Overall, a horrible and uncomfortable experience.

We feel beyond lucky to have then helping us with our newborn. Dr. Stephen is AMAZING, refreshing,…read moregentle but thorough, intuitive... and pretty darn funny, he's always a relief and an encouragement to see. We've had plenty of first time parent concerns and he's tackled them all super timely and with a way of explaining things that calms us and gives us more confidence every time. And we were amazed with Katie, the Lactation Consultant. she has decades of experience, she CHANGED our world!! we brought in our 5 day old baby and she completely turned me around with her knowledge base. I brought him in with me and nursed him with her help so that she could observe. She reframed so much of what the hospital told me generically and tailored it to me and our son based on how and what she saw. and she was spot on! he was happier, less frustrated and trusted me to read his cues correctly and get what he needed. it was an instant fix, I can't get enough of her!! She makes herself available by phone too if tou can't make it to her in person. She and Dr. Stephen are in this with you every step, honestly we couldn't have asked for more caring human beings to help guide us.

The receptionist blamed me, was condescending and rude, and insisted on fighting instead of just saying sorry for the inconvenience. Horrible customer service, especially for a new customer that was recommended to him by an existing patient. Then she called me back again to explain what happened, and I asked her if I could call her back since I was on the phone with my doctor. She didn't care and continued to keep talking twice because her time was more important than mine. I called her back only to be blamed yet again, and then received the following email today. I spoke with the doctor about our telephone conversation on Monday, September 21, 2020 and he feels that it is best not to see you as a patient in this office. We have cancelled your appointment and refunded your $50.00 deposit. The doctor doesn't even know my side of the story but cancelled this appt regardless. I also called to clarify these multiple appts I had in my calendar, and no one called me back in several days. It's a shame his receptionist treats patients with major health issues like this instead of treating them with compassion. I will definitely let my wellness practitioner know who recommended him highly to me about this horrible experience.

Quick version: Two stars because I feel lied to, but I liked Dr. Nowaki so I can't give her 1 star…read more Full story below... Before I start saying anything negative about Dr. Nowacki I want to first say that out of the 3 pediatricians my wife and I visited we liked this office the best. If you are planning on following the CDC vaccine schedule then this will be a great doctor for you and your family. They had a great sick and healthy side (one main entrance though) and everyone was very nice. Dr. Nowacki was funny and kind and I think she is probably a great doctor which is why this isn't a 1 star review. The reason I only am giving 2 stars is because I feel lied to. Stick with me for a second as the story will take four paragraphs of your time. My wife and I are pro vaccine but cautious of needing all of them. It is hard to go into detail about vaccines here but to cut to the chase we did not want our child to have the Hepatitis B vaccine since no one in our family has it, and we wanted more information about the rotavirus since we didn't know if the side effects were worth it. Everything else we are on board getting. Dr. Nowacki is very pro vaccine so I called her again once we decided we wanted to go here and made sure that she was okay with our not getting the Hep B vaccine and talk to us more about the rotavirus. She said while she really would rather we get all the vaccines, that we chose the two vaccines she is okay with her patients not getting if we insisted. I said that sounded great and asked if we needed to send in any paperwork saying we wanted to see her once our child is born. She said nope just enjoy the next few weeks and call once our baby arrives (she is a very sweet woman). And now we get lied to... the next day we get a call from one of the admin ladies in the office named Patti who left us a voice mail telling us that the office is no longer accepting new patients and that they are sorry to have to decline our interest in becoming a patient. Hmm... interesting timing I thought. Before calling to talk to them about what happened I had a friend make a call to ask if they were accepting new patients --- they said yes they were and would love to make an appointment with them. Bummer. I then called the office and asked why after talking to and getting approval from Dr. Nowacki that we were not allowed to use their practice. They said that they are full and acceptance is on a case by case basis. I said that Dr. Nowacki accepted us and I had a hard time understanding why an administrative woman could override a conversation I had with the doctor. They just repeated that acceptance is on a case by case basis. I finally asked, is it because we don't want the Hep B shot? She said that acceptance was on a case by case basis. Okay then... I must say again that the whole office is very nice. It isn't a mean woman who is calling us saying we are evil or anything like that. I'm just really frustrated and disappointed that they didn't tell me the truth as to why we couldn't be patients there and I'm extremely puzzled how the doctor isn't the one who makes the decisions (or maybe she is and when she got off the phone she told them to call us back and say no... not sure). At the end of the day, I don't think I could go here even if they approved our not getting the hep B shot because shouldn't you be able to fully trust your doctor? What if this isn't the only thing we get lied to about once our child is in their care? Scary stuff. So, sorry for the long review here, but I hope it is helpful for anyone considering a pediatrician. Again, if you are planning on getting every shot on the CDC schedule, this is probably a good doctor for you to go to (minus the possible huge black eye if lies like what were told to me are common). If you don't plan on following the CDC schedule then look elsewhere.

We have dealt with so many childhood ailments with them and every time we feel seen and heard. As I mom I've cried in their office and received advice. We are welcomed by name when we go there. They feel like part of the family and I am forever grateful I found this office when I was pregnant with my first 10 years ago.

How funny that my review was deleted by Yelp after Dr. Auerbach commented himself with a rebuttal…read more So here's the details in length since Yelp advised I did not give proper details. I do not recommend this practice to any new parents, I have had nothing but terrible experiences with the practice from the day I stepped foot into their offices. Additionally, in my passings I've been told by other parents of similar horror experiences which haven't been documented. Here is why: The wait time to get into the room is about 15 minutes and then you can plan another 15 minutes before the doctor comes to see you. If you have an outstanding bill, be prepared to be slapped in the face the moment you walk in looking for payment on your next visit. Want to make another appointment? You'll have to call and do that yourself, front of office will never ask you and you will walk out of the office as if you never arrived. Forget even discussing your personal views of vaccines during pregnancy Dr. Auerbach has his own agenda and views he will try to throw into your face. Have a disability? Be prepared to be rudely asked about it, in a manner that makes grown people embarrassed. Want to seek a new office or leave, be warned Auerbach has eyes and ears on social media and will unprofessionally rebuttal to defend his honor through other social media members who engage in a game of telephone, he said she said. On top of that if that's not terrible in itself, the office manager will call to harass you about your posts and demand to know why you didn't call the office directly. And finally, if you are looking for guidance as a first time parent, forget that! You won't be guided or consulted, they will just send you on your merry way.
