Dr. Shlafer is the best! He was my pediatrician as a child and has been my son's pediatrician since he was born 5 1/2 years ago. As many reviews have already stated he goes above and beyond your average doctor. As a child I had a lot of medical problems and so does my son and doctor Shlafer has been there every step of the way, advocating for us, taking his personal time to do whatever needs to be done. He is the best by far and believe me I have seen more than my share of doctors in my life. My 5 year old, who has been seen in multiple clinics at Children's and other specialist, will only willing go to the doctor if we are going to see Dr. Shlafer. He trusts him and that is huge! We were there just last week and I had called ahead of time to discuss my concerns with, April, Dr. Shlafer's fabulous nurse. I told her my son was worried about what is going on and asked if we could be extra cautious of what was discussed in front of him. They were great about the whole thing! Dr. Shlafer and April discussed what was going on outside of the room and when the doctor came in he sat down and sang silly songs with my son and made him laugh while he did his exam and gave me instructions on what to do next. This not only distracted my son but put him totally at ease. When we left he said to me, ""You know mom, Dr. Shlafer's not like other doctors, I think he really loves me"" \r

I could go on and on telling you about all of the great things Dr. Shlafer has done to help us but he's been with our family for so many many years it could take me a very long time. The bottom line is Dr. Shlafer is our favorite doctor ever, we love him dearly and don't know what we would ever do without him!
