Family just moved here from So California. We were thinking of renting in the Summit area but found a great rental in the Dover/Rockaway area. Looking for some good recos of some caring, great great doctors for my little one and my little one to come!

- Any advice on hospitals in the area to deliver baby next Spring? St. Clares a good choice?
- OB/GYN recos
- Pediatrician recos - I'm esp picky with this one - I would like a doctor that's not too hard to see with a sick one (I tried calling a recommended doctor and asked if I could get in the same day and I got the coldest shoulder esp since son would be new patient)
- Pediatric Dentist

Thanks in advance!

What can I do next?

Hi D.,

I use Pediatric Assoc of West Essex. Their office is on Route 10 in Denville. My kids LOVE it there. Whenever I call, even when it seems so minor, they take me that same day. Dr. Ganek is our favorite. A good office will let you meet them before you give birth. And the nurses are great also.

I personally didn't give birth in St.Clare's, but my sister in law did, in Denville. It is very nice, you get your own room and she was happy with them.

Hope that helps, and good luck!

As for Hospitals, I have heard goo dthings about St Clairs but I beleive Morristown Memorial is the best in the area. I recommend Morristown OB/Gyn (I about to deliever child #3 with them) Many doctors and I like them all and think they all know their stuff and are nice (after all the recent doctors visits in the past 4 years, I definatly spent time with each doctor!!!) Good luck... if you have more questions feel free to contact me

BTW, I saw the other resposes and I will agree that Sparta Peds right off of Rt 15 in Sparta is a great practice for the kids (my kids go there as well)

I go to Pediatrics of Morris in Denville. Alot of my friends use them. They are a group of 4 female doctors. My son was premature with many issues a first and they are wonderful about everything. Npt difficult to get an appointment.
My OB/GYN is Dr. Rothenberg/Dr. Omay and there is a midwife with them also. I love them. I had a difficult pregnancy and they are great. They are high risk doctors and also located in Denville. They deliver at both St. Clares and Morristown.
I am an employee of St. Clares and many nurse friends from work use both of these doctors.
As far as where to deliver, St. Clares is nice with private rooms but so is Morristown. I delivered at Morristown due to problems. Private rooms there also and very nice too.

Welcome to the area and I hope you find the doctors you like, whomever you choose.

I delivered both of my children at Morristown Memorial Hospital. For ob/gyn - I use a cert nurse midwife (Tina Alessi) who is with One to One Female Care in Morristown. I love this practice - I switched to them when I was 20 weeks preggo with my first child. Dr Garfinkel is the ob/gyn with this practice.

As far as pediatrician - we use a family practice in Summit - Summit Family Practice. There are several drs and a nurse practitioner in the practice. We have NEVER had a problem getting an appt the same day. We primarily see Lois Honcharuk (the nurse practitioner), but Dr Amy Schram is also great !

Good luck !!

Hi D.
I moved here from S. Cal 3 1/2 years ago and have a 14 month old. I moved from Redondo Beach. Where did you move from? We live in Sparta and I really like my Pediatrician. We go to Wellness Center Pediatrics-we get in same day all the time. Sparta Pediatrics also has a great reputation. They would both be 15 minutes from you. I don't know much about pediatricians in Dover/Rockaway. My OBGYN is fantastic. It is a practice of 6 women. Morristown OBGYN. They have an office in Morristown and Succussauna. Most of my friends and some of my mom's friends go there.
Hope this helps,
D.
