I would like to find a doctor in the New York area. Often times our children are misdiagnosed because the skill level in the medical profession has fallen by the waist-side. I am looking for the best medical care that can be offered to my 17 month old son. I want a pediatrician who is (believe it or not) good with children, pays attention to small things without prematurely brushing it off to nothing and offers a clean medical environemnt. I would love to find a doctor that takes a more holistic approach to his/her practice however quality overal weather osteopathic or allopathic will do.

What area of Brooklyn are you in? What insurance do you have? I have what I consider a great pediatrician in Greenpoint. He listens, watches the kids in the play area before they get into his office, is very patient with parents, and is not big on medications unless he feels they are really needed. My brother has been going to him for years and my son (3) liked him the first visit. He didn't even cry more than a second when he got his flu shot! Message me if you're near here and I'll give you more info. Also, welcome to Brooklyn. If you're close I'd love to take you around to all the cool mommy baby spots.

Hi! We take our son to Brook Island Pediatrics. It's a group practice which is helpful if your doc is out! I've never had an issue there. I'm a first time mom and they are really helpful in easing my fears and concerns. They also have 'advice' time from 7:30 - 8:00am where you can call the docs at home to ask questions...it has saved us numerous trips to the docs office. hope that helps! good luck 2 u!
