Hi. This is the pediatrician list I had compiled just a few months ago
for everyone interested.

I have "third" the recommendation for Boodish & Mangru.  I just moved
here last year and I thought I would just stick with my pediatrician in
the city.  Dr. Mangru is my primary dr and I do like her the best in
the practice, but I have seen the other two (Boodish & Azzaro) as well.

I recommend Dr. Donald Cotler 912-0400 on Millburn Ave.. I think that
he will meet all of your stated requirements.  He also has a regular
sick call every school day from 7:30-8:30 am which is great.

We are fans of Dr. Gruenwald on Millburn Avenue.  Not sure if that is
the doctor that you mentioned kept you waiting in your other email, but
we have rarely had to wait for Dr. Grunewald (and he does late evening
and weekend hours too).

We really like our pediatrician - The wait is usually very reasonable
(a few times we have gone right into an exam room).  He is in practice
by himself, so we always see him, and he has a fantastic nurse, Jean.
Dr. Jeffrey Levy
973-731-6400
745 Northfield Road
West Orange

We use Dr. Richard Lander in LIvingston -- he's very good and his staff
is very efficient!

I have a 5 year old and a 3 1/2 year old and we use Oana et al. as well.
We have been using them for 5 years and they are very good.  I never
have to wait very long and they will schedule a sick visit right away
with no problem.  All the doctors are good.

My choice is Dr. Guiseppe Marzella in East Hanover.  973-887-0200  I've
worked with him, so I know him from both angles, as a colleague and as
a patient.

I really like my pediatrician, Dr. Deborah Goldenring, 22 Old Short
Hills Road in Livingston, 973-533-1499.  They always fit you in if a
child is sick, and are there on Sat. mornings for sick child visits.
She has a wonderful manner with the children,

For those that are interested, there were 4 votes for Gruenwald, 3 for
Boodish, Mangru, Azarro, 3 for Cotler, 2 for Levy and one each for the
balance. Thanks again.
