My husband and I just moved from Cambridge, MA and are looking for a pediatrician for our 2 month old (adorable) little boy. We had an amazing dr for him there who was a really great mix of traditional and natural medicine and would like to find someone similar. We've been recommended to go to Dr. Alexa Kemeney, in Berkeley Heights. Does anyone go to her and what is she like?

Thanks everyone!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks everyone for the great tips on Pediatricians in the Summit area. I actually went to Dr Cerdena today, and found her to be awesome. She only gives up to 2 vaccines a visit (as opposed to the 6 I was told would be given to him at his 2 month check up at Summit Medical Group with Dr Kemeney), and when I spoke with her about us moving to Africa, she got excited for us and didn't give me a guilt trip at all! Yay!!!!! I feel like I found a perfect match in having her as our Dr for Jonah, and am very greatful for all the tips, it really helped us make a good decision.

New Providence Peds.. Dr. Moskowitz.. the group is awesome. ###-###-#### I think that's the number. Or look up Dr. Moskowitz in New Providence... it's only a mile or two from Summit. They have early walk in hours.. you just walk in.. from 8:30 to 9:30 every day.. and then they have afternoon walk in's from I think 1 - 2 .. they are open till 5 most days.. and are open Sat., Sun for emergencies in the a.m. and even some holidays. Their are a few dr. in the group.. and I love them all. They have a sick room and a well room - which I really like. Good luck. it might be ###-###-#### or 504 - 0800... I don't have my phone on me to look up the number.. good luck!!!!! You'll love them. I would tell you about Summit Medical.. but it's so big.. kind of overwhelming. This place is a little smaller.. and so kid friendly!! Also when looking for a dentist.. check out Westfield Pediatric Dental.. Dr. McCabe. They are awesome with kids. The kids love to go to the dentist. and Westfield is probably 6 miles away at the most.

My son goes to Dr. Kemeny and we think she is fabulous! Despite her busy schedule, she's never rushed through an appointment, has been quick to return calls and is very easy to communicate with. I couldn't recommend her more.

Hi K.,
My pediatrican is in Summit, her name is Dr. Cora Cerdena and she is from the Philippines. I really like her because she is very relaxed and does not put pressure on about vaccinations, etc. She also ALWAYS makes time to talk. Her office is out of Overlook Hospital and she is a private practicioner. ###-###-####. What part of Africa are you moving to? My husband grew up there and I have been many times...I miss it teribly.
Good luck!
S.

I actually work at Summit Medical Group in the pediatric department. Dr Kemeny is AWESOME!!! SHe is great! The only problem is that her panel is not yet closed (meaning that she will no longer see patients) but It is VERY FULL! ! ! A lot just as equally good doctors there have a little more availability only because their "children" have aged through and so now there is a little more openings with other doctors. You can go to her. Just know that you will need to booked your physicals FAR FAR out, especially if you need a certain time frame. And also know that if your son gets sick you will probably be coming in and seeing a different doctor a lot of the time. But She is as great as you heard. There is also a good practice in Summit called Summit Pediatrics....Dr. Kairam (a male) is awesome Dr. Parek (female) awesome! There is also Dr Vigorita and Dr. Monnochio there as well (male and female). I am a lbor and delivery nurse at Overlook and I also work at both of these pediatric offices. I am a mother of 2 and not that it matters but I do use Dr. Kairam. They are located right inside the MAC building attached to the hospital and have a great staff there. Hope this helps you...Let me know what you decide maybe I will see you "around" ____@____.com
