We took our newborn baby to Dr. Allendorf until age 6 months, when we moved. He is highly experienced, he has a dry, witty, sense of humor that I enjoyed, and he was great about answering my phone calls about questions I had. I think his advice, especially for a first time parent, was on the mark, as he knows what lies ahead in their development. He surely has seen it all, heard it all, and knows exactly when to take action. That said, he does seem to be a laid-back, easy going person which shouldn’t be confused for uncaring. He also gave the shots to our baby, which I’m seeing now that we’ve been w/a different doctor, doesn’t always happen. If we were to ever return to NYC I would definitely go back to seeing him.
