We've had plenty of first time parent concerns and he's tackled them all super timely and with a way of explaining things that calms us and gives us more confidence every time. And we were amazed with Katie, the Lactation Consultant. she has decades of experience, she CHANGED our world!! we brought in our 5 day old baby and she completely turned me around with her knowledge base. I brought him in with me and nursed him with her help so that she could observe. She reframed so much of what the hospital told me generically and tailored it to me and our son based on how and what she saw. and she was spot on! he was happier, less frustrated and trusted me to read his cues correctly and get what he needed. it was an instant fix, I can't get enough of her!! She makes herself available by phone too if tou can't make it to her in person. She and Dr. Stephen are in this with you every step, honestly we couldn't have asked for more caring human beings to help guide us.

My kids LOVE going to the dr. They literally ask to go. Even if there are shots involved they like being there. When the heck does that ever happen? Dr. Nikki is more than a doctor.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Our primary care doctor was Dr. Elin R. Cohen. She was the pediatrician of our daughter for 1 year…read more We had to move and sadly we were too far away to keep her as our pediatrician. A few things that made us love her so much (our friends wow-ed when we talked about her): 1. When our daughter got born, Dr. Elin came in Saturday after midnight to see her (there were no complications, she got a score of 9 at birth, where the max is 10) 2. When my daughter had a week, she came to our house (which as i heard it's not done any more. I even read about her in the local news paper regarding this "being one of the last doctors that does home visits") 3. As first time parents we were scared like hell at a 102 fever, she wanted to see us on Saturday night, OMG i can't thank her enough for giving me the chance/peace of mind to sleep those nights. 4. If i left her a message she got back to us within max 30 minutes, either with a call or a message, based on the gravity of the situation. 5. Waiting time at the office was good. 6. She took the time to explain us the benefits of each vaccine and everything that came with it. 7. Her exams were always thorough. 8. Even after we moved from her, we keep in touch. 9. When we requested our daughters medical records they arrived within two days from the time of the request. I definitely recommend Dr. Elin, she is a wonderful caring person!

They discharge me by sending a letter in the mail. I called them multiple times days Straight. No one called back. I went into the office to find out if I could speak to someone, they promised me a call back by that afternoon apparently the boss who doesn't really work Is Carol she's never at the office she's never available and she doesn't return calls. I don't know what she's getting a paycheck for. After the first visit to the office, I was promised to call back. She never called. I went back the next day to ask if I could speak to her yet again and the front desk called the police!!! The police said there's nothing you did wrong but you can't come back here. This is the most corrupt strange situation I've ever encountered. These people are supposed to be taking care of our children. We are supposed to have relationships and trust with them other reviews below state the same situation. This practice only cares about bonuses from pharmaceutical companies and loading our kids with vaccines. The scary thing is that Jessica lied about my appointment lied about what we discussed lied to the administration and never got on the phone with Me to discuss her lies She also had an urgent message from Me before all of this came to fruition and it was regarding something I had discussed with her during the appointment. She refused to call me back even though it was an urgent message. I left a second urgent message still no callback this place is twisted. I urge every parent to stay far far away.

I called the office one day around lunch time to schedule an appointment for my sick baby. The woman who answered was pissed off that I called on their lunch break. It looked light there was a glitch in their phone system because I got through in the line during their lunch break. As a working mom, I only have time to make phone calls during lunch breaks. I was thinking I would probably just leave a message to their answering system. Instead , my phone call went through and this woman was so pissed that she had to cut me off when I was explaining to her my reason of calling ny asking if I pressed anything else on the phone to make my call go through. This woman is so unprofessional and had the worst customer service skills ever!

I went to the front desk to ask for a medical form to be filled out last minute and apologized for the rush and any inconvenience and was told the form could only be done by Monday. I kindly asked if there was any way to get it done earlier and I was told that I was being selfish and unfair to those who had forms in to be filled out earlier. I asked ONCE politely and was given this kind of rude, cold reception. Word for word this is what happened. I left the location and my form and came back to my mother and when she asked why I couldn't get it filled out I let her know what the woman in the front very rudely told me. My mother went back to the office to ask again and that it was very urgent and the woman exasperatedly told her that I need to "learn her lesson" and did everything but shoo her away.

We recently moved to Norwalk, and our insurance policy gave us this office as a pediatrician…read moreoption. I called multiple times to ask basic questions--how to register and what documents to bring--but no one ever answered. I left several voicemails and never received a callback. I decided to go in person, filled out all the paperwork, and left my son's medical records as requested. I was told they would call me within two weeks to schedule an appointment after uploading everything into their system. I waited, but after two weeks--nothing. I called again, left more voicemails, still no response. I went back to the office, and the front desk gave me a card with a specific contact person. I called that number with the extension, left voicemails, and even sent an email--again, no response at all. It felt like we were completely ignored. After waiting about a month with no communication, I went back to retrieve my son's medical records so I could find another provider. Instead of trying to resolve the issue or help move things forward, they seemed more than happy to hand the papers back and move on. That was very disappointing. I then found a different office, and the experience was completely opposite--they called me back the same day and scheduled both pediatric and dental appointments for the following week, quickly and easily. This office has been one of the worst experiences I've had in terms of communication. The lack of response from the front desk and staff made it impossible to get even basic care started. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for reliable and responsive pediatric care.

Tried to do "Zero" for star rating. I am so sad to see how this practice has steadily declined…read moreover the recent years. Daughter and I just checked in for a well visit and nurse was so rude and abrasive. So bizarre and unlike anything I've ever experienced. In addition to the poor treatment, the place looks like a war-zone. Office is in the midst of construction (This is the third location change in ten years mind you), dirty floors, holes in walls, I feel like i'm in a clinic in a third world country. Glad we have aged out but having had all three of my kids here since birth for over 21 years it's pretty shocking and hopefully not the norm. I can't imagine being a new parent here with so many regular visits. If you are considering this practice definitely look around before settling here. There has to be better options out there. I really hope so.

My childhood best friend had a beautiful baby boy, and I attended a Brit Mila ceremony conducted by…read moreDr. Dania Rumbak. In conversations before the bris, I knew that my friend was nervous about the process, the ceremony, and the actual circumcision. I can say with confidence that Dr. Rumbak put the family's mind at ease both with her expertise and her gentle approach. As a "spectator" at the ceremony, Dr. Rumbak passed around sheets so we can all follow along and feel part of the ceremony, and explained what different blessings meant. She also added some Jewish text in a modern and relevant way, which I appreciated, and my family continued to discuss post ceremony. The sweet baby did super well and was calm throughout the entire process. Truthfully, I didn't even know when the actual circumcision actually happened because she was so gentle and discrete. At the end of the ceremony, many people went up to Dr. Rumbak to compliment her on one of the best brit mila's they ever went to, and many asked for her card (including my mom for our temple!). She has a great business partner in Shachar, who socialized with the guests of the ceremony, kept everything organized, and was just an all around stand up guy. Oh, and how great that she is a mohel AND a doctor. Talk about putting your mind at ease..that will definitely do it. Highly recommend.

Would have loved so much to give a glowing review of Dr. Rumbak but unfortunately we look back on…read morethe day of my son's bris and what transpired after with a lot of sadness. Dr. Rumbak deserves credit and thanks for her discretion in not circumcising our son the day of his bris due to a urological condition she noticed in her ore-ceremony examination. We are thankful for that. She performed what essentially worked out to a baby naming ceremony for us. Obviously the day was emotional to begin with and the news she couldn't circumcise was extremely disappointing and heartbreaking since this was a day we looked forward to for so long. In the days after the bris we were able to absorb the events better and realized exactly what happened. To begin with, my wife asked for a program to keep as they were being collected (yes, collected), and the response was, "I collect them." She said the same to my mom (baby's grandma). We consider this ridiculous - even if the baby's grandparents couldn't have one, at least the parents should. When I emailed Dr. Rumbak about the issue I'm about to describe, I also mentioned the program and that part of my email was left unaddressed. Here's the major problem, though. We paid $800 for a circumcision plus $150 for travel from Manhattan to Nassau. We were happy to do this because we really liked Dr. Rumbak on the phone. However, after the bris, we had a bit of a realization that really irked us. Why were we never offered any kind of refund for the circumcision not being performed? It really should have been offered that day, on the spot, but it wasn't. Days and weeks turned to months and we still were never offered anything. We didn't even get an email or phone call to check on our son given the medical issue Dr. Rumbak identified. This was surprising given the emotional nature of the day but also because part of Dr. Rumbak's service (advertised on her web site and vouched for in her reviews) is her frequent follow up with the family. Finally after a few months, I emailed her explaining we feel we are owed some kind of refund due to the most critical part of the ceremony, the circumcision, not being performed. It is that expertise for which we paid. Dr. Rumbak issued a $200 refund, saying that the rate for a baby naming is $600. It's unfortunate such a beautiful day was soured by the experience we had. As new parents we feel we were, in a way, taken advantage of. Dr. Rumbak did ultimately give some money back, but we feel we shouldn't have had to ask. Experiences like this are what make people cynical about organized religion. The right thing to do would have been to give us a refund without us having to ask. We would not recommend her.
