Spinoff from TTC board: Who is your pediatrician thread?

Since there are a lot of times this topic comes up - let's start an 'official one'.

Who is your pediatrician?
What is the address/phone number?
How many people in the practice?
Any additional info?
Do you have a doc that you have been to that you WOULD NOT recommend?

Who is your pediatrician? Seaford Pediatrics

What is the address/phone number? 2245 Jackson Ave, Seaford - (516)826-5900

How many people in the practice? 4

Any additional info? I think all 4 dr are great and I know my DS is in good hands. I also love that they are open 7 days/week.
I only wish it was a little more personal...since you dont get to choose which doc you want to see (and usually see a different one for each visit) its hard to build a relationship with them.

Do you have a doc that you have been to that you WOULD NOT recommend? N/A

Same, and I wish it was a little better about seeing the same MD - but it's great all the MDs get to know your child.

Plus, I wish they coordinated their answers a little better. I know a few other people that go there - and according to who you get, answers are different. Ex - one MD there told me to wait until 6 months to start cereal - the next time I went I was told 5 months by another MD.

I ? Dr. Wren!






Dr. Wren is def. more up my alley. Lang is a little too agreeable for me - always says OK to whatever I ask. But she's a nice woman (and Ryan thinks she's pretty LOL)

Dr. Horowitz is my fave, my second fave is Dr. Chalson and then third fave is Dr. Nunez.
I think there is a total of four doctors in the practice. I like all but one and not because of a particular bad reason or anything, just didn't click/kinda rubbed me the wrong way.

Dr. Narain and Dr. Rivera. My DS sees Dr. Rivera the most. He is AWESOME. Caring, patient and just makes you feel like a friend.

They have 2 Nurse Practitioners that I know of. (Joanna, Jennifer). Both are great too.

They have 2 late evening days and Saturday hours.

Re: Spinoff from TTC board: Who is your pediatrician thread?

We use Mid Suffolk Pediatrics
We go to the Islandia Office
Their phone # is 631-434-1770

Most times we've been there we've the Greg Kniffen who is a NP. He is awesome. The only person I did not really like is Dr. Selden. He just rubbed me the wrong way, I'm not sure why.

I agree with getting different answers. One dr told me to start with rice another said oatmeal. Not a huge difference but I think a practice would give the same instructions. That is weird that they told you 5 or 6 months.

George Pediatrics
Higbie Lane
West Islip, NY
631-376-6000

There are 3 doctors in the practice: Dr. George, Dr. VanCura and Dr. Bonafede. They rotate unless you specifically request one over the others. They are all fantastic and each seems to have a different type of bond with my kids.

The office has Saturday hours and I have been able to see a covering doctor for a Sunday emergency.

I used to go to Grello (and loved them) - but I followed Dr. George (and Dr. Bonafede) because I was very unhappy with the Front Desk at Grello once Evelyn left. Dr. George is very patient and mellow and has a really great way with kids. He explains things thoroughly and always seems to remember you and your children. Dr. VanCura is a new mom - she is young and very nice. She has a lot of patience with panicky moms like me - taking the time to listen to you and give you advice without being condescending. Dr. Bonafede is like.. the den mom. She is extremely competent and kind of no-nonsense - which is great.

The staff is good natured and accomodating - they demonstrate a lot of grace under pressure and always do their best to work with you.
