Pediatrician in Cobble Hill/Brooklyn Heights

Hi M.,

There are TONS of Pedi-s in this neighborhood. WELCOME! I don't know if you have located the Yahoo Group for BoCoCa Parents or for Brooklyn Heights Parents. The groups are really active and amazing (tons of for sales on there too). If you ask on there, you will get about 1000 responses. What sort of thing(s) do you want in your Pedi? Certain hospital association? Believes/allows for parents to do delayed immunizations? Speaks a certain langague?

Anyways, we were with Drs Silverblatt and Finkleman (on Henry). They are nice and smart and friendly. But I have a personality/style difference with them. My husband and my general family doctor said she'd take our daughter too, so we switched to her. Dr Anne Cozen-Crensse (I think) (on Montague). She speaks French and is very professional. Both are associated with LICH, which is right here in the 'hood, which is what I cared about.

Good luck and hope to see you around.

brooklyn heights pediatrics - jana dehovitz - fabulous!

TRIBECA PEDIATRICS - they have an office in Brklyn Heights as well now. We've been going there for 3 years and LOVE the place and everyone there.

Dr. MIchel Cohen runs/owns it. He is French. But we go to see a female dr. there named Yasmin Kahn. She is AMAZING.

I love their philosophy and attitude about children's health.

hi, we are in cobble hill also. We used to have dr. Thelander from brian, o'connor, thelander practice 35 monroe place, she is absolutely EXCELLENT!!! We had to go to the mount sinai hospital after my son was born for 5 days, and she went there to visit us 2X, which she didn't even had to and she couldn't even help, just to support us and to know whats going on! We just loved her, than unfortunately my husbands insurance changed and we needed to change the doctor...now we have dr. Silverblatt 145 Henry street. She is also amazing, calling back to check if everything's good, give you as much time as you need for 100 questions...absolutely LOVE them both and they are just one block apart, so i guess whichever will take your insurance...i think that both are equally amazing! good luck with everything!

Hi M., I do not have a pediatrician for you in your area but a word of advice, take your time finding the right doctor. Not only does this pediatrician have to be right for the new baby girl but also have to be right for you. You want to find a doctor that you feel comfortable to ask any questions. Enjoy your new blessing.

Tribeca Pediatrics just opened in Boerum Hill.
250 Dean Street between Nevins and Bond Street

We see Dr Stinfil at 185 Montague St in Brooklyn Heights. She is wonderful, understanding, has vaccine flexibility, believes in nutrition, supports breastfeeding and vegetarianism and like her former partner that retired, she treats your child WITH you, rather than dictating what you have to do. It is a group practice with other doctors, so you might want to schedule appointments with each to interview them, but I have talked with Drs Messinger and Aronov on the phone and both were great too. Aronov talked us through a bad asthma attack and called back two days later on her own to check on our daughter.

Feel free to email me offline for more info. Good luck and congrats with the new baby!

HI M.,
We absolutely love Dr. Thelander and Dr. O'Connor. They're located in Brooklyn Heights on Monroe between Pierrepont & Clark. We live in Cobble Hill, and this is very easy for us to get to with our 4 month old twin girls!
They accept all kinds of insurance, have Saturday office hours, and each doctor has an emergency office in their home. Also, they host monthly question/answer sessions for new parents!

Best of luck,
J.
