Dr. Jerome O Kaltman, MD

We love this practice and have had excellent experiences with all of the doctors we'e seen, with the exception of Dr. Kaltman. On two different occasions he performed a procedure that was unnecessary (and not covered by insurance). His bedside manor is severely lacking and he has yet to provide a confident and accurate diagnosis for our children. We will not be seeing him again.

He is very rude and condescending.I went to him once and would never go back to him.

Respectful, compassionate, knowledgeable.

Dr. Kaltman is an excellent and caring physician. He really listens and doesn't rush through my child's appointment. He always returns my calls promptly and follows up on my child if we're having an issue. He is very bright and I highly recommend him.

completely misdiagnosed our child; spent more time with resident than with me or child; rebuffed anything I said; said child was dramatic with nasal sounds; went to ENT - Adenoiditis -- inflammation of the adenoids. Surgery.

We went for my 4 yr old well baby check up and omg, the way he talks to us was like he wasn't even there.. He doesn't sound so interested in talking to the patient or us.. He was doing the exam to my daughter without even explaining what he was doing.. I was shocked when he just pulled my daughters underwear without even saying anything or at least asking or explaining what he was doing so at least my daughter knows what he was doing to her.. After that he sat on his chair and said ok she's a healthy kid.. WoW! I would never come back to this Dr again.. Remember, all their patients are kids so they should be very very careful of what they're doing.. If you don't care about your kids then yeah you can take them to this Dr. Good luck!

I would echo another review. This doctor was HORRIBLE with my very sick 6 y/o. He had no patience with her, was quite rough with her and the way he spoke to her was terrible. He had zero empathy for her even though she had a 102.5 fever and was vomiting and lethargic. Funny, another person in the waiting room warned me about seeing him. Love LF Peds.....but do NOT take your kids to this doctor

The physician was thorough in examining my 4 year old daughter. He did proper examination, ensured proper immunization and was polite throughout the process. He spent nearly an hour for the examination....and that in the world where physicians hardly spend time with their patients. He even called up in the afternoon to follow up on a test. Very impressed with him.

This doc is the one who u should avoid

This doctor had NO bedside manner with my sick children. He also was rough with them while doing a nasal flu swab. Go home if you don't want to work with children. LF Peds is great. Just take a pass on this doctor.
