Not everyone enjoys visiting the doctor, especially children, which is why finding the right pediatrician is such an integral part of caring for your little one. Rest assured, you’ve come to the right place. This year, South Jersey Magazine has once again partnered with Best Doctors, Inc., to compile a list of the leading pediatricians across the region. We’ve also included our annual readers’ choices of other quality names in the field of pediatrics. Read on to find out what inspires some of these doctors and why they feel caring for children is so important. (And get a load of the pictures of them in their younger days.) These fine physicians are to be admired for the skill and dedication they put into making sure area kids are living happy and healthy lives.
Dr. Jacqueline Kaari
General Pediatrics
“The most important part of my job is forming relationships with families that last from birth to adulthood. I’m privileged to watch children grow and reach their potential and to play a part in keeping them healthy and safe. There is no substitute for this relationship of trust and understanding that comforts parents and allows me to provide the best care for their child.”
Dr. Brian Dunham
Pediatric Otolaryngology
“The birth of my first daughter was a transformative experience. I always knew that I liked working with children, but it was not until I became a parent that I began to appreciate how truly amazing and important they are. Very simply put: Kids are great. I cannot think of anything more important in our lives than our children. I love working because each day brings opportunities to truly help children and their families.”
Dr. S. Jay Mirmanesh
General Pediatrics
“During my clinical years in medical school, I got to experience the different fields in medicine. From the very first day of my pediatric rotation, I felt at home. In addition, my son was born shortly after. My love for children and the fulfilled feeling at the end of the day inspired me to pursue my goal in becoming a pediatrician.”
Dr. Scott Bartlett
Pediatric Plastic Surgery
“As a practitioner who treats mostly children but some adults as well, one often gets the question: How do you deal with the mothers and fathers who often are so difficult? I can tell you from my experience that this is not the case. In fact, as long as the parents know that you are working in the best interest of their child, one of the best advocates you can have is the parent. By and large it is very rewarding to team with parents to accomplish the best care and outcome for their child. It is a highly rewarding experience for all.”
Dr. Emily Scattergood
Pediatric Radiology
“As a pediatric radiologist, I am so fortunate to be able to work with kids of all ages every day. One of my favorite things are the many questions the children ask me about what I do as a pediatric radiologist. Spending the time answering the questions allow the children to feel safe and a part of the process. I like working with children because no matter why a child is receiving a study, they almost always manage to smile in the end. I am thankful to be able to do a job that provides answers to a child’s family in a safe and friendly environment. It is the kids that make this job fun and rewarding every day!”
Dr. John M. Tedeschi
General Pediatrics
“Making a sick child well is amazing, but becoming an important part of the family dynamics is priceless. Being involved in the dynamics of a family, understanding their lifestyle, their values, allows me to greatly enhance the quality of my advice, especially in regards to parenting.”
Dr. Connie Domingo
Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine
“As a teen, I stayed with my baby sister during her hospitalization for an illness. I watched how the doctors treated and cared for her. This was the point that inspired me to pursue a career in medicine.”
Dr. Jeffrey W. Campbell
Pediatric Neurosurgery
“Working with children is a joy and privilege. Children are so honest about how they feel. Being with children every day helps keeps me grounded. In addition, it’s so gratifying to know that helping a child now can result in a better life for decades to come.”
Dr. Edward Rosof
General Pediatrics
“My father inspired me to enter the medical profession; he was an old-time general practitioner. But it was not until I got into medical school that I realized that pediatrics fit my personality the best. Families always ask me how medicine has changed in the past 30 years. I say everything around me has changed, but my approach to children and their families will never change. To me, that’s the essence of being a pediatrician: talking to children and the families and caring for their medical needs.”
Dr. Joy L. Collins
Pediatric Surgery
“Children are so honest and fun; they give me hope and inspire me to do my best, every moment. Caring for kids is an investment in the future—for the children, for their families, and for our community.”
