Dr. Alfred Ephraim Slonim, MD

Dr. Slonim is by far the best paediatric metabolic specialist endocrinologist we have ever dealt with on virtually ever level. Our son was born with an extremely rare metabolic condition, profound congenital pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme disorder. This kind of disorder results in severe lactic acidosis. Dr. Slonim managed our son's case and assisted us in obtaining medically necessary services that had never been available to patients in our situation before. He intervened in hospital administrative disputes any number of times to ensure that our son was properly and effectively cared for. He made it possible to discharge our son from the hospital and maintain him in our home with nursing supervision and complete medical support and pharmacuetical therapies. Dr. Slonim was consistently correct in every evaluation and diagnosis in contrast to many many other pediatric specialists, including the Hospital Chief of Pediatrics who was as frequently wrong as Dr. Slonim was right. … We can and we do recommend him to any child or an adult with a congenital genetic, endocrinological or metabolic condition regardless of the distance necessary to travel to see him.

He saved our son's life, with love, compassion and knowledge.

I was referred to Dr. Slonim because my daughter was very ill and no one could help us, we saw dozens of doctors from 6 months old to about 4 years old and we were finally referred to Dr. Slonim. The first time I met Dr. Slonim he gave me his cell# and instructed me that if my daughter should have another episode to go directly to the ER and then call him. I did and he was at dinner, he dropped everything and met us at the hospital and completely took charge, that was 18 years ago, we saw him from 4 years old to 12, until my daughter Ketotic hypoglycemia started to wane. We always kept in touch from time to time. I just saw him last week for my own issues, yes he sees adults too! I have Chronic Fatigue and he specializes in it, I lucked out and was reunited with this renowned Doctor. My daughter is 22 years old now and doing great, Dr. Slonim remembers everything about our case and was thrilled to see Kimberly again and had lots of questions on how she was doing. We really love this… man and have always felt safe and comfort in his care. He's an angel and I consider him more then a friend, he's more like family...

I LOVE THIS MAN!!!!!!!!

Dr. Slonim is now with Colubmia Presbyterian clinical genetics division. An incredibly gifted doctor and humanitarian, he has treated with with great success for metabolic muscle disease. There is no one better.

Dr. Slonim is caring and compassionate. He deals with some of the worst illnesses a child can suffer, and he manages to work with these children and their families with a perfect blend of compassion and professionalism. He is truly a gem.

a most amazing genuinely caring human being and physician i have ever met. dr. slonim has guided me with his expertise and care throughout my mcardles progression. no one compares to him!

My daughter has GSD V Or McArdles Disease and has been a patient of Dr. Slonim's since Jan. '07. He has always returned our e-mails and phone calls in a reasonable amount of time. He communicates with our Dr. in our hometown, as we live in Ky. and he is located in New York. He is a wonderful Dr., very caring about his patient, but he wants you to follow his recommendations to get better and feel better! I would recommend him to anyone with a genetic disorder that he could help them with. My daughter is now almost 18 and will be going off to college soon. She is now beginning to realize how much his advice is paying off for her. At first she rebelled because she didn't want this disease, but she has learned to live with it and now, because of Dr. Slonim's patience and advice, is doing relatively well. He sincerely cares and definitely knows what he is talking about!
