Community Pediatric Care - Halifax

Dr. Alifano is caring and knowledgeable. He is great at explaining things and answers any of my messages on the app about medical questions very quickly and helps me feel reassured for every little bump I encounter with my 9 month old as a first time mom. We have also seen NP Dahlberg a few times, and she is amazing as well. Always has great tips and advice and explains things very clearly so I know exactly what to look for if I’m concerned! I am always seen shortly after arriving for my appointment. The front desk and nursing staff are always kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

My child’s old pediatrician no longer accepts our insurance so had to switch. My kid is normally very nervous around doctors and like all children, hates shots, but needs them asap as he is entering kinder soon. Dr Jesse Alifano and the entire office team was awesome, friendly and to the point. The room was decorated with superheroes which was a great distraction technique. They offer services through MyChart and Dr Alifano was able to confirm a recommendation for a local peds ENT as well. Overall quick and painless experience. When we left, my son said “Mom, those were the best shots ever!!!” I’ll take it haha

My husband and I have loved seeing Dr. Van Beever for our newborn son. He is extremely personable and answers all of our questions and concerns as first time parents. He is extremely responsive through mychart regarding any issues my son has had and helped to resolve them without having to cart my newborn into the office if we didn’t need to. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Van Beever!

As first time parents, our first year at this office has been amazing. I can’t say how happy we are with all the doctors. We primarily see Dr. Alifano and he is just so incredibly kind to our son and to us. He answers all our questions without making us feel like we are a burden. Dr. Alifano replies on MyChart so quick for any “emergencies” I’ve had over the year. Don’t think twice about picking a pediatrician!

Our pediatrician retired and we were lucky enough to find Dr.Alifano. Can’t say enough positive things about the same day new patient appt, the warm welcome from each staff member to how Dr Alifano’s warm bedside manner for my 7 and 9 year olds tandem visit. I could write novels on how positive the entire visit was and they went above and beyond. ( my appt was for my son but once he tested positive for strep they tested my daughter as well and I was able to receive antibiotics for both because of his thorough care and genuine concern for my family.) highly recommend and one grateful mama for his love for helping make the scary doctors visit such a positive experience.
