What??

Why in the world weren’t your patients informed!
I was just there this week I can’t believe I wasn’t notified.

After switching my kids away from UHC, and getting used to all this NYU business, wow I’m annoyed.

I understand that you're annoyed. Maybe the change wasn't finalized last week. I am sure patients will be properly informed.

I am just guessing but I believe the merge is being done for financial reasons.
It's very hard today's days to be a good doctor AND run a profitable office.

Was there today it's being done cuz D Diamond is retiring. Although he's retiring for the last 10 yrs already Zyskind says now it's real.
Dr. Zyskind is opening in Lakewood. He and Steven are being there once a week. Of the new Drs one of them is only being on 18 and one on 12. Dr Zyskind told me which one where but I forgot what he told me. The rest is staying the same.

It’s inevitable that in a desperate situation you won’t always have the luxury to choose exactly which dr you want to see.

if its a life and death situation I trust them all. For sick visits related to a chronic condition I would wait but would tell the receptionist the kid needs to see a specific dr and she tried helping me get an appointment. If the kid was running fever or vomiting then its whoever is available.

Ya know how long Dr D Diamond is saying that he's retiring?? He said it so loud and clear when he brought Steven in. I told Zyskind that he's saying it for the last 10 yrs already. So he Zyskind told me but now he's really planning to cut his hours. So between David cutting his hours and Zyskind/Steven being in Lakewood once a week they need more Drs. Probably has some financial reasons too I imagine even though he didn't mention anything.
Dr Klein and Dr Kirshenbaum will still be rotating. Although I'm not a big Klein fan. But Dr Zyskind and Kirshenbaum are already in less cuz I saw on another thread that they're in Willy too. So between Lakewood, willy, and both offices in bp, how much do you think Zyskind will be available?!
Dr Zyskind was amazed how a day after they finalized in Lakewood so many of his patients asked him abt it. He was like, how does news travel so fast!?

If Dr. Zyskind and Dr. S Diamond are being in the Lakewood office just once a week each, who will be in the other days? New doctors or PAs? Seems like there won’t b the same standard of care in Lakewood as in boro park, just have sort of the boro park pediatrics branding Can't Believe It

My thoughts too. Anyone know more info? I just moved a few months ago. Didn't find yet a normal pediatrician practice here in Lakewood/ Toms River. I'm hoping the one Diamond opens will be good.

Why would a dr that is extremely busy and already working at two locations open a practice in Lakewood? I am confused!!

Now that 2 drs are joining the Diamond group and bringing their patients, will it be a zoo times 2?!?!

I'm pretty sure Dr. Zyskind is looking to move eventually to Tom's River or the like and this is a stepping stone, waiting for his kids to get older and out of Brooklyn schools.

I'm not so sure. His wife has a huge dental practice somewhere in Brooklyn. She amazing and fantastic! Like no insurance or only fancy type of insurance pediatric dentist.

Are you talking about Audrey Rosner from Dr. Schulman’s office? Since when is she at 16 avenue location?

I also remember! I am really upset... and I myself was a patient by Dr. Diamond(with kreiger). I wish we can do something about it. They don't see that people are waiting so long and they have way too many patients?!?!!
