Dr. Cerdena is great! When I delivered at Overlook Hospital, I hadn't had a pediatrician picked out. She took very good care of my daughter immediately after delivery until we left the hospital. we "shopped" around for a good pediatrician and the other two we took our daughter to really didn't provide accurate diagnosis (which is really critical as a winter newborn). We ended up taking her to Dr. Cerdena and so glad we made that decision, she has the best bedside manner. She remembers the patients, she has flexibility for sick kid appointments, her staff is really nice, and she treats your kids as if they were her kids- not just another patient.

Dr. Cerdena is very attentive. She has always been patient to answer any questions. Even when my son was sick out of the country she answered every call and walked me through helping my son receive the care he needed while away.

We have been taking our son to Dr.Cerdena since day 1. She is very informative, knowledgeable and caring. We've had to call her in the middle of the night and she responds quickly to our messages. We've never waited more than 15 minutes to be seen on the day of an appointment. We live an hour away from her office now and we wouldn't think of changing doctors.

Our son started seeing Dr Cerdena from day 1, 11 1/2 years ago. We live 1 hour away now but would never switch. Her staff is also fantastic.
