Looking for pediatrician in or around Wantagh?

Lot's of ladies on this board recommend Seaford Pediatrcis, which made me a little worried that due to its popularity the practice is very busy, the wait times may be long and it may take a while to schedule a well visit appointment.

Are the any other practices in Wantagh area you may recomend? Ideally with evening and weekend hours?

TIA

Seaford Peds only takes newborns, and then you can bring older sibs into the practice when the newborn arrives.

A lot of Wantagh families go to Oppenheimer, Marchitelli, Fasano & Korn on Newbridge Rd in Bellmore. We used to go to them. I liked all the docs and PAs and nurses, but the practice really grew since we started with them in early 2005 and I felt like the wait was getting a little long.

We recently switched to Pediatric Health Associates in Plainview based on reviews from this board and a few families I know off the boards. We have our first appointment with them next week.

DH and I both went to Wantagh Pediatrics when we were kids. We don't know anyone who takes their kids there now to speak to the new doctors in the practice, but we both liked them when we were patients.
