Dr Ed, has been the Pediatrician of my two daughters since they were born. Now they are 9 and 7. I have no words to describe his empathy and professional approach and most of all he has a magic way to connect with children (my girls love to go to see him). He is simply my lifesaver, the best Pediatrician! I highly recommend.

We had the good fortune of being Dr Ed’s patients: not only his incredible knowledgeability and close monitoring of our girl’s condition — far beyond official appointments — was exceptional, but also his genuine care and empathy for our entire family were something I’ll be thankful to him my entire life.

Explanation

I was very happy to bring my daughter to Dr Ed. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, observant, reasonable, trustworthy. He has been always explaining all the details about my daughter's health and his medical recommendations. Dr Ed is very attentive to early signs of potential health issues. It was very early that he diagnosed some symptoms of a chronic illness in my daughter that could have caused her lots of problems permanently. The fact that he saw it way in advance, and prescribed very precise and gentle treatment, helped my daughter to overcome a chronic condition. Dr Ed is also very kind and sensitive to children. My daughter loves visiting him. Myself, I enjoy so much seeing his interaction with her, and feel I can trust her health to his professional vision
