Eileen Dolan at Hackensack University Medical Ctr. She's very helpful.
But there's a long wait to schedule an appointment.

wait time is typically 6m to a year for anyone decent. I dont mind waiting...who did you hear if that was good but had a long wait time?

dont know what your concern for your child is, but I was really impressed with Dr. abba cargan- pediatric nuerologist.

You might be able to skip the developmental pediatrician and go straight to early intervention. You could always get a proper evaluation later.

I was given a list of Dr's by someone trying to help. I don't think they actually knew who is good.

We did EI and continue getting services. There is one issue which we just can't explain (and I'd rather not elaborate)
