Nice pediatrics location and NYU-affiliated…read more Recently, we have been bringing our son to Global Pediatrics because we love the care that one of the doctors provides for him. As for the location itself, it is a decent size and has plenty of space in the waiting area --- very important during the COVID-19 pandemic. The patient rooms can be a little tight, especially when there are 2 parents allowed into the room. The staff is relatively friendly and informative as well. The only issue with the location might be ... well, it's location. It is located in Manhattan, which is notorious for the lack of parking at times. However, every time we have visited, we have been fortunate to find a pay parking spot right in front of the office, across the street or on the next block over. Other than this little blip, the office is fantastic and is a great place for parents to bring their kids for doctor visits.

Dr. Palmo is the doctor I have been searching for but never knew existed!!! When I say he seems too good to be true but isn't!! From my son's first visit and every other following, we have had such a pleasant experience. He takes his time, talks directly to your child and you can tell he loves what he does. He is so good with my baby!!! Isn't phased at all when he throws a little fit and also takes the time to explain everything to me in great detail. I wish he were my doctor!!! There's another nice doctor here also whose first name is Eric- just as sweet but I don't think anyone can top Dr. Palmo's persona

Summary: Couldn't trust the nurse with our newborn and the…read moreagency had a poor response. She fell asleep while our baby was on her and the agency expected us to pay. The second night our baby nurse was with us, we caught her asleep with the baby on her chest. At 5am, I called out her name multiple times to initiate breastfeeding and for her to bring the baby to me. When she didn't respond, I realized she was asleep. Immediately concerned, my husband turned on all the lights in the room and yet still had to rouse her awake. We felt deeply uncomfortable finding her in a position that put our two week old baby in danger - any healthcare worker for babies would know that sleeping with the infant puts the baby at a greater risk of SIDS. When my husband told her she wasn't needed anymore and should go home, the nurse asked if she did anything wrong. She didn't know? Then she blamed me for her falling asleep with the baby. What was also upsetting was that the agency pushed us hard to still compensate the nurse. We got a lot of agency pushback, even on the secondary issues outlined below. They were more interested in siding with the nurse rather than hearing our concerns. They fed us a line mentioned by another reviewer here "we have never had any issues with this nurse before". I really did not buy that, and I found it unsettling the agency had so many lines to back their nurse even when their own promises to the client were unmet. The agency still expected us to pay the nurse, however if they felt strongly she should be compensated, then they should front the bill... not the consumer. How else are poor practices going to be corrected? Initially they were only willing to credit their agency fee, but we were adamant and eventually we reached an agreement to pay for the first night only -- which we had said from the start we were willing to do. There were also a few issues with this baby nurse at the onset - the agency asked for personality that would be a good fit and 'takes initiative' with 'provides coaching' were top of the list. Services like 'maintaining the nursery space' were not followed through on - after the first night, for example, I was cleaning poop off the wall and diaper caddy from a 'projectile' diaper change that had happened in the first half of her shift (the agency in her defense: "Had this happened on multiple occasions?"). The nurse had no issues spending her time watching videos from her phone. She also provided 'coaching' based on outdated medical practices (such as cleaning the umbilical cord site with alcohol) so my husband and I felt we were doing most of the coaching. And her assistance with breastfeeding made it clear she didn't know the basics. She also interjected to the lactation consultant I was meeting with virtually- never mind I hadn't invited her to partake in the calls. All this despite 20 years with the agency... There were also issues with the agency. We were not provided a method of communication for over the weekend in the event issues like this arise. We were just given the nurse's name, but no phone number. We received no email confirmation of the booking. We had no indication of how to pay and we were not sent a contract. The booking was made for Friday and I couldn't speak to anyone until business hours Monday. There is no email listed online and no one available outside business hours. When I called first thing Monday morning, they asked why I hadn't left a voicemail. But how would I have known to do that when their automated message says to call back during business hours? Fortunately I'd sent a message via their website's contact form detailing the issues the morning we let the nurse go. Of course the nurse had already called and had a different story. The agency was proud of their low turnover rate - I suspect there was no reprimand for this nurse. I'd never work with this agency again.

As a New York City resident, you will be overwhelmed with choices in doctors and primary…read morephysicians. But how do you distinguish between the good ones and the quacks? Especially when it comes to your kid? I was lucky enough to be recommended by my gynecologist. Dr. Loiselle is the most sought after pediatrician on the upper east side in Manhattan. She sees more patients than she needs and once you meet her, you will know why. She is knowledgeable, comforting, warm, approachable and no airs about being an immensely successful and popular pediatrician. She gives us her time when she sees us, has seen her fair share of babies, toddlers and concerned and worried parents and knows exactly how to handle every situation with ease. She is also fantastic in a crisis. She is never too hard to get on the phone, after hours or during a busy day. Overall, as a first time mother, I cannot recommend her enough. She is truly a God-send and I'm so happy to have her in our lives, helping us navigate this crazy world. I sleep better knowing she is our family pediatrician.

Starting over not knowing if my children would feel comfortable with this new office and most importantly the doctor! I am upset with myself I waited so long to switch as Dr. Loiselle and her staff are GREAT!! My children's previous pediatricians office was horrendous when it came to patient care. Coming to this new office made me realize my children deserved better care! From the front desk to the back office I have never experienced such great service. The office has filled out camp forms hassle free in a surprisingly timely fashion. We needed a prescription sent to the pharmacy in a crunch as my daughter was leaving to camp the next day and it was done with no trouble at all. I highly recommend this office you will be so pleased to have your child in good hands! To the staff thank you so much!!

After that they took him in alone. Each week we went he was more hesitant to go in.
