Can anyone recommend a good pediatrician in union or in the surrounding area? I'm giving birth to my first baby in December and would like someone who is informative...
Jeff S. replied:
Dr. Oxman, and the rest of his group Union Pediatric. my sister in law used him for her kids now 38-34-31 my two 17- 15.5 Will hate when they end up going to regular doctors.
Dee B. replied:
Dr. Tang in Warren is excellent-- but probably too far... No wait usually for appointments and very little waiting in the waiting room. If sick, you go right in if there is a well visit waiting in the waiting room. Love her!!
Bianca F. replied:
I went to Dr. Bender as an adolescent in the Short Hills Summit Medical Group office.

Michele D. replied:
Dr Eng from watchung pediatrics in millburn. He is amazing for first time parents
Joanne B. replied:
Dr. Jolly Thomas973-379-4300 18 Morris Ave. Springfield ( where a Union ends) Extremely thorough...even my son loved going to her! The wait time was not bad except after school hours if a lot of sickness is going around.
Andrea V. replied:
Dr. Kintiroglou and his son John Kintiroglou. They have other doctors there. Lauren the nurse practitioner is awesome too. My oldest was a premie and he specializes in neonatal care. I consider them part of my family, that's how amazing they are. I think they're also opening up an office in Florham park. They work with St Barnabas. I was able to make an appt to meet him before deciding, even though my son was already in the NICU. He went out of his way to see him at the hospital. He's just awesome! Good luck to you!

I Recommend Dr. Vito Petrzzino he in West Orange on North field Ave 973 992-366-6973
Christina D. replied:
Both my kids see Dr. Elizabeth Panzner at Union Pediatric. It's a wonderful parent-friendly practice. There's always someone on call to come see the newborn at the hospital (this happens often at ungodly hours, so have a pen and paper handy to take notes). From 8-9 am you can call the office and speak immediately to one of the doctors about any concerns. I've met or talked to all the doctors there and there's isn't a bad seed in the bunch. The office staff and nurses are all great at their jobs and genuinely enjoy their work. They vary greatly in personality, but I assure you that even the seemingly brusque ones are efficient assets. I adore Dr. Panzner for many reasons: •She is warm and welcoming while remaining confident and professional. •She shakes my hand when she enters the room and before she leaves. •She is reassuring and normalizes the situation - priceless when a germ phobic instructor refuses to allow your child in class because of a minor cough. •She gives positive reinforcement, "great job Mom!" and firm suggestions. •After every checkup she summarizes how my kids are doing, what shots they need, and then invites me to ask her any questions; to which she then listens and responds patiently. •She looks like Ann Miller. Who doesn't love Ann Miller?

Union Pediatrics in the 5 points. Dr. David Oxman.... amazing doctor. Takes his time with the exam but after he has you sit down in his office to go over the exam, explains the vaccines, tells you what you can expect within the next few weeks leading up to the next appointment, the do's and don'ts.

Marian H. replied:
Congratulations on your pregnancy. My daughter is due in October and is going to use Union Pediatric ( primarily Dr. David Oxman). They were my children's pediatricians and now will be my grand daughter's. I can not stress enough how wonderful my experience with them has been. My oldest daughter was multiple handicapped/ medically fragile. I credit Dr. David Oxman for helping her live as long as she did and aiding me in getting all the help she needed both medically and educationally. The thing I like most about the doctors there is that they listen to parents and truly care.
Nicki P. replied:
I met my pediatrician in St Barnabas when I had my first and only child. I've never med a man nor doctor that was as helpful as he was. He walked me through every single stage of her development and made me confident. I wouldn't trade him for the world. His name is Dr. Moscowitz and he works in The Pediatric Center in New Providence right outside of Summit. I swear by him.
Ampy M. replied:
Dr Sandi voremberg! In millburn on Milburn. Ave across from the 5 guys! She is a one women show and a working mom. She does it all herself! She is on the conservative side meaning she sends for extra testing and specialist right away! She spreads out all shots one every 30 days and always gives you every minute that you need! I have had friends leave other practices mentioned for a more one on one feel. Everyone has loved her!! She makes you feel like your child(ren) are always on her mind!

Dr. Lisa Vecchio at Kids Docs in South Orange is probably the best pediatrician I've ever met. Both in knowledge, and how she deals with both parents AND kids. She has 3 young(ish) kids herself, so she really gets what it's like. And my kids practically worship her...
Silvia P. replied:
Comandatore & Gruenwald in Millburn right in Millburn Ave

We too use Dr. Gruenwald. They have awesome office hours (until 9 pm mon-thurs), open saturday mornings until 1 pm and even open on sundays and holidays if the need arises overnight (have done both for me through the years). The nurses on the phone are very patient. When I was a first time mom, they would patiently talk me through all the questions I had. ALso, you can call the on-call doctor at 2 am and expect a quick phone call back.

Michelle N. replied:
I use touchpoint pediatric in Chatham. They are wonderful. I chose to stay with Dr Kerrigan. Your appointments are scheduled for 30 mins and the doctor spends the entire 30 mins with you. The longest I have waited before going into and exam room ams being seen had been 10 mins tops. I interviewed others before picking this office and I have no regrets so far. My Lil guy was just born this past February. Also they keep 2 to 3 appointments open a day for sick calls. They are associated with the hospitals. I know St barnabas and overlook.
Helder J. replied:
