Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wonderful Pediatrician
Dr. Peskin has been our family pediatrician for almost 25 years. She has taken care of my 5 children and now my grandchildren. We’ve trusted her for this long and will continue to do so. She is amazing!

Dr. Peskin is very friendly and down to earth. She does not just treat your child as a patient, but as a child. She cares about the parents' input as well. We have taken our children to see her for the last 7 years and have always been happy with our care!

Our 4 year old daughter has been a patient for 2 years now, and after a having a negative pediatrician experience, she was set at ease immediately after meeting Joy Peskin and her remarkable staff. Dr. Peskin is warm, welcoming, and gives us plenty of time for questions or concerns during our appointment. Highly recommended!!!

Rude office staff, very impatient with children. The office clerk is rude and the nurse who does the weight, height and head measurements is very unfriendly. These are not the type of people who should be working with children, much less in a pediatrician office. Dr. Peskin seems pretty nice and knowledgeable but I would not go back because of the other staff members.

Whoever she has answering the phone is a jerk. I waited 15 minutes on hold. My girlfriend is sick and just got her insurance. I called to ask if they would see her. The lady told me, We don't see new patients the same day. I said that seems arbitrary and what is someone supposed to do if they get sick and want to see a doctor? She gleefully said, Go to the emergency room. Oh, okay thanks. Won't do business with them again. Make me wait to speak to someone, turn me away and then be smug
