But our favorite healthy growth is the kind we nurture at our pediatric practice every day. After more than 40 years of caring for newborns, toddlers, children, and teens in NYC and Westchester, we remain powered by our passion for partnering with families to grow happy, healthy kids.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if we need a doctor after hours or at night?
If your child is having a true emergency, please call 9-1-1 immediately. For less urgent needs, a PedsNY pediatrician or pediatric nurse practitioner is available 24 hours a day by calling our main number. We also offer weekend and holiday visits by appointment.
We're expecting our first child. Can we come meet your doctors?
Yes! We can schedule a tour, and you can visit with an available provider. Just contact our office for a new patient consultation. This is an exciting time for your family, and we are here to help you feel comfortable and informed. Congratulations!
Is there anything special about your adolescent appointments? How are they different than pediatric visits?
At PedsNY, we’re proud to support children ages 13 and up with all the changes and challenges that come along with becoming a teen. Above all, we respect their privacy and ask you as parents to respect their confidentiality.
Adolescents sometimes need to discuss confidential matters with us. Therefore, the adolescent appointment allows the physician to spend private time with the patient to go over his/her specific questions and concerns.
While we will of course notify parents if their child is a danger to himself or others, we will otherwise respect our older patients’ needs to keep some matters just between themselves and their doctor.
