 | Pediatrician Recommendations in Huntington? Any of you girls use a pediatrician at the North Shore Medical Group or Huntington Medical Group?
 Just looking for some feedback!
 Thanks!

 I use then too.  They have the best follow up care I have ever seen.  My neighbor across the street is a Pediatrician and he reccommended them too.  He takes his kids there.

 I have the best pediatrican. He's 6 minutes away. He's in Huntington - Dr. James Cavanagh. He has his own kids, is very good with my kids, talks to them as he's examining them. He calls on his days off to follow up with my kids regarding fevers, etc.
 
 The Medical Group has walk-in hours before 9am, is open on major holidays
 
 I can't say enough good things about this doctor. I've switched pediatricans a few times - one was very condescending, the other was terrific but wasn't covered under our insurance.

 I couldn't agree more, I love Dr. Cavanagh.  He is awesome and calls my son his birthday buddy since they share the same birthdate

 DO NOT RECOMMEND DR. LEFENFELD.  SHE IS A YOUNG INEXPERIENCED DOCTOR.  SHE MISDIAGNOSED MY BABY.  ALSO THEY MADE ME SIT IN THEIR WAITING AREA OVER AN HOUR A FEW TIMES.  SHE IS VERY RUDE AND TALKS DOWN TO PARENTS.  IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A DOCTOR FRESH OUT OF MEDICAL SCHOOL (NOT EVEN A US MEDICAL SCHOOL) AND WHO WILL SEND YOU TO THE ER FOR EVERY LITTLE ACHE OR PAIN YOUR CHILD HAS AND LASTLY WHO DOESN'T CALL TO FOLLOW UP AFTER AN ER VISIT THEN BE MY GUEST AND GO TO DR. LEFENDFELD.
 
 ALSO, THE NURSES THERE ARE VERY COLD AND NASTY.

 Welcome to the boards. You might want to start a thread to introduce yourself, it's kinda out of the ordinary for your first post to be so intense.
