If you're going to go on here and attempt to repudiate a well-respected pediatrician, at least take the time to spell his name correctly. I know this is a country full of illiterate half-wits, but come on. It's on the top of the page, right on your god damn screen.\r
\r
Dr. Shlafer is one of the most competent, well-respected, and kindhearted doctors in the region. A ""quack""? The man is absolutely brilliant, excelled in medical school, and has been practicing for nearly 20 years. Criticism of his medical expertise is patently ridiculous and insulting, especially to the thousands of children and families he's helped. \r
\r
These negative reviews all seem to be based on highly questionable anecdotes from pugnacious morons (most of whom have the writing skills of a 10-year-old) who know absolutely nothing about medicine.\r
\r
As for Nunya B's comment about his ""offensive"" and ""inappropriate"" remarks? I have known Dr. Shlafer for a long time, and he's one of the most empathetic human beings imaginable. He goes far above and beyond what any normal pediatrician would do for his patients; he constantly works on-call during his own free time, provides emotional support to families of especially sick children, and charges nothing to families without money/insurance. The ""inappropriate"" remark mentioned below was completely benign and an obvious lighthearted joke. Sounds to me, Nunya, like you wouldn't be a whole lot of fun at parties. \r

You should be deeply ashamed of yourselves. And if you don't believe me, just ask one of his 3,000-something patients; they LOVE him, as do I.
