I met Dr Tavel in the hospital just after my daughter's birth. She was so warm and friendly that we made an appt with her to be our pediatrician.

Our first visit was great, she was really an attentive listener and paid a lot of attention to us. When I told her I was having trouble breastfeeding, she recommended a lactation consultant and also sent in a nurse (Diana) to teach me how to breastfeed!

I have also met with Dr Gatti and Dr Van Guilder. Dr Van Guilder is the head doc there and he is very avuncular and profession. Dr Gatti is younger, but also very knowledgeable and a warm caring person.

They never rush you at the practice and they always give you prompt attention.

When I have an emergency, they always accommodate us after hours.

Everyone is friendly and caring and I could not be happier.

My criticisms are that their phone system is kind of a mess and sometimes its hard to get a routine appointment. You should always schedule those appts well in advance.
