I love my pediatrician who I saw for many years (age 6-20) at Clarkstown Pediatrics. Our doctor who we really liked is Dr. Elliot Siegal.

A good call back system is very important. The place I started to use has a terrible communication method and no call back system that works. I called in the morning about a question with a child ......nurse called back to tell me dr. has left...... Exploding anger

My sons doctor is great. Dr. Yakov Kiffel, if you are concerned about call back, he is pretty good with it. He calls you back within 10 minutes after you leave a message.

All of my friends that use him are very happy. He is very patient and understanding. He explains everything and you can always reach him. He came to the hospital when my son was born and after that I never had to give him my name.

I have BCBS and I know he takes Oxford, you can call him at 845-364-5437. He works together with his wife she answers the phone...

I dont want to bash anyone, however I saw someone recommended Dr. Werzberger. I have nothing against him, but I wanted to let you know that he is very fast, meaning he doesnt explain what is wrong and doesnt give you much time.
However I do know people that are happy with his services. But I just wanted to let you know.

ok I think dr kiffel is amazing but I don't think he takes fidelis I heard from someone that he takes other medicaid plans and you can switch your plan to use him you need to call him and ask him. another doctor Dr joffe is great you can call him I think he takes fidelis and if not takes affinity another medicaid plan. the other option which I used to use and was basically happy with is refuah health center they have alot of doctors some are better than others but someone is alway available

I saw Hillcrest Medical Associates when I was a kid thats Doctor Gorelics office. I now use them for my kids and am very happy wth all the doctorsin the group. Dr.Risa does not accept new patients but the other docs are very god too.

We use Dr. Gewirtz too and I agree with multicolored. He really knows what he's talking about and is experienced. The number I have for him is 362-1630.
