Alazard Michael MD Faap

We really like Dr Alazard, and have already recommended him to new and existing parents looking for a pediatrician on the west side of town. We had originally picked Dr Hyun from St Rose Peds to be our pediatrician, but after the 2week well check, she was on vacation and then out for an extended time. So, we went with Dr Alazard, and have seen him for all well check visits, and we try to get him for sick visits if he’s available too. That’s been for over 2 years now.
I nursed my little girl up until 18 months, I liked how Dr Alazard was more relaxed and «do what you feel is right» type of attitude, especially when it came to nursing schedules. He seemed to espouse the feeding on demand thinking, instead of just talking it like other drs. He was also great at calming my anxieties about sleep training — most of the books out there make you feel like it’s necessary, that crying it out is necessary, and he never once admonished me for nursing my little one to sleep. He always said that when she’s ready, she’ll learn how to put herself to sleep — and she did.
Overall, he’s always given good advice, and been really great with my little one during visits. I’ve never felt rushed, and always patiently answers my many questions — never making me feel like they were stupid questions.
I highly recommend this pediatrician to anyone looking for a dr for their little one.
