Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

She is very caring and staff very helpful.

Let me just say, I consider Doctor Eidelwein our angel! When my daughter was 3 moths old she was crying ALL day and ALL night (no exaggeration) in excruciating pain. I had took her to the Emergency Room and they told me she was a normal colicky baby. Well they were so wrong. I am so grateful my pediatrician sent us to see Doctor Eidelwein. She diagnosed her with Acid Reflux and got her feeling better in no time. Her and her office staff have been the answer to our prayers! So grateful for them!

After several years trying and trying with different GI doctors in the tri-county area"FINALLY" we found a Doctor who really knows what she is doing and on top of everything else, so kind and nice and I mean from the office staff to the doctor herself. Other doctors tried different things over and over with no results on getting our baby better, our child was as sick as she can get . It took one visit to Dr Eidelweon's office to fix the problem. Our child is now happy and all thanks to Dr E.

Great bedside manners, my daughter felt very comfortable with her and so did we. The office staff was very helpful in getting the prescription approved as well. Must definitively recommend her.

Do not go to Dr. Eidelwein unless you want to pay an arm and a leg for a quick consultation. We visited her twice and we received a $500 bill and $1000 bill (out of pocket) for two visits that each lasted less than 20 minutes and the most complicated thing she did was stick her finger up my son's rectum, and she never solved my son's problem. On top of that, my wife has left numerous voicemails over the past couple months asking for my son's records and we have not gotten a response.

Good in beginning. Absolutely horrible in post-care. Called the office at least 8 times and never received a call back. Got an excuse every time! Called mutliple times to get my daughter's blood work tests and was told Dr. would call back. Never did. Shocked at this behavior and would not recommend.
