Central Avenue Pediatrics

They are disorganized every form takes them at least a week to fill out. They don't have set appointment times so if you want to be seen you have to get here before they open and stand o. The line. And dependant on how early you get there that will determine how early you are seen. They have odd hours. On certain days they don't do certain things (shots, physical, etc) the Dr. Are good especially the one Dr. That is not part of the Schiffer family. She is great. I would have changed the kids pediatrician a long time ago but their it's not my call their mom likes the fact that there office is in Scarsdale.

The doctors are amazing. It is a great place.Been there over 12 yrs. Today I wasn't really happy with a new nurse. She didn't do height correctly on my daughter...the ponytail and although I told her it's incorrect she insisted. The Hgb sample was not done in one continuous drop based on the fact that it's a finger stick. She did not wipe the fist two drops and she used the microcuvete as if she wa scraping the finger back and forth .I asked her to see the tip and of course it waa the bird beak type that is used in the hemocue machine. She did not use a gloves either. ....universal precaution....hello!
Another person who atreneded my friend's baby handed her two cans of nutramigen and told her she better stop breastfeeding and start the formula right away because of the rash on the baby's face who happens to be my godson. I hate to be confrontational but I took offence as a lactation counselor. I was like ...I need the regular staff....the old staff I'm use to. Dr.Michelle...you were great as always. Very professional and warm.
My first experience that didn't go so well plus,I wasn't in the mood but I'm glad my friend didn't tell me what happened in the room until after we got home. She was really hurt because there was no diagnosis baby is doing well gaining weight and she said the doctor was pleased with his growth so who give that person authority to tell her to stop breastfeeding.
I just hate when people take short cut them get annoyed when you ask question.
I'm still going back and I'll encourage anyone to go there. It's a great place and that's just one person. I was the first one there so she couldn't have been tired that early.
Thank you Central Ave. Peds. Don't allow anyone to tarnish your good name.

If I can give zero stars I would!!!

I had my daughter blood tested for inactive TB at her new doctor because of what happened with this office. When she was younger and had her PPD it came out positive. She had a huge lump. But to me it looked like it could have been an allergy anyway the doctor at Central Ave prescribed her a medication she would have to take for 9 months that could cause damage to her liver. On the third day of trying to give her the meds, I gave up. She would vomit the medication and anything she ate so far. She would be really sick most of the morning afterwards. I went back to the doctor and told them I would wait till she's older to try I again because I felt she was too young!

Then when she started preschool, I had to have this doctors office fill out her paperwork to let her into school. On the sheet they wrote her PPD was negative... but I was told it was positive and they put her medication for it... being a first time mother I was unsure about what to do but I was angry the doctor said this and now on her sheets for school it says she came out negative! I had had enough with this place. There had been a couple smaller insistences that I saw at this office I did not like at all. (IE: daughter getting immunizations and needles being stuck into the bed afterwards while the nurse cleaned up). I finally switched doctors and first things first, I had her blood tested for the inactive TB and she came out negative! Which means the skin test was a false positive. Then before putting a baby on those meds the doctor at Central Avenue should have done a blood test to be sure.

So they were completely okay with giving her meds to ruin her liver without double checking ?

I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone! Please do not take your child here.

The doctors and staff are amazing. When I take my daughter I know that she is getting the best care. There is genuine personal interest and this makes the trip to the doctor's office a pleasant one.
