My son’s pediatrician is Dr. Putter at Pediatric Associates – love her and the practice. At our first meeting when my son was a week old she told us she has the same birthday as him – so I always remember her birthday too!
Our pediatrician is Dr Putter at Pediatric Associates & we love her!

Probably the sweetest woman on the planet {is Dr. Perrone}….she is a wonder with our daughter who has all of a sudden developed an irrational fear of doctors. She holds her, comforts her and when she is going to get a shot, she talks her through it telling her all the while how sorry she is and how it’s going to make her feel better later on! Not only is she sweet to my daughter, but I am a first time Mom so she is sweet to me too. When I called her every day when my daughter was first born she didn’t make me feel like I was bothering her or asking stupid questions. It is hugely important for the pediatrician to respect your thoughts and opinions as a parent and she always makes us feel welcome!
We love Dr. Marina from Gabriel Pediatrics in Bay Ridge. She is great with children, and very patiently answers all my questions to reassure me even if they are so off beat.
Park Slope Pediatrics
Dr. Bialik, Dr. Steven Gelman, Dr. Dyan Hes
502 8th Ave at 5th Street
Brooklyn, New York (Park Slope)
718-780-8170
While there are some good dr’s (gelman was great), the practice overall is horrible. In the almost 2 years I was there, I ALWAYS waited a minimum of 45 min to 1 hr, more typically 2 hrs, even for a well visit. The dr’s take a long time to return calls and were very quick to send us to the emergency room for an unnecessary visit that required us to be there overnite — all because it would have been too much effort on their part to squeeze my son in to their schedule. all in all, not worth the hassle.
Dr. Stephen Ajl
Brooklyn Hospital Center121 DeKalb
Brooklyn, NY 11201 (Fort Greene)
Phone: (718) 250-8764
We see Dr. Stephen Ajl at the Brooklyn Hospital. I think he is wonderful. While he is not the warm and fuzzy, hold your hand kind of doctor, I find him to be exceptional. (He is very sweet, but I would say his style takes getting used to.) He always returns my calls right away, fits us in for appointments whenever we need them (he’s a one man show who answers his cell phone directly) and, most importantly has always been right about what’s wrong or not wrong with our daughter. Our whole family (uncles, grandparents, etc) have met him and all agree that he is wonderful. I will say that going to the Brooklyn Hospital for an appointment is not always the most pleasant experience- but otherwise we are very happy.
Dr. Maggie Carpenter
http://www.drmaggiecarpenter.com/
902 8th Ave. (514 9th St.)
Brooklyn, NY 11215
718.928.3354
My infant son’s pediatrician–Dr. Maggie Carpenter–is located in Park Slope, two subway stops from where we live in Carroll Gardens. So, visiting her for the first time meant baby got his first subway ride at 4 days old! It was and still is worth the stroller schlepping up and down all the station stairs, as she is a terrific doctor–warm, funny, and able to see things from a medical as well as a Mom perspective.
Terry Unchali
186 Clinton Avenue # 1A,
Brooklyn, NY 11205
(718) 596-5537
Our dentist is Dr. Terry Unchali, who is on Clinton Ave between Willoughby and Myrtle. I really like him as well- his office is very clean, and I am really glad that I found him. I’ve never had to wait for an appointment in his office. He never rushes me and gladly explains every little thing to me in great detail for as long as I need. I’ve called him many times as well and he’s always been really helpful and quick to return my calls. I believe he sees children as well.
Premier Pediatrics
Drs. Sylvain Weinberger, Barry Price, Tamar Magnus, Julie Gallombardo, John Sarnoff
263 7th Avenue, #4H
Brooklyn, New York (Park Slope)
718-369-8170
http://www.premierpediatricsnyc.com/
Hosptials: NYU, Methodist
This office is really efficient. They fit you in for sick visits, do the school paperwork in a timely manner and schedule appointments easily. They also run everything on computers, so records are easily obtained by everyone. The office is pleasant, the nurses always seem to be happy. Dr. Weinberger is the founder of the practice. He is jovial, experienced and easy going. Having said that, he will not (nor will the office) allow any patients to stray from the CDC’s vaccination schedule. Dr. Price is very thorough, fun, quick-talking and no-nonsense. He is always very calming with emergency calls and questions. Dr. Magnus is not very empathetic nor thorough in my opinion. I have seen her 3 times and each time have had to follow up with another doctor in the practice. Dr. Gallombardpo (Dr. Julie) is incredibly enthusiastic about her job, extremely bright and capable. She is like a Pied Piper. Dr. Sarnoff is a deeply caring doctor who remembers you very well and is quite interactive with the children. You can tell he loves his job. While not as experienced as Dr. Price and Dr. Weinberger, he is still a steady and assuring presence at the practice.

Brooklyn (Cobble Hill)
212-995-8888
Dr. Lois Jackson is pretty well known in the neighborhood- she is recommended and respected by pediatricians and has a great manner with children. She was thorough and not alarmist.
Dr. Graffeo
http://drgraffeo.com/
I love my dentist, Dr. Graffeo. Unfortunately, he is not in Brooklyn. However, his Manhattan office is pretty easy to get to – it’s in Rockefeller Center Plaza. He’s thorough, nice, and has high-tech dental tools such as electronic Xrays (so he can instantly see them)! Best part: He has angled a mirror at the window, so you can watch the skaters in Rockefeller Center as your teeth get worked on!

Dr. Veronica Santilli MD
Brook Island Pediatric Group
2462 65th St
Brooklyn, NY 11204
I love Dr. Santilli at Brook Island Pediatrics. The practice has a DR. in the office everyday of the week and even has a parking lot for patients. When you take your child for their first visit, you get the home phone number of every doctor and are given hours when you can call for non-emergencies, and you are told to call anytime with an emergency.
Dr. Amena Sultana MD
One Hands Place Physicians Associates
55 Greene Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11238
After the LICH pediatric office at Grand Army Plaza closed more than a year ago, we were so lucky to come across Dr. Amena Sultana, who is in the medical offices on Greene Ave near Adelphi. While she might not work quite hard enough to gain a patient’s approval and trust, she always takes her time, encourages questions from parents, and follows an open, non-alarmist approach to medical situations. She also has Saturday hours and does not overbook.
Tribeca Pediatrics

(212) 202-7988
Our pediatrician Maryann Tholany of Tribeca Pediatrics in Boerum Hill is the kindest, nicest Doctor I have ever met in any of the fields of medicine. I think she is totally suited to her profession because she is so kind and gentle with the children and the worn out parents which meant a lot to me when I was sleep deprived and swimming with hormones. She was also a life saver when one of my 4 week old twins nearly died last year from RSV. I can’t say enough nice things about her.
