not just mask the symptoms with treatments like most other conventional doctors do.

Dr. Piotrowski was my pediatrician as a child and I am so grateful that she is able to care for my children as well. She is experienced, knowledgable, and has a great sense of humor! Dr P. and her staff show a genuine interest and love for my children. I can reach her personally at any hour without having to deal with an answering service. Whether in the office or if I have had to call after hours, she really knows my children and their history down to every detail. I have the utmost confidence in her ability to care for my children's health and well being.

FINALLY!

Finally, doctors who listen, who are compassionate and kind. I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Malak and his office! Personal attention and an "outside-the-box" approach that is so refreshing! Everyone from the front desk to the nurses to the doctors themselves are warm, kind and available. The doctor will email too, which is a huge bonus! I love that they are supportive of our holistic preferences, and can reccomend supplements, alternative care like chiropractic, and that recognize the importance of diet and nutrition. I can't say enough about Bambini...I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Dr. Habert is the most intelligent and caring pediatrician I have ever met. I am a RN and recommend him to everyone! He even recognized my kids and said hi to them while at splashdown! They see him once a year they are hardly ever sick. He explains everything so that my husband and son understand what is going on and what will happen next.

"Nurse Nancy," as my son calls her is kind and patient. She is knowledgeable and will answer any question you have for her. She allows you to make an informed decision, but doesn't pressure you. Nancy's office is inviting and kid friendly. There is never a wait and she is beyond flexible! My son is very healthy, so we have on occasion just stopped by to say hello because we miss her.

Dana is warm and kind. She is a great LMT, and provided regular prenatal massage during my pregnancy, and good labor support. Although Dana provided good doula services, she un-necessarily put herself in the middle of a private family issue. In the end she contributed to a lot of head aches around issues she had no business being a part of. :( If you decide to use her services I would keep it strictly professional

Dr. Chen is a wonderful dentist for young children. He is mild mannered, kind quick, and efficient. He did a crown on a molar in about 12 minutes. He sang the entire time and my son never saw the needle with the novicane (which he has used twice). He allows the parent to stay in the room which I like. He's really amazing.

Gergely Pediatrics is an old school family practice which provides modern day, evidence based, top notch care. By old school, I mean that in this day and age of cooperations taking over small practices and forming huge medical conglomerates where you are just another patient, Gergely Pediatrics provides the kind of personalized, small-town care that my mom and grandma talked about. Whenever I had a nighttime or weekend emergency, one of the just THREE people I know and trust called me back. Dr. Gergely, Nurse Danielle, or Nurse Janet have called me back at 2am, at 7am on a Sunday, even on July 4th... always within just minutes of my frantic telephone calls. As a first time mom, they provided calm, reassuring advice. Now, 3 years later I KNOW that I am a great mom, confident in my abilities because of their help. Because they trained me so well... unfortunately now I rarely need to visit. My son is very healthy and other than ONE bad case of bronchitis after returning from Asia, we only visit for routine check ups and vaccines. I should also mention that Dr. Gergely is probably THE MOST down to earth doctor I have ever met; genuinely concerned and caring yet no-nonsense when it comes to what needs to be done (ie. potty training, breast/bottle feeding). We knew he was the doctor for us when our friends two sons were freaking out because they were joining the MARINES and were heartbroken that they had to switch to a "grownup" doctor and couldn't be seen by Dr. Gergely anymore.

My kids love Dr. Wapshare!

I never have a struggle getting my boys to the doctor because they love Dr. Wapshare. He's wonderful with them - patient, caring and he makes them laugh. I trust his opinions and recommendations, and he trusts my "mom instincts." He's never pushed me toward a treatment I didn't want. For instance, he lets me space out my infant son's immunizations rather than pushing me to do several at a time. And earlier this year, when my child had chronic ear infections, Dr. Wapshare let me skip the antibiotics and try alternative treatments to see if the infections would clear up on their own. My boys will never like getting their shots, no matter WHO gives them, but when they actually enjoy going to the doctor I can't ask for anything more from a pedicatrician.

Dr. Aro has a warm, caring personality and is extremely throrough in his care of his patients. He became my doctor when I finally decided to change my OB/GYN from my doctor in Staten Island, who delivered both of my children. After many years of continuing to travel back down to Staten Island, Dr. Aro came highly recommended by my sister-in-law. At the very first meeting, I knew that Dr. Aro was special. I felt like I knew him forever as he made you feel like a close family friend. He was most caring and now, as I am experiencing the changes in my life, with Dr. Aro at my side, I'll soar through it with his help! No sweat!

I would absolutely recommend Jen to anyone who needs speech services.

Dr. Zatz and his staff are amazing, caring, dedicated and available. They work with my family no matter what the circumstances and have gone far above and beyond to speak with us when we need and to care for my daughter from the time she was born. Dr. Zatz has called me back at midnight on a Saturday when I was a new and hysterical mother and my baby had her first fever. He makes her laugh and holds her when she is scared of what he is doing at her check up. The staff greets us warmly when we arrive and have a healthy child and sick child area for us to wait in. If all of this wasn't enough the best recommendation I can give is this: I am more than willing to drive 50 minutes to his office from my home so that he can see my daughter. For a full time working mama there is no higher praise!

My seven year old likes him and I have not yet heard any complaints. Thank you.

His talent in the OR makes him a great surgeon but his dedication to her recuperation afterwards makes him a great man. He visited our daughter every day when she was in the hospital.

My daughter was born at 25 weeks and weighed only 700 grams. Due to prematurity she had several medical concerns including a grade IV brain bleed. When she was only several days old my husband and I were faced with the discussion of quality of life for our daughter and her future. That night Dr. Tobias appeared in my hospital room and gave us a clearer understanding of what our daughter was facing and gave us hope that our daughter was a fighter. As the days went by Dr. Tobias was there to check on and visit our daughter. Although she did not need neurosurgery, he was still there following her throughout her stay. Our daughter is now 16 months old and achieving milestones that we never imagined would be possible, she is on the verge of walking. Dr. Tobias will always hold a special place in our hearts, he was our daughter's guardian angel that night.

It was a great comfort to me to know that even though my son was somewhere else, he was still on the mind of his doctor through out his very busy day.
