Finding the right pediatrician is so important and we've been exceptionally happy here for almost 4…read moreyears. Dr. Gati is our pediatrician and she is truly exceptional. You know when you can just tell someone cares? I am an anxious parent and I feel so seen when I have medical concerns. To say we ADORE her is an understatement. Our girls are always excited to see her and she's just so warm and kind to them. Our middle child had strabismus and Dr. Gati noticed a few signs when she was a baby and referred us to a top pediatric eye doctor before it was even the typical age to be diagnosed. With her suggestion we were able to work towards treating it much earlier than most. Dr. Gati also knows our family so well. We have a newborn and she had some redness on her eyes and Dr. Gati knew without looking at her records or notes that our oldest has severe food allergies and was quick to suggest the reaction could be due to food allergies given the history and suggested I keep a food log to see if this could be the culprit. I feel like most doctors would have just brushed it off but she knew to look holistically. The practice itself is also just a really special place. When our daughter got bit by a dog at the park I called a few minutes before they closed for the day for guidance. Some of the staff and a doctor offered to stay a few minutes late so our daughter could be seen in a familiar place instead of directing us to urgent care. With three kids we have our fair share of sick visits so we've seen all of the doctors at this point and have never had a bad experience. All of these doctors are wonderful, thorough and passionate. I could honestly go on and on about the ways they have helped us and gone above and beyond. MVP is truly an exceptional practice and we love them so much!

Also, when I told her I was supplementing formula with breastfeeding, she did not judge and believes "fed is best" -- which I really appreciated and put at ease. The office nurses and front desk staff are wonderful too! Also -- as a new mom, I really appreciated that Dr. Dahms asked how I was feeling in the first few weeks. She is a Mom too and understands how tough it can be in those early weeks! :)

We were literally in the office asking to make the 1 month appointment, and instead of making the appointment on the spot, they said to call them. We did. Many times. No one ever answers the phone. No one returns our calls. It's infuriating. We're finding a new pediatrician. If one of the doctors sees this, you should really think about finding new admin staff.

We've seen a few different doctors (sometimes we aren't able to see his PCP) and everyone is very knowledge, cordial and kind. The nurses are all great and attempt to calm my son down who get a a bit nervous as he's only 2.5 (he started seeing his doctor at 18 months when we moved to NYC). At times during afternoon visits when they're busier the wait time can be a little long but that's fine. We are patient and things work out.

This is a great pediatric practice on the Upper East Side. So great, in fact, that I'm willing to…read moretravel all the way from Park Slope, Brooklyn in order to see our pediatrician, Dr. Flavio Gonzalez. We love Dr. Gonzalez (first met him at Lenox Hill Hospital when my first son was born) and followed him from Gotham Pediatrics to this location. He has great empathy, always takes time to listen and my son absolutely adores him, which makes going to the doctor just that much easier! One thing that I really love about this practice is that they have drop-in hours every morning from 830am - 130pm and so if you're worried about something or your child needs to get some vaccinations or whatever, you just drop by the office and sign up to see the attending doctor. I've never had to wait more than 15 or 20 minutes, which is amazing for an unscheduled visit. It's also given me the opportunity to meet all the doctors. In particular, Dr. Roure was fantastic. Really took the time to set our fears to rest and was very compassionate and helpful. Another amazing thing - the nurses are great. They draw blood for the annual lead test right here at the office and the results are available within minutes. That is amazing! No trips to outside labs and the doctor delivers your results to you right away! Fantastic. So, yes, it's a trek for me, but I am glad to make the trip. Great pediatricians, great staff. A winning combo.

So I just called because my daughter is sick and needs to be seen as a new patient. We haven't been…read morehere very long. The office manager tells me they can't see her as I have to bring her in for a wellness visit first before they can see her. I'll have to take her somewhere else and come back when she's healthy. Or I'll have to first get her records transferred from her old doctor, who is two hours away and call them back some other time. So no thanks, I'll find someplace else altogether. Maybe that's standard practice and I didn't know that because we'd been going to the same doctor for years, but I really was surprised they simply turn sick kids down and tell you to go somewhere else.

As an example, when my son recently became sick, I was given an appointment only about an hour from the time I initially reached out. The NP who met with us, Reina, was amazing with my son. She made the experience informative and participatory for him - she engaged him in the process (doing a "science experiment") in a perfectly age-appropriate way. I've never seen a kid so delighted to be diagnosed with strep! Later that day, when I was having trouble at the pharmacy, the receptionist kindly offered to stay on the phone with me until our issue was resolved. I kept her on speaker for about ten minutes! Dr. Gidwani and her staff has consistently taken good care of my two children from infancy through the tweens. She is always responsive to questions, and it's easy to communicate with the office. We are very grateful to have this practice in our neighborhood.

I love love this pediatrician office. Dr.Foregnie, Dr.Cho are incredible, empathetic physicians,…read morethe front desk staff is phenomenal. The lactation consultant Lashanda was terrific. My child is almost a year old, and we've been with them since he was born. The first year of a child's life is full of mini crises that aren't really crises (we're first time parents) and we truly couldn't be in better hands. From sending emails to check in on him when he was sick, to having equitable vaccination practices for their clients who are of different financial means, this pediatric office is the definition of holistic, community, care. Thank you Soha pediatrics!

But, after moving outside of the city, I have met a couple doctors who have left such a sour taste in my mouth that I can't believe how lucky I was to have found them for my first born. In fact, I was going to take our newborn to a doctor in our new county, but after seeing them twice, I've decided I just trust Dr. Choe and Dr. Forgenie SO MUCH more. They listen to your concerns and talk to you like you're a human being. They are both super intuitive and get back back to you super quick if you have concerns about your child's health!

My twin daughters began seeing Dr. Harmon at their 4-year well visit. She is incredibly patient and…read moreconsiderate when working with children. One thing I particularly appreciate is that she always asks for my daughters' consent before performing any procedures. This ensures that they feel comfortable throughout the entire visit. Dr. Harmon doesn't rush and is very thorough with her examinations. Since this is a small private practice, I highly recommend her if you're looking for a quality professional pediatrician.

She spent hours answering our questions, never once made us feel rushed. Provide perspective on natural as well as traditional approaches to baby care - both nonjudgmental. She also helped me with breastfeeding issues. Our baby has grown with Harmon and he truly loves to go to her office. She sings him songs and plays with him making him feel so happy. Dr. Harmon also makes herself available outside of set appointments for questions. Her office staff is great too, very caring and consistent. The whole experience is something I look forward too and my son as well. One of the best bedside manners I've ever experienced and a gem of a doctor in NYC. You would be so lucky to experience her joy and expertise!

Merkler is fine but after having to fight tooth and nail to get an appointment, EVERY SINGLE TIME I…read moream just so over this. I get sick constantly to the point where it disrupts my every day life. It can be overwhelming so it was nice to know a doctor that was so close by would be willing to prescribe me the antibiotic I needed without question. I also want to note that my other family members have also seen him for years but have recently stopped due to them feeling his lack of support for when they fell ill. I have great insurance which is an absolute blessing and I wouldn't know what to do without it. I have to pay a co pay of $5 and the receptionist would do nothing but argue on the phone with me about how it's $15. They tried to come up with a way to "scam" the system basically he put him self under as a "specialist" meaning my insurance did require a $15 co pay however what he was doing was no where near special. It doesn't end there though. At 7 AM I send an email to the office in desperation for an appointment when I called hours later at 9:30 the rude receptionist told me that my insurance has expired and no I cannot bring it in I would have to send it because they need to know in advance what to charge me. How fucking ridiculous is that. She kept speaking over me until I literally had to tell her "okay I am speaking now" I asked her multiple times why they wait for me to be sick and desperate for medical attention to tell me this information and if she received my email ( which at the beginning of the call she said she did see it AT 7AM!!) why didn't she or anyone reach out to me so I could get them what they needed to have my appointment. So instead of answering my call for care and my email she continued to argue with me and once I was finished ( obviously upset, not at her but from constantly being put through the ringer) her only response was "are you finished" I never encountered such a lack of sympathy. I'm not asking to be treated as a fragile king but If I have to beg for empathy from my health care provider I think it's time to throw in the towel with said provider. Merkler is good for small kids but once you hit a certain age ( even if that age is still within the parameters of pediatrician care ) he kinda tosses you to the side. I don't know if it's so much him or these receptionists he keeps hiring but enough said I'd rather take my business elsewhere maybe to an urgent care hopefully they have more empathy then a private doctor.
