We also use the same Epic emr, so all prior records will be there in the same chart - no need to transfer records! I can’t wait to see you all again! You can also book a visit with me via the NYU website or via my chart. To schedule an appointment please call 929.455.2500. I have been in Brooklyn for over 15 years now and I know the entire community is excited for this amazing medical institution, recently ranked #3 of best hospitals in the entire US, to be right here in the neighborhood! In April of 2023 I will serve as the pediatric medical director in the brand new state of the art NYU Cobble Hill location on 70 Atlantic Avenue. In all, it's been over 36 years that I have worked with children, and that experience allows me to give my families that seasoned advice on what is common enough to be called normal versus what is concerning enough to worry about. I always knew I would spend my life helping children, and have worked in daycare centers, umpiring for little league, tutoring, mentoring, doing research on development in infants, as well as ADHD into adolescence. I also have a ton of experience working with children of all ages. I live with my wife and daughters in Cobble Hill and thoroughly enjoy being part of this wonderful neighborhood. I have led interactive discussion groups at the Dodge YMCA as well as PS 29. At the site you can find my advice on a host of pediatric issues, such as newborn care, asthma, allergies, starting solids, colic and vaccines, as well as reviews on our practice. In addition, I was the pediatric expert for A Child Grows in Brooklyn, a wonderful website for families with children. I am very involved in the Brooklyn community, speaking at Ellen Chuse’s birthing classes, Families First, and Baby Bites Brooklyn. These exams are difficult, covering issues that a sub-specialist would typically manage, such as rare genetic syndromes, or management of diabetic ketoacidosis or septic shock from bacterial meningitis. The American Academy of Pediatrics requires that doctors take a number of exams in order to become board certified. In my profession, it is crucial that we stay on top of the recent research, evidence based medical practices, as well as results from well done placebo-controlled double-blinded unbiased studies. I stay current with the “latest and greatest” by frequently attending medical conferences, reading pediatric journals, and work closely with pediatric sub-specialists. I came back to the East Coast to complete my pediatric residency at Mount Sinai Hospital. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Biological Basis of Behavior, and then attended the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) for medical school. On the other hand, I am an astute well-trained physician from a top medical institution. I myself bring a little cynicism to Western medicine-I am proud to say that at our practice, we distance ourselves from pharmaceutical companies and resist being influenced by those seeking profits through healthcare. My father was one of the first consumer reporters, always questioning big companies and fighting for the little guy. My mother is a well known midwife, an active leader at La Leche League, and the founder and president of Mother Nurture, a doula company. On one hand, I come from a rather progressive family. I bring a balanced approach to my practice.
