Dr. Joseph Levy is a top Pediatric GI doctor. I also used Dr. Pittman who I thought was pretty good. Dr. Levy is with NYU and Dr. Pittman is with Mt Sinai.

my daughter went to dr petty (not sure how to spell it) also at LIJ.

op, you do realize that NY is a very broad base to be asking about, right?

Yes, I do realize how big NY is - I'm from there, after all. But I have a car, and don't need someone within a 10-block radius of my house. I wrote NY as opposed to Israel (which is where I am until next week) and also as opposed to Baltimore or Cleveland or Texas....

DS is almost a year. Are any of these doctors better or worse with really little kids?

I used Dr. Volpert from Columbia. She treated ods when he was 1 and yds when he was an infant so she knows how to do babies.

When I was looking (for a 1.5 year old), Echo recommended Dr Kazlow from Columbia. I went with him for initial endoscopy etc and had a miserable experience with his office, scheduling, etc. He himself seemed great but I couldn't deal with his office. I called back Echo and they recommended Dr Pittman from Mount Sinai. I went with her for colonoscopy and follow up etc and was very happy with her. I think Dr Kazlow is supposed to be a bigger expert and if you can deal with waiting around 3 months to schedule whatever procedure he wants to do then maybe go with him.
Good luck!

DS had encaprecis (sp?). We had a nightmare with "the head of gastroenterology at NYU".

Dr. Audrey Brirbaum of Mt Kisco Medical Center, Westchester was excellent.

Just make sure whoever you use takes your insurance. I remember looking for a pediatric gastroenterologist for DS1 when he was a baby and the only one I could find who takes my insurance (GHI) was at Brookdale Hospital in East New York, Brooklyn. Thanks, I'd rather not be dodging bullets on the way to the doctor.
