Hi,
I am seeking a Pediatrician in the Verona/Caldwell area. I was hoping for recommendations.
we use dr steckelman & dr butensky at Pediatric Associates W Essex PA, 1129 Bloomfield Ave., W. Caldwell, NJ 07006 ###-###-####
dr. mulgaonkar. she's in livingston. ###-###-#### or ###-###-####, i can't remember which. i have a 15 yr old and a 10 year old, both girls and i think she's very good. her name is pronounced mul-gone-kar. you very rarely have to wait more than 10 minutes, she has a well room and a sick room. her hours are good for a stay at home mom or someone with a flexible schedule b/c she is only in form 10am-4pm and some sat. her covering doctors are good as well. livingston is not much further than verona. i live in west caldwell, and it's 15 minutes tops to get there.
i recommend interviewing anyone you are interested in beforehand.
If you don't mind going a little further, I'd recommend our ped M. Yerovi in Bloomfield. We've been with her since she attended my son after his birth 5 years ago and love her. She listens to every question and worry and is very responsive and very respectful of children and their parents. She also has made herself available for off hours panics/questions and other true emergencies for us. She's been great and very trustworthy.
Not sure it's needed, but she speaks spanish as second language and has children of her own, so pretty well rounded.
We are really happy with Verona Pediatrics. We found them after leaving another practice. The doctors are great and very prompt. They are great with my 5 year old and 4 month old. They fit you in for any emeregency or sick visit. We have seen all the docs and like them all.
