Auerbach Pediatrics

I was referred to Auerbach Pediatrics by my sister. After hearing nothing but great things about Dr. Auerbach and the office I knew I wanted to see for myself! And let me tell you, I am so glad we did!
When you first walk in you’re greeted by a friendly office staff and a beautiful waiting room that includes a seperate section for sick children. The wait time in the waiting room all 5 times we have been here has been 10 minutes or less. There are coloring books, little toy riding cars for kids and a big, beautiful fish tank to keep them entertained during the wait.
Our first visit to the office was with Gina, their APRN who also happens to be a lactation consultant (great bonus for breastfeeding mothers such as myself!) My three year old had a great visit, she was very attentive to my daughter as well as answering all my questions. She really took her time to ensure I had no concerns left when the appointment ended.
Our second visit was for my younger daughters 4 month well visit. This time we saw Dr. Arena. She was very friendly and happily answered all of my questions. After our visit we hung back in the exam room so I could nurse my baby in private, which I appreciated so much. Not once did I ever feel rushed to hurry up and leave.
The last three times we have been here has been for sick kids, these visits we saw Dr. Auerbach. He is an amazing pediatrician and reminds me so much of the one I had growing up. You can tell he really enjoys what he does and loves working with children. Even while sick, my toddler loves coming here, she gets to sit on the big fire truck exam table and color on the paper during the visit. We no longer dread going to see the doctor!
I recommend Auerbach Pediatrics to every parent looking for a pediatrician or looking to switch!

So far my wife and I (and newborn son) have been very happy with this office. We met with Dr. Auerbach for a consultation before choosing this practice and were very happy with his demeanor. He is honest and up front about his opinions but listened to ours when we differed.
So far we have had three visits with Gina who is a lactation consultant as well as a APRN. She has been a life saver for my wife. Very kind woman and we have really enjoyed our time with her.
Haven’t met Dr. Arena yet but we hear nothing but good things. Our two month visit will be with her so I’ll try to remember to update this.
Finally, front office staff rocks. Great people so you will be quickly greeted by a friendly face.
I’d recommend this office to friends and family so you should check them out.

Only doctor Arena is worth going to, but she’s barely there, only Wednesday and Thursday mornings. The rest of a time it’s only Richard Auerbach himself, overly ambitious, self-​centered doctor who tends not to listen to a child’s parent unless it’s a father. I find him sexist, over prescribing antibiotics and aggressive towards mother’s opinion.
I wish doctor Arena would be more available or changed practice to another one.
All the nurses are good, though. Very polite, nice and comforting.
