I have recommended Dr. Pelavin to a few people and they all have the same opinion as I do. That he is wonderful, takes his time, caring, extremely knowledgeable, cares about the whole family, makes sure the children seem comfortable with him...I honestly can't say enough about him. I have used him for over 10 years now and I only wish there were more doctors like him!!!!

Dr. Pelavin is THE BEST pediatric endocrinologist for type 1 diabetes in the area. [...] Please, let him do what needs to be done to continue to provide his patients with the best care possible. He's doing an EXCELLENT job [...]!!

Dr. Pelavin is great at what he does and we couldn't have helped our daughter get her health on track had it not been for him. I am beyond thankful that my daughter's care fell into his hands!
