I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Moskowitz, Dr. Visci, Dr. Chin and all the amazing staff at the pediatric center. Everyone is kind and never dismisses any concern. The nurse practitioners Romelia, Lorraine and Dr. Claire are all nurturing, compassionate and provide excellent care. The providers care for my children as if they were their own. Unfortunately, my family requires a lot of medical care however the pediatric center makes every encounter as pleasant as it can be. We are so thankful for their exceptional care.
Dr. M. is so amazing. He has taken such good care of our children over the years. He is kind, empathetic, and certainly knowledgeable regarding illnesses and even the more uncommon issues that we have seen with our kids. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
Our family has used the pediatric center since our oldest was born 5 years ago and love the facility and staff. Our two kids go to Dr Moskowitz who is incredible, but also have positive experiences with other doctors in the practice during impromptu visits. We feel very lucky to have the pediatric center and have recommended to friends who have moved to the neighborhood over the last few years!
