Services
Whether you will be first-time parents, or are looking for a new pediatrician for your family, call or email us to register for a no-charge class - we are now offering these classes virtually during the pandemic. After an introduction to the practice by our administrator, a physician discusses newborn care and takes questions from the participants.
During the first year of life, your child should be seen for check-ups 8 times before turning 12 months. So much growth and development takes place during this time, we feel it is important to monitor your baby's health frequently. During these visits, our clinical staff will take careful measurements of your baby's growth, including height, weight and head circumference.
At the 12-month and 15-month visit, we continue to document feeding and sleeping habits. At the 12-month visit we also test for Turberculosis in addition to the appropriate immunizations and will do a photoscreen to test your baby's vision. For the 18-month visit, we ask that prior to your visit you complete an MCHAT questionnaire which screens for autism.
Immunizations are given at age 10 or 11 as well as the HPV at age 12. Labs are performed including urinalysis, hemoglobin and cholesterol. These lab tests are performed in-house or you can go to an outside lab if you choose (your insurance company may not cover in-house labs). We continue to monitor hearing and vision, growth and development and social development.

Today we visited Tenafly Pediatrics. I do not believe there is a better run practice. The appointments run on schedule and the office staff are friendly and proficient at their jobs. We saw Dr Starer she is a world class Dr. The attention and time she gives her patients are second to none! She made my son who was anxious about his injury feel totally at ease. She gets to know her patients and is a stellar Dr! You will never go wrong visitng DR Starrer who is indeed a !

Sad to give one star. As a first time parent, you want to have the best experiences possible with your child. The staff at the Clifton office were rude to me every single time me or my husband had called the office. I always gave them the benefit of the doubt and continued going to this office as it was convenient for my husband and I, and I had been referred here by a family member and we had been going here since my daughter was born.
She's one years old now. This practice must have more than enough children that they see because the staff doesn't care who comes and goes. When calling to re-schedule a one year wellness check up, I was told "Well the doctor is booked for the next 3 months, there's nothing we can do." And when asking if there was anyone else I can see, I was told "No." Not only are they not kind, they're not helpful.
I sent an email for my child's records to be transferred out to another doctor as I no longer want her to come here and was told "It will take 30 days to get your records to you." They just simply don't care. I will never refer anyone to this practice again. No complaint's about the doctor's. Thankfully my daughter is healthy and well.

My husband and I were looking for a pediatrician for our daughters and thought this would be a great and convenient place. We signed a record release form and were told we were responsible for having the previous pediatrician fax over all the records. The day before the appointment we called just to make sure everything was ready. Karen answered the phone and told us they hadn't received anything, that they couldn't call because it wasn't their responsibility and proceeded to hang up. Very rude, unprofessional. Everyone has bad days but we had called before and had the same bad experience. Time to find a new place!

This location is great! We are never kept waiting and the staff are as nice as can be. The pediatricians here are kind, caring, and I never feel rushed at an appointment. They are prompt at returning calls and have a great patient portal. They were recommended to me not only by my doula, but also by my neighbors.
