We finally…read morehad the opportunity to sit and speak with her for an introductory get-to-know-you type of meeting. And we were very impressed. Dr. Jamee was incredibly professional and personable. She asked a lot of questions . got to know both my wife and I before we moved onto bigger topics. She asked about our family our goals, our concerns - offered valuable insight and great advice. Bottom line she gave off very good vibes. If everyone at Monroe pediatrics is like Dr. Jamie then we recommend them highly!!

I've consistently had very disappointing experiences at this office. In my personal experience, the…read morereceptionist is extremely unwelcoming--every phone call feels like an inconvenience to them. The tone is often irritated or short, which makes even simple scheduling questions feel uncomfortable. Please work on the front office staff and the people who answer the phone. There are PLENTY of people who would be happy to work at their capacity. I've also found that the bedside manner of the two doctors I've seen--Dr. Goldstein and Dr. Rosmarin--is severely lacking. Again, speaking only from my own interactions, they come across as unsympathetic and dismissive. Many times, it has even felt like I was being spoken to in a scolding or condescending way rather than being treated as a patient needing care. The remaining doctors are excellent. I dread to take my child knowing that one of the two are serving sick appointments. Yes, I could go else where but the remaining group is what has kept us there. I'm willing to wait to see any of them for a visit.

I recently moved from out of state and needed a new pediatrician.

I called and explained this all and they made no accommodation. Said they were booked for weeks because it's a busy physical season. A baby needing a surgery doesn't rate above a physical? Okay, good to know where their priorities are. Said I should just go to my previous provider. I explained that wouldn't work since they are out of state. Will find another provider in the area that actually seems to care. That's not this place, that's for sure!

My review is mixed. I have had lovely interactions with the front desk staff but Dr Shah, though…read morevery thorough, is lacking in kindness, patience, and bedside manner. He has been helpful but yet very condescending and disrespectful. I have felt completely shut down and unheard when trying to talk to him as if he doesn't care because he has referred me out to a million other doctors. I thought that as my primary doctor he should care about how I am feeling overall. He goes so quickly that it's rushed and there is zero room for compassion or discussing anything, he cuts me off, he doesn't seem interested and is very patronizing. I have literally left there in tears a couple of times. It is NOT OK!! He may be thorough and I appreciate that but the other stuff has made me get to a point that I don't ever want to have appointments with him anymore.

My childhood best friend had a beautiful baby boy, and I attended a Brit Mila ceremony conducted by…read moreDr. Dania Rumbak. In conversations before the bris, I knew that my friend was nervous about the process, the ceremony, and the actual circumcision. I can say with confidence that Dr. Rumbak put the family's mind at ease both with her expertise and her gentle approach. As a "spectator" at the ceremony, Dr. Rumbak passed around sheets so we can all follow along and feel part of the ceremony, and explained what different blessings meant. She also added some Jewish text in a modern and relevant way, which I appreciated, and my family continued to discuss post ceremony. The sweet baby did super well and was calm throughout the entire process. Truthfully, I didn't even know when the actual circumcision actually happened because she was so gentle and discrete. At the end of the ceremony, many people went up to Dr. Rumbak to compliment her on one of the best brit mila's they ever went to, and many asked for her card (including my mom for our temple!). She has a great business partner in Shachar, who socialized with the guests of the ceremony, kept everything organized, and was just an all around stand up guy. Oh, and how great that she is a mohel AND a doctor. Talk about putting your mind at ease..that will definitely do it. Highly recommend.

Would have loved so much to give a glowing review of Dr. Rumbak but unfortunately we look back on…read morethe day of my son's bris and what transpired after with a lot of sadness. Dr. Rumbak deserves credit and thanks for her discretion in not circumcising our son the day of his bris due to a urological condition she noticed in her ore-ceremony examination. We are thankful for that. She performed what essentially worked out to a baby naming ceremony for us. Obviously the day was emotional to begin with and the news she couldn't circumcise was extremely disappointing and heartbreaking since this was a day we looked forward to for so long. In the days after the bris we were able to absorb the events better and realized exactly what happened. To begin with, my wife asked for a program to keep as they were being collected (yes, collected), and the response was, "I collect them." She said the same to my mom (baby's grandma). We consider this ridiculous - even if the baby's grandparents couldn't have one, at least the parents should. When I emailed Dr. Rumbak about the issue I'm about to describe, I also mentioned the program and that part of my email was left unaddressed. Here's the major problem, though. We paid $800 for a circumcision plus $150 for travel from Manhattan to Nassau. We were happy to do this because we really liked Dr. Rumbak on the phone. However, after the bris, we had a bit of a realization that really irked us. Why were we never offered any kind of refund for the circumcision not being performed? It really should have been offered that day, on the spot, but it wasn't. Days and weeks turned to months and we still were never offered anything. We didn't even get an email or phone call to check on our son given the medical issue Dr. Rumbak identified. This was surprising given the emotional nature of the day but also because part of Dr. Rumbak's service (advertised on her web site and vouched for in her reviews) is her frequent follow up with the family. Finally after a few months, I emailed her explaining we feel we are owed some kind of refund due to the most critical part of the ceremony, the circumcision, not being performed. It is that expertise for which we paid. Dr. Rumbak issued a $200 refund, saying that the rate for a baby naming is $600. It's unfortunate such a beautiful day was soured by the experience we had. As new parents we feel we were, in a way, taken advantage of. Dr. Rumbak did ultimately give some money back, but we feel we shouldn't have had to ask. Experiences like this are what make people cynical about organized religion. The right thing to do would have been to give us a refund without us having to ask. We would not recommend her.

My child does not do well with doctor visits and she needs and deserves the time and patience in getting exams done. Nurses have not shown respect or understanding as I work with and communicate with my child. The exam rooms are garish, each assigned a color and decked out top to bottom in the bold hue. Not at all a relaxing atmosphere. We saw Dr Baskind initially and he was thorough, personable, and a fun person to sit with for your visit; we saw Nurse Mary Ellen who was informative and got me on the right track with breastfeeding, I'd go so far as to say guaranteeing our success; we saw Dr Ellen Sandoval who was gentle and kind, a real gem at this practice...
