Dr Pelavin has been of tremendous help to my son who had thyroid cancer and continues to take thyroid function medications under the care and guidance of Dr Pelavin. My son also has autism and Dr Pelavin has always been kind and respectful of him. I'm sorry now that my son is 22 he will no longer be a patient of Dr Pelavin. He is an excellent doctor and a wonderful person.
