New pediatrician near West Islip
I am looking to switch offices after not being happy with our current one for a while. I keep hearing good things about Dr. Woletsky at Suffolk Pediatrics and Dr. Bobbi at Mariwalla Pediatrics. I'd love to meet with the doctors ahead of time but both have said they don't do that.
Any other doctors I should be considering?Or any raves about the ones mentioned?
Thanks!

Re: New pediatrician near West Islip
I'm very happy with Dr. Mariwalla's practice, and we love Dr. Bobby. He's awesome with my toddler, and is very kind and reassuring to me, a first time mom. It's very easy to get an appointment, and the wait time has never been very long.

We used Dr Tom at Babylon Village Pediatrics when we were on the island. We loved the practice, never long wait times or trouble getting sick appointments.

Cannot say enough good things about Woletsky. I love all of the doctors in that practice and the front desk staff is wonderful.

I've been using Woletsky for years. Love him. He's very knowledgeable and patient. I never feel rushed with him.

I love Dr. Woletsky's group. Never had a problem bringing DD in for those nervous mom moments. The office staff is great. I prefer Dr. Nancy because she is a he mom herself but even the PAs are great. The nurses also do a great answering all my questions and calling in scripts! You will hear different opinions on the old school stuff like cereal in the bottle but they ultimately agree on the big stuff!

I love Woletsky. With that being said, the last time I was there, I saw a PA and waited 2 hours for my appointment. It was past DS's bed time by the time we left and it was a miserable experience. Other than that, I've never waited more than 5 minutes in the year we've been going!

I'm interested too bc I love them so far.
Ever since they were taken over by ProHealth I've had issue after issue with them. DD is only 2 so I'm choosing to leave now while it's still easy for me to do so.

I am pretty leery of this new arrangement myself. While ProHealth is an awesome entity to be a part of with so many resources available to those in the group, smaller practices which join them seems to come with quite a bit of terms...almost like dealing with the devil. BUT ProHealth only accepts top docs and I have always been happy with the peds at the group. We'll see how it goes. To answer your question, I know Dr. Mariwalla is an excellent doc.

Hmm interesting! They switched to pro health around the time of my son's 3 year well visit back in October & I haven't been there since. We have #2 coming within the month so I'll be there a lot the next few months. I really love the doctors & nurses there... we'll see how it is in their new place!

My issue is definitely not with the doctors. I like most of them.

I had billing issues after they switched to ProHealth. Some doctors showed up as covered, while others didn't. Imagine my shock when I started getting bills for my DD first-year well visits! I believe that issue has been resolve though, because when I called to question it, they seemed very aware of the matter and I haven't gotten another bill since.
