Pediatrician Recommendations in central NJ?

[Tari Mithrandir]

Looking anywhere in Middlesex, Monmouth, Mercer, Ocean and Burlington counties. I am willing to drive for a good one (driving 1/2 hour now for one who I am not sure about).
We are thinking of going non-vax or delayed vax and practise AP Really need someone who is up to date on breastfeeding (my ped now thinks it is deficient in nutrients) and willing to work with us to give my daughter what she needs
We may stick with our current depending on how her 6 month visit goes, but if it goes badly, I want to be prepared!

We use West Park Pediatrics, which has offices in Manalapan, Ocean, and Lakewood but I can only recommend Dr. Topilow (the BEST) and Dr. Benedetto(sp?). Dr. Sheehan is AWFUL. Stay far, far away from her. Dr. O'Brien is not much better. There's one other older doc who's OK, but we've only seen him for sick visits.
Dr. Topilow has respected our non-vaxing, AP lifestyle, with almost no issues (I say almost bcause I can't remember any, I'm pretty sure none though). Dr. Benedetto I have only seen for my big kids' well visit the other day, and she didn't blink an eye at the fact that we refused varicella and MMR and homeschool. She was fine with not getting a flu vax as well. My big kids have both had most of the infant shots, though, so I'm not sure how she'd react to Patrick not being vaxed at all.

I can tell you Dr. O'Brien wanted to give PAtrick a DPT when we thought he actively HAD pertussis , and Dr. Sheehan used to be a social worker and acts like my kids are hers and I should make Patrick CIO so he learns to self-soothe or I'm damaging his development , and she pushes vaxes constantly. I really, really despise her way of practicing but overall the office has been very good. My only really big issues have come with Dr. sheehan.
