Calm quiet office, separate waiting areas for sick/well visits. Able to get same day appts. with the doc or the PA. They always take their time and NEVER rush through an appointment. Always talk to us about all of our concerns, very thorough and knowledgeable. Feels like an actual DOCTOR'S office and not just a big business like the other pediatric mills.

This doctor feels that the rotavirus vaccine is not medically necessary, although it is recommended by professional organizations (AAP, CDC, etc). Therefore, my son did not receive the shot when he was 2 months old, which is when it is recommended; and unfortunately I was not aware of this. Now my son is too old to receive the vaccination, and he will just have to go without (and probably get sick from rotavirus at some point). I wish the doctor had consulted me before withholding the vaccine.

Dr. Dalforno is an amazing pediatrician. He never seems rushed. He takes the time to sit down and talk to not only the parent, but the kids/babies as well (no matter what the age). He was our sons pediatrician when my son was first born. I switched my son to a pediatrician closer to our home when my son was just over a year, but switched back to Dr. Dalforno after my daughter was born; driving just over an hour to take the kids to their Dr. appointments, but it's well worth it! Dr. Dalforno is extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. He and his staff make us feel like we're their only patient. I would definitely recommend him to any family that wants the best for their children.
