I am looking to change pediatricians because mine are in Haddonfield (gas is $4 a gallon!) Does anyone use Dr. DelGiorno in Blackwood? Please let me know of any other good pediatricians in the Blackwood, Sewell, or Turnersville.

What can I do next?

I have been using Dr. Lerch's office in Turnersville. He has 2-3 other physicians in the office who are extremely good with the children and have never had a problem. I have been using them for 7 1/2 years now. Originally it was Dr.'s Simmers and Lerch in Laurel Springs however they have since moved and Dr. Simmers retired. They are located on Hurffville-Crosskeys Road in Turnersville, next to the hospital. Their # is ###-###-####. They have a new female physicians (can't remember her name right now) and she was great with my son. My OB dr. actually uses their office as well and was the one to recommend them. Good luck!

My daughter goes to Dr. Lerch at his brand new office in Gibbsboro, but I have heard that his Washington Twp. office is great too. My daughter is 18 months and we have had nothing but good experiences with the office. He has several associates that are just as fantastic. I actually found Dr. Lerch because he checks out the babies in Kennedy Hospital after they are born. He found my daughters Hip Dysplasia when he checked her at the hospital after she was born. My sister-in-law had a bad experience at another office and I sent her to Dr. Lerch's and she loves it as well. I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Dr. DelGiorno is good, he has been practicing for many years, and must be close to retirement by now. I stopped going to him because his office is always packed, the waits were very long and he did not seem to listen to my concerns, that was over 10 years ago. I use Laurel Pediatrics on Fish Pond Road.

Hi M.,
I use Dr. DelGiorno both father and son. They are wonderful, Dr. Melissa is also very good. When my son was born we had to go to Fl because my mother was dying. He was only 5 days old when we left. Dr. Joe came into the office that weekend to check him before we left and they called us more than once in FL to check on both Aaron and me. I have called there once at 8pm because he had a rash and they were willing to stay so we could bring him in. Aaron has never had a bad reaction to any of them and they really take a personal interest. I would absolutely recommend them.

I have a 7 yr old and a 3 yr old and I have used Dr. Delgiorno's office since my oldest was born. I can honestly say I have nothing but wonderful experiences with their office. Dr. John, Dr Joe and Dr Lynn are caring loving Drs. who my children love and have developed a relationship with. We moved 45 minutes away and I still drive down to them. They have always made me feel like my kids really mattered to them. I don't think you would be dissappointed if you chose to use them.

Hi M.,
I take my son (8 mo old) to Dr. DelGiorno's practice and I would recommend them highly! I am always able to get an appointment, their wait time is very reasonable, the staff is friendly and helpful. I mostly see Dr. John (DelGiorno) and he is wonderful. He gives good advice, listens to your questions and spends as much time with you as needed. His exams are VERY thorough. You can tell that he loves his job and cares about his patients and their families. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
My little guy had a few (now resolved) issues as an infant so we were there pretty often in the first few months after he was born..
Good luck in your search!!

Dr. Lerch has an office right by Kennedy Hospital. He is awesome and has been around forever. He took care of me when I was little. I am now 30 and he takes care of my two sons, 4 and 10.

Wow - you hit the jackpot!

We have been seeing Dr. Joe DelGiorno for 5 years now for our 2 kids - one with ADHD/ODD & PDD-NOS. He is amazing with our son. All the dr's are great, really! We just stick with Dr. Joe b/c our son needs consistancy. He trusts Dr. Joe and our daughter - age 3 - always says she needs to go see dr. Joe when she gets a boo-boo! She got an ear infection 2 weeks ago and she even dressed like a princess for dr. Joe - we ended up getting dr. John D - joe's dad - and he was great as usual, too!

We live in Mullica Hill - and we drive 20+ minutes to still go there - they are planning on opening up their 2nd location here in Mullica Hill this summer, i think.

Everyone raves about this practice - the nurses are great, too - call anytime and ask for them, Nurse Kathy is the best! They take every call seriously - no matter how silly the issue may be (!!) - and truly work with you. With our son, for example, b/c of our great relationship with Dr. Joe and his sincerity to figure out what was happening with our son - our son was diagnosed early at CHOP and our son doesn't have any negative feelings about himself being different - that really is amazing.

hugs,
R. b
