As an example, when my son recently became sick, I was given an appointment only about an hour from the time I initially reached out. The NP who met with us, Reina, was amazing with my son. She made the experience informative and participatory for him - she engaged him in the process (doing a "science experiment") in a perfectly age-appropriate way. I've never seen a kid so delighted to be diagnosed with strep! Later that day, when I was having trouble at the pharmacy, the receptionist kindly offered to stay on the phone with me until our issue was resolved. I kept her on speaker for about ten minutes! Dr. Gidwani and her staff has consistently taken good care of my two children from infancy through the tweens. She is always responsive to questions, and it's easy to communicate with the office. We are very grateful to have this practice in our neighborhood.

Especially when it comes to your kid? I was lucky enough to be recommended by my gynecologist. Dr. Loiselle is the most sought after pediatrician on the upper east side in Manhattan. She sees more patients than she needs and once you meet her, you will know why. She is knowledgeable, comforting, warm, approachable and no airs about being an immensely successful and popular pediatrician. She gives us her time when she sees us, has seen her fair share of babies, toddlers and concerned and worried parents and knows exactly how to handle every situation with ease. She is also fantastic in a crisis. She is never too hard to get on the phone, after hours or during a busy day. Overall, as a first time mother, I cannot recommend her enough. She is truly a God-send and I'm so happy to have her in our lives, helping us navigate this crazy world. I sleep better knowing she is our family pediatrician.

Starting over not knowing if my children would feel comfortable with this new office and most importantly the doctor! I am upset with myself I waited so long to switch as Dr. Loiselle and her staff are GREAT!! My children's previous pediatricians office was horrendous when it came to patient care. Coming to this new office made me realize my children deserved better care! From the front desk to the back office I have never experienced such great service. The office has filled out camp forms hassle free in a surprisingly timely fashion. We needed a prescription sent to the pharmacy in a crunch as my daughter was leaving to camp the next day and it was done with no trouble at all. I highly recommend this office you will be so pleased to have your child in good hands! To the staff thank you so much!!

It takes two minutes to send in to the pharmacy so my daughter has to sit here in pain all the way until 1 PM when they're good and ready to send it which is ridiculous. It takes two minutes to do my daughter was literally screaming on the top of her lungs when I'm on the phone with them and they're still telling me you have to wait till 1 o'clock any other doctors office would've took the two minutes out of their day and just sent the script in not this place they are not family oriented. It's very commercial. I feel like they don't care about my child and I am taking my child out of this doctors office because they are very neglectful because if you've seen the fluid in her ear yesterday, why not send the antibiotics and no they're gonna wait until it gets worse and she's an excruciating pain and then I have to wait until the doctor is good and ready to send it in. That's ridiculous. Do not go here with your children.

Dr. Cathy Ward -- A Lifelong Blessing for Our Family!…read more Dr. Cathy Ward has been my niece's and nephew's pediatrician since birth. She saw my nephew right after he was born at Roosevelt Hospital, and now--15 and 13 years later--she continues to be a guiding light in their lives. Her care has been consistent, compassionate, and deeply personal. Through every stage of their development--and even through moments of deep family loss, like the passing of their grandmother--Dr. Ward has been there. I'll never forget sitting in her office, all of us in tears, and hearing the most comforting, heartfelt words a human being could offer. She didn't just care for the kids--she cared for all of us. Her bedside manner is extraordinary. She listens with patience, never rushes, and treats the whole child--physically, emotionally, and developmentally. My niece and nephew trust her completely. In fact, every time we leave her office, they say they want to become doctors just like her. That's the kind of impact she has--not just healing, but inspiring. Dr. Ward's credentials are impressive: over 30 years of experience, board-certified, and honored with the "Patient's Choice Award" and "Compassionate Doctor Award" for eleven consecutive years. She's been featured on NBC, Fox News, and in Parents magazine--but what truly sets her apart is her heart. Her staff is just as wonderful--responsive, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. Every visit feels like a warm, safe space. We feel truly blessed to have Dr. Ward in our lives. She's not just a pediatrician--she's a healer, a mentor, and a cherished part of our family's journey.

She connects with her patients at every age--and when they reach adolescence, she talks to them like young adults, instilling their trust in her to confide about navigating the craziness of their teenage years. "Dr. Cathy" always makes each patient feel as though they're her only patient of the day--there's never any sense of hurriedness, and she patiently listens to anything her patients confide, and answers thoughtfully and completely. I feel so lucky to have found her way back when, and to have her in my children's lives.

I have had three visits here with one of my kids with-in several weeks and the first was with-in a few minutes of the scheduled time but the second which was only for a vaccination we did have to wait for a 1/2 hour and they did not seem that busy, but the doctor was very polite. I learned a long time ago that doctors are the least punctual of the professions, I guess they don't teach "time management" in Med School. Third visit was right on time. The office is very nice and has a relaxed and inviting vibe and from what I have seen they treat everyone very well, and they treat the kids super well.

I have 2 girls and felt it was important that they have a female doctor. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against male doctors. The doctors in this practice are proactive when it comes to your child's health. They make sure that my children are current with all their shots. They are thorough when they give them their annual check-ups. They refer your children to other doctors who are good and accept your insurance plan. Since there are (4) four doctors in the practice you will have no problem getting your child seen for a sick visit or any emergency for that matter. Anytime one of my children became ill be it a stomach virus etc... I never had a problem getting a doctor on the telephone after hours. Getting those summer camp forms are never a problem either. You and your child get treated with respect and the doctors actually will play and joke around with the kids. I believe that in order to be a pediatric doctor you must want and love to work with children. The doctors here show it in the way that they will treat you and your children. They lose one star because in the past I had some issues with their front desk. I think they were going through some staff issues at one time but that has since been resolved. I deal directly with the Office Manager who is professional and sweet. You will not regret bringing your child to this Practice.
