Hi there! Anyone from Long Island? I need to find a really good Pediatrician, any recommendations would be appreciated

I don't know where you are in Suffolk, but my pediatrician is in Patchogue. They are Dr. Narain & Dr. Rivera. They are excellent and always make room for my daughter (after work/weekends). I highly recommend them.

Dr. Musiker, I think hes in stonybrook - he was my doctor up until i turned 18- he is an exellent doctor and i know many people who also either went to him when they were young, or have children that currently see him.

i hope this helps! Good luck!

Since 9/2000 and for both Guatemalan adoptions.. I have used Adoption Specialist's in Mineola.belong to Winthrop University Hospital.. it's a 45 min drive but worth it even if you go a few times.

516-663-9570, ask for Gloria..
They complete tests that many DR's do not do.. They are dedicated strictly to International Adoptions..
They take oxford insurance.. I was just there 10 days ago.
They can send you info.. If you are interested and have your pink slip.. call and make a tentative appt.. they are booking 2-3 weeks in advance..

Good luck!

I live in Suffolk County and work with Dr's Nataloni, Forletti, Oleshak and Uy. They are located in Port Jefferson, NY.

I am a diabetic and wanted a physician who would be very alert to any possible problems/concerns. Dr. Nataloni's brother and sister-in-law saved my life in an emergency delivery. I chose Dr Nataloni and Dr Uy (pronounced WEE) in their practice. She picked up on early heart murmurs the delivering pediatrician did not. The practice is 3 women and Dr. Forletti. This will give my boys the option to see a male physician when they become a teenager.

Hope this helps! I love Dr Uy. She is a mother herself and is fantastic!

Good luck!
