My dear friend takes her kids her to Dr. Lavine, and they love it. So 3 years later when we had our bundle of joy we took her to Dr. Lavine, and we too love it. He saw us the very next day when we left the hospital, and the first few weeks when we knew nothing and had a panic attack because our baby blew up like a ballon and we called him at 3 am he answered and walked us through what to do, and when 8 am rolled around he took us as his first patient.
Pro with Dr. Lavine
He has been around awhile so he has seen it all.
He always either answers his phone or always calls back at any hour, and it's him not his assistant or the nurse when it's after hours, it actually him! His assistant or nurse will call on his behalf during business hours if he can't do it.
He has good bedside manners.
If the baby isn't feeling well and they haven't heard back from me, they will call just to check in.
He is right down the street.
The office set up certain hours for infants, toddlers, and older kids so that's nice.
Cons
Usually we are seen right away, but during flu season and back to school it's pack at his office
Exam are slow, but I like to thing they are being thorough
The office is outdated but I love the charm.
He is kinda old school, but I love it.
He is an older Doctor, and I pray everyday that he will keep seeing us as long as he can! I hate to have to find another doctor because we love him so much and you can't find them like this anymore! read more
