We switched to Dr. Shlafer in 2001 and all of our three children (ages 3,4 and 13 love him)...He is an exceptional pediatrician, very understanding, trustworthy, cares about his patients and parent's concerns. One reason why he says parents know their children best is, because that's the truth; we spend more time with our children and doctors are there to help us...My son was diagnosed at Children's Hospital for ADHD and had learning and speech delays due to ear infections he referred us to a specialist for ear tubes and they were very helpful, he never got infections again. Dr. Shlafer did not medicate him, instead he was very supportive with our decision with helping our son cope through his condition through counseling, social and speech therapy. We parents have a choice to say no to medication if you are opposed to it. What some people lack is knowledge, there are alternatives and Dr. Shlafer will support your decisions. \r

Regardless of the negative feedbacks that are posted here, Dr. Shlafer is a wonderful pediatrician. \r
