Hi J.,
We have a son who will be two at the end of AUgust. We live in Ocean Twp. and initially we used the Ocean Pediatric Group. We also liked the idea that they did not administer the "coctail" immunizations. However, when our son Christian was first born he needed to be readmitted into the hospital at 3 days old. He was believed to have bacterial meningitis but a spinal tap collection could not be obtained after two tries so we do not know for sure (he was treated anyway as if he had it). Dr. Rhugani was great but Dr. Farrell was extremely harsh and abrupt. He told me over the phone that my newborn baby would die if I did not do all the tests. ANyway, after we got through that experience we switched to TLC pediatrics in Shrewsbury. ALl of the doctors in my ob/gyn office use them. We usually see Dr. Appulingam. SHe is WONDERFUL!! We use the "old" shot schedule, and therefore our baby does not get bombarded with more than two shots a visit. I also noticed someone wrote in about Dr. Lipp. I have heard wonderful things about him as well, but I think he may be the only dr. in the practice (not sure though).
