I'm looking for a pediatrician that comes HIGHLY recommended!

Hi ladies,

I am on the hunt for a ped to meet with about my toddler and get a second opinion on with something...I may also look to switch so someone in Nassau/Western Suffolk would be ideal.

I'm looking for a ped whom I can really trust with their opinion on things, are easy to get appts with when needed, and respectfully LISTENS to your concerns and issues Chat Icon

Any recos would be wonderful, thanks!Chat Icon

My sister uses Dr. McDonaugh and raves about him...I'm even thinking of switching. I don't know if Huntington is too far for you though.

Here's his info:

They also have a pharmacy and x-ray in the same building. Very convenient when child is sick or injured.

So many ladies on here use him, he's practically the official pediatrician of the parenting boardChat Icon

I know Commack is far for you, but I HIGHLY recommend my pediatrician. She has been extremely proactive and compassionate with all of Alec's issues. If you want info, just ask.Chat Icon

He's absolutely amazing - calls on his day off to see how my sick child is faring. I trust him tremendously. He has children of his own & definitely sees it from both a parent & a doctor perspective.

Re: I'm looking for a pediatrician that comes HIGHLY recommended!

I love our Ped. He is also one of the heads of the ped dept in LIJ Plainview- as I was told when I delivered there!
Dr Morris Rabinowicz on Old Country Road in Plainview. (516) 935-7333
The staff are wonderful. I have never had a problem getting appts and he always leaves time at the end of appts for questions and always asks if there are any questions throughout.
Like I said I LOVE him!
Good LuckChat Icon

Re: I'm looking for a pediatrician that comes HIGHLY recommended!

We use Dr. Woletsky in West Islip. I absolutely adore him. I feel that you need to trust your ped more than anything. My friend and my SIL have both switched to him. He is proactive, but is also not over-reactive. If you would like more info, FM me.

Dr Timothy George in West Islip. They are great!!! He also has two other drs with him Dr. Bonafetti and Dr. Vancura. Dr George and Dr Bonafetti are my favorite (I think because dr Vancura is new) but she is very nice.
