  • “I just can’t thank Dr. Aronov enough. We came to her well into a very difficult struggle with disordered eating with our daughter. Her ability to listen carefully, and her vast experience helping children and families, allowed her to give us an individualized plan in a compassionate yet no nonsense manner. It honestly helped my child and my family as a whole in a way I just can’t explain in words. “

    — John S.

  • “Dr. Aronov is an incredible doctor - she listens, she’s compassionate, kind, smart, and helps parents with their concerns and needs as much as their children. When my son showed signs of anxiety and depression, she was there for us every step of the way, and played a pivotal role in getting him the help he needed when other avenues had failed him. We are beyond grateful for her care.”

    — Jill S.

  • “Dr. Aronov has been our pediatrician since our oldest, our seven-year-old. When my son started to show signs of ADHD and anxiety, we were overjoyed that she was willing to work with us and treat our son's condition with the same thoroughness, compassion, and careful consideration and professionalism that she had throughout his life.”

    — Deidre R.

  • “Dr. Aronov was our son’s pediatrician for over 8 years. She helped us navigate the complicated world of mental health and behavioral support for kids: Establishing healthy routines, building parenting skills, seeking therapy, considering social skills groups, and deciding whether or not to pursue Department of Education or neuropsychological evaluation.”
