Dr. Shlafer is hands down the best doctor we have ever had. I am the mother of 3 children, the oldest who is turning 18 soon. Dr. Shlafer has been our family pediatrician from the moment our oldest daughter was born. I will, without hesitation, continue to recommend him to anyone. I have always found him to be kind, funny, and great with the kids- but above all else- he is a concerned and caring doctor. My oldest daughter was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes 6 years ago, and Dr. Shlafer caught it quickly for us- and immediately directed us to Childrens Hospital. He would not even allow me to wait until my husband got home that evening- he advised us to get there ASAP. From that moment on, our lives where changed forever. I have always found him to err on the side of caution- from a small bump to a mysterious lump- he will make sure that all examinations are done, and all testing is complete. He is always available, always kind, and takes the time to talk and joke with the kids, to make sure they are at ease. My kids never felt anxious when it was time to ""go to the Doctor""- and as a parent, I will always appreciate what he has done for us, and the care he has given my family. I will be quite sad when all of my children are grown and cannot be a patient any longer.\r
