They spent the time to answer all the questions and concerns we had. Being that they are pediatricians you would expect them to be good with babies and kids... They are more than good... They are phenomenal! I love that they also offer Sunday hours and no questions are ever a waste of time for them! The staff who answer phones and are at the front desk are also superb! Everyone seems to genuinely love being there- and is just a good environment. We interviewed other offices before deciding on here and we are glad that we chose this practice. They definitely put my first time mom worries to ease.

We have never had to wait more than 10 minutes to be seen, usually we are taken in and seen right at our appointment time. They definitely accommodate last-minute sick visits and have an answering service for after-hour calls. We definitely recommend this office if you're seeking a nice group of pediatricians.

I was really nervous for this change, but the new doctors and staff made me feel so secure about the transition and are always so helpful when I have questions. I've never left the office with more questions than answers. While I will miss Dr. Lapsker, (she was my husbands pediatrician when he was a child) I know that there is a whole team that truly cares for every single child. I also love how small the practice is, and I feel like my children get the attention they deserve. There are sick and well child waiting rooms, as well as specific times of day that certain ages get scheduled, ie: newborns only in the morning to keep the amount of exposure to their new immune systems low. The small steps they take to ensure the safety, care and happiness of each and every patient and parent is above and beyond. And any parent knows that is SO important when looking for a good doctor.

So, I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Considering there are two locations and…read moremultiple receptionists, I don't think one of them should be the reason a person doesn't go here. After our beloved pediatrician moved away, we had to find another place (the ones left at her facility were awful and we tried the other "big" Peds in town and they were dreadful). We see Carolyn Koppel, and besides being incredibly kind and patient with me and my kids, she's also very good at what she does. We've seen Dr Lambert for several sick visits and his bedside manner isn't quite as down to earth but he's still kind enough, and he's very smart and good at what he does. He diagnosed my daughter with a rare GI issue as a baby (called FPIES) and I trust him as well as Caroline, and I trust no one. I can't speak for the other practitioners there though, as we've somehow managed to pretty much only see those two, but I've heard nothing but good things about them all from my fellow parent friends.

Dr. Shrivastiva is patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable--he always takes the time to listen, explain, and make sure we feel comfortable with every step of care.

Finding a pediatrician you can truly trust is rare, and we feel very lucky to have Dr. Shrivastiva guiding our children's health. I recommend this office wholeheartedly to any family looking for exceptional pediatric care.

But they misinformed me that they could not use a local on my laceration because it was on my finger & the capillaries are too small. So with stitches off the table, I opted for glue. I found it odd that they didn't try to push the sides of the cut together. So as the glue wore off, I had a large open gash. I used steri-strips (left over from a previous surgery) to close the wound. Today at another dr appt, I asked my surgeon about using a local on fingers & he said that is ridicules & he noted that they absolutely should have stitched it. It is gonna be a bad scar.

I had been a patient of CNY Family Care for 13 years and they just dropped me claiming I had been…read more"consistently disruptive of staff" - which is simply not true. Let me tell it how it is - this place has too many patients and every Dr I have ever seen here needs sensitivity training and improvement on bedside manner. I was in a traumatic near-death accident in January 2024 and saw Dr. Malvasi as a follow up to being in the emergency room for hypothermia and he was honestly great and compassionate - but wanted me to see MY PCP Dr Clapper like a week later. I was bruised from head to toe still from my accident at that point, and I had questions about my lack of sensation in my legs, feet, arms and hands. I had to explain to the nurse what happened and what I was there for. In walks Dr Clapper - OMG WHAT HAPPENED? why wasn't she prepared? Why did I have to relive my trauma AGAIN when all of this should have been in notes reviewed before walking into the room. At this time, I requested to be moved to Dr. Malvasi's care because he had seemed so compassionate after my accident. My following experiences with Dr. Malvasi were less than ideal - I gained weight due to my depression and PTSD and when I saw him again he asked how I was doing and I said it had been a tough winter - HE LAUGHED and said I CAN SEE THAT BY HOW MUCH WEIGHT YOU GAINED! Real professional. Also, knowing that I had been in an abusive relationship and had difficulty with men - he thought it was also appropriate to make jokes every time I saw him asking if I was dating again yet. Not funny. The last two times I saw Dr Malvasi I requested a specific course of treatment. He said we could discuss that further in 3 months if I did xyz. I did xyz and went back at 3 months and was told CNYFC had new policy for this treatment and to do xyz and come back in 3 months. Right before my next 3 month appointment I received notification that CNYFC would no longer be working with the treatment at all - even though I had been doing what I was told for the last 6 months to receive this treatment. I sent a disgruntled response to the portal and the response I received was that I didn't know what I was talking about and "good luck finding a new pcp". So one time I disagreed with their practices and expressed it and they dropped me like it was nothing stating "consistently disruptive to staff". So a one time expression of dissatisfaction is "consistently disruptive"? Also Dr Malvasi asked at both 3 month follow ups if I was dating yet - still not funny. I really have found in life that when situations like this arise, comparable to being fired from a terrible employer, move on to bigger and better things. I'll find a dr office that doesn't turn people over like an assembly line and actually knows the appropriate way to communicate with patients. Btw I found a new primary care and had an appointment scheduled in less than a week. CNY family care thinks they can treat people like crap as if there are no other physicians around. Read the other reviews - my experience is not unique - and there are plenty of better offices to go to than this one.
