OBGYN Recommendations for Plainview Mom

Good Morning D. I have a great doctor right in plainview he is right on South Oyster Bay Road Dr, Myles Kobren ###-###-#### the hospital is North Shore Plainview Dr. Kobren delivered 4 of my 6 children my twins who are now 11 my 7 & 6 year old. Good luck M.

Congrats! My youngest of 2 girls will be one this Sunday! Such a great time...anyway, my OB/GYN is awesome and is in Huntington on 25A. His name is Stuart Lustberg and he is used by me and all my friends (I am not from the island, but when I started teaching in Huntington, I asked around and so many teachers go to him!) Obviously he is affiliated with Huntington Hospital. He is great, and has his own office and even wrote a letter to all his patients about how he refuses to run an office by overbooking people (He asks for a $10.00 fee over the co-pay for your annual due to insurance costs...most people I know told him they would pay even more than that if they had to because it's like no other doctor's office we know). His number is ###-###-#### and his wife, Regina, is one of the receptionists. Gwen, one of the nurses, is incredible too. You never wait longer that 10 minutes, and even THAT is rare. They call you the night before your appointment to remind you as well. I make my appointments for after school (3:30) and am able to pick up my daughter before her pre-school closes at 4:30. I can't say enough about him. Good luck!

Yeah, let me in on any info that you get!! :)

Hi D.,
MY OB/GYN practice is fantastic. I am in and out in 1/2 hour or less and I have been going there for six years. They are efficient, clean and professional. The doctors are Steven Sherwin and Seth Plancher, they are Garden City OB/GYN located on Stewart Avenue in Garden City. They are affiliated with Winthrop University Hospital. Good Luck.

Dr.Cafaro/Scaavo/Miller/Garrido/Rosenberg/Putterman group are the BEST!!!! The group is on Stewart Avenue in Garden City. They are excellent - THE BEST They deliverded my baby and cured my mom's cancer!

Hi D.,

I don't know if it's something you've considered, but I have a wonderful midwife. I was seeing an OB before I switched to Barbara Charles, CMN at 26 weeks pg with my first. I was starting to have reservations about how my OB was going to handle my request to go naturally. Barbara is wonderful - I have had more time with her than all of my doctors put together. There is a short wait at times (up to 1/2 hour), but when you are with her, you are her only concern and she takes her time with you. I delivered a healthy daughter in February and will stay with her for well-woman care. She has an office on Hempstead Turnpike in East Meadow and has an office in Huntington. If you're interested in trying her out, her number for both offices is ###-###-####.

She delivers at NUMC and has privileges at Huntington. NUMC would not have been my first choice of hospitals (my OB delivered at North Shore and that is where I would have expected to have my baby), but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised and very happy with my post partum care. The nursing staff was amazing and very nurturing. My baby was in the NICU for 5 days and that staff was also wonderful. I don't think I would have gotten the personalized care at any of the other area hospitals. Also, private insurance patients usually get a private room (billed to insurance as a shared room).

I know that going with a midwife is not for everyone - I would never have expected to make this choice for myself, but the patient care is so much better than one usually gets from a doctor. Barbara is absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend her.

No matter your choice, I hope you find a provider that you really like!

My son will also be one year old in June!!!! Congrats!!!! I switched OB/GYN's recently because mine was great throughout my pregnancy and then he was awful for the delivery. I delivered at LIJ and it was horrendous. My son, however, turned out perfect!!!!!!! So thank gosh for that. I also asked for recommendations ... and I now go to Northern Obstetrics & Gynecology at 3111 New Hyde Park Road, North Hills, NY. ###-###-####. All the drs are good. I see to Dr. Brian Cooperman, who is a doll and meticulous in his work!!!! I also heard great things about the women drs. in the practice too!!!!! I would use any of them. They only deliver at North Shore Manhasset. Hope this helps D.!!!!
